Don’t waste ur money.
For the price, it’s not worth it. A 1650ti MaxQ for $1800? Don’t do it. Hits about 50 fps in Warzone at lowest settings (1080p)
Also, the panel is one of the worst when I comes to ghosting.
The device itself it a beauty, but the hardware really kills it.

Original review was for 5 stars until several months later my screen got a substantial flicker. It took a week for support to help and hours of my own time to fix it with literally dozens of “things to try” rather than addressing the specific issue. For an expensive laptop, Razer Synapse software should be able to do the job as designed (and support team) should be able to update everything correctly. This is my last Razer laptop! Buyer beware.

My review is on the 1080p 120Hz version. I purchased this laptop with my own money so no sponsored review, just fyi.
I work as Web Developer. I use a MacBook Pro for all of my dev projects just because I like using MacOS for development. However, I’ve been in the market for a personal laptop that had to have 3 characteristics :
1. Small footprint- This laptop is the perfect size for those who don’t want to carry around a 15.
2. Quality build – You have to give credit where it’s due. Razer developed an awesome unibody design. It feels premium, and it doesn’t scream “gaming laptop”.
3. Something I can game on – The Blade 13 isn’t going to give you the highest fps that a desktop or that other gaming laptops will give you, but it surprised me. I was actually expecting it to lag or have very low fps when playing Call of Duty – Modern Warfare. When I was playing Multi-player, I was easily hitting as high as 110fps and as low as 85 fps. When playing Battle Royale, my fps didn’t hit as high but averaged between 88-90fps. It was very surprising that this little 13 inch Ultrabook was able to push out those fps. I also didn’t experience any ghosting. I also played some less graphically intense games such as Overwatch as well and it runs very smooth.
This laptop definitely isn’t for the hardcore competitive gamer. It’s for the casual gamer. If you’re looking for a very portable laptop to take with you anywhere, but also has the ability to game, then definitely check out the Blade 13.

I ended up return this for the Asus G14. Hands down, the Asus G14 is the better performing laptop. Here’s what made me choose the G14 instead:
1. Performance to Price ratio – G14’s Ryzen 9 4900HS paired with the 2060Max -Q absolutely destroy the Razer in terms of performance. The G14 is also available thru Bestbuy for $1,049.00. I’d rather play less money for better performance. The extra money you’re paying out for the Razer is just for the brand.
2. Cooling – I am getting about 10C cooler temps on the G14 in comparison to the Razer. I’m assuming this will lead to better longevity.
3. Keyboard – The G14’s keyboard is much more responsive and an overall better typing experience. The backlighting is a little weird since it makes the keys harder to see, but I don’t using my laptop in the dark.

Razer has been refining the Steath year over year to the point where the 2020 Blade Stealth OLED is now one of the best all around ultra books on the market. This is an excellent ultrabook that has great build quality, is light weight, and very power for its size will running cool and maintaining reasonable battery life. The OLED display is beautiful and the very low pixel response time makes it great for gaming even if the panal is limited to 60hz. The 11th gen Intel Tiger Lake CPU is another welcome upgrade over the previous 10th gen Ice Lake CPU which sometimes felt underpowered.

Have been using it for the past 8 months and although useful has been extremely buggy. Keyboard switches off occasionally and have to turn off laptop to reboot. Have had screen issues when using Youtube or chrome. Battery life isn’t quite as advertised but is definitely light and pretty quiet.

I bought the 120 hz 1080p monitor and I have been using it for a while now and I really enjoy the laptop.
I have been using MacBook for almost a decade now but I decided to switch back to Windows after the Catalina update disaster (didnt support 32 bit applications anymore and other reasons). I have used other Razer products before (Core, Blackwidow, Deathadder Elite, Viper Ultimate) and I have been really happy with my purchases, even though they sure have been some a tad more expensive, they have been worth it and durable, really satisfied.
I decided to go for this Razer instead of others laptops for some reasons which I will list below.
1. Aluminum unibody. After using MacBooks for so much time, I don’t mind paying some extra dollars for a unibody build since it gives it a premium quality feeling.
2. Thunderbolt support. This is a huge reason I went with this one over other laptops like the ASUS Zephyrus 14 because I sometimes use an EGPU.
3. 13 inches. For me this is the perfect size because it is not heavy and does not take too much space.
4. Good for gaming with great battery. I don’t really play the huge AAA titles so I don’t need that much juice like an exclusive gaming laptop gives, I just want enough to play some games when I’m bored, like CSGO, horror games, and new titles that come out that don’t demand too much. I am not a hardcore gamer, I use my laptops for working mostly so I have decent battery lives (actual gaming laptops give maybe 2-3 hours), and I can game on it when I want to. For me it was the perfect combination.
It was pricer than others but considering for what I wanted it, it fulfilled my expectations and I would definitely choose this one again. No regrets.

Love the portability of this laptop. I have this laptop as a portable backup and editing rig. Fits the needs of going out of town for the weekend and knowing I have a capable computer. With side gaming of course. I updated it with a 2TB drive, and made it even better. For reference, I use an Alienware desktop and laptop for my main work, I work as a photographer and cinematographer.

I’m really happy with the laptop. Other than it complains about power requirements alot if I use my mac charger. The price could be cheaper as well. I’m pretty happy otherwise.
Surprisingly, it works terribly with an egpu.
