Razer Blade Stealth (2018) review: Near-perfection has its price
Source: Good Gear Guide Archive.org version
It’s a great machine, though. Peerless, when it comes to the actual design itself. It’s a real pleasure to use the Blade Stealth, be it on a plane or just at home lounging on the couch. Durable enough to feel rugged and portable, but lightweight enough to make it worth carrying, I really love it.

For those of you who can get past the input device issues, the Razer Blade Stealth is a great option. For the rest of us, I hope that Razer takes some of their peripheral pedigree into the next generation of Blade Stealth notebooks and fixes the issues to create a truly desirable product.

90% Razer Blade Stealth & Razer Core V2 Review
Source: Techspot Archive.org version
My thoughts on the Blade Stealth have not changed since last time I reviewed this laptop: I like it a lot. The build quality is excellent and complemented well by the RGB keyboard and trackpad. The high resolution display and is good, bezel size is good. It’s also great to see the improved performance the Core i7-8550U provides, and unlike some other laptops I’ve reviewed, Razer’s cooling solution can keep the 15W CPU performing as expected.

The Razer Blade Stealth packs a powerful 8th-gen processor and a QHD display into a very sleek frame, but the battery life is still short.
