Notes:
- Since filming, Razer dropped the price of this laptop from $2000 to $1500, and on Amazon (link above) it's actually down to $1400 in the US. Of course that does make it a lot more attractive if you want something small that can also game.
- You might also find my comparison between the Razer Blade (GTX 1650 / 60Hz version) and the Dell XPS 13 interesting: • Clash of the Tiny Tita...
- Questions? Not all test results make it into the video to avoid clutter, so just ask if anything is unclear!

*UPDATE!* After filming this, Razer dropped the price from *$2000* to *$1500* in the US (It's still 1900€ here), and on Amazon it's even down to *$1400* (link: amzn.to/2EoYqpS ) Obviously that makes this Blade 13 considerably better value.
I bought it on Sunday, loving it so far! I was able to get it for $1299 by price matching at best buy.
Colton C where did you price match? Its 1499 everywhere
It really needs to be around $1200-1400 to justify what it is, anything more is just overcharging.
People will talk about quality and such but truth is every laptop should be that way and have that same quality, there comes a point in time where the difference in materials is marginal at best, an example is plastics are actually starting to exceed cost wise what a metal chassis would, years ago I talked to PC case manufacturers about the cost of Plastics versus Aluminum versus Steel, where injection molding was starting to cost as much as if they used metal anyways, it became the same with Tempered Glass versus Acrylic, the glass ended up being cheaper due to the frail nature of acrylics scratching and cracking due to manufacturing and material handling as well as Tooling costs, and in some ways easier to recycle with less environmental impact.
One of the best product reviews I’ve seen... and I’ve been watching TH-cam tech since 2008! Thank you!
Thank you for the great review! Best buy has them open box-excellent certified for under 1100 and just had to get one!!
Great video as always, it would be even greater if you could add webcam and integrated mic footage to your laptop reviews 😀
I bought this version, absolutely love it. Ended up getting it for $1300 from Best Buy!
I really like the simplicity of the Razer Blade Stealth 13. The display performance is what I'm looking forward with this laptop! Very detail and informative as always! Great Job guys!

In other words, it's bloody ridiculously expensive but a lovely, elegant piece of kit. I'm happy that I managed to drop on a 2nd hand one that looked as good as new for £750 here in the UK. I use a Razer Barracuda X wireless headset and a Razer Atheris wireless mouse with it for a very minimalistic and sleek setup.
Love all metal made. I don't mine because metal does feel great to the touch of premium! Nice! Love the review!
Thanks!
Blades are very expensive but its very much worthy it looks nice classy and small. Nada and Stephen guys keep on releasing lovely review videos as this. Love From Ronnie :) Guys your videos help me up to cope up with newly released things and it helps to learn many things about gigs thank you.
Thanks Ronnie, as always :D
A bezel less display on this will look amazing
Just purchased for my significant other on Best Buy (open box excellent) for just over $1200. Will arrive early next week so hopefully it'll fit her exact use case (light gaming in a small form factor, with an excellent screen)
That's a nice present 😁 enjoy it!
Loved the video Nada 😊
Thank you! 😁
Actually very very nice review :')
Thanks for the review Nada, excellent as always. 😁👍
I was tossing up between the Stealth 13 and the Asus G14, but since the availability of both is not good in Australia I went with the Aorus 15G and its excellent keyboard.
Thank you! And yeah i see availability is an issue in many places, at least for the G14 :-/ But, enjoy the Aorus :D
Years ago, I used to see AMD on a laptop and just walked away, didn't even bother reviewing the rest of the machine. I can't believe I am doing that to Intel now.
Awesome as always!
Thanks! :D
I got an extra job just to buy this laptop. I just ordered it 2 hours ago, I'm super excited.
I just bought this from BestBuy tonight open box fair condition. Went into the store to check it out before purchase and it looked mint, no scratches or anything, and with all accessories. Final price was $1022!
Just found an open box one in satisfactory condition for 850 debating on taking the ride to go check it out.
@@UMK3HumanSmokeUMK3 check it out and see how it looks like, before buying.
@@regieds how are you liking it? Any problems with thermals?
i bought this at best buy open box for 1,200. I game occassionally so the zephyrus g14 does not interest me. happy razer owner.
Cool. Have you had any problems since?
@@ahlixemus8903 nope, the battery life is a little bit dissapointing but everything else is great.
@@josh2676 now got any problems since? lol
@@josh2676 and now ?
@@snickersmachtdichgeilqdh5394 no problems. still dissapointed with the battery life tho lol
such an amazing content. why so little likes and views? ((
Aye Yo Nada. Hope you well. Good review. Wanted to know, what's the specs of your Pc in the background?
Hi, and thanks! I just changed my background PC actually from a Threadripper 2990WX to an Intel Core i9-10900K (I don't really use that PC for editting so the threadripper now has another purpose), RTX 2080 Ti Aorus Xtreme (for the RGB), 360mm Aorus AIO cooler, 32GB of memory, and a bunch of SSDs.
Techtesters pcmasterrace gamer. I can see you know what you are talking about for sure in your reviews now without it being scripted to you
Hi nada, great video just wanted to know wether you’re going to do a review on the aorus 15g
Thank you! I'm actually trying to get some Aorus laptops over, but no luck yet.
*checks amazon price*
Wallet: don't even think about it
And that's after it got 600$ cheaper :D
@@TechTesters Mam, What's The Price After The $600 Deduction?
DEVANSH £1,200
Great video, Nada
Thank you!
You can get the model with the 120hz panel at Microsoft for $1399. Bit cheaper than amazon.
Would this be ok for VFX? I understand it's not powerful but I really need that small factor
Nice review!
Thank you!
Better to take the 120hz or the touch oled ?
Thank you!
I was going to build a pc but am worries about having a good laptop for school and this with a thunderbolt monitor + peripherals fits the build, anyonw else have suggestions on what I should do?
I heard there is ghosting on this screen, why was it not mentioned in this video?
hey nada,
if i dont want to use the keybaord for gaming.. is there controller for the razer i can use instead of playing on the key board and mouse?
i want a razer laptop for gaming ?
just like for play station 5 or x box 1x?
Hi there , love your reviews! I wanted your opinion on getting this stealth 13 with the dedicated gpu compared to getting the xps 13 . Both will have the same i7 cpu but the xps will have the inferior intel iris plus gpu , after the razer dropped in price they are now the same price . I won't be playing any games on the laptop , only occasionally light gaming (not AAA games) but at the same time I want the laptop to last as long as possible thats why I thought about picking up the stealth 13 as it has a dedicated gpu. Thank you
Hi! I really don't think the dedicated GPU will really make it significantly better in non-gaming in a couple of years, at least not before you want to replace either laptop anyway (or the chances of one dying). But if you play even light games? The Razer Blade is definitely faster. Something like LoL will be fine forever basically, but other games like Minecraft will already really benefit.
So it's a choice that depends on your gaming demands really, not on your non-gaming ones.
@@TechTesters Hello ,Thank you for your reply ! I probably will rarely play games on it , so that in that case would you recommend the xps 13 over it ?
@@mohamedemarah9379 that's what she said.
'New faster panel is better overall' yeah if you're ok with that abysmal response time and ghosting.
Can you hear the fan noise during office work ?
if u buy a game how do u get games from the laptop? i never own a gaming laptop?
This is a terrific laptop, but sadly released at the wrong time. The G14 overshadows it on everything except the Windows hello camera. The new lower price makes it more appealing though. Thank you for the review.
Yeah, that's what it feels like right? It's such a lovely machine, but it's also a stuck between some premium office laptops, and some faster gaming options that just aren't that much bigger. It's not a completely fair comparison with larger models, but if you really love gaming, is 300 grams more _really_ an issue?
Then again, every time I use this I do really like it. Hard choices :P
Abusolutely, no becasue of the 11th gen intel, mx450(the gtx1650maxmaxQ) and rtx3000 series.
1660ti with i5 10300h or gtx 1650 ti with i7 10700h?
Is there any information available regarding the response time of the display panel?
I dont have the tools, sorry. It's not amazing anyway, but it's definitely noticably faster than the previous 60hz unit in fast games.
Man that looks smaller than my notebook in which I'm taking down!!😂 #onlineclasses
Is a video in aorus 15g or alienware m15 r3 comin??? BTW ❤️ ur videos x3000
Thank you! But no ETA on Aorus 15G or anything Alienware atm
They should give option of 1660 ti or 2060 max q option
Thats make it a perfect -
Aesthetic Portable Gaming Laptop 😁
razer didnt do that for a pretty good reason
can u watch youtube/netflix on the laptop?
@7:42 the thermal testing results aren't realistic. There is only a "Gaming" mode, not a "Graphics Performance" mode as stated in the video. For people who buy this nice little gaming ultrabook, they should be prepared for hitting 100 degrees when gaming (with the Gaming mode.. with "balanced" = around 80 degrees). The intel i7 does not throttle, so it keeps the performance... but AVG 79 degrees as in this video isn't realistic. (greetings from an owner of this Razer Blade 13)
what is that desktop on your desk?
if i pair this with an external gpu would it be good enough for vr?
I'd guess so, but I don't do VR so Im really not sure.
this video is a bit late. 11th gen razers will be available by the end of this year. early next year at most.
Is this good for gta 5 ?
If only it had a 16:10 screen for a smaller bottom bezel it would have been perfect.
That would be 👌
I dont know whats better.. na dell thin bezel or this... I want the portss and everythingg
I have a video comparing the Blade to the XPS 13. It's the GTX 1650 / 60Hz Blade, but most points remain the same!
Could you please review the 2020 acer helios 300?
If I manage to get my hands on one :P
Is this handling gta 5 easy?
If razer just try the Ryzen 4000 HS series or the 5000 series (early 2021), this would become a better performer and a good price.
Performer yes price no since it’s Razer
@@abhigyandatta13 HAHAAHAHA yeah they are fixated on "HIGHER VALUE" instead of "BEST VALUE"
Is there anything out there that's similar to this in size and volume but significantly (a lot!) cheaper, that can do a tiny bit of lightweight gaming? Razer's Stealth machine is all very nice and looks great but the price point leaves a lot to be desired. I'm still running my Alienware M11x R3 to this day because it got the value/performance ratio right when I stumped up the cash for it even if nowadays it does sound like a hairdryer under load and is essentially a glorified web browser!
I don't think so, the main real alternative that comes to mind is the G14, bit bigger, usually cheaper, especially with a GTX 1650. Alternatively you can look at AMD Ryzen 4000 laptops without a GPU, for example the Acer Swift 3 (14") and Xiaomi Redmibook 16, both of which I have a video on. I know the Xiaomi is a 16", but it still shows that with those Ryzen CPUs and without a dedicated GPU like this GTX 1650 Ti, you can still play some lighter games well.
The asus g14 with 4800hs and 1660ti maxq most probably beats this in price and performance
@@TechTesters Appreciate the reply, thanks! :)
@@DioDurant I'll take a peek, thanks for the info!
USD $800 or 2,000 Euros? That's was big difference.
It's not really a bad Portable, I've alredady found it online in 578 Euros here in Germany. But I find the Intel Core i5 9300HF paired with the 1650 more interesting, this processor seems much better... and the price.
Wait, you've seen a Blade 13 for under 600 EUR? That would be an amazing deal at any spec, just as a solid work/school laptop.
It's a shame they did not use the 10710u
I need a laptop to work in After Effects and Cinema 4d and gaming, I am considering (Razer Blade 15 Base Edition GeForce RTX 2060), (Zephyrus M15 GeForce RTX 2060), (Zephyrus G15 GeForce RTX 2060 Ryzen 7 4800HS) what do you think would be better for me?
If you're really serious about your creative workflow, I think an M15 with 4K panel makes the most sense. Or a Blade 15 with 4K panel. More so than a fast panel just for games right?
If you can ignore the 120 Hz refresh rate, then even the base G14 model which comes with Ryzen 7 4800HS and GTX 1650 GDDR6 version, selling between $1000 to $1100, is a way way better choice than this Razer Blade Stealth. Blade may look a bit cooler and having slightly better build but the performance difference, especially in CPU area, is so enormous between 4800HS and 1065G7, I won't even consider Stealth. Razer should release a model with Ryzen 7 4800U, which as per the latest reviews (Yoga or Ideapad Slim 7), can actually perform within 15% range of 8 Core i7-10875H.
Can this gaming laptop play graphic intense games like Red Dead Redemption 2, GTA??
I'm sure it'll run gta. Rdr I'm not sure though, maybe at low settings?
This is so strange to me. 1400 bucks for a laptop that has the same specs as an ASUS sitting at $879 at Best Buy right now. Sure it might have a metal construction, sure it might feel more premium, but is that *really* worth $600? I don't know guys, I'm just not feeling it.
Which Asus are you talking about exactly?
Would you recommend this or the Asus G14?
depends on which one you can buy for which price. I think if you're serious about gaming and you game a lot, AAA games especially, the G14 with RTX 2060 makes more sense. If you care more about it being super compact, and only play lighter games (or not as often), this can make sense.
A great laptop for everyday use? I don't know how far Razer has come from their late 2016's models with barbeque dual core Kaby Lake CPU's to this, but I used that for everyday use with a GTX 1070 plugged in a Razer Core and the thermals were so hot, the chasis protruded from the screws with barely a year of "everyday use". My next laptop was the Alienware 13 R3 and that made me regret I went for an ultra-light + eGPU setup (luclily, the 13 has a TB3 port and has 4 pcie lanes too).
Good luck also getting help with Razer's tech support if something goes wrong. Dell is light years ahead of Razer with post sales.
I game on a proper rig now and settled for a cheap HP Envy for work, thanks to Covid19.
I never had the older model, but I have a chapter on thermals and they're actually much better than on 99% of laptops.
We will not buy it because intel 😂 (we want AMD 4000 series Processor ) ❤️
This with a Ryzen HS would be cool :D
I mean at least use the i7-10710U instead of this quad core Ice Lake chip. Why bother with Iris Plus graphics if there is going to be the 1650 Ti Max Q instead? I believe the 2 extra cores will actually boost performance in games rather than having a better but wholly unused iGPU sitting inside the laptop doing nothing when gaming.
There's no thunderbolt 3 with AMD
@@TechTesters Yes ❤️
@@mingyi456 i need your help! You look like you really know about this. I am looking for a laptop to replace my xbox but also for school. Do you think its a good value? Its powerfull, portable and goodlooking. But i don't want to make the wrong decision.
Looks small, but generally is a great laptop.
it really is!
1400$? damn thats 100$ less than my mac and my mac sux it cant even run a game without fps reaching 40-56 *sad* ima buy this soon
Why does she talk with her head tilted to her right the entire time?
With that much money, the G14 is better for most people. If only the g14 doesn't have holes on the lid...
the price tag kills it.. i care about gaming..is all about gaming..
Pls can u sponcer me a computer plss this pandamic has killed my Income a second hand Orr cheap pc that u don't use could do pls help
Nice nice nice!

i cant afford this
1:22 Nah, you can now get this exact model for $1499 on amazon.
I added that to both the description and the pinned comment :). 1399$ even.
All the fingerprints
For sure :D
Wondered how to make a lemon cake? Here you go, enjoy
Ingredients:
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar, divided
4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature
1/3 cup grated lemon zest (6 to 8 large lemons)
3 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice, divided
3/4 cup buttermilk, at room temperature
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
For the glaze:
2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
3 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour 2 (8 1/2 by 4 1/4 by 2 1/2-inch) loaf pans. You may also line the bottom with parchment paper, if desired.
Cream the butter and 2 cups granulated sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer on medium speed, add the eggs, 1 at a time, and the lemon zest.
Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. In another bowl, combine 1/4 cup lemon juice, the buttermilk, and vanilla. Add the flour and buttermilk mixtures alternately to the batter, beginning and ending with the flour. Divide the batter evenly between the pans, smooth the tops, and bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until a cake tester comes out clean.
Combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 1/2 cup lemon juice in a small saucepan and cook over low heat until the sugar dissolves. When the cakes are done, allow to cool for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and set them on a rack set over a tray or sheet pan; spoon the lemon syrup over them. Allow the cakes to cool completely.
For the glaze, combine the confectioners' sugar and the lemon juice in a bowl, mixing with a wire whisk until smooth. Pour over the tops of the cakes and allow the glaze to drizzle down the sides.
Have a wonderful day
It's a tech channel, not a baking channel.
