Thunder snake Blade Stealth notebook experience endurance

Tencent’s Raul “begins with players, giving players,” which is the purpose of Rasheel, a company based in San Diego. However, the company recently "turned away from the norm" and introduced the ultra-pole Blade Stealth. The reason why Razer is abnormal is because Blade Stealth's definition is not a game book. However, this does not mean that Razer has abandoned the game. Blade Stealth is still equipped with a "game priority" 12.5-inch touch screen and Intel HD 520 graphics card.


The configuration of Razer Blade Stealth is similar to that of other high-end non-game super poles, so what makes it stand out from many other products? After overcoming difficulties such as the prototype being stolen and postponing delays, Razer Blade Stealth finally launched at the beginning of this year. Despite a lot of setbacks, Razer Blade Stealth had a remarkable shot. With the innovative features of the Switch Blade interface, Razer Blade Stealth quickly won the attention of everyone.

Although Razer was involved in the Ultrabook for the first time, Blade Stealth was not like a "generation product." Its thickest body is only 0.52 inches, which is similar to Apple's MacBook Air.


Ray Snake Blade Stealth uses an aluminum alloy body design, the whole feel is high-end, clean and beautiful. Its design features a distinctive Razer feature: a smooth black matte shell with a Razer logo on the top cover. The only problem with this design is that it's easy to leave fingerprints, so users must always remind themselves that you shouldn't eat racy Blade Stealth while you eat chips.

Razer Blade Stealth's ports are also very rich, two USB 3.0 ports, a Thunderbolt port, a charging port, a HDMI 1.4b, 3.5 mm headphone jack neatly distributed on both sides of the fuselage. Of course, Razer Blade Stealth also supports Bluetooth wireless connectivity.

The bottom rubber pad of Razer Blade Stealth is better than the traditional four foot pads. I believe that similar designs will appear in more and more notebooks.


4K display

The Razer Blade Stealth touchscreen has two configuration options, a 12.5-inch QHD (2560 x 1440 pixel) touchscreen and a 12.5-inch UHD 4K (3840 x 2160 pixel) touchscreen. Both screens use the IGZO-IPS panel, but the 4K resolution screen has a pixel density of 352ppi and supports 100% Adobe RBG color gamut. The QHD screen has a pixel density of only 234ppi and only supports 70% of the RGB color gamut.

The term "IGZO" in the IGZO-IPS panel refers to the semiconductor material contained in the panel substrate: indium, gallium, and zinc oxide. The IGZO-IPS screen has a short response time to touch operations, low power consumption, and a more uniform image presentation.

Razer Blade Stealth's 4K screen is very gorgeous, with vibrant screen colors and saturation. It is one of the brightest screens I have ever seen, and the darkness is also great.

The only improvement that needs to be made on this screen is that it is surrounded by thick borders. I would also like to see an ultra-narrow frame design similar to the Dell XPS 13.


Hardware and CPU performance

Thunder Snake Blade Stealth is equipped with Intel Core i7-6500U processor, this ultra-low pressure processor is based on the 14-nanometer process and Skylake architecture built, with dual-core. Compared to the Broadwell microarchitecture and the Haswell architecture processor, Skylake architecture processor performance is not much, but it helps to reduce power efficiency and improve graphics quality.

The 15W TDP's Core i7-6500U processor is almost twice as powerful as the Haswall architecture processor, making it ideal for ultrabooks like the Razer Blade Stealth, and it provides the power to meet the needs of most users.


The Core i7-6500U processor can meet most game requirements, but the Intel HD 520 graphics card has dragged its feet. In spite of this, the performance of the HD 520 graphics card is a lot better than the previous HD 4600. Razer Blade Stealth's storage subsystem is extremely fast because it is equipped with a removable PCIe SSD. In summary, there are four configuration versions of Razer Blade Stealth:

QHD screen, Intel Core i7-6500U processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD;

QHD screen, Intel Core i7-6500U processor, 8GB memory, 256GB SSD;

4K UHD screen, Intel Core i7-6500U processor, 8GB memory, 256GB SSD;

4K UHD screen, Intel Core i7-6500U processor, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD;

The performance of the Core i7-6500U processor and PCIe SSD, the benchmark results may explain some issues:

Keyboard and touchpad

The bottom of the keyboard of Razer Blade Stealth is a "big" touchpad. I have experienced a lot of bad touchpads, but Razer Blade Stealth's touchpad is not in this list.

Razer Blade Stealth's touchpad feels comfortable and responsive to gestures. The overall experience is very good. The only problem is that there is only a narrow gap between the touchpad and the keys, so I often touch the touchpad when typing, and this seems inevitable.

The Chiclet keyboard provided by Razer Blade Stealth is very common in ultrabooks. The sub-island buttons are beautiful and the noise is small, but the typing experience is not so good. Razer Blade Stealth keyboard feels very mediocre to the author, if you use it to play long papers, it can be annoying.

The most outstanding feature of Blade Stealth keyboard is RGB backlight support customization, users can customize the keyboard backlight according to their needs.

Of course, if you don't like or need keyboard backlighting, you can turn them off as a whole.

External Graphics Core

When Blade Stealth was released, everyone wondered why Razer had to launch an ultrabook with no discrete graphics. Later, we all know that it is to promote the external graphics Core. Razer called the Core the first truly plug-and-play, external card with a Thunderbolt 3-port. With its help, the original Blade Stealth, with its mediocre graphics performance, can instantly be upgraded to a desktop product that rivals desktops.

According to Ray Snake, the reason why the external video card was created was to make it harder for the game when designing ultrabooks. Because of this, the company can make Blade Stealth so thin. The most exciting thing about Core is that it integrates Thunderbolt 3 port.

Unlike other external graphics cards, Razer Core is not limited to specific products and brands. Any notebook that supports Thunderbolt 3 port and Intel graphics cards can use it. However, Core external graphics card is not cheap, if you really need a discrete graphics card, you may wish to consider.

Comes with graphics performance

Aside from the Core accessories, the graphics performance of Razer Blade Stealth is really low. Even at the lowest setting of 720p resolution, it is not able to smoothly run new games like "Wizard 3".


Of course, you can also choose to play only those games that are good at 720p, such as Skyrim, Legion Fortress 2, and so on. In fact, even at 1080p resolution, this kind of game will not be too bad on Razer Blade Stealth. In other words, Blade Stealth just can't run those new games.

Lifetime

The Razer Blade Stealth has many advantages, but battery life is by no means one of them. The Skylake architecture really helps to improve the efficiency of the PC, but the 45Wh battery is also "powerless." In addition, the Razer Blade Stealth is equipped with a super-powered 4K display, and its battery life can only be described as "treasure" (of course, the life of the QHD screen version should be better than the 4K screen version).

To improve the life of Razer Blade Stealth, I have several suggestions. First, dim the keyboard backlight to reduce power consumption (press the FN and F10 keys at the same time). If you really like the keyboard backlight, it is best to set the color to a single red, green or blue. Secondly, lowering the screen brightness will certainly have a big impact on the user experience, so you can do this when the Blade Stealth power is low.

In addition to the unsatisfactory endurance, it is undeniable that Blade Stealth has many "future" features, including integrated USB-C ports. The USB-C port is compatible with the USB 3.1 connector, which means that Blade Stealth will be able to connect with a variety of devices, such as mobile power, display, and other PCs. Having said this, I would like to add that the Blade Stealth's power adapter is small, light, but with fine workmanship. It can fully power Blade Stealth in two hours.


Sound effects

Blade Stealth stereo speakers on the side of the keyboard are uniquely designed for loud sounds. Only when the volume is adjusted to 70%-80%, the sound will be distorted.

So the sound effects of Blade Stealth are only ordinary. If you want high-end audio, use headphones or external speakers.

Summary: The Ultrabook of Excellence

Razer Blade Stealth is a superb ultrabook that is impeccable in design, build, functionality, portability, and performance. In the same level of ultrabooks, Blade Stealth is very conspicuous. Specifically, the advantages of the Razer Blade Stealth are brilliant display, aluminum alloy body, ultra-portable, custom backlit keyboard, and integrated USB-C port.

Blade Stealth is also very cost-effective. The Blade Stealth with a Core i7 processor, 128GB SSD, and QHD screen is priced at $999, and the 4K display is also available for only about $1,399. You know, the Dell 2016 XPS 13 is more than nearly $300 more expensive than it.

More importantly, although the Razer Blade Stealth is not a game, it can improve performance through an external Core card to enhance the gaming experience. The external Core card is undoubtedly a factor that attracts gamers to buy Blade Stealth, but for this reason consumers pay more money.

Of course, Razer Blade Stealth is not without its drawbacks, such as mediocre life and touchpads that often trigger misunderstandings. In addition, Razer Blade Stealth's built-in PCIe SSD supports upgrades, but memory is not supported.
