Product Gallery
Product Overview
Razer Blade Stealth 13 (early 2020) is the first 13.3-inch Ultrabook with a 120Hz display, powered by the latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti graphics and Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor. The Blade Sealth 13 also packs faster and more efficient LPDDR4X memory in Razer's signature matte black aluminium chassis.
Compared to the previous generation, the 2020 Blade Stealth 13 sports a 25W variant of the Intel Core i7 processor instead of the 15W one. The new GTX 1650 Ti with 4GB of GDDR6 offers 80% increase in performance over the GeForce GTX 1050 in the predecessor of the 2020 Blade Stealth. Thanks to the USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port, the Blade Stealth supports eGPU that brings its performance further.

Reviewer score 90%The 2020 Blade Stealth 13 is an improvement on the past model, in design if not on performance. The Max-Q version of the GTX 1650 Ti just is not much improved over the previous Stealth. The battery life on the 2020 Stealth is good, even if it's not topping the charts.

Pros
- Sleek, lightweight design
- High-refresh display
- Good battery life
- Long-lasting battery
Cons
- No Thunderbolt 3 port
- No Thunderbolt 4 port

Reviewer score 65% processor is fine but outpaced elsewhere, largely by AMD hardware. Core i7-1165G7 scored 5,455 in PC Mark 10 and 4,470 in Geekbench 5. AMD's Ryzen 7 4800U also outpaces the Intel CPU in scores of around 5,800. Intel only has an advantage in single-threaded benchmarks and, even then, the margins are slim. GTX 1660 Ti is almost 10,000 points faster – and the RTX 2060 found in the Acer Predator Helios 300 scores 34,000.

Reviewer score 79%The Razer Blade Stealth 13 is rocking a 13-inch 120Hz display that hits 100% of the sRGB spectrum. Colors on the screen are rich with phenomenal detail from gaming to tasks like video editing or photo editing. There is a 4K 60Hz touch display option available for a couple of hundred dollars more, but considering the system specs are the same, it's a no-go.

Reviewer score 85%, in addition to a quad-core Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD. The Stealth ran Shadow of the Tomb Raider on its highest settings at an average of 45fps. For regular office tasks, the Blade does just fine. Battery life was good, but the profile you choose has a significant impact on results.
