Like last year’s Blade, this laptop has upward-facing speakers on each side of the keyboard. The other peripheral that’s worth mentioning is the speakers. The trackpad is also quite good and extremely smooth, clicking with a nice quiet thunk. As someone who uses the Shift key more than I use the up arrow, I much prefer it this way. No longer: Razer has extended the Shift key and wedged half-height arrow keys underneath. This made it very easy to accidentally hit the up arrow when you meant to hit Shift. Previous generations of Blade and Blade Stealth attempted to squeeze an up arrow right between the right Shift key and the question mark key. The Stealth has four stereo speakers, and it comes pre-loaded with Dolby Atmos software.Īs it did on other Blade models, Razer has also made a welcome change to the Stealth’s keyboard. Response times were decent, but I did see more ghosting than I’d want to see on a high-end gaming laptop. The screen delivers a nice picture, with bright colors and sharp details. Obviously, you won’t want that one for the best gaming results.) I measured brightness at up to 357 nits, covering 99 percent of the sRGB spectrum and 74 percent of Adobe RGB. You can now configure the Blade with a 120Hz panel, which is the highest refresh rate 13-inch screen you can get. The first feature to know about is the display. Razer has made a few significant upgrades to last year’s Blade Stealth 13 model. Where garish RGB setups like that of the Gigabyte Aero 15 evoke a disco club, this keyboard has the vibe of a classy bar.

But I think the subdued lighting actually augments the Blade’s professional aesthetic. The keys aren’t individually backlit, so you can’t get up to anything too fancy. In Razer’s Chroma Studio software, you can customize all kinds of effects, colors, and speeds. There is one feature that slightly gives up the game (pun intended): the colorful keyboard. If I didn’t know anything about laptops, I’d be shocked to hear that it was designed for gaming. This Blade looks and feels like a premium ultrabook, and it certainly wouldn’t be out of place in a school or office setting.

The chassis is light (3.11 pounds) and compact (11.99 x 8.27 x 0.6 inches), which makes it very close to the size of the 13-inch MacBook Pro (11.97 x 8.36 x 0.61 inches, 3.1 pounds). It’s a world away from traditional gaming laptop designs like that of the Dell G5. But not only is the Blade Stealth 13 one of the best-looking gaming laptops out there it’s one of the best-looking laptops out there, period. Don’t get me wrong: the Zephyrus looks fine. The other factor that distinguishes this from the Zephyrus is the design. One USB-C (Thunderbolt 3) and one USB-A on the right. One USB-C, one USB-A, and an audio jack on the left.

Plus, it supports Windows Hello facial recognition, which is handy for quick and easy logins. The webcam makes the Blade that much more versatile for non-gaming purposes.

But part of the appeal of a laptop with this form factor is that it could easily double as a driver for daily work or for messing around with friends on Zoom. (Asus didn’t put one on the Zephyrus.) Some people will care about this and some won’t. One obvious area where the Blade has the Zephyrus beat is the webcam - specifically, there is a webcam. Whether you’re one of them depends on what you care about the most. But there are certainly people for whom the Blade is a better choice than the Zephyrus. The Blade is no longer the obvious (only, really) choice that it used to be. But thanks to Asus and AMD, this year’s competition is much stiffer. In a vacuum, the $1,799 Blade Stealth 13 is an improvement over last year’s model: the chips are more powerful, there’s a faster screen, and Razer made a much-requested tweak to the keyboard.
