Razer Blade Stealth (2019) - The Almost Perfect Ultrabook!

[@MatthewMoniz]

Here it is one of the fastest 13" Ultrabooks on the market! It's expensive so make sure its exactly what you're looking for before buying. Hit me up on discord if you have any questions! discord.gg/mattmoniz

Matthew Moniz can you tell me what MX150 is in the hp envy 13” thanks.

[@TSUNAMI17]

Matt: "You can't stick a GTX 1050 in a 13 inch laptop, it will overheat." Razer: "Challenge accepted."

[@Spazza42]

Easy. It can’t overheat if it’s power throttled hard enough to stop it getting hot in the first place.

[@yassinsmaamoun]

I would love to own this laptop, fits my use case perfectly: Has enough power for school work, but also good enough for some casual gaming, all while keeping it portable enough to take to school daily. Just wish they'd drop the price by a couple hundred bucks

[@naveenjafer70]

They just did today, if you are still looking for it that is.

[@spade4397]

I guess razer is to blame for their 'gaming' oriented marketing around this laptop that has mislead everyone into thinking this is a gaming machine, clearly its targeted at the macbook air/pro for productivity workload, and compared to apple's offering this ultrabook has more value / hardware for the money

[@creatorsremose]

MBA isn't a productivity machine. And the MBP is much more expensive and a lot less performant with the worst hardware problems of almost any productivity-centric laptop.

[@andyH_England]

Creator's Remorse yes because of the keyboard issues MacBooks have dropped down reliability surveys behind most other OEMs, apart from Razer, that is consistency a poor choice for reliability. Just Google, easy choose a MacBook Pro (especially the newest) ove4 a Razer

[@christophriess5274]

Ultabooks like that just aren't meant for those who think about the price. They're made for specific needs that don't include saving money. I guess that's ok. If a big enough market exists, someone will fill it. The rest of us buy "smart value" and are happy as well.

[@M7meedo]

I did get the SB2 13.5 and I am in love with the performance of the GTX 1050. For $1899 with i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB of storage plus a decent gaming GPU I think I was in luck to find my SB2 in that price point during Black Friday. But I do admit, the Stealth does feel more portable IMO.

Theres not many products out there as same quality as this one. Huawei matebook might be the one, the price pretty much as close as blade stealth but the performance not even close. 'Pricey' I dont think so, not likely apple product, charge you much more than what you get. Blade Stealth give you pretty close to what you pay for.

Also upgraded my ssd but I can not get the mx150 drivers to work properly. I was playing games like gtaV and the witcher 3 @ med now cant get them to work on low..... Razer help and website is useless Im sure this will be fixed eventually but build and battery are legit. Thank you again for reaching out and cant wait for your next videos.

I'm in school and I find this laptop perfect for what I need. it has 8+ hours of battery life for class but during lunch I can sit down plug it in and run games like doom at 60 fps on medium settings, or do some CAD for class. I do intend to get an eGPU down the line but for now I do get battery life that contends with other peoples thin and light laptop (as long as you're willing to mess with NVIDIA's control panel). and when need be, have the most power out of any 13". Also i bought mine early January 2020 for 1150$ after tax.

[@dhruvitnavadiya3423]

I have this ultrabook(just bought a week ago) and i love it for it's performance and quality over it's value. Because i got performance and quality with portability for high budget and i don't care about that budget. I know it's overpriced but it's worthy for portability. Reviewer is absolutely right!

[@BZ_-zd3ph]

Essentially, the laptop is absolutely fantastic in what it does as what is/could be an office laptop. The only criticism I have is the price tag but I would still buy one again every time

[@kavysingh13]

Plz make a comparison video on Razer Blade 13 Stealth vs. Razer Blade 15

Hey man. I don't believe an 8 bit panel qualifies as true HDR. Nice review.

[@boostjunkie92]

I just bought mine for work/school. (4k model) I had bought the XPS 13 9370 4k model a few months ago and it had nothing but problems. Switching to the RBS was like night and day. It runs far smoother, the trackpad is leaps and bounds ahead of the XPS pad, and the overall experience is much more pleasant. The only issues I found are that the Liteon M.2 SSD makes noise when reading/writing (sounds like an old HDD). I will be swapping it out for a Samsung Pro. The other issue was that the fans would ramp up to 100% with CPU temps in the 70s. A full wipe and fresh install of windows have seemed to fix the issue. I will still be undervolting the CPU though.

[@DawnDudex]

any chance u can give me ur opinion 8 months later about this laptop? thinking about getting one myself now thats its on sale.

[@lolisaikou5971]

Razer did well with the refresh of their Blade 15. But the Stealth costs more than other competitors. Sure it has discrete graphics and 30% more power. I agree with you Matt that what you’re paying is for the portability. But you’re not getting the performance you need in a small package. If you need thin and light, on the go, with discrete graphics, the Zephyrus S or GS65. If you need something more portable or smaller than that that’s equally powerful, sorry. That doesn’t exist yet. The Stealth would be for the people who are razer fans, have money to spend, and looking for a powerful (if not, the most powerful) 13 inch laptop on the market.

[@yassinsmaamoun]

But it's not the same: The zephrus s and GS65 are big machines compared to the blade even if they are smaller than competitors. Two different target demographics I guess.

[@lolisaikou5971]

yassin sherif, the Zephyrus S is the thinnest powerful laptop and the GS65 is the lightest. Why are you buying the Stealth? Do you want portability or performance? Or both? Because in my opinion, the other two are better with a more justifiable price tag. Do you want a 13 inch with a performance of a 15 inch? It doesn’t exist yet. As I’ve said, if money is no object to you, then this is the laptop for you.

[@willa8720]

You mean.... Discrete graphics?

[@lolisaikou5971]

Willa Waliyadin sorry. Fixed

[@CamoronZ]

Which competitors, can you please name them with the price tag? Those 15" arent 'competitors', they are in different level.

[@Scious]

Traveling a lot with only carry on and so 15" being just too heavy. A few things that would be interesting to maybe add to future videos, power brick size/weight and if it's easy to open(need to pry up clips or what not). Excellent video though. Still nice to see some Type A ports, not too big a fan of metal wrist rests due to often getting the unsettling tingeling/electric feeling on touch when plugged in.

[@Chonkkey.boards]

Is this enough for Autocad?

[@ickna2002]

I'm not sure why people say this is so expensive. The XPS 13 for the same specs without dedicated graphics is $1600. The surface laptop 2 is more and only has 8gb ram. So in this category it is not that far out there.

[@KouroshFarrokhzad]

It's not worth the price point but it still is a beautiful machine - I absolutely love what they did with the MX150 - very smart. Thanks for the review, Matt.

[@Shirojirou100]

I think this laptop is perfect for those who travel a lot and do audio production. Audio production software are heavy and need the power so it won't glitch when running. I think I might get one myself.

[@naufalazizferbi4296]

Wait, it isn't a MX150 on steroid. It is THE MX150 that introduced publicly, 25w. The one in most laptops are the 15w ones that nVidia didn't, maybe forget, to introduce alongside the 25w one. 25w MX150 is the OG for performance, the 15w MX150 is the "moderate" one with battery life in mind.

[@Manuel-rl6um]

It would have been amazing if you'd have tested GPU accelerated software like DaVinci Resolve, Affinity Photo, Blender and the like. And compare it with the other ultrabooks without GPU. It would be interesting to see a comparisson of this new Razer Stealth against the new ZenBook 13/14 (also Whiskey Lake with MX150, smallest bezels) and the Huawei. Thanks Matthew!

[@lunariz97]

1:07 - If I'm not mistaken, only the right USB-C is TB3, the left USB-C is 3.1 Gen 2 in which both can support charging. I don't quite understand the layout they chose, smaller arrow keys works just fine (Macbook old keyboards and ThinkPad keyboards). It's not really a deal breaker if you're a slow typer or never use right shift at all. They don't even have a proper keyboard with the same layout to make uniformity around their own products (I get it PC keyboards are way bigger than laptop keyboards) but why change the layout from the previous Blades?

[@bilalandcards]

How is it? Would you recommend?

[@Kasilias]

Hey Matt, I'm not sure if you knew but the MX150 used in Huawei Matebook X Pro is also much weaker than normal MX150 (it's performance is closer to MX130, they bought lower bin one). There was even a little drama about that because Huawei never specified that but when compared to boosted MX150 in Razer, the difference is even higher than it would normally be. Just a fun fact for everyone who was interested in buying Huawei. I'm also a little disappointed that there is no individual key backlight in new Stealth but oh well, at least second F roude is lighted now. Still a little too much overpriced in my opinion. About your review, really great one and quality as always very good! I know you mention great battery life but it would be awesome if you could slip somewhere information about how good it performers while gaming.

[@AndreaZoeh]

Shouldn't be this be a much better value for money instead of the xps 13 2019? I don't understand why people keep pushing the xps more than this one

[@airdrawn]

This has 4 stereo speakers and not 2 as mentioned in the review, fairly important feature and clearly stated on the Razer website..

[@trumpalumpa9368]

I checked it.. mx150 with 30%+ is as fast as a gtx 960m or around 20% less fast than gtx 1050 (performance in games). So it's totally fine to game on it, just don't expect too much.

[@mohibeyki]

How would you compare this laptop with aluminum body to x1 carbon in terms of build quality and endurance? I asked you this in the livestream but you didn't respond :D

[@lunariz97]

X1 Carbon would be more durable as it as the MIL-STD rated. Both build quality are around the same, but metal tends to dent more compared to carbon fibre (you do need to compare the actual thickness of each products though). That's something I can't find about. It comes down to the finish. X1 Carbon have the typical ThinkPad soft touch finish whereas the Blade Stealth have matte metal finish. Soft touch finish tends to wear more against a matte metal finish. So in the long term you might see the X1 Carbon to wear more than Blade Stealth but doesn't mean it's not durable. It's just the finish.

[@lunariz97]

@@drfyzziks That would be Quality Assurance problem which every single product in the world have it. If it's 1% out of 10,000 units, then 100 units would be affected. That's kinda a nature of any mainstream (produced in bulk in factories) products. Review products given to all those KZbinrs usually were being analyzed quite more in depth rather as they're less in quantity compared to the retail versions. If you want to minimize the risk of that then you should buy a handcrafted product or individually hand assembled by actual people who runs the company, in which the price will skyrocket very easily.

[@MinecraftMasterNo1]

Carbon fiber will last longer than metal any day of the week. But, I don't know if this is a problem with carbon fiber in general or just my device, it catches fingerprints like crazy. I have to wipe it down with a cleaning solution almost weekly.

[@lunariz97]

@@MinecraftMasterNo1 Like I commented above, that would be the finishing they use on the carbon fiber itself. Matte Black finish on the aluminum Razer Blade Stealth is also prone to fingerprint compared to some other aluminum chassis. Not all material are finished the same way.

Even though i use the right shift key on occasion, I don't think that odd placement would be an issue for me, since I usually hit the key on the far right anyways. I don't know though, I would have to see one in person.

[@s-l-a-y]

Would you rather have the same arrow key placement, but with a longer shift key, or the normal placement of those keys?

[@NotoriousRKB]

I have the 4k version and I love it but recently I have considering maybe trading it in and getting a Razer Blade 15 instead. I do not plan to game on it that much so I guess what I have is ok but I would probably enjoy the bigger screen if it is not that much bigger/heavier than the stealth. I know you have played with both. What is your opinion on one vs the other for someone mainly consuming media and music production. I guess I would do the occasional gaming on it but I have a dedicated desktop for that sort of stuff

Comes with 8 gigs of ram instead of the 16, and it’s like 200 bucks cheaper. I mainly like this one due to the chroma keyboard.

[@carlos.arenas]

If people use both equally, that doesn't mean they use it at the same time, so you can't sum that total to the other 12%, you can take the mean or average, but not the whole 13%. So it's NOT 25%

[@hudsonsmith8880]

[@Zbiru7]

I think people buy the mx150 model because of the ram

[@MinecraftMasterNo1]

You get 70-80% of the eGPU at most with TB3. You're getting 130% of the MX150. And besides, eGPU solutions aren't exactly cheap.

[@blu7512]

@@MinecraftMasterNo1 Neither is the Razer Blade Stealth. If someone really wants an ultrabook with more power in it, it would be more reasonable to hit a good deal on a cheaper ultrabook and an eGPU than to spend it on an MX150 for the same price. Yes, you won't get full graphical power from TB3, but at least it isn't paying a fortune for what an MX150 offers.

[@blu7512]

@@Zbiru7 Not really. Most people buy the "mid-spec" model for the MX150. The laptop is branded as a gaming ultrabook because of the dGPU, not because it has 16 gb of RAM, which plenty of other ultrabooks at the price range already offer.

Jeikun so would the blade 15 be better to get then the stealth, gaming wise. Price not mattering in this situation. Ive never been into gaming laptops before and I know very little about them. Would I have to change anything out for the laptop to preform better for games?

[@Jeikune]

@@jennamason3751 gaming wise absolutely, the 15 has a gtx 1060 max q in it, itll outperform the stealth 13 anyday. You can play games with ultra settings and enjoy 30-60fps easily from my experiences. The stealth is definitely lighter and more portable if thats what youre looking for but for the same price as the 15, i'd say the 15 wins

Hey Matt, you pick razer blade 15 as the best premium gaming laptop in your award video. But so far I have heard a lot of negative comments regarding how the blade 15 throttle and gets very hot even with GTX 1060 max-q during consistent gaming. So is throttling a serious issue on gaming consistently on this laptop, coz I am looking at 1060 max-q one but I am very worried about throttling. (BTW was this video sponsored by google pixel.. ??😂😂😂)

[@MatthewMoniz]

haha no the video wasn't sponsored by Google. I just wanted a white phone to add a nice contrast to the black laptop. Pixel is all I had. As for throttling it doesn't really thermal throttle it power throttles which means the CPU doesn't get hot unless you turn gaming mode on. If you watch my review of the laptop I show the temperatures. However, when the laptop first came out in the early summer there were some overheating issues but after a few software updates the laptop runs cooler than most thin premium gaming laptops I've tested this year.

@@MatthewMoniz thanks a lot for your response. Based on your response I think I might go with blade 15 rather than helios 500. Keep up the good work

Sick look!

I know this is very picky, but WTH, a lock hole for basic security is mandatory on this machine! Why bothering making its look more neutral if they cannot see the basic needs of business users?

What you think about using for students ?

[@bravey1995]

Hi matt, I already have an alienware 15 but am looking for something portable for university what would you recommend this or the matebook x ?

[@MatthewMoniz]

For simple work id probably go with the Matebook x pro. Better keyboard and the display is 3:2 which is better for productivity

[@bravey1995]

Thank you so much for replying i also wanted to ask about 2 major concerns: 1 - does the touchpad rattle and how is it in general ? 2- is there really thermal problems under moderate use ?

[@maxhartung97]

I don't know about you but these laptops just don't have enough USB ports for my use case. I use 2 USB ports for my keyboard & mouse while docked and 1 HDMI port for my display and I need at least one USB A port for other stuff or USB C to use an adapter. My ProBook 4540s has 4 USB ports that's great but new laptops have 2 USB A ports at max. Anyone else like me ?

[@Tigerex966]

Yep plus sd card and hdmi I use I also like the battery indicator lights I think 3 USB a gen 2 would be the sweet spot just as fast as usbc or faster And 2 thunderbolt 3 usbc as card HDMI and dedicated Ethernet dongle port with wake from networks supoort

[@lamcao6638]

At least they have usb a port. Mac dont have one
