The irony of saying "I can't justify spending that much money on a laptop that is good but not as powerful as it could be" when the basis of the discussion was switching from Macbook to a Windows Laptop
Milkysaurus windows can do more amounts things
MacBooks does the things it does, better than most.
Which is why people who love windows, still use macs to edit videos
@@charleskim6711 Jesus, you just sound like a pathetic sheep. "MacBooks does the things it does, better than most.
". That is only an opinion used by literal sheep that cant gives arguments.
Gecko lol okay,
If you don’t think that MacBooks do less than windows
But little things they do they do it better, than you’re just lying to yourself. 😂
If you think one OS is 100% better than the other
YOURE THE SHEEP fool haha
@@charleskim6711 Yikes. You fanboys are just sad. It's just a computer. You people act like the S.S. Grow up, child.
Gecko whatever you say,
I have android, and a windows desktop and laptop
And a MacBook from work
But I’m a sheep right? Cuz apparently I only use apple
Idiot, grow up
I’m not an apple sheep, you’re just an apple hater.
Austin is turning into his dad.
😅
@@austinevans Hi dad
Broooooo
I couldn't agree more.
This dude actually managed to get a reply from Austin himself. 😁😁😁😁😁😁
-Likes Matte Black Macs
-Like Black
-Use Windows as Light Mode
These argument are like the voices in my head when I'm buying things
"Hey Guys, this is Austin" turned into "Hello and welcome!"
The weirdest thing is I can still hear him saying this is Austin
The mustache is back. Never thought I would see the day
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!**
Depends what model you get and also those laptops are on all day running at max, your pc will not be running for 20 hours a day at max.
@@Gabzilla19 Why would a display model be running at max all day?
@@MrProstateCancer slip of the tongue, they wouldnt be running at max i just meant that they would be running all 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
Day 3 of petitioning for Austin to bring back “Hey guys, this is Austin”
Thank god it stopped
It was supposed to be a part of the battle pass...
CRG lol
The angle of Austin's microphone really grinds my gears!
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
But does it have “blast processing” ?
"Level of quality" didnt all ltt ones broke down very fast
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.
What about the cursor jumping when the thin aluminum around the touchpad flexes?
*HELP!* I wanted a light 13' formfactor such as the HP Spectre X360 - Yet, realized Davinci Resolve needs a dedicated GPU [that the X360 lacks].
Problem with the Razer Blade [to consider it as an alternative] is:
*1. How bulky/ heavy is it's charger? It probably won't be fun to travel with abroad huh? [the X360's is tiny]*
*2. Owning a few Razer mice which fail each 3 years- I wonder how long this laptop stays alive without coil whines/ other malfunctions [my previous X360 lasted 5 years].*
Any thoughts?
Could you make a quick compare to the 2019.model?
How is the response time of the 120hz screen? Is it the same as the one in the g14 screen which is 20ms+(similar to the first gen zephyrus/acer triton 700)?
Just FYI, Austin, if you point that microphone towards your mouth a little bit more, you get a little less reverb from your room
how bad is ghosting in the 120Hz screen compared to the old 60Hz?
How long does the razor blade last? Like how many years before it starts running slow.
Matt: Stable, Clear Audio
Austin: Hello and welcome welcome welcome welcome.....
fr, I have like zero budget and even I don't have echo...
“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.
Oh, hi Mark By all means, please go on and tell me how your superhero eyes discern between 325 and 400 PPI from that distance
@@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.
Oh, hi Mark I have no interest in a fight. I’m sorry if I gave you that impression. Mea culpa
What do you guys think about the new xbox cyberpunk edition controller???
What happened to razer blade 15 advanced 2020 and studio 2020?
I’m coming from the XPS and don’t have much knowledge on the razors.. and I’m confused .. I almost bought a 15 that would’ve been 2300 out the door but after seeing some videos I’m wondering ... is the 2020 15 model out yet .. or was that for the 2019? O confused
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?
Looking at g14 vs the blade stealth, what do you have to say about the g14 reported ghosting and slow response times?
Im trying to find a sub-$1000 13 inch thin gaming laptop that can still run games, and the razer was on my list, but it jumped in price. Does anybody know a similar laptop on amazon?
Did anyone notice the racing wheel behind Austin.... the one that he used in broke vs pro
Did you notice in a ghosting on the 1080P 120hz display?
Review a afthershock apex 15 lite laptops I would really want to see your judgment for the laptop
The screws fall out like the previous models ?
These are the exact two options (Stealth vs Zephyrus G14) that I'm currently weighing out. Thanks for putting the comparison in this!
Oh not only linus is getting a beard
they finally listened to dave2d on the shift key issue lol
Hamza Husain and Linus Tech Tips
And Linus
Dude, everyone complained, dont try to pin it on individuals
@@ferret1252 Now I cant watch everyone's complains can I? Dweeb.
@@Meeruez well, your saying it like it was just dave2d, even if you didnt see others, you could use common sence
Ugh.. That 13" screen looks tiny... 16x9 screens need to die.
I love 13" screens, it's honestly the perfect size to constantly carry around and use no farther that 2' from my face
Get some sound foam Austin, that echo lol, and I see that logic album 👀
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?
How's the battery life so far compared to the previous model?
So asus zephyrus g14 vs razer blade ??
Which one to buy???
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.
Is it worth updating from 1650 to 1650 TI? It's like a $400 difference in Canada.
Its called the Razer Blade because it shreds your wallet to bits
Bazinga
Seems 'bout right
Ba Dum Tss
How abt SSD? Can’t be upgraded to 1 TB??
Does the 120hz have faster response times? The previous razerblade was bad where you can notice ghosting. That was a deal breaker.
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.
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.
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.
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?
What is the response time of the screen?
Is the 1650Ti the regular version or the Max-Q one?
Can you confirm they are not using bad quality BYD battery anymore? I have my 2018 battery changed twice.
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
Last time I was this early was 15 min ago on RLL's video
so how is the heating problem?
Does this mean they fixed the keyboard on the 13 inch model?
I don't understand how razers design is not meeting compatible, is the green usb port too much? or is it that it has usb ports at all LOL
Has matt tried the Huawei matebook pro? Looks exactly like a macbook
can u try the Eluktronics max 15 in the 2020 convert game launch
I have razer blade stealth MX150. Still really happy with my decision over this laptop.
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.
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
Would be into this if not for the huge bezels on the Razer Blade Stealth :( particularly the bottom bezels
what happened to microsoft surface laptop???
Was this the 13’ pr 15’?
What’s bothering me is the *light* theme on the razer blade stealth that Matt chose
How's the battery life going to be though?
Is the Xiaomi Notebook pro competition for the MacBook?
Same. Hardcore mac user since 2007. Blade or zephyrus duo will finally make me switch back.
Subscribed.Good luck with your channel.
Yeah I'm absolutely in love with my Blade Stealth 13 Mercury Edition 😬
Is it Still Good?
@@RickSanchez-rc1rg Yeah it’s pretty powerful for my usage and battery life is amazing, lasts me all workday. 16gb ram, i7 1065G7.
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
What battery life are you getting??
How is the battery life on this
wtas the background music at 8:20??
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.
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 ?
@@CRiSTOBALLERR 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.
Thanks for being the only source, showing the Razer stealth next to the zephyrus g14 for comparison. *Like
I love the ending! Very concise!
whats the name of the game he played at 4:04 ?
Just when I was looking for a new video on the same topic , bam 💥
I wish he would’ve elaborated on how it feels on things like photoshop it felt to vague to me
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
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.
Thunderbolt 3 is the main selling point. I was using a budget PC from ~2009, I picked up a 2019 RB15 and a TB3 dock to replace it. I can play games when at home but still have something powerful for traveling. It's def pricey, but for me it was worth it.
what's the music at 6:08
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.
Yoda « trash laptops » haha you just poor to buy them so you just come and trashtalk, 0 reason 0 credibility, lmao get out of there 🧏🏻♂️
@@m4kill934 Lol okay 'Mehdi'
Your full of shit you don't even own a razer laptop.
Yoda hahaha my poor guy, what a pity 🤣🤣🤣
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.
I love the way he says processor
Got my first Blade 15 and it's beyond amazing, that build is not joke man.
You can see the racing wheel setup from the Broke vs Pro setup video in the background
Build a PC, u can get more for less
Zephyrus g14?
Really curious how the transition was for that guy. I mean Evan talks about Photoshop and so. Photoshop seems to run better on Windows these days. Im more interested in the switch of the OS. Im so hate the OS, takes way to much keeping running properly, fills itself with BS. Keeps eating GB of storage??? Is that still an issue with Windows by the way?
I thought this stealth was a power beast, unless his mac is a way more powerful matching. But I guess the Stealth should compete pretty good with his mac. WHy did he even get a small laptop if he still needs to switch? Sounds like he would be better of with a Razor 15 or G14 I think.
the ASUS g14 is similarly priced but it has more power but just a bit thicker..
Austin and matt : switching mac to windows to mac to windows to mac
Me : can't switch from android 4.1
Wait. Can't you use Thunderbolt on AMD???
What about the MSI GS66?
Thanks guys! Kept finding myself agreeing with Matt's opinions. Especially having a gaming laptop that doesn't look like a gaming laptop.
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
This or informational videos about random stuff. I’d take this any day.
It is.
What game is that? I am interested. Please let me know someone!
Reverb is a bit much. Maybe use the room natural echo if that's your thing?
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
