One small change I noticed after looking at my video on the previous model (late 2019) is they reverted back to the old exterior texture. The late 2019 Stealth had a gritty texture that felt pretty nice, but was prone to showing dead skin and anything you rubbed against it. This one is smoother and doesn't have that effect, same as the early 2019 Stealth.
I was expecting a large number of comments mentioning the fact that it didn't use the new Ryzen CPUs but honestly that's fairly low on my priority list regarding improvements. Screen response time, key travel, lighter trackpad, better speakers, better anti-reflective coating on the 4K panel, better battery life (disregarding Ryzen power efficiency, this is still significantly worse than the Surface Laptop and XPS 13), mill the speaker grill rather than using a mesh filter, mill the hinge rather than the separate plastic hinge housing they currently use on all their Blades, and in general improve the user experience rather than maximize performance. I'd much rather have a full day battery than another CPU performance improvement (again, ignoring Ryzen power efficiency).
If anyone is looking at the Razer Blade Stealth, please take a look at the Asus Zephyrus G14 before you purchase this. I have both laptops, and the G14 wipes the floor with the Razor Blade Stealth.
The g14 kinda seems like a one tricky pony (amazing CPU power for the size). It's a good trick but it seems a bit over hyped. It's no longer an Ultrabook and looks more 'gamery', has a much worse display (dim and 40 ms response times are longer than even a 30 fps frame), no web cam, and runs very hot under load. They're at least made for pretty different people.
@@johnm91326 For me the Stealth is not worth the $2,000 price tag. I do 3d modeling and video editing, the performance I have seen from the G14 at $1500 is something I never thought I'd see this soon. You can tell by their designs, they are marketed towards two different crowds, but if you are a video editor, cinematographer, 3d modeler, architect, graphic designer , game designer, video streamer test the G14. It has way better battery life than the Blade, weighs around 3.5 pounds, renders 4k video in single digits and also plays Doom above 100 FPS. Not only am I returning the 2020 Razer Blade Stealh, I'm also getting rid of my Mac Book Pro!
@@johnm91326 totally agree that this is a totally different market than the G14. RBS 13 is for light gaming and a flashy feel / 4k display for watching video, g14 is for gamers doing more than Fortnite or valorant who need performance and want to still be able to use their laptop for things beyond gaming.
I love everything about the G14 except the keyboard. This beast is amazingly fast at most things. But I just can't get over the keyboard. The back light is the worst I have ever seen and while the travel and feel is nice the keys themselves just looks cheap. I'm actually considering returning it.
I re-exported my video multiple times because I noticed mistakes and typos and I guess the final export had a glitch because all the previous videos didn't have anything. Just bad luck I guess
If you don't play FPS games, is the ghosting really THAT bad? I've heard a few youtubers complain about it but everyone always tests this laptop with FPS games. I'd like to see some Elder Scrolls Online or WoW gameplay benchmarks and opinions of the ghosting with those types of games. What about RUclips videos?
For the price, it should definitely be improved on future models. That being said...I think people are making it out to be worse than it actually is. 29ms isn't great, but not horrible either. People play shooters on consoles at 60+ FPS all the time and TV's are notorious for having even worse response times. Ghosting might be a little noticeable if you're sensitive to it, but are you going to notice input delays and such? No. Not until 80+ ms. Edit: Unless you're an esports pro gamer with insane reflexes, this isn't going to matter.
Great review. I am still torn between the FHD and 4K. Casual gaming but most of this is for productivity on the road. I don’t think a 13” benefits from 13” but I think I quite like the touch screen option for browsing. I looked at the ASUS model everyone keeps mentioning and it looks good on spec and performance but looks like a child’s toy which doesn’t work for me when out and about. I am leaving the MacBook Pro world for this. What screen do you think? Is the finish different on the FHD vs 4K? Less reflective on the 4K vs matte finish of the FHD. I don’t know....
Lovely review, concise and to the point. I've heard you mention in several reviews aswell as this one that the trackpad is heavy. What do you mean by this?
Hi, believe it or not, I need to replace my alienware m11xR2 portability is a plus but I usually want a laptop that can survive 10 years, most powerful processor + fastest memory / ssd. Would you recommend me this one or the g14. Thanks. I still play games but in a Play Station
G14 because the 2060 can play games at high settings today. This is a low setting at 1080p laptop today, so it won't hold up at all in three years, whereas the 2060 based systems will likely be able to handle medium or higher in 3 years on next gen games.
Uh MSI PS63 Modern / Prestige 15. It's like 1500 I think, but you can sometimes find the new one on sale for like 1200 ish and the old model around 1000 on sale. The Lenovo IdeaPad S740 is also pretty good. It trades the 10-12 hour battery of the MSI for faster performance, and it's heavier. It's like a cheaper XPS 15 basically.
Not sure actually. It says I have like 4500 ish hours but most of that is farmed cause I used to have all my programs open. I'd probably say like 1000-1200 hours of that is legit.
Because they didn't use Ryzen. Well, it's also worse than other Intel laptops because it uses 28 watts for the CPU instead of 15 (or 25) watts in competing laptops. Add a 1650 Ti, a 4K screen and a small battery to the mix and you'll see why getting 5 hours is actually pretty good on that small battery. Again tho, Ryzen woulda given you 3x the performance if they included it.

What about 15 inch 2020 advanced model?

I've been looking for a review like thisever since the 2020 razer stealth was announced. Thanks!
Happy you found it helpful!
@@renashbell1203 Agreed, after market/customer care is absolutely atrocious.
I´ve loved the fact that you tested gaming on TF2 Saxton Hale mod hahaha
Don’t forget that miniaturisation cost money
Great detailed review as always ❤️
Severely underrated channel
i like how infinity labs doesn't focus on the processor per se and rather how the cpu/gpu performs in the bigger picture. keep up the good work!

Pog review, wasabi.
Bill to change name to Tsunderestar
I love your reviews. Keep up the good work man.
very epic review thank you
pp tog stream
1:44 can we just talk about how high his fov is in tf2
I wish if its display bazzel reduised more, very elegant looking laptop. And thanks Infinity labs for this video.
Thanks for the review! I was searching for a vid like this!
How much better is the 11th gen i7 model vs this one for gaming? I'd love to see a comparison review.
just tell me how is the battery life🙏🙏🙏
Hmm, mine can go up to 10 hours on battery saver running google docs, gmail, and a little bit of youtube.
I have the 4k model
@@iriditium197
Does it get hot on your lap?
will this be your daily driver?
How much better is this one than the late 2019
10 W
Depends on what you prioritize in the gaming experience.
1:09 to 1:11 there's a green flicker. It's the video issue
I re-exported my video multiple times because I noticed mistakes and typos and I guess the final export had a glitch because all the previous videos didn't have anything. Just bad luck I guess
It's $1500 on amazon now... Would this be a good recommendation for that price?
Yeah!
Great quality review as always! Would be really interesting to see an AMD chip in a Razer laptop but that's highly unlikely.
Why? They make nearly nothing that is better than the comparable nvidia chip.
@@mrphyslaw I think they are talking about the CPU.
Ryzen?
MacBook killer 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I love raze laptops they are pretty awesome with no cons
😍😍😍😍
Can you please review asus zephyrus m15
Nice Video!
Pog
Noo... speakers are one of the most important aspects in purchase. Wanted to see some coMparision to other products
1650ti is not a gaming gpu. This is a casual gaming laptop. Look at models with a 1660ti or 2060 like the G14 for real gaming performance.

Hey man, I've been looking into buying this laptop but am concerned about battery life. How is your experience so far in that regard?
Lovely review, concise and to the point. I've heard you mention in several reviews aswell as this one that the trackpad is heavy. What do you mean by this?
You have to apply more force to "click" with it. At least compared to a MBP.
Why isn’t the link in the description?
Can you review the MSI GS66 Stealth if you’re able to?
which would you recommend the razer stealth 13 or the zephyrus g14
Razer stealth 13
Hello there infinity labs could you review the Lenovo ideapad l340?
Between this and the prestige 15 which is the best?
VSH POGGG
100w charger? My laptop uses 240w
is it ok to let the hinge hot for 2-3 hours? Because I playing game that need the GPU load so it get quite hot
When thinkpads?
Next video. I've waited long enough and they're probably going to be refreshing the P1 soon so I shouldn't delay it any longer.
@@InfinityLabsTech thanks a lot) which models will you review?

What game is he playing?
I would like to know as well. It looks fun
@@crunhy18 tf2
Can I get one? Kinda didn't wanna comment as it was 66 but
I am happy that you where playing tf2
Can it play gta 5 ?
yes
But the mediocre battery life though... WHY Razer?
They increased the TDP of their CPU
