Meet the 2019 Razer Blade Stealth
The last major change to the Stealth ultraportable, in 2017, increased the screen size from 12.5 to 13.3 inches. For the first time since then, the Stealth is noticeably different from the most recent version.
Thin Bezels, Better Look
The 2019 model is imperceptibly thicker (0.58 inch versus 0.54 inch), but it has a smaller footprint (12 by 8.3 inches, versus last year's 12.6 by 8.1 inches) thanks to some extremely thin bezels.
New Lid Logo
The old neon-green lid logo (right) is no more, replaced by an etched black-on-black (left). It looks a lot more attractive and mature, fitting for a general-use laptop you may want to take everywhere.
Two Display Options
The 2019 Stealth comes with either a full HD screen with a matte finish, or a 4K touch display with glossy glass.
New Keyboard and Touchpad
Gone is the per-key backlighting that the Stealth introduced to Blade laptops, replaced by single-zone lighting. The touchpad is also larger than before.
A Look at the Left-Side Ports...
On this side, you can see a USB Type-C port for charging, a USB Type-A port, and a combo audio jack for headphones and mic.
...and the Right-Side Ones
Flip it around, and you'll spot another USB 3 port, as well as another USB Type-C port, this one with support for Thunderbolt 3.
