Product Overview

Razer Blade Stealth 13 Late 2020 features Intel's all-new 11th-gen Core i7 processor, THX Spatial Audio, and up to FHD OLED touch display for an ultraportable gaming experience.
This new Blade Stealth 13 comes equipped with the same NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti featured in the Early-2020 Blade Stealth 13. However, Razer adds 11th-gen Intel processor to the new model without raising the price. The additional power from the latest Core i7 processor, capable of turbo-boosting to 4.7GHz, leads to significant performance gain.
Both display options offer wide color gamut. The 120Hz IPS variant is the fastest 13-inch panel on the market.
The new Blade Stealth 13 also comes with 4 smart amp powered speakers with new THX Spatial Audio application.

Reviewers from notebookcheck have found the following***:
The Razer Blade Stealth 13 is a compact gaming subnotebook in a 13.3-inch format. It relies on a combination of Intel's Tiger-Lake U processors and a fast graphics card from Nvidia (GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q) The only difference between the two available configurations is the display. If you want the OLED touchscreen, you have to pay 250 Euros (~$295) more. In return, you get the better picture quality and the extremely high contrast ratio.

Pros
  • Excellent color accuracy
  • Excellent battery life
  • Full HD IPS screen
  • Fast WLAN
Cons
  • Mediocre contrast ratio
  • Slow response times
  • Expensive for a gaming laptop

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

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.

Pros
  • Superb gaming performance
  • Sleek design
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • CPU throttling
  • Mediocre keyboard

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.

Pros
  • Gorgeous 120Hz display
  • Comfortable keyboard
  • Excellent gaming performance
Cons
  • Average battery life
  • No Windows Hello facial recognition

, 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.

Pros
  • Excellent gaming performance

  • Slightly heavier than the Zephyrus G14
