We were impressed with the Intel Tiger Lake samples we received a few weeks ago. This new 10nm chip is a significant improvement over the 10th generation Ice Lake chips and is the first real look at the Intel Xe GPU architecture. I also specifically called out the Razer Blade Stealth as a potential vessel for mobile parts in such a 28W configuration, and it delivered.

The new Razer Blade Stealth 13 (Fall 2020 version), announced at Razercon, is powered by an Intel Core i7 1165G7. It can be clocked up from a base clock of 2.8 GHz to 4.7 GHz and features the full-fat 96 EU Xe GPU found on slightly higher clocked models. However, as has been the case with the Razer Blade Stealth 13 in the past, that is not the only graphics on this laptop.

Once again, Razer has upped the graphics performance a bit by combining an Intel chip and onboard graphics with Nvidia's discrete GPU. This is Nvidia's GTX 1650 Ti with 4GB of GDDR6, the same configuration as previous models.

The Blade Stealth's slim chassis features a 13.3-inch 1080p IPS display with a 120Hz refresh rate; there is also a 1080p OLED option, which offers higher color accuracy, deeper blacks, and touchscreen capabilities. My choice would be the OLED.

Perhaps - although - 120Hz is very attractive. [Whichever model you decide on, you get the same aluminum chassis, thin form factor (304.6 x 210 x 15.3 mm), and fast port selection, including Thunderbolt 4. It weighs only 1.4 kg (3.1 lbs.).

The Razer Blade Stealth 13 will be available for purchase on Razer's website and at retailers in the US, Canada, EU, China, and Asia Pacific beginning in late October. Prices start at €2,000.
