The Razer Blade Stealth gets an overhaul with a 4K display and better graphics
The Razer Blade Stealth was always intended to be a non-gaming machine from a company that calls itself a "lifestyle brand for gamers." Or at least, it's a computer that could blend in at a business meeting instead of screaming, "I am a gamer, look at all these crazy lights!" A 2018 update to the device that went on sale today has a tone-on-tone logo on the back that looks a little less attention grabbing than the bright-green Razer logo from before, and it doubles down on the previous model's ultraportable credentials with slimmer bezels.
But the biggest improvements are actually in performance. The new Razer Blade Stealth comes in three configurations at $1,399, $1,599, and $1,899, and the top two add discrete graphics (NVIDIA GeForce MX150 with 4GB of GDDR5 memory). The entry-level spec still just has integrated Intel HD Graphics 620. The second-tier spec with the MX150 (and an additional 8GB of memory over the base spec, bringing it to 16GB 2133MHz) is only $200 more than the base spec, making it a tempting upgrade for gamers.
