Razer provides Blade Stealth 13 laptop with support for separate Nvidia GPU

Razer is releasing a new variant of its Blade Stealth laptop, which includes support for a separate dedicated GPU from Nvidia: the MX150. The previous version of the thin and light laptop had to make do with the integrated GPU of the Intel CPU or an externally connected GPU.

The Razer Blade Stealth 13 is available in a variant that can accommodate an Nvidia Geforce MX150 GPU with 4GB of gddr5 vram. Furthermore, the laptop is slightly more compact than last year’s edition and it is now also possible to choose a 4k touchscreen that, according to Razer, can display 100 percent of the sRGB color space. Interested parties can also opt for a matte full-HD screen that can also display 100 percent of the sRGB color space. Both screens are the same size: 13.3″.

Razer offers the new version with the Intel Core i7-8565U, while last year’s version came out with an i7-8550U. The new processor has four cores and eight threads at 1.8GHz, with a boost to up to 4.6GHz. This differs little from the i7-8550U from the earlier version, except for the slightly higher boost frequency. Razer offers the quad-core in a configuration with an SSD with 512GB or 256GB, supplemented with 8 or 16GB of RAM.

According to Razer, the Synapse 3 software, among other things, ensures that the battery life has increased, despite the battery capacity has remained the same. The battery life would be 13 hours, on paper an improvement of 3 hours compared to the 2017 model. The manufacturer also reports that the CPU and any GPU in the new model are better cooled.

The manufacturer reports that the Blade Stealth 13 will be released in Europe in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Scandinavia. The most expensive version with the 4k screen and the Nvidia GPU costs $ 1,899 in the United States, while the cheapest version with full-HD screen and only the integrated GPU costs $ 1399. Razer does not yet list European prices on the European website.
