Most people seem to like the Razer Blade Stealth, and I think its mostly because of the design (you can bring this into an office without looking like a gamer) but for me its not just the price, but the fact that the thermal issues haven't been addressed yet. **Read more if u want to hear my Razer Shop Story** You don't have to trust me on this, but i once went to a Razer Shop and I was abt to purchase a Blade when the sales person recommended that i purchase a laptop cooler with it as well, as he told me the laptop would've thermal issues without it, he pointed to the blades currently on display and said these have been running all day for the past week, notice how the keyboard has swollen up (imagine a little hill formed from your laptop chassis causing half the keyboard to point upwards.) this was due to thermal issues causing the battery to swell up and that's whats gonna happen in the long run if u don't purchase a laptop cooler\. As soon as i heard that, i was like nope, I ain't purchasing a blade after all. In my mind, a laptop unable to regulate its own thermals is like a full grown adult unable to regulate his own piss. If laptop can't handle such powerful hardware, then don't put such powerful hardware into it! OR just redesign the chassis! That's just poor engineering in my opinion. The laptop cooler isn't a solution, its just a band-aid on a flaw. **Anyway Rant over, continue on with ur day!**
@@Gabzilla19 well, i cant have a pc because i travel! And i usually put my laptop all night to render things. I own a lenovo from 2018 and still working great. I wont risk buying a laptop that wont work all the time, when other laptops do
Well lol I agree but I'm still Sticking with the sake. Until Apple bring back the ports... Actually not even that. The m1 has a pretty good GPU, but it doesn't come close to the Nvidia power
I can personally say I bought a blade stealth back in 2018 and the screen took a crap on me but I got a blade pro in 2019 and it’s amazing no problems at all and razer gave me a store credit because of my problems with the stealth.
ltt bought 2014 Blades and Razer seems to have gotten better with quality over the years. However, I will say my 2018 stealth has already been to the shop twice in less than a year. Once for the RGB LEDs breaking and once for the right speaker being broken. Razer was really good with service and performed all the repairs quickly.
The difference is how far away your screen to your eyes is. 850p on a phone that is just about 6"-7" away from your screen looks way worse than a 850p on a laptop that is further away. I can go longer about pixel density but that is the gist of it.
@@Splackavellie85 wow I thought we'll be having a civilized conversation here, but judging from your tone your not here to talk you're here to fight. That's a yikes for me dawg.
Except that part where Linus got his entire team Razers a few years back, and over 50% of them needed RMAd in less than a year, and then some more than once... If they've improved long term durability since then, great. Nowhere to go but up.
Duncan Hansel dude stop using this story, they were not lucky that’s all, used blade 14 from 2016 to 2019 without issues, now I’m with the Blade 15 from 2019 to now and everything ai perfect, my blade is even with one of my friend currently and everything is still fucking perfect. Razer enhance the quality of their products.
@@m4kill934 Luck is not an excuse when you pay thousands for a laptop, if apple had this same error no one would defend them so I don't understand why people defend razers trash laptops.
As a kid I took a typing course on a typewriter. You were taught to use the left shift. So yeah. You can literally remove the right shift for me, and I wouldn't notice :D. Funny by the way, no matter how nice they make a laptop, I couldn't live with iOS. I'm like a reverse Matt.
I purchased the Razer Blade Stealth that was available back in January. I didn't realize these were two different models. From what I can tell is the "1650 max-q" vs "1650ti" are these different? I switched over from a Macbook Pro 13 inch. I'm heavily involved in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, AirPods), but the switch was pretty easy. The build quality, compactness, and performance justified the price for me. I wanted an ultraportable that was capable of gaming (Mostly CoD).
Tessa Marie Alexandra ah I see. So from you can see, are the only differences the shift key, new panel, and gpu? How has yours been performing? I get periodic screen flickering and dimming.
Great video fellas 👍. Great balance of information and opinion. I'm leaning towards the stealth, don't like the green USB ports but other than that it looks perfect IMO.
Not the same class of laptop. Better value for sure, but doesn't have the fit and finish. The difference is in the details, and believe it or not, people do care about those details.
The are both lightweight gaming laptops. Actually they are pretty close in weight. The biggest difference is price? Why would one pay 400 dollars more for less ?
@@Crisp_images831 The biggest difference is charging mechanism, the G14 relies on brick power instead of C and with the prevalence of Gallium nitride chargers one could stuff this laptop in a bag under 3.3lbs all inclusive whereas the G14 would need at least 4 and probably closer to 4.5. 180w bricks aren't light. Additionally, materials weigh regardless of what you put them towards, and Razers are quoted as "built like a tank" while the G14's bottom is plastic that could easily get scuffed, dinged, or otherwise damaged. This lightweight gaming laptop is specifically tailored, and excels in fields that the G14 struggles severely in.
@Jonathan Davis I know... Changes to the chassis would be necessary but to keep it competitive they either need to do a bigger upgrade or getting a way to reduce the cost of it
@@letmetryscience4535 I completely agree, but if it was a "stronger" laptop it could compete a bit more with the g14 Right now I believe the g14 is way more appealing than the stealth both because of the price and becuase the stealth is underpowered compared to the g14
Any words on the display quality between the razer and the asus. I currently use the late 2018 Blade 15 - with 8750 + 1070 with the fullhd 144hz display and the screen is absolute superb in terms is colors accuracy. I mostly do photo editing rather than games so this is a pretty important aspect for me and Razer is the only machine that looks "mac-ish" in terms of build and aesthetics. No issues with the machine so far, I love it ( apart from the Shift key thing 😁😁 )
Sheft key? Oh! That? Man.. for me I never had that issue lol I always hit the right arrow. Guess some people are different 🤣 but nice I have the same model
So i bought a Late 2019 Stealth and the G14. The G14 keyboard lighting is so BAD that the only way to actually see the keys is to turn it off, plus although the fans on the G14 are fairly quite they were always on. Even after disabling boost and creating a new power profile. But I cannot say enough about how BAD the keyboard lighting is, the light bleed around the keys is brighter than the actual light that should be illuminating the key itself. Plus check out Reddit for all the issues that are being reported by customers, if you have a high tech level and lots of patience then take a look at the G14 otherwise i would wait on next year for ASUS to work out all the issues with the AMD integrated graphics and the NVidia dedicated GPU. And to fix that horrid keyboard. Or go with the Grey! My local BestBuy will have an openbox one for sale in about an hour.
dang, I'm deep in the apple ecosystem... but it's laptops like this that'll pull me out. I'll re-assess in a few years. I like quality built ultrabooks that can game a bit on the side.

@@j0404t If you have the money, I recommend you do what I do: razer's core x chroma, I've tried 4 different eGPU boxes, and while this is the most expensive, I could write a laundry list of the things they got right where others failed. Been working great with my dell xps
I have both the razer stealth and the G14, I bought the G14 to test for fun because I thought there's no way I'd replace my stealth, but after buying it I am actually debating selling my stealth. The thing about the stealth vs the G14 is that what makes the stealth special in my eyes, is only the build quality. Razer build quality in the laptop is like the MacBook of windows. However the thing is the G14 build quality is also very good, maybe not to the extent of the stealth, but I never feel like I am holding a downgrade, which I do feel while holding other laptops. What really sold me on the G14 is the 76 whr battery, on a chassis that is not much bigger than the stealth. Add to the fact that the G14 has a very efficient chip as well, which means that I am getting 3-4 hours more real life battery than my stealth. On top of that, the G14 is a vastly more powerful laptop, almost 50% better performance all around, means that the G14 can actually act as a desktop replacement in a 14inch form factor. Something that the stealth can not really do unless you plug into a graphic card extension. The only downside with the stealth is that there is no webcam, which Idk why they didn't put in, even a webcam in a shitty position is better than no webcam at all.
Are the reliability issues fixed though? All these content creators make super short reviews of these laptops when in reality these Razer laptops have had a massive history of reliability issues. I bought a 2019 Razer blade 15 and it had really bad overheating issues out of the box. Luckily I was able to return it to Best Buy. If you buy one of these laptops I highly recommend getting a extended warranty from a store like Best Buy or Microsoft because if something does go wrong you’ll be happy you had the warranty.
I also think tech review UA-cam channels should be more vocal about the issues these laptops have. With just a little bit of research it’s easy to find many people who have problems.
Imagine saying you don’t wanna laptop that looks like a gaming laptop and then buying a razor blade with a bright green razor logo on the back in RGB lighting keyboard with green USB ports lol
the logo on the blade stealth hasnt glowed green for a year now. the green ports and rgb keyboard are subtle details that makes it special... the overall structure is sleek and not like a normal ugly gaming laptop.
The razer blade stealth is the most portable of the razer computers (fits in even smaller travel bags, lighter, etc.), but the razer blade 15 is so much more powerful at the expense of a full 2 inches of extra size - and cooling is actually viable in the 15! ...Portability is pretty vital, though.
Your Intel cpu optimized programs won't run as well and egpu support is non existent. Idk if you guys left that out on purpose, but it's not as simple as amd giving the same/more specs for less money. By the way I'm not against amd CPUs at all. It's just not fair to say it's "more powerful" and other things without mentioning the pros of having an Intel cpu. Buyers might be mislead and personally I almost was.
I'm sorry, but I dont think you understand how CPU's work. Programs arent just "more optimised" for intel. They can be optimised for certain types of workloads. Where in the past intel have been faster in. But Performance is performance, and the Ryzen 4000 CPU's are simply more powerful pretty much across the board. You really need to find extremely specific workloads where you'll find that an intel CPU beats a 4th gen Ryzen. Go look at benchmarks instead of just saying random shit. Benchmarks exist for a reason. They tell you what the performance is like, and if a Ryzen is faster than intel in that given benchmark then its faster. Period. "Intel Nvidia optimisation" Lmao what? You realise there's no such thing as "intel nvidia optimisation", they are not the same company, they do not work together any differently that AMD would work with Nvidia.
@@coololly Adobe programs are more optimized for Intel (example of optimization and many people use these programs). When I say NVIDIA Intel optimization I meant NVIDIA Advanced Optimus technology, but I just realized it's for both AMD and Intel so I stand corrected there (although NVIDIA/Intel are the only ones who has implemented this so far). Just trying to give examples that the content creator could give to inform their audience since these are allot of money. As far as eGPU support, it's just not there yet which removes any possibility of simple graphics upgrades in the future and it's becoming more popular. I am simply stating that allot of these tech channels are stating that AMD is just better now without stating any of the drawbacks. It's just not as simple as # of GHz, cores, and price when talking things other than gaming such as this video and others too. Everyone talks highly about these ryzen processors, but when it comes down to it they are still going to use their razer blades and macbooks lol it just seems they are trying to farm likes
Why does everyone always talk about "bringing laptops to meetings" as a benchmark for looks. Who's bringing their personal gaming laptops into work? Everywhere I've worked that needed a laptop has always issued one to the employees... I don't understand why reviewers still say this. What's the last meeting any of these reviewers have gone to where anyone cares what their laptop looks like?
Travisty guess it depends on the company culture. I mean if your new to a top law firm. No ones gonna say anything for bringing an rgb laptop but I’d doubt you’d be getting any promotions. In a startup or when you’re close to the group your in the meeting with then yeah, I see your point.
For me it is about value. If I purchase my own computer I get something that performs way better, I keep the laptop and I can use it for other things outside work. At the same time, the money I would have used on purchasing a laptop, I then instead allocate this to traveling to conferences or attending seminars.
If you are meeting a client, these things matter. If you show up with something that is all angles and RGB, it's gonna look like a toy to some 50 year old CEO, and as stupid as that sounds, that could keep you from landing the deal.
@@@Albatross159 Bingo. You want something that looks like your priority is productivity rather than wasting time. Many gaming laptops look like they are more of a distraction and are impractical for travel or even mobility in general.
The thing that no one takes into consideration that I do when it comes to screen resolution and DPI is not the cripyness factor or good graphics, it's the ability to fit more legible text on screen that I love. I'm coming from a programming background on this and the higher the resolution, the more I can fit source files in my editor on a single screen and feel like I'm not losing much from my leaving my triple monitor setup to a single 13 inch screen, and while I could go for a larger screen I prefer portability and battery life in a laptop.
I do wish Razer would spin off a productivity line that used the same chassis, just without the garish snake logo, and a bigger battery. I would be more than happy to sacrifice some gaming specs for the security that I could make it through a couple meetings without having to stay plugged in. My old Zenbook Pro fit this description perfectly. Top specs for the day (4k monitor, 960M, PCIe SSD, and 16gb RAM ) for $1500. And it looks respectable at a meeting. I LOVE the look of Razer laptops. I hate the awful battery life and the glowing snakes.
Check out the razer studio edition models. They've still got the snakes & same batter, but they are silver. Other than that, I'd probably wait to see what other Ryzen 4000 laptops come out. They should have good battery.
Razer "Quality"... I've heard so many horror stories about Razer laptops, I honestly would never even consider buying one. Even if they have fixed the battery problems and terrible overheating in previous models, I would still probably never trust them with my money.
My prior opinion of Razer is that the build quality has always been very nice - but that's the concept - make a nice thin box, but **** up-gradabilty, thermals and forego a rational considered layout of components. Just cram it in the nice boutique box. Razer is like looking at an impressively tidied room, only to discover your kid has just thrown everything under the bed.
But the macbook pro has no 120hz screen, no dedicated graphics, similar build quality, a worse keyboard, as we are talking about the 13' and it is still really expensive
Zephyrus missing out on a webcam kills me, it’s a perfect laptop for me smaller, powerful, not absurdly expensive...no webcam. I’ll be getting either a 13 inch or 15 inch Blade bc of their amazing build quality and power for their sizes
The only thing I dont like about the new blade stealth is actually the new GPU upgrade...cpu upgrade is nice, but if you are going to game on it, I would rather use an eGPU and benefit from a stealth model without a GPU and a bigger battery for when I'm on the go, or buy a blade15... having an ultrabook with a GPU that eats all your battery time is opposit of what you normally want from an ultrabook. I have the stealth 2017 + aorus 1080 eGPU and when paired with an external display I find its a perfect fit for home gaming + school laptop set up. I can run all new AAA games at 1080p easily.
I have never heard of a longtime mac user who has never switched due to lack of hardware. I use macos instead of windows because it’s much cleaner and more secure
for me its all about waiting for the razer stealth to go on a really good sale wether it is open box at best buy or cyber monday 500 off shop smarter not harder on your wallet
First computer, Mac SE/30. Twentysomthing years later of supporting Windows systems - sick of Windows on any system. Have no need for touch screen, I clean my screen enough and Apple track pads are so good, what’s the point.
@@hirakh5405 As true as that is I have never got into gaming and I’ve gone through 3 Windows Laptops during the time my one MacBook Pro is still being used. So it’s pay now or pay later and I take advantage of no interest deals.
@@jvinot60 Well, I was talking from my perspective. My previous Ideapad lasted me almost 8 years and except some screen flickering, it still works. In the end, it's all about personal experiences. Even so, I can understand your point of view.
I’m glad Matt is happy with the laptop and at the end of the day that’s all that really matter. However to me Razer as a brand is worse than Apple when it comes to useless price markups just for their logo. At least Apple has second-to-none tech support, excellent build quality, and offer an OS which is tailored specifically to maximize the performance of their devices. Meanwhile Razer literally just has a keyboard that changes colors. Not to mention everything Apple is actually good at Razer fails miserably at. Tech support from them is just a generic hotline, their laptops have infamously horrible build-quality/durability, and it’s priced terribly when you can get various other Windows laptops with better specs for cheaper.
While I agree with the tech support. Razer literally uses the same CNC design and the build quality is phenomenal, having owned apple MacBook 2015 and other windows machines (ho Envy, Asus Zenbook) and currently a reader blade 15. Razer isn't noticeably worse than apple. They also don't cheap out on hardware using brands like Samsung SSD ect. Further they have to pay for Windows its not like it's free. Also being pro laptops razer's are leaps and bounds ahead in cooling and GPU performance and screen refresh. I'm not hating on Apple they are beautiful machines and have there own merits, just saying razer is better in alot of ways. Also apple has a much higher price markup, jus sayin.
Also: Razer laptops are specialized for gaming, and their build quality is also good, so... Also a maxed MacBook Pro 15 goes over $3.1K, and you’re saying RAZER is overpriced? Go to their website geez
I agree, I dropped my 1911 on my stealth and it got a small scratch and I was scared it would shatter the screen but nope it was perfectly fine! (don't ask... long story...im from Texas you would not understand.)
In the exact same boat right now, finally moving back to WIndows full time after 15 years on Mac. I decided on the new Stealth but I am having a hard time deciding between the 4k touch and 1080p 120Hz options. I'm not bothered about the price just whether to downgrade from Retina to 1080p or upgrade to 4K at the expense of battery life. Is there a big difference in battery life and which did you decide on between the 2?
Razer laptops will always be on top for quality and design IMO. I transitioned over from a Mac to razer because of the design and it was cheaper than a MacBook. I actually saved 800 dollars on my 17 inch pro from the windows store ☺️ that came stacked with a 2080 card. I highly recommend a razer laptop. Yes you will pay a little more but quality will always take my money.
Mine is opposite. I am currently using the advance Razer Blade 15 2019 with 240hz screen. I have been using it since Jan 2020. No doubt It is one powerful laptop the can do multiple tasks, I am happy for that. But the biggest downside is that the laptop battery performance is really subpar for it's expensive price. Normal web surfing lasts me 3 hour max. Creating music production in FL Studio or Ableton Live 10, or editing video using Adobe Premiere Pro lasts me 2.5 hours. For these results alone I dont bother to test the battery life for heavyI games like Star Wars Fallen Jedi. the battery charger is so huge and heavy. I dont recommend Razer laptop at all as your workstation if you travel a lot and looking for game-workstation hybrid laptop. And as I play games lesser and lesser, most probably I will sell my Razer Blade laptop and maybe switch to rumor Macbook Pro, as I need portable machine that have a good battery life.
it's all about how much value you give to the premium feeling, that's all and it's completely personal. wtf this Austin. Never seen him doing the same thing to MacBooks
I wish this wasn’t the only laptop that has both usb-c charging on either side AND usb-a ports. All the other double sided usb-c charging laptops that I’m aware of (XPS 13/15/17 and high end MacBook pros) have gotten rid of their usb-a ports.
recently buught one of these for work from home and its pretty dam good, good bttery life, great build and very thin and light. can also play some light games on the IGPU whch is nice
Hey thanks so much for the fast review! I currently have 2019 model....How is the battery life now that it comes with 25w CPU, 1650Ti and 120hz monitor?
@@leomode2 I have not tested, but it only makes sense. They now have a 25 watt CPU vs a 15 watt CPU and a more powerful GPU, which will draw more power. Then they also have a 120hz screen which will require more power as well. The battery stays the same. More power draw and less available means less battery life
This is the problem with big tech reviewing channels. They have enough play money to own an iPad Pro and the new Razer Blade stealth to compare minute differences and get accustomed to which would be better. I get that’s the purpose of the channel, but for 99% off the population it’s an either/or situation. Most people can barely afford to get one of them, let alone both....
I'm on a macbook air from 2017 right now but after seeing the slightly disappointing lineup of the 2020 macbook pro, I've decided to go to windows. I'm trying to decide between the razer blade stealth or the new dell xps 13. They both seem to have pretty similar specs and they're around the same price range. Any reasons I should lean one way or the other?
I've used the 2016 Razerblade 14. Unfortunately, the build quality of the laptops isn't great, and they fall apart over time :( I assume it's improved over the years tho
I disagree about the screen and resolution. I switched from a window laptop with 1080p screen to MacBook retina display. Boi, I ain't going back to lower-res screen even when I switch to window back. The problem right now is Window laptop with a beautiful high res display (4k oled) eats too much juice. I would wait for miniLED 4k window laptop with 100wh battery to switch back from Mac. Hopefully, Lenovo thinkpad X1 Extreme series would have such spec. I sure love thinkpad keyboard and build quality.
In my opinion they should make a razer stealth base and a razer stealth advance for people who still don’t want to spend 1500$ plus just to have a 13 inch razer stealth
I have a question , would you say this would be a good choice for writers to pick since i know its already great for editing and i dont mind the gaming and the screen i okay for me so it can be portable but is it good for writing novels and what not?
If would wait honestly, the zephyrus is great but is the first of a newer generation. I would much rather have the zephyrus with fixed issue s(like the mentioned backlighting) with a look more similar to the stealth
Imagine Razer Blade stealth with R9 4900HS. That's going to run cooler, and it's going to have better performance compared to the current Intel lineup. It's power efficient too
Apple NEEDS to update the Macbook Pro 13 to match the Razer Blade Stealth, just throw in the 5300M to the current version (it would be awesome to have the 5500M, the Pro 16 should have 5600/5700 level of a GPU, top be honest). I would 100% pay $2k for a Macbook with the I7/I5(They more or less have the same preformance), 16Gb of ram at the 3733MHz, the 5300M 4Gb and 1Tb of storage.

Most people seem to like the Razer Blade Stealth, and I think its mostly because of the design (you can bring this into an office without looking like a gamer) but for me its not just the price, but the fact that the thermal issues haven't been addressed yet. **Read more if u want to hear my Razer Shop Story**
You don't have to trust me on this, but i once went to a Razer Shop and I was abt to purchase a Blade when the sales person recommended that i purchase a laptop cooler with it as well, as he told me the laptop would've thermal issues without it, he pointed to the blades currently on display and said these have been running all day for the past week, notice how the keyboard has swollen up (imagine a little hill formed from your laptop chassis causing half the keyboard to point upwards.) this was due to thermal issues causing the battery to swell up and that's whats gonna happen in the long run if u don't purchase a laptop cooler\. As soon as i heard that, i was like nope, I ain't purchasing a blade after all. In my mind, a laptop unable to regulate its own thermals is like a full grown adult unable to regulate his own piss. If laptop can't handle such powerful hardware, then don't put such powerful hardware into it! OR just redesign the chassis! That's just poor engineering in my opinion. The laptop cooler isn't a solution, its just a band-aid on a flaw.
**Anyway Rant over, continue on with ur day!**

That's the reason I've stayed away from Razer laptops. A staffs worth of laptops broke in a year or two and Linus paid for those out of pocket
True!
I can personally say I bought a blade stealth back in 2018 and the screen took a crap on me but I got a blade pro in 2019 and it’s amazing no problems at all and razer gave me a store credit because of my problems with the stealth.
@@matthewkuryan5601 we will se in 1 year,but i will be glad if the "quality" improved
ltt bought 2014 Blades and Razer seems to have gotten better with quality over the years.
However, I will say my 2018 stealth has already been to the shop twice in less than a year. Once for the RGB LEDs breaking and once for the right speaker being broken. Razer was really good with service and performed all the repairs quickly.
The angle of Austin's microphone really grinds my gears!
“4K is useless on a 14” screen”
But somehow, 850p on a 6.1” screen is the end of the world..
Lesley Harrys well the iPhone is mainstream. So it’s likely to get hate
The difference is how far away your screen to your eyes is. 850p on a phone that is just about 6"-7" away from your screen looks way worse than a 850p on a laptop that is further away.
I can go longer about pixel density but that is the gist of it.

Except that part where Linus got his entire team Razers a few years back, and over 50% of them needed RMAd in less than a year, and then some more than once... If they've improved long term durability since then, great. Nowhere to go but up.
Duncan Hansel dude stop using this story, they were not lucky that’s all, used blade 14 from 2016 to 2019 without issues, now I’m with the Blade 15 from 2019 to now and everything ai perfect, my blade is even with one of my friend currently and everything is still fucking perfect.

I purchased the Razer Blade Stealth that was available back in January. I didn't realize these were two different models. From what I can tell is the "1650 max-q" vs "1650ti" are these different?
I switched over from a Macbook Pro 13 inch. I'm heavily involved in the Apple ecosystem (iPhone, iPad Pro, Apple Watch, AirPods), but the switch was pretty easy. The build quality, compactness, and performance justified the price for me. I wanted an ultraportable that was capable of gaming (Mostly CoD).
The 1650ti model was only released last night :) I just purchased the Razer blade stealth in January too. What we got was the late 2019 model
Tessa Marie Alexandra ah I see. So from you can see, are the only differences the shift key, new panel, and gpu? How has yours been performing? I get periodic screen flickering and dimming.
These are the exact two options (Stealth vs Zephyrus G14) that I'm currently weighing out. Thanks for putting the comparison in this!
Great video fellas 👍. Great balance of information and opinion. I'm leaning towards the stealth, don't like the green USB ports but other than that it looks perfect IMO.
This laptop: **exists**
G14: I'm boutta end this mans whole CAREER
Smaller and probably lighter than the g14 so i dont think you can compare them
Dude you are comparing two very different laptops lol
Not the same class of laptop. Better value for sure, but doesn't have the fit and finish. The difference is in the details, and believe it or not, people do care about those details.
The are both lightweight gaming laptops. Actually they are pretty close in weight. The biggest difference is price? Why would one pay 400 dollars more for less ?
@@Crisp_images831 The biggest difference is charging mechanism, the G14 relies on brick power instead of C and with the prevalence of Gallium nitride chargers one could stuff this laptop in a bag under 3.3lbs all inclusive whereas the G14 would need at least 4 and probably closer to 4.5. 180w bricks aren't light. Additionally, materials weigh regardless of what you put them towards, and Razers are quoted as "built like a tank" while the G14's bottom is plastic that could easily get scuffed, dinged, or otherwise damaged. This lightweight gaming laptop is specifically tailored, and excels in fields that the G14 struggles severely in.
they finally listened to dave2d on the shift key issue lol

If the stealth had a 1660ti or a 2060 more people would jump on bord but with a 1650ti ,Asus has a huge edge over it
Daniel Santos dude it’s a 13.3 inch laptop
@@omarsalem5053 so? The Asus g14 is a 14 inch one, it's not a huge difference, razer or reduces the cost of the stealth or puts more power on it
@Jonathan Davis I know... Changes to the chassis would be necessary but to keep it competitive they either need to do a bigger upgrade or getting a way to reduce the cost of it
There's actually nothing wrong with the internals for this form factor...it's 100% the price
@@letmetryscience4535 I completely agree, but if it was a "stronger" laptop it could compete a bit more with the g14
Right now I believe the g14 is way more appealing than the stealth both because of the price and becuase the stealth is underpowered compared to the g14
Any words on the display quality between the razer and the asus. I currently use the late 2018 Blade 15 - with 8750 + 1070 with the fullhd 144hz display and the screen is absolute superb in terms is colors accuracy. I mostly do photo editing rather than games so this is a pretty important aspect for me and Razer is the only machine that looks "mac-ish" in terms of build and aesthetics. No issues with the machine so far, I love it ( apart from the Shift key thing 😁😁 )
Sheft key? Oh! That? Man.. for me I never had that issue lol I always hit the right arrow. Guess some people are different 🤣 but nice I have the same model
Austin and matt : switching mac to windows to mac to windows to mac

So i bought a Late 2019 Stealth and the G14. The G14 keyboard lighting is so BAD that the only way to actually see the keys is to turn it off, plus although the fans on the G14 are fairly quite they were always on. Even after disabling boost and creating a new power profile. But I cannot say enough about how BAD the keyboard lighting is, the light bleed around the keys is brighter than the actual light that should be illuminating the key itself. Plus check out Reddit for all the issues that are being reported by customers, if you have a high tech level and lots of patience then take a look at the G14 otherwise i would wait on next year for ASUS to work out all the issues with the AMD integrated graphics and the NVidia dedicated GPU. And to fix that horrid keyboard. Or go with the Grey! My local BestBuy will have an openbox one for sale in about an hour.
Fan is loud
dang, I'm deep in the apple ecosystem... but it's laptops like this that'll pull me out. I'll re-assess in a few years. I like quality built ultrabooks that can game a bit on the side.
I bought a blade stealth in early 2020 and where I went back to uni I always get people asking questions about it and asking about it, it’s such a beautiful laptop

Subscribed.Good luck with your channel.
I have both the razer stealth and the G14, I bought the G14 to test for fun because I thought there's no way I'd replace my stealth, but after buying it I am actually debating selling my stealth. The thing about the stealth vs the G14 is that what makes the stealth special in my eyes, is only the build quality. Razer build quality in the laptop is like the MacBook of windows. However the thing is the G14 build quality is also very good, maybe not to the extent of the stealth, but I never feel like I am holding a downgrade, which I do feel while holding other laptops. What really sold me on the G14 is the 76 whr battery, on a chassis that is not much bigger than the stealth. Add to the fact that the G14 has a very efficient chip as well, which means that I am getting 3-4 hours more real life battery than my stealth. On top of that, the G14 is a vastly more powerful laptop, almost 50% better performance all around, means that the G14 can actually act as a desktop replacement in a 14inch form factor. Something that the stealth can not really do unless you plug into a graphic card extension. The only downside with the stealth is that there is no webcam, which Idk why they didn't put in, even a webcam in a shitty position is better than no webcam at all.
Got my first Blade 15 and it's beyond amazing, that build is not joke man.
Are the reliability issues fixed though? All these content creators make super short reviews of these laptops when in reality these Razer laptops have had a massive history of reliability issues. I bought a 2019 Razer blade 15 and it had really bad overheating issues out of the box. Luckily I was able to return it to Best Buy. If you buy one of these laptops I highly recommend getting a extended warranty from a store like Best Buy or Microsoft because if something does go wrong you’ll be happy you had the warranty.
I also think tech review UA-cam channels should be more vocal about the issues these laptops have. With just a little bit of research it’s easy to find many people who have problems.
Imagine saying you don’t wanna laptop that looks like a gaming laptop and then buying a razor blade with a bright green razor logo on the back in RGB lighting keyboard with green USB ports lol
the logo on the blade stealth hasnt glowed green for a year now. the green ports and rgb keyboard are subtle details that makes it special... the overall structure is sleek and not like a normal ugly gaming laptop.
What I just don’t get is why get a stealth when you could get a razer 15
The razer blade stealth is the most portable of the razer computers (fits in even smaller travel bags, lighter, etc.), but the razer blade 15 is so much more powerful at the expense of a full 2 inches of extra size - and cooling is actually viable in the 15!
...Portability is pretty vital, though.
Your Intel cpu optimized programs won't run as well and egpu support is non existent. Idk if you guys left that out on purpose, but it's not as simple as amd giving the same/more specs for less money. By the way I'm not against amd CPUs at all. It's just not fair to say it's "more powerful" and other things without mentioning the pros of having an Intel cpu. Buyers might be mislead and personally I almost was.
I'm sorry, but I dont think you understand how CPU's work.
Programs arent just "more optimised" for intel. They can be optimised for certain types of workloads. Where in the past intel have been faster in. But Performance is performance, and the Ryzen 4000 CPU's are simply more powerful pretty much across the board. You really need to find extremely specific workloads where you'll find that an intel CPU beats a 4th gen Ryzen.
Go look at benchmarks instead of just saying random shit. Benchmarks exist for a reason. They tell you what the performance is like, and if a Ryzen is faster than intel in that given benchmark then its faster. Period.
"Intel Nvidia optimisation" Lmao what? You realise there's no such thing as "intel nvidia optimisation", they are not the same company, they do not work together any differently that AMD would work with Nvidia.
@@coololly Adobe programs are more optimized for Intel (example of optimization and many people use these programs). When I say NVIDIA Intel optimization I meant NVIDIA Advanced Optimus technology, but I just realized it's for both AMD and Intel so I stand corrected there (although NVIDIA/Intel are the only ones who has implemented this so far). Just trying to give examples that the content creator could give to inform their audience since these are allot of money. As far as eGPU support, it's just not there yet which removes any possibility of simple graphics upgrades in the future and it's becoming more popular. I am simply stating that allot of these tech channels are stating that AMD is just better now without stating any of the drawbacks. It's just not as simple as # of GHz, cores, and price when talking things other than gaming such as this video and others too. Everyone talks highly about these ryzen processors, but when it comes down to it they are still going to use their razer blades and macbooks lol it just seems they are trying to farm likes
Why does everyone always talk about "bringing laptops to meetings" as a benchmark for looks. Who's bringing their personal gaming laptops into work? Everywhere I've worked that needed a laptop has always issued one to the employees... I don't understand why reviewers still say this. What's the last meeting any of these reviewers have gone to where anyone cares what their laptop looks like?
Travisty guess it depends on the company culture. I mean if your new to a top law firm. No ones gonna say anything for bringing an rgb laptop but I’d doubt you’d be getting any promotions. In a startup or when you’re close to the group your in the meeting with then yeah, I see your point.
Depends on the size of the company. Smaller earlier stage companies allow you to use what you want.
For me it is about value. If I purchase my own computer I get something that performs way better, I keep the laptop and I can use it for other things outside work. At the same time, the money I would have used on purchasing a laptop, I then instead allocate this to traveling to conferences or attending seminars.
If you are meeting a client, these things matter. If you show up with something that is all angles and RGB, it's gonna look like a toy to some 50 year old CEO, and as stupid as that sounds, that could keep you from landing the deal.
@@@Albatross159 Bingo. You want something that looks like your priority is productivity rather than wasting time. Many gaming laptops look like they are more of a distraction and are impractical for travel or even mobility in general.
Am I the only one who thinks that this is has become Austin Evans 2?
Nah, I think this channel is run by Matt and Ken

It is.
Thanks for being the only source, showing the Razer stealth next to the zephyrus g14 for comparison. *Like
But does it have “blast processing” ?
Great video, thanks guys. I wanted to add that you could still use 25W on the late 2019 model if you aren’t using the 1650.
The thing that no one takes into consideration that I do when it comes to screen resolution and DPI is not the cripyness factor or good graphics, it's the ability to fit more legible text on screen that I love. I'm coming from a programming background on this and the higher the resolution, the more I can fit source files in my editor on a single screen and feel like I'm not losing much from my leaving my triple monitor setup to a single 13 inch screen, and while I could go for a larger screen I prefer portability and battery life in a laptop.
will you like if i say i love the vids?
If yes, i love them
JK i really do love them
Thank you for doing a video on these two laptops! Ive been looking at both of them online and I wasn’t too sure on which i should pick
I do wish Razer would spin off a productivity line that used the same chassis, just without the garish snake logo, and a bigger battery. I would be more than happy to sacrifice some gaming specs for the security that I could make it through a couple meetings without having to stay plugged in. My old Zenbook Pro fit this description perfectly. Top specs for the day (4k monitor, 960M, PCIe SSD, and 16gb RAM ) for $1500. And it looks respectable at a meeting. I LOVE the look of Razer laptops. I hate the awful battery life and the glowing snakes.
Check out the razer studio edition models. They've still got the snakes & same batter, but they are silver.
Other than that, I'd probably wait to see what other Ryzen 4000 laptops come out. They should have good battery.
I have razer blade stealth MX150. Still really happy with my decision over this laptop.
Razer "Quality"... I've heard so many horror stories about Razer laptops, I honestly would never even consider buying one. Even if they have fixed the battery problems and terrible overheating in previous models, I would still probably never trust them with my money.
What happened?

My prior opinion of Razer is that the build quality has always been very nice - but that's the concept - make a nice thin box, but **** up-gradabilty, thermals and forego a rational considered layout of components. Just cram it in the nice boutique box. Razer is like looking at an impressively tidied room, only to discover your kid has just thrown everything under the bed.
My Wallet=🔥
Razer laptops are cool but they're so over priced. Way more expensive than the MacBook Pro.
But the macbook pro has no 120hz screen, no dedicated graphics, similar build quality, a worse keyboard, as we are talking about the 13' and it is still really expensive
I’m an Apple guy, but the only windows laptop I’d ever switch to would have to be the dell XPS series. Something like the XPS 15.
Zephyrus missing out on a webcam kills me, it’s a perfect laptop for me smaller, powerful, not absurdly expensive...no webcam. I’ll be getting either a 13 inch or 15 inch Blade bc of their amazing build quality and power for their sizes
I love 4k and have been using it for years on my desktops, but completly agree that for a laptop it's uneeded.
The only thing I dont like about the new blade stealth is actually the new GPU upgrade...cpu upgrade is nice, but if you are going to game on it, I would rather use an eGPU and benefit from a stealth model without a GPU and a bigger battery for when I'm on the go, or buy a blade15... having an ultrabook with a GPU that eats all your battery time is opposit of what you normally want from an ultrabook. I have the stealth 2017 + aorus 1080 eGPU and when paired with an external display I find its a perfect fit for home gaming + school laptop set up. I can run all new AAA games at 1080p easily.
I have never heard of a longtime mac user who has never switched due to lack of hardware. I use macos instead of windows because it’s much cleaner and more secure
for me its all about waiting for the razer stealth to go on a really good sale wether it is open box at best buy or cyber monday 500 off shop smarter not harder on your wallet
Yeah goodbye macbook
Also goodbye to 1 of my kidneys too
First computer, Mac SE/30. Twentysomthing years later of supporting Windows systems - sick of Windows on any system. Have no need for touch screen, I clean my screen enough and Apple track pads are so good, what’s the point.
Price and gaming.
@@hirakh5405 As true as that is I have never got into gaming and I’ve gone through 3 Windows Laptops during the time my one MacBook Pro is still being used. So it’s pay now or pay later and I take advantage of no interest deals.
@@jvinot60 Well, I was talking from my perspective. My previous Ideapad lasted me almost 8 years and except some screen flickering, it still works. In the end, it's all about personal experiences. Even so, I can understand your point of view.
I’m glad Matt is happy with the laptop and at the end of the day that’s all that really matter.
However to me Razer as a brand is worse than Apple when it comes to useless price markups just for their logo. At least Apple has second-to-none tech support, excellent build quality, and offer an OS which is tailored specifically to maximize the performance of their devices.
Meanwhile Razer literally just has a keyboard that changes colors. Not to mention everything Apple is actually good at Razer fails miserably at. Tech support from them is just a generic hotline, their laptops have infamously horrible build-quality/durability, and it’s priced terribly when you can get various other Windows laptops with better specs for cheaper.
While I agree with the tech support. Razer literally uses the same CNC design and the build quality is phenomenal, having owned apple MacBook 2015 and other windows machines (ho Envy, Asus Zenbook) and currently a reader blade 15. Razer isn't noticeably worse than apple. They also don't cheap out on hardware using brands like Samsung SSD ect. Further they have to pay for Windows its not like it's free. Also being pro laptops razer's are leaps and bounds ahead in cooling and GPU performance and screen refresh. I'm not hating on Apple they are beautiful machines and have there own merits, just saying razer is better in alot of ways. Also apple has a much higher price markup, jus sayin.
Also: Razer laptops are specialized for gaming, and their build quality is also good, so...
Also a maxed MacBook Pro 15 goes over $3.1K, and you’re saying RAZER is overpriced? Go to their website geez
Not shaming Apple their laptops are also amazing but each company has their own strengths
The difference of sound between the 2 is annoying ... either you have an echo or you don’t...period
I agree, I dropped my 1911 on my stealth and it got a small scratch and I was scared it would shatter the screen but nope it was perfectly fine! (don't ask... long story...im from Texas you would not understand.)
In the exact same boat right now, finally moving back to WIndows full time after 15 years on Mac. I decided on the new Stealth but I am having a hard time deciding between the 4k touch and 1080p 120Hz options. I'm not bothered about the price just whether to downgrade from Retina to 1080p or upgrade to 4K at the expense of battery life. Is there a big difference in battery life and which did you decide on between the 2?
Razer laptops will always be on top for quality and design IMO. I transitioned over from a Mac to razer because of the design and it was cheaper than a MacBook. I actually saved 800 dollars on my 17 inch pro from the windows store ☺️ that came stacked with a 2080 card. I highly recommend a razer laptop. Yes you will pay a little more but quality will always take my money.
Mine is opposite. I am currently using the advance Razer Blade 15 2019 with 240hz screen. I have been using it since Jan 2020. No doubt It is one powerful laptop the can do multiple tasks, I am happy for that. But the biggest downside is that the laptop battery performance is really subpar for it's expensive price. Normal web surfing lasts me 3 hour max. Creating music production in FL Studio or Ableton Live 10, or editing video using Adobe Premiere Pro lasts me 2.5 hours. For these results alone I dont bother to test the battery life for heavyI games like Star Wars Fallen Jedi.
the battery charger is so huge and heavy. I dont recommend Razer laptop at all as your workstation if you travel a lot and looking for game-workstation hybrid laptop.
And as I play games lesser and lesser, most probably I will sell my Razer Blade laptop and maybe switch to rumor Macbook Pro, as I need portable machine that have a good battery life.
You make the right decision going with Blade Stealth and it siill a great buy in 2021 I don't have I will be buying one this year
I love the ending! Very concise!
They still use heat pipes
put in a vapor chamber, and im pretty sure that they could put like a 1660 ti or even a 2060 or 2070 in.

Hey thanks so much for the fast review! I currently have 2019 model....How is the battery life now that it comes with 25w CPU, 1650Ti and 120hz monitor?
It's going to be worse. They did not upgrade the battery at all. Big oversight in my opinion
@@JohnJohnson-kg4ek Have you tested or is that your opinion?
@@leomode2 I have not tested, but it only makes sense. They now have a 25 watt CPU vs a 15 watt CPU and a more powerful GPU, which will draw more power. Then they also have a 120hz screen which will require more power as well. The battery stays the same. More power draw and less available means less battery life
6:09 I would never want to bring that logo to a meeting too.
@@TheMad0ne Yeah with that logo they definitely won't.
This is the problem with big tech reviewing channels. They have enough play money to own an iPad Pro and the new Razer Blade stealth to compare minute differences and get accustomed to which would be better. I get that’s the purpose of the channel, but for 99% off the population it’s an either/or situation. Most people can barely afford to get one of them, let alone both....
the fact that he's embraced he's diet logic by have the two logic albums in the background is a dub lmao
I'm on a macbook air from 2017 right now but after seeing the slightly disappointing lineup of the 2020 macbook pro, I've decided to go to windows. I'm trying to decide between the razer blade stealth or the new dell xps 13. They both seem to have pretty similar specs and they're around the same price range. Any reasons I should lean one way or the other?
I've used the 2016 Razerblade 14. Unfortunately, the build quality of the laptops isn't great, and they fall apart over time :( I assume it's improved over the years tho
Does the 120hz have faster response times? The previous razerblade was bad where you can notice ghosting. That was a deal breaker.
Hey guys this is Austin’s reverb
>Razer
inb4 breaks clamorously like every other razer laptop before it
EDIT: 6:19 people buy razer because... build quality O.o???

My 2015 QHD+ blade is still going strong with no issues whatsoever.
I disagree about the screen and resolution. I switched from a window laptop with 1080p screen to MacBook retina display. Boi, I ain't going back to lower-res screen even when I switch to window back. The problem right now is Window laptop with a beautiful high res display (4k oled) eats too much juice. I would wait for miniLED 4k window laptop with 100wh battery to switch back from Mac. Hopefully, Lenovo thinkpad X1 Extreme series would have such spec. I sure love thinkpad keyboard and build quality.
In my opinion they should make a razer stealth base and a razer stealth advance for people who still don’t want to spend 1500$ plus just to have a 13 inch razer stealth
Very cool laptop but it would be better for productivity with a 16:10 aspect ratio, so I'm firmly in the Dell XPS and Macbook camp
What do you guys think about the new xbox cyberpunk edition controller???
I have a question , would you say this would be a good choice for writers to pick since i know its already great for editing and i dont mind the gaming and the screen i okay for me so it can be portable but is it good for writing novels and what not?
Goodbye Razer blade - old as fuck thinkpad with arch linux
Get some sound foam Austin, that echo lol, and I see that logic album 👀
If would wait honestly, the zephyrus is great but is the first of a newer generation. I would much rather have the zephyrus with fixed issue s(like the mentioned backlighting) with a look more similar to the stealth
how bad is ghosting in the 120Hz screen compared to the old 60Hz?
Imagine Razer Blade stealth with R9 4900HS. That's going to run cooler, and it's going to have better performance compared to the current Intel lineup. It's power efficient too
Apple NEEDS to update the Macbook Pro 13 to match the Razer Blade Stealth, just throw in the 5300M to the current version (it would be awesome to have the 5500M, the Pro 16 should have 5600/5700 level of a GPU, top be honest).
I would 100% pay $2k for a Macbook with the I7/I5(They more or less have the same preformance), 16Gb of ram at the 3733MHz, the 5300M 4Gb and 1Tb of storage.
