Razer brings its current Blade range of laptops to the IFA 2019 Electronics Show in Berlin, including

and updated Blade Stealth 13, which the companycalls the world's first gaming ultrabook. We have heard similar statements before, but this time it is quite true. Razer Blade Stealth 13 GTX received a discrete graphics card GeForce. Not the MX-series, which is usually used now in ultraportable laptops, but the quite “mature” NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 with 4 GB of GDDR5 memory, and this is in a compact case with a thickness of about 15 mm. A more modest Blade Stealth 13 Mercury White model with Intel Iris Plus graphics will also be available. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 will allow you to play quite comfortably in modern titles in FullHD, although not at maximum speed. The question remains how efficiently the cooling system will cope.
