Razer Blade Stealth UHD 256GB ($1,979.95), 512GB ($2,229.95) models with 6th Gen i7

60

Looks like with the 7th Gen Intel CPU's coming out some manufacturers are discounting 6th Gen i7 CPU based PC/laptop stock.

I've been looking at getting the updated Razer Blade Stealth but just noticed that the existing model is discounted by 8-9%.

256GB Model: $2,149.95 > $1,979.95
512GB Model: $2,449.95 > $2,229.95

  • Well that's a stupid amount of RAM.

    • +1

      That's a joke right as it doesn't come across in text…

    • 8gb is perfect amount for gaming anything over 16gb for gaming is stupid.

      • For gaming yeah, but for multitasking it's great.

        • it's a gaming laptop, want more just buy more ram's cheap.

        • @Axelstrife: and put it in your desktop rig? Because razer's been soldering on their ram for the last few generations.

        • @serrin:pretty obvious im a desktop gamer lol
          i wouldn't buy razer if you paid me anyway after i gave a keyboard of there's a shot which got double click problem after 3 months.

        • @Axelstrife: these are the gaming equivalent of a macbook, although I'm not sure they'll hold their value though and at least Razer update their models with new ones yearly. The Core piqued my interest in having a "desktop/laptop one-machine-to-rule-them-all" but the pathetic amount of RAM is a massive turn off.

        • @Axelstrife:
          this is a NON gaming laptop unless you connect an actual good video card to it via an external box

        • @thelastnoob: 2k for a non gaming laptop with 8gb ram.

          im lost as to why anyone would buy this over a metabox with a GTX 1060 for few hundred more lol.

      • My bad. Disregard.

  • New laptops will come with desktop level GPUs. For this you will need to buy core for gaming or GPU heavy stuff.

      The stealth is their ultrabook model. Intel iris is the only GPU you can get in these babies. The 2017 model only upgrades to kaby lake and 16gb RAM option. Razer has always intended for this line of machines to use a Core for proper GPU gaming.
      You're thinking of the Razerblade, not the Razerblade Stealth. I mean, how could you confuse two similarly named, sized and spec'ed products? </sarcasm>
      There's only so many Razor based puns the marketing department could come up with I guess.

      • You're thinking of the Razerblade, not the Razerblade Stealth. I mean, how could you confuse two similarly named, sized and spec'ed products? </sarcasm>

        Sidenote, how the hell does Apple avoid this confusion. They do the same thing, Macbook, Macbook Air, Macbook Pro.

        People seem to constantly confuse the Surface Pros and non-Pros too.

        • Visual distinction, better marketing. I just Googled images for Microsoft Surface and Microsoft Surface Pro, they look identical.

  • why are people comparing laptops to desktop gamin machines …… there must be a reason that my sons rx470 has 2 huge fans ….. heat …… and although called gaming laptops these machines come with mobile versions of CPUs
    and GPUs….. so per $ are not going to deliver the same performance as a desktop ….. manufacturers are good at marketing with numbers like i5 and i7 and 6th gen, 7th gen , GTX 970 etc until you read the spec of the mobile versions.

    great if you need a high power portable laptop, possibly not the best money spent if you don't need the portability but want performance.

      Why do mum and dads love using ellipsis so much?

      • Dunno…

      • It signifies a point where one can think or consider, a bit redundant in a world where all the answers come down the line…

    • Whilst that's true for the 9 series of mobile GPUs, the nVidia 10 series actually does represent similar performance to desktops (within 10%). Yes, heat is an issue, but not one that can't be overcome in a laptop. Check out reviews and you'll find there are plenty of models with 1070 GPUs that don't throttle due to heat.

  • Hey guys. Looks like you can get the 512gb model for $1943.48 delivered from amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01CA0JIZ0 (this includes an import fee deposit)

    Not sure how this goes with warranty etc. But its worth a look

  • Link?

  • Well.. I am not even sure if you'd want to call it "Gaming" laptop given it is only running the Dual Core i7-6500's in here for better heat management. The older Razers were literally aluminum heatsinks on your lap with inadequate cooling.
