Razer Launches Blade Stealth Laptop and Core V2 External Graphics Enclosure

The Latest Razer Products Take Aim At Mobile Domination

Razer has announced their 8th Generation Intel Core I7-based Blade Stealth laptop, along with their Core V2 External Graphics Enclosure. Both designed with high end PC enthusiasts in mind, these new Razer products both pack some impressive specifications and look quite impressive. If Razer would like to send them our way for proper evaluation, we would certainly be up to the task.

Razer Blade Stealth

The Blade Stealth offers a 13.3-inch Quad HD+ (3200 x 1800) IGZO touchscreen display that is capable of displaying a 100% sRGB color gamut. The laptop weighs under three pounds and has a very sleek design that will allow it to fit in anywhere. Designed for high performance users on the go, the Blade Stealth comes packed with an 1.8GHz i7-8550U and 16GB of DDR4 RAM, along with a 512GB SSD. Razer is also including a Chroma-controlled keyboard with the Blade Stealth, to help remind users that Razer is all about that RGB.

While Razer is known as a PC gaming peripheral company to many, the Blade Stealth isn’t designed for high end PC games out of the box, as it relies on Intel HD Graphics for graphic output. That doesn’t mean that you’ll need a separate gaming PC to use the Blade Stealth to play your favorite PC titles. The processor and RAM in the Blade Stealth are more than adequate for gaming, all you need is a proper GPU. For that, Razer has users covered with their Core V2 external GPU solution.

Razer Core V2

The Razer Core V2 is an external enclosure with a physical PCI-E X 16 slot (wired to x4) that allows users to install a graphic card that can be used with their Razer laptops via a Thunderbolt 3 cable. Two notable improvements over the original Razer Core are an internal Dual Thunderbolt 3 connection for more bandwidth, along with RGB lighting that is adjustable with Razer Chroma software.

The Razer Core V2 doesn’t require a Windows reboot to be used when a compatible graphics card is installed, which was a major shortcoming of the original Core.

Let us know what you think of Razer’s latest offerings, which hit just in time for this holiday season.
