Razer Launches 120-Hz Screen Blade Stealth 13 Laptop With Fall Accessories Lineup (venturebeat.com) 9

Razer has unveiled its fall lineup of gaming products for its base of hardcore gamers, including new laptops and an ergonomic gaming chair. The company unveiled the gear at its first annual RazerCon weekend-long event, a virtual festival filmed at the company's Las Vegas store. The event includes concerts with artists such as Deadmau5, DragonForce and Friends, Sabaton, and Speaker Honey. From a report: More than a million people were watching at the outset of RazerCon as Razer CEO Min-Liang Tan took the stage. He noted that Razer donated more than a million masks during the pandemic and that fans donated 75,000. He said Razer also created a $15 million COVID-19 relief fund and the company is supporting green product design with its products and packaging. Tan also announced a partnership with Conservation International to fund the protection of trees worldwide.

Razer announced the latest version of its Razer Blade Stealth 13 laptop with an "ultrabook" design. It has an 11th Gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor running at up to 4.7GHz (base performance of 2.8GHz), a full HD OLED touch display option, and THX Spatial Audio. It also has an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti graphics chip (the same as the prior model with 4GB GDDR6 memory, which gives it 10% faster graphics performance) and is 2.7 times better at content creation than the previous version. The display has an option for operating at a 120-hertz refresh rate. Razer marketing manager Eugene Kuo said in a press briefing that the laptop is the company's first to combine the OLED screen with the faster refresh rate. The laptop runs at 28 watts and can produce darker images and contrast ratios. Razer acquired THX, which was founded by filmmaker George Lucas, and is now adding the THX Spatial Audio technology to its peripherals and computers. For gaming, Razer claims the spatial audio offers a competitive edge, as you can hear which direction enemies are coming from.
The Razer Blade Stealth 13 will be available this month at $1,800 on Razer.com, as well as through select retailers this fall.

  • Is one of the accessories a second laptop for when the first one breaks due to not having any quality control?

  • Blade stealth, eh?

    Blade stealth ultra fuel turbo death X.

    I'd be tempted if it was "butterfly sunflower unicorn", though, especially if it had appropriate decorations.

    • Well you're leaving out the brand: Razer Blade Stealth. The names might be silly but Razer makes some of the most elegantly designed gaming laptops. No giant red vents or weird design cues. Just good, old fashioned Macbook ripoff aesthetics with just the hokey snake logo to indicate it's for gamerz.

      I have an Acer Predator Triton 500 which is almost as tame looking.
  • I bought a Razer Blade 17 pro 2nd generation laptop back in the day. The size and look of the thing was outstanding, the keyboard kinda sucked and their software for the touchpad/2nd monitor thing really sucked. Nevertheless, I got a lot of use out of it for about 6 months, when the battery started to go. I could not get a replacement battery. They told me the battery wasn't covered by the standard warrantee, and I had to buy an extended one. They would not just sell me a battery - and it was a custom

    • This makes me feel vindicated since I was planning on buying a Razer laptop within the past year but held off. Between their questionable quality control and the fact that they require you to get the highest-end video card in order to get an OLED panel, I was completely put off by them. It's a shame because if they offered better options and had better quality control, they could be a top-notch laptop manufacturer. Instead, they attempt to extract as much money as possible, like a certain fruit-based com
  • Seriously, where the heck are AMD offerings?
    4000 series mobile chips are amazing and way ahead of the competitor's offerings (on top of being cheaper, as usual)

  • Hello guys. I hope it will be good because now I don't trust anything. I am not a very confident user of laptops and sometimes I have to read about toshiba satellite factory reset [1nine.com]. Fortunately, it helped me to solve my problems and I am very grateful for that. I can't solve such common issues on my laptop.
