T

he Razer Blade Stealth was originally introduced as a non-gaming

alternative for those who liked the design but not the size of other

Blade laptops. As time has passed, though, gamer-friendly features

With the late-2019 version of the Blade Stealth 13, graphics are core to the line.

Only the $1,499 starting model lacks discrete graphics; our $1,799 review unit

includes an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU. That’s a rare inclusion for a 13-

inch laptop. Add in a premium build, long battery life, and Intel’s newest Ice

Lake processor, and the new Blade Stealth positions itself an appealing hybrid

of an ultraportable and a genuine gaming laptop. It’s not the best pure

ultraportable (our pick is the Dell XPS 13) or gaming laptop (the Razer Blade

15), but it may be the best of both worlds.
