it's IFA 2019 and razer has announced what it's calling the world's first-ever
gaming ultrabook the Razer Blade stealth 13 now obviously we've had blade stealth
13s before but this is an updated model that actually has a gtx graphics card
packed inside this teeny little chassis let's take a look so this is the new
blade stealth 13 which has an updated design for late 2019 with a few little
tweaks around but basically the main thing is there's now an NVIDIA GTX 1650
packed inside now that's a big step up we've seen ultra books with graphics
cards built in before the Blade Stealth 13 actually used to have the MX 150 in and
you can get a huawei mate book with an mx250 in but this is as far as i'm aware
the first like slim profile 13-inch laptop this managed to pack a GTX sort
of proper gaming graphics card in performance wise you're getting quite a
lot of bang for your buck based on what Razer says they say you
can run Forza horizon 4 at sort of high detail Full HD and get a stable 60
frames per second I've been seeing a little bit of Wolfenstein Youngblood
running out the sort of mid settings but again Full HD stable 60 frames per
second so this isn't gonna be like an absolute top-line gaming powerhouse there's
obviously no rtx for ray-tracing you're not gonna play everything on Ultra but
if you want to have something that is this lightweight and this portable and
will get you respectable gaming performance right now unlike some fairly
challenging games yeah this is going to do it so what have you got other than
that GTX there's a 10th gen Intel Ice Lake quad core Core i7 CPU that's in
every model same with 16 gigabytes of RAM you get that in every model of this
so that's part of what's helping drive that really really solid performance so
there's a base model in white obviously this is the black one right here that
comes with 256 gig of storage and it doesn't have the GTX graphics card
that's just using Intel's onboard graphics though they've will sort of
amped up the power to the CPU 225 watts to help power that it's got the Irish
burst graphics so it should be decent performance but it's definitely not the
same thing if you want that GTX you basically
get two choices it's gonna come in black you don't get a choice it's only black
for the GTX model it will come with 512 gigs of storage no matter what and again
the i7 16 gig of ram but the choice you're gonna get is basically the
display as you can see here we've got the 4k model right here which is also
touch sensitive but there's a full HD non touch version honestly I mean if
your main purpose is gaming go for the full HD one because you're not
really gonna get 4k performance out of thing no matter what you want you'll
notice those like performance specs I said earlier that was all based on
running at full HD like if you try and end this thing up to 4k it is gonna
stuff that it is gonna struggle so before came on there's probably only
worth it if you really want that touch sensitivity because that's not packed
into the full HD model price obviously is also going to vary the base white
model is one and a half thousand pounds or dollars then goes to a 1800 for the
mid-range one the GTX with a full HD display and two thousand if you want to
go all the way up to the 4k so I'm not sure that $200 £200 jump for 4k is
probably worth it since you'll probably want to scale down to full HD every time
you use it for gaming as you can see from the rest of it this is an ultrabook
it isn't the thinnest or lightest in the world it's a half a millimeter thicker
than the previous blade 13 and at one point three kilos it's definitely not as
light as some competitors but you know what like I'm happy sort of thrown in
around the bit like it is lightweight I would I'm someone who really cares about
using a lightweight laptops and I would be very happy with this one and ports
are okay we're getting us PC USB a headphone jack on that side and USB C an
a on this side USB C for charging obviously no HDMI no SD card reader but
it's an ultrabook I wouldn't really expect to see that
stuff in here anyway I mean I still have quite a lot of questions about the
performance we're gonna see how this will really match those numbers Razer is
saying what the heating is going to be like I mean you can see this sort of a
fan outlet stuff here but how they really gonna keep that GTX card cool and
such a small body so once I get one in I'm gonna be really testing that the
base models are out in September the high spec black ones with the GTX there
October so stay tuned over the next couple months
hopefully we're gonna get a GTX model in and put it through its paces like and
subscribe stay tuned for the rest of our IFA content we're going to see a few
more things while we're out here in Berlin this year
thanks very much guys
