- One of my favorite little ultrabooks just got a refresh. This is the Razer Blade Stealth 2020 with a GTX 1650 Ti GPU in it along with some other nice bumps in the specs which we’ll talk about in a sec.
For now, Razer sent me a Razer Blade Stealth 2020 to borrow so let’s go through it in this complete walkthrough. Let's get to it.

Everyday I fall asleep watching videos about this laptop in the hopes that I get to dream of owning it
"I know some people get annoyed"
DAVE LEE WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION
Dave and Linus are Razer fanboys. What do you expect? Both of their Razer break after a year, and they still go back to Razer. lol
It's more like use what's work mentality. I don't blame them for buying the same product for it's portability and powerful specs.
why David Lee?
Croatia
@@jinraigami3349 They are not really fan boys, but they are telling us to buy the brands that pay them for reviewing. Its paid commercial, nothing more nothing less. It's the same for all big channels. Unboxing therapy, etcetc
Scared about the battery life of this thing, almost everything they changed just makes for a more power hungry device, except the new RAM, while keeping the battery the same.
Yes please report on how battery life goes, even a quick post on here. Also what's the TDP for each of the Synapse performance profiles? (e.g. my Blade 15 has 35W and 45W (CPU) for Balanced and Gaming respectively)
I have it, the battery life is horrendous maybe 1 hour on full charge in premier off charge but otherwise a great computer, I love it!
@@officialsebvon 1 hour?! my 15" with 1070MQ reaches about 6-8h of regular use. Had the 13" with MX150 first and it reached about 10h (as long as i used it as it was, no external monitor)
Vonzy 1 hour just doesn’t sound right...
@@joshwachtel4438 I think he meant 1hr under a stress testing load not plugged in
This is the first video of yours I've watched and I love it. I love how you get right to the point and how you actually cover EVERYTHING. Great content :)
i like how it gets progressively greasier as the video plays out
Cockleton eyeglass cleaner without alcohol does wonders for that
great straight forward review, prob gonna buy this
I like it and being honest, even when the price is high, it's not pricey, because it has good value.
Nice video, liked as always my friend
Thank you sir!
Well, it depends. People have different "value"
Yes it is pricey. The asus g14 have a better processor (ryzen 9),better gpu (rtx2060) and better price (1450 dollars),all better just for 0,6 inches bigger but still small.
@@nigstar1239 just came here to tell that.
@@nigstar1239 Love the specs but the design really fucked me up. Really don't like the look of it. I want the the Razer design but the Asus specs and especially the price
“It has USB-A”
Me: Take my money
Too bad Razer QA and customer service are complete trash. No-one should be sinking this amount of money into a Razer anything when they can't be counted on to have your back when something inevitably goes wrong with it.
I would like the Razer Balde stealth 13 2020 vs Asus Rog Zephyrus G14
Jose Duarte id personally go for the Razer b stealth 13 the zephyrus is plastic
This looks and feels like the Macbook Pro in the Windows world. Really sleek and nice stealth design.
Spurgt Fuglen except razer blade gaming laptops don’t really last long theres been so many negative reviews about laptops not functioning after 6-12 months and also a poor service.
Admiral V there product are beautiful but there custom service and product quality are straight garbage
A MacBook Pro will get 3x the battery life and service life. You’ll be lucky to get 3 years out of a Windows machine before it dies and I guarantee you’ll need to reset the laptop at least once in your ownership. Windows doesn’t “just work”. You’ll probably have to reinstall Windows altogether when you get a virus, or when a Windows update fails to install properly and renders the thing a paper weight.
Trust me, I’ve been there....
@@Spazza42 mac cannot run games tho like tripple a titles only casual games fuck that
@@admiralv8538 to be honest if you want to game buy a desktop or a console,gaming on a laptop is a bad idea, it will work but it wont work for long, so many things can go wrong with ur laptop.Its cost to much for the short longevity of it.
After testing , any idea what the battery life is generally like?:)
2-3 hours on gaming. 4-5ish on ultra-saving battery mode for normal use..
I'd prefer you to go with the Lenovo Legion Y740 series as they give better specs at very reasonable price..
@@masoodahmed8946 i had a lenovo y510p and the motherboard fried in about a year, which is a common problem actually. wasted 1000 dollars just like that. wouldnt recommend lenovo products.
@@masoodahmed8946 I get about 7-8 hours normal use
I have the 2017 Razer Blade Stealth and I'm disappointed with the newer ones. Mine has the lit up snakes in the back and the new keyboard lighting seems like a downgrade compared to mine .-. smh..
edit: awesome video!
I love Razer! The laptop that convert me from Mac...
“Pretty tiny” USB-C charger.
Hyperjuice GaN: Am I a joke to you?
In my opinion they should make a razer stealth base and a razer stealth advance for people who still dont want to spend 1500$ plus just to have a 13 inch razer stealth
If you could find one in stock....
Maybe you haven’t heard about what AMD is doing if you’re calling this “the most powerful laptop”...
AMD doesn't make screens or adequately competitive GPUs at all, so regardless of what your CPU preference is it doesn't have a dog in a fight regarding the "Most powerful *Ultrabook*" in the context of gaming.
The ROG Zephyrus G14 is very powerful but no TB3.
Kaio Studio i wouldnt call the g14 an ultrabook
Alex Surber go check yoga slim 7 with 4800u in terms of CPU power, plus there are so many things in the world besides gaming.
Alex Surber I’m so confused. It’s beside the point whether or not AMD makes screens (obviously not, intel doesn’t either). The Ryzen 4000 series CPUs are unstoppable with their insane performance at low TDP. I’m simply suggesting that any Intel powered laptop being released in 2020 will either have worse performance than one released with an AMD CPU, or worse battery life.
can you explain how you are the only youtube channel that has this new 1650 ti version? can you post some CPU and GPU benchmarks?
So much ... chin ... That screen is deceptively smaller than it should be.
Watched a movie in bed on this & almost got to the end b4 battery died, yay, so good!
That fucking shift button is the reason why I am selling mine.
Can you make a comparison to the Asus Zephyrus G14?
Very different laptops honestly. I'd love to do a walkthrough on the G14 though as I'm interested in it myself but it's more a replacement for the main editing laptop not the Stealth
@@TheUnlockr g14 vs g15...whts d diff only screen size?? I prefer 15inch anyday
Waiting for mine :)
What about the Asus Zephyrus G14? I'm sorry to say but Razer is overrated tbh. It's still maybe the first gaming ultrabook (Kind of) but still.
I’ve heard so many reliability issues from Razer laptops. Idk if they’ve done anything to fix that
Had my Blade 15 with GTX 1070 since 2018 and I have had no issues. I love it and I’m super happy with my purchase. I think Razer laptops represent the best combination of power and sleek design available in Windows laptops and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a Razer laptop based on my experience
My razer blade has never had any problems
Had 2 Razer Blade 15 2018 models. First had nasty coil while plugged and it had loose keyboard keys. RMA'd it and got a new one which developed 3 dead pixels (within a span of like 2 weeks) and had the battery swell up right after the 1 year warranty expired (go figure). Friend of mine had one as well which wouldn't read hard drives plugged into the USB port. His also had significant backlight bleed on bottom and faced BSOD with displayport when plugging it in to an external monitor. I've since then switched to an Eluktronics Mag 15 and couldn't be happier. Yeah it might not look as good as a Razer product (but its still made of magnesium) but have had ZERO issues with it. Not to mention the keyboard puts any Razer laptop to shame.
My 2015 Razer Blade is still doing great, never had issues with it. Still love it.
They're as bad as you've heard. Do yourself a favour and avoid.
I work at best buy sometimes and my biggest gripe with razors are they get soooo hot. By far the hottest of any laptops on display. I always use them in the winter to warm my hands. Along with Samsung's 8k tv lol
Now all they need is a better cpu and a 16/10 aspect ratio and this is the best laptop in the world
That huuuuge chin bezel kills it for me. Why oh why?
I think the asus zyphrus G14 is better in every way and it's only 1400$
I think it's slightly heavier , thicker and overall bigger .
no web cam too
Not the same genre at all. If you're just looking for specs for the money then the G14 is great for sure. But if you're looking for the smallest laptop you can get with the most power the Stealth would be better. Make sense?
@@TheUnlockr yeah but the thing is people get an up market ultrabook to game on !! If you were going for something to game on then the G14 is almost perfect, on the other hand if you just want an ultrabook for everyday tasks then i feel there are better options out there like the XPS.
@@TheUnlockr Subscribed. You're one of the only reviewers who gets it.
"As an alternative, the Dell XPS 13 is lighter, quieter, and offers much the same performa..." Hold up. They're not even in the same category. One can't do shit in SotTomb Raider while the other one runs it well. Apples to oranges comparison right there. What other Ultrabook has a full on graphics card?
If Only this had the AMD 4800H instead of Intel
God damn intel ruining peoples dreams & performance boosts.
Amd is going with the more core =better thing. that isnt always the case. it is better in this case but the gpu is still more important if the difference in core count is literally 2
60hz and 120hz are hugely different. I can’t use a display unless it’s 90hz+
ok so youre spoiled ?
I have the early 2019 stealth which has a 60hz screen and while it feels slow compared to my 144hz display on my pc it doesn't feel terrible probably because it's smaller.
This is probably a zoomer question but how significant is 60hz to 120hz in day to day tasks (i have egpu that is connected to external 144hz anyways for gaming), also I understand that model may be a pre production, but due to the cpu switch to 25w, is there a diff in temperature? (I just ordered the old one 2 days ago and honestly dont need the ti bump) Also thank you for being the fastest to upload a video 10/10!! :)
All I can say is that high refresh rate is highlu underrated. Some people are more sensitive that others, but, to me, refresh rate upgrades are immedietly noticeable even in just daily tasks.
you should be able to know a huge difference between older iPad and newer iPad with 120hz screen.
Slight update for people who care, I used the blade for a day now, i see the ghosting that everyone is complaining about but i also dont game as serious on the go, so im extremely happy with my purchase.
I feel like the new refreshed screen are more for people who are pro gamers, or are extremely picky on refresh rate at every second of their use.
I think the new Asus G14 is a better ultra book than this. It's 14 inch and packs more power than the super beefy Helios 300 (acc. to Linus). Which do you think is better?
It's not powered off USB-C though, and a brick is substantially heavier/larger than a gallium nitride C block.
@@alexsurber9404 The G14 does support 65W USB-C charging
I’m looking at the 15inch 2020 model but is there a big diff between the 9th gen Intel and 10gen Intel is it worth waiting for 2020 instead of the 2019?
I have it, the battery life is horrendous maybe 1 hour on full charge in premier off charge but otherwise a great computer, I love it!
This is the new model that was just announced it's not even shipping until the end of the month 🤔
i have 2019 1080p and it lasts for at least 4-5hrs. what you smokin
I'm looking for a 2 in 1 lightweight easy to carry budget laptop good for video editing 4gb graphics preferabbly, good audio . plz suggest
Hi I really liked your review and I was wondering if you would recommend the blade 15 or the stealth?
Thank you!
That's depending on how much power you need vs portability. 15 has a lot more power and the stealth is way lighter and more portable.
Ok thank you I think I would choose pawer over portability so I think I will go with the blade 15
@@jasper8712Good choice. The Blade 15 is still quite light and a LOT more powerful. I have the 2019 Blade 15 and it's awesome !
I really want one of these. Looking for a 13" ultrabook alternative to a Macbook Pro as I'm done with Apple products, still leaning towards a Surface Laptop 3 though.
The battery life is gona be shyte tho. I dont give it more than 4 hours of runtime.
You can check my video on the last model and they should be similar. Depends what you're doing on it but yeah not great. I did find that setting it to Battery Saver increases it a good amount but only do that if you're just browsing the web
I hear bad things about razer laptops like issues and customer service since it's a small company. I wanted to buy one but after doing a bit of research I went with the macbook pro 16. The runner-up was a surfacebook but since the macbook can dual boot in mac osx and windows, I'm giving apple another chance.
@@famishedrj3 yes razer has the most horrible customer service stories
Take a look at the new Asus G14. It's one of the Best Thin and Light Laptop out there. It's powerful and efficient, great battery life thanks to the new Ryzen 4000. (It smoke this Razer Blade Stealth, at a cheaper price)
Microsoft is also working on a new Ryzen 4000 based Surface, might worth the wait if you really like the Surface laptop.
Thanks for just a great review, not judging
Question, i know you can adjust the fans, but I was wondering what was your experience with the device when the fans kick on or when the device? I was also wondering how does it dissipate heat? Both were issues for me last year when i purchased my 13 inch non touch screen. Also, when i received mine from Razer, the chasy was also bent. So all of that bundled into one, is what led me to return my unit.
to much money for windows laptop better take apple macbook pro
They finally changed the right shift key size! I'm pretty sure I am not the only one waiting for Blade Stealth comes with a redesigned right shift key.
I literally bought the Razer Stealth GTX1650 a few months ago, this feels like a slap in the face... Please give us the option of boosting the CPU too!
I know right????
same here. this sucks. and 2019 model just came out like less than a year. I'm torn apart for the right shift key also that is huge for me.
I don’t mind because I bought the late 2019 version for college and the less power hungry CPU, GPU, and screen make it last longer off charge since the battery size is the same. I also got it on sale for $1499, so maybe that helps.
It’s like they never saw the G14
Omg much better in overall for the same price as last yeat stealth 1650. Razer prices are getting more reasonable
how bad is ghosting in the 120Hz screen compared to the old 60Hz?
This laptop is way expensive in my Country the is no way in Hell I'll ever buy it, it's even more expensive than Apple laptops.
Thanks for the review! I’m looking for a replacement for my MBP 13”, it will be for work and some casual gaming, nothing competitive. I’m between the 13” stealth and the 15”. I was wondering what kind of gaming the 13” can handle. Will a game like assassins creed run on it or do I have to go to the 15”?
Thanks!
It will run but you have to lower the settings to get 60+ FPS
0 second!
Thank God they changed that Shift, amiright?
Since it is a gaming machine, I disagree. Full size arrow keys are way more important during gaming than the right shift key.
did u notice any ghosting on the new screen? the old models have very bad ghosting on the 1080p panels.
Haven't noticed any yet!
the bottom screen bezel is much larger? MUCH LARGER? ..... MUCH LARGER? ..... REALY??? .... MUCH LARGER???? U CAN LAND A BOING THERE ....MUCH LARGER... heh..
How's the battery life?
Is it possible to turn this into a hackintosh? Maybe run both macos and windows? I need to upgrade from my base 2015 mbp 13 inch I’ve used for work for years but it’s starting to show its age. Im not deep in the Apple ecosystem, i just neeeeed Xcode.
First 120Hz 13.3" laptop. So my HP Envy 13 (2017) is a fake?
zephyrus g14 with 4th gen ryzen 9 says hello
who uses 6k raw footage and why lmfao!
I've owner nothing but windows laptops and 3 of them have been razers and they lasted me 2 years minimum. Their still fine today
This is only the second video ever on this laptop.
Still a fingerprint smudge mess?? Your previous version covered that well. Thx for the post.
Yes, the lid looks like a kindergarten art project where they use their hands for art.
Dayumn. Another MBP running window out of the box.
Jin Raigami exactly!
I would like to see a black razer logo on the RB 15 and not the green glowing 3 headed snake.
Damocles me to !
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?
This video is not a review. He just listed the specs. We knew nothing we couldn't check on razer's webpage. This is basically just an advertisement...and thus useless.
I want a computer that is small to take everywhere, I am looking at the Razer Blade Stealth 1650 Ti and the Asus Rog G14 which you think is better, since you have the RAZER BLADE STEALTH it is of good quality never gave you problems many comments come out negatives about Razer laptops
how’s the fan noise? I want to buy it for bmw programming and others (MAYBE gaming occasionally) I want it to be as silent as possible and battery 3-4hrs+. I’ve had a ThinkPad Gen 4 which was an awful experience.
Razer blade needs to change that logo.... 3 snake heads.... like wtf not only is it outdated it’s childish. I don’t even think about purchasing this laptop cuz the logo makes it look cheap.
actually, you will notice a massive difference between 60hz and 120hz with even the most basic uses. once you go to 120hz you'll never wanna go back to 60hz bc of how superior it is
to everyone thinking of buying this laptop, make sure you get it from best buy and get geek squad protection . they cover water damage , drops , hardware and software problems . your paying extra money but well worth it. razor blade customer service is shit.
Sorry dude but for the same price the Legion Y540 is better, better GPU and more storage, among others stuff.
Unless its a foldable laptop screen, Touch screen are useless. They are just adding the cost. Try adding the latest i9 instead. Touch screen on laptops does not make sense. Only in folding or tablet it makes sense.
I wonder if the 120hz fixes the massive ghosting issues on all previous models. The response times were horrendous and it’s a deal breaker.
Israel Alvarado I have the same concern here. Previous models just suck at screen ghosting issues and I wonder if this year’s high fresh rate screen fixes that already.
w h The g14 has a 120hz but the timing is horrendous compare to the g15.
Razer, you’ve got your first customer for the new stealth
And only
@@iamboring159 chill
when looking at the price AMD's options seem better bang for the buck
Does the 4k screen also have 120hz?
Asus g14 is 300 bucks cheaper and has a RTX 2060 with a cpu that toasts the whole Intel desktop and mobile Consumer line up(4900hs) and only 200gr heavier COL
Definitely a very different type of laptop. This is an Ultrabook so if priority is on portability you'd look at this if you just wanted power for money the G14 is a good option
I’d also think about the quality of the display vs. comparing the basic specs. Though both have 120hz now, it’s looking like Razer’s offering in this regard may be better. We’ll see once it’s reviewed
And a build quality that makes $400 laptops look like close relatives, the blade stealth is THE laptop for someone who actually goes places because it's "built like a tank". The G14 is neat as the premier portable gaming laptop, but it isn't the gaming ultrabook/ultraportable given it's reliance on a brick and build quality.
TBH,I might buy
You were on my Google newsfeed
FUCK
I just got the 1650 version and now I feel terrible.
It's very difficult to sort through all the available models on the official Razer site. And it looks like if a buyer is not careful, they'll accidentally select the 2019 models instead.
Could you break down all the available models for us? The 13" Razer Blade subtitled 'Stealth' (refreshed in 2020) is out now for purchase? But the 15" Razer Blade (coming May 2020) are not yet released right?
And there seems to also be discussion between base and advanced models. But Razer doesn't designate which one the user is looking at on their customization/configuration page.
I am getting the Surface Laptop 4 Ryzen 7 over this device. Will it be a good decision?
are you happy with ur choice? i also got the surface laptop 4
@@scuffhoodie5499 yep! I really love my SL4 and it's been a very reliable machine for the past year.
third
I am planning on getting a new computer which I will dedicate for gaming but also college and I was wondering on whether it is smarter to the iris plus graphics and a core (I am not sure if I could get the core straight away) or get the 1650 graphics (knowing I will definitely get a better graphics card on the core eventually). What do u think I should do?
Core as in the core v2 with the eGPU
Tupac eating chili if you really want the stealth, go for iris (better battery) and an epu. Focus on studying instead of gaming lol
I have 2018 one and they used bad quality BYD battery and bloated within 12 months. I changed twice because of that problem.
how is it that a quad core like that still struggle with 4K, is there a Windows laptop that can handle your video editing on the go?
How RBS would be if they put Ryzen 4000u instead of intel CPU? I predict much-much better product.
I just don't understand the concept of saying "in my opinion". If you are reviewing it then Ofcourse it's your opinion. It just sounds silly saying it in your own video, I have seen so many people using this sentence.
I hope all future models have a similar low profile logo.
I need it
Is GTX 1650 any better than GTX 1070 or 1080 ? As I have option to go for razer blade 15 GTX 1070 and blade pro 17 with GTX 1080
Interesting, how would it do if it had that AMD CPU.
Likely better performance with the only real downside being no Thunderbolt 3 support.
@PhyniqueX Yes, but it wouldn't have Thunderbolt 3 support if it was using an AMD CPU.
How is the response time on the 2020 version? The 2019 was horrible to see ghosting.
Let's hope there's a white version of this laptop.
I know 16:9 is standard for gaming but 16:10 would have been nice since the bottom bezel is a giant black bar anyway
looking to grab one of these, would you recommend the 2020 version or older 2019?
I would recommend (if ur getting it for gaming) the Asus Zepyrus G14. It has better specs and costs less.
Edit or the G15 or MSI gs-66
definitely the new one. I have the old one and the ghosting on this display is atrocious. Impossible to game, unless you connect an external screen.
I'd go with the newer one if you can afford 👍
given razer's terrible track record with quality control and customer care, don't be surprised to find yourself sending it right back
I hear a lot of negative things about razor from people on UA-cam. Have u had any issues with the 2020 version?
I have texted you on insta to give you the face recognition for the Moto stylus.
Save some money and get a G14 !
does the audio sound kid of wired to anyone?
I just bought a late 2019 razer stealth for $1200 used two weeks ago, but idk if it is worth the upgrade to a new Razer stealth
I got one about a month ago but I'm returning it and picking this one up because I use a core x eGPU and the CPU in the 2019 version seems to throttle down to 15w instead of 25w and limits the power of the eGPU. The new model says it runs at 25w
upgrade and give me your old one...lmao
me too, bought one for 1200 couple weeks ago. I'm keeping it; not worth upgrading for gddr6 only. The cpu you can make run at 25 watts by unlocking the bios and the faster refresh is just gonna be a bigger hit on battery, so basically the only true upgrade of the new one is the gddr6...not worth like 600 bucks more
