70% Razer Blade Stealth 13 (2020) review
Source: Laptop Mag Archive.org version
For the gamer who has work to do, accept no substitutes. The Razer Blade Stealth 13 has a lot to offer with its Nvidia GPU and Intel CPU. It allows you to work and play (within reason) without sacrificing that beautiful, lightweight chassis. However, for $1,699, there are a lot of sacrifices to be made in the name of that discrete GPU, including below-average battery life, middling overall performance and chassis that’s hot in looks and feel.

With the improvements to the design from last year, faster CPU and 120 Hz display, I think Razer finally nailed it with this 2020 Stealth 13. This is probably the best performing laptop at this size and weight class that you could possibly ask for, but you have to be willing to pay extra for it.

80% Razer Blade Stealth (2020) review: A tiny gaming laptop with a big price
Source: PC World Archive.org version
The 13-inch Razer Blade Stealth is both a fantastic work machine and a solid gaming machine—if you can ignore that it costs more than comparable machines in both categories. The 15-inch Blade fills nearly the same role, and for cheaper. Just buy a bigger bag.

I loved my time with the Razer Blade Stealth, as I’ve loved the ones that came before. But this time I’ve struggled to pin down the intended audience. Taken in a vacuum, the Blade Stealth’s both a fantastic work machine and a solid gaming machine—if you can ignore that it costs more than comparable machines in both categories.

80% Razer Blade Stealth 13 (2020) Ultrabook Review

It is pricey but you’re getting a very solid and absolutely tiny bit of kit here that stands tall. If you’re purely after a gaming beast then look elsewhere, get a big chunky desktop replacement for the same price and you’ll love it… but that’s not what the Stealth 13 is trying to be, it’s trying to be the stealthiest one in the room and personally, we think it’s achieved that.

Razer Blade Stealth 13 Review from a MacBook user's POV
Source: Max Tech Archive.org version
The Razer Blade Stealth 13 packs an Nvidia GTX 1650 TI graphics card which is really impressive for how portable this ultrabook is! It also comes with a new 10th-Gen Intel i7 quad-core CPU, so it definitely has a lot of performance. In this video, I take a look at the new Blade Stealth from an Apple user's perspective to see what I like and dislike about this new laptop. I compare a few things about it to Apple's 2020 13" MacBook Pro with Four Thunderbolt 3 ports which is priced at $1800.

2020 Razer Blade Stealth - The "MacBook Pro" for Gamers?
Source: Max Tech Archive.org version
The 2020 Razer Blade Stealth features the new Nvidia GTX 1650 TI Max-Q dedicated graphics card, so it packs more graphics power than ever before into a thin and light laptop! The design of this laptop is excellent, with the all-aluminum build, excellent keyboard, quite loud speakers and decent trackpad. The display, however, is great! The only downside is the bottom chin which might not be a huge deal to you.

Comment

Model:

The Razer Blade Stealth 2020 seems to be a great compromise for those seeking a classy, ultraportable laptop that offers the ability to game during downtime. The overall design of the Razer Blade Stealth has remained untouched since 2019. The device still carries the slender, black aluminium frame like the original. One key difference has to be the RGB lighting that is situated just beneath the keyboard. It can be customized based on the user’s preference with the superb Razer Synapse software. Razer’s more modest approach is evident in the lid’s logo, which has replaced the luminous green colouring to a stencil outline alternative.

Stealth definitely flaunts a simplistic look that would never appear to be out of place, even in an office setting. The device looks rather modern, even though the razor-thin bezel that surrounds the screen does not reach the bottom of the panel. Another change to the design front that has been carried through can be found on the keyboard. The company has definitely widened the size of the right-sided Shift key compared to the 2019 version. However, due to this shift, the ‘up’ and ‘down’ arrow keys have been squashed down in size.

In terms of its connectivity, the Stealth 2020 has been equipped with a Thunderbolt 3 port, USB Type-A and a headphone jack. The latter is definitely great news for wired headphone users. As far as the performance is concerned, the Razer Blade Stealth 2020 has been equipped with an Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor along with the new GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q GPU. While this certainly is not one of the most powerful mobile GPUs on the market, it appears to offer decent Full-HD performance, while also keeping the size and cost down. Basic tasks such as web browsing and video streaming can be achieved with nippy speeds, even when there are multiple tabs being opened at the same time. The device comes with 16 GB of RAM along with 512 GB of storage.

The cooling system of the device has not been changed from the 2019 GeForce SKU. When gaming, the fan noise was actually found to be louder, at almost 43 dB compared to 38 dB on last year’s model. However, it should be noted that there is a more demanding 25W CPU to cool this time around. As for the battery life, it would take about 1.5 hours to recharge the device from empty to full capacity. The runtimes are closer to the 2019 Blade Stealth GTX 1650 Max-Q compared to the longer lasting 2018 MX150 version. However, the battery percentage was found not to drop while gaming, as opposed to the 2018 model. While there was a lot disappointment with the 2019 version, the 2020 version has addressed those concerns upfront to be the fastest Blade Stealth one can find. But the choice of owning one is still very subjective, depending on a users’ choice and need.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q: Mid range dedicated graphics card for laptops that uses a Turing TU117 chip without raytracing and Tensor cores. Runs at reduced clock speeds compared to a laptop GTX 1650 Ti to achieve a much lower power consumption (35 versus 50 - 80 Watt).

With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.

i7-1065G7: Ice Lake-based quad-core processor for thin and light laptops. The four cores are clocked at 1.3 GHz to 3.9 GHz and should offer 18% more IPC (instructions per clock) than the previous generations (and therefore partly close the clock speed gap). Produced on first-gen 10 nm Intel process.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.

The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.

Razer: Razer USA Ltd. is a US hardware manufacturer founded in 1998. The focus is on gaming devices as well as accessories, traditionally computer mice and mouse pads. The products are often named after mythical creatures or animals. However, Razer laptops are also offered under the series name "Blade". Razer has also released a VOIP software called Razer Comms.

80%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
