Buy Razer Blade Stealth 13 on Amazon – $ 1,450
Buy Razer Kraken X USB Headphones at Amazon – $ 48
The Razer Blade Stealth is a laptop beast in a relatively modest shell. Engadget’s Devindra Hardawar gave it a score of 83 when reviewed in late 2019 in part for its sleek and robust design, and it’s impressive that Razer has amassed so much power inside the thing. The model for sale comes with an Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q graphics, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and a 13.3-inch 1080p 60Hz display. Putting all of that in a 3lb laptop isn’t easy, but Razer did it and made a laptop that’s just as good for regular work as it is for gaming.
But the Blade Stealth has its limits, just like any other gaming laptop. While titles like Supervision could play smoothly at 1080p 70FPS, others like Destiny 2 it dropped to 40FPS at 70FPS when played at 1080p. The Max-Q graphics inside the Blade Stealth are not a sure guarantee for 60 FPS games all day, every day, but they are much more reliable than GPUs on other laptops of this size.
One of the Blade Stealth’s biggest drops when it was first available was the price. Its original price of $ 1,800 was a hard pill to swallow, but this sale price of $ 1,450 makes it much easier to sell.
The Kraken X USB headset is likely to appeal to even more people, as it only costs $ 48 in this sale. It’s a solid gaming headset that has 40mm drivers and 7.1 surround sound for positional audio, headphone audio controls, and a flexible noise-canceling microphone. It’s a decent device at its normal price of $ 60, but it’s a better buy now if you need a new gaming headset and have less than $ 50 to spare.
