This is the equivalent of seeing your PE teacher, outside school hours, wearing a suit.
lol that is totally it.
A PE teacher in my school wears suits sometimes in school, and he looks absolutely badass. The colours and designs he uses go really well together.
my PE techer is a hot young lady
Yeah I agreed that the ram should have been tiered up. I also would want them to tier up the ssd. I feel like it would make more sense to get the 1080 touch and just buy a nice 1tb ssd.
You're killing it Austin, keep doing what you're doing. Love you man.
Just watched it on Dave's channel
Just watched it on Matthew Moniz's channel
ouch
Hm, this is a really good idea, but the configurations ont really make sense. 1600$ and 2000$? at that point really just get the stealth, theyre both thin and light ultrabooks but the stealth is more powerful and around the same price?? The only model that makes sense is the 1200$ model. Not even hating I think this is a great idea but the prices just don't really make sense.
I am so psyched for this Razer book, finally there is a compelling windows alternate to the look of a MacBook. I have a stealth and it has been perfect. I love having a small laptop.
A current MacBook Air user here. TouchID is great. But gaming on the side has me checking this laptop even today.
Love the very sleek look it has! Also great vid guys thanks! 🤙
Based on the intel xe, can it edit videos guys? Just light editing?
If it was the same price or just a bit higher than the new M1 MacBook Air I’d buy it right away. But it’s hella expensive. Comparing it here in Canada, the MBA costs $1170 and this costs $1700. Both prices are for base models. That is absolutely RIDICULOUS. They cannot justify that price at all.
he lost me when he said $1200
@shibedoggo "We don't do that here"
@shibedoggo but this has more options
Then don’t watch most laptop reviews.
@shibedoggo the MCBP is more expensive and less powerful
@shibedoggo XPS 13 Exist you know
pretty much bailed after learning there was no AMD option.
AMD will never have enough allocation for products like these.
@@impendio I think it was more that laptop manufacturers didn't trust AMD to deliver in such a big way that they would be comfortable putting them in their high end lines.
So hopefully 2021 should give us some nice thin and light Ryzen laptops
probably the thunderbolt
Better get Lenovo Slim7 with 4500u for 699$. Better performance than the i5 and much better device at all. For the same price 4800u version with 16GB/1000SSD which will crash it with ease by a lot.
Hopefully lots of Companies will integrate both Zen 3 and RDNA 2 stuff into both of their laptops especially with fast mechanical switches
6:51 "Courage"
Would this be good for video & photo editing??
When can we expect a full review?
How's the fan noise? One of the things that bothered me the most about using the Stealth for productivity was the loud and arguably distracting whine of the fans. Tell me that the new Book is better?
I know this is an old video but I'm considering buying the Razer book 13 with 16 RAM and 1TB SSD, I want to use it as my every day laptop but also want to play the sims 4 with all packs and some CC, would this be able to handle this with regular use? I currently play it on a base model MacBook Pro (lol) and its fine but its 6 years old and I'm basically out of storage.
Haha! “Yeah but I still want a check.”
What is this fancy new thunder bolt 4?
Great vid guys!
Thank you
@@amke0442 your welcome

As a developer, this is much more in line with what I need out of a laptop, it also shows why Lenovo dominates this market. I routinely run 10g of ram. And often, I will need to spin up a virtual machine (or two) for testing. This is such a pain on a laptop limited to 16gb. It becomes too slow. I would like to see a laptop with more ram. I would also like to see the logo shrunk down, and maybe moved to a corner. If you are sitting in a client's office, and they see that big snake logo on your laptop, they're gonna think you're playing a game on company time. But I do appreciate the push lately on the part of ALL manufacturers to bring elegance to "work" focused machines. The days of the plastic-fantastic work laptop are almost over!
lucky for u mate but I think that razer will release a later version with higher ram capacity but the price will get significantly higher sadly, unless they give u stock 64 gbs ram which is sadly impossible.
Yeah I also think they should replace the snake logo with the word RΛΖΞR if they want business professionals to buy it.
I as a college student wouldn't mind that snake logo but I definitely dont see my dad using that laptop in his office
Ok, razer had added a new section on their website names productivity laptop, also the new laptop names Razer Book "13". So, do that mean in the future, there could be the Razer book 15 and 17? If there is the 15, why not just wait for the 15, since the 15 is always cheaper than the 13 and have a better performance.
The drop hinge kills it for me on every laptop. Can't get behind it. They're going to charge Dell XPS 13 money and the quality and customer support won't be as good.
@Aarish Kodnaney Dell doesn't have good customer service unless you get the ProSupport Plus warranty. It's partially true, then. When a Razer laptop breaks down, there are no parts available on the market to fix it and no easy way to get to Razer to get a specific part. With Dell, HP, Lenovo, [Insert Big Brand Here other than Apple] it's relatively easy to get parts and repairs.
@Aarish Kodnaney I'm in a unique position where I've had both an XPS 13 9300 and a Blade Stealth.
But if you use Razer Core X (eGPU) with a graphic card, it is a gaming laptop ?
this is basically the blade stealth 13 2020 Mercury, althought i personally got it for £1200 with an i7, 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD, only really lost the the 16:10 display and the HDMI Port
LOL watched this already on Dave's Channel
Same lol
Idk who is dave
Your mom is so proud of you

"Daves not here man"
what is razer going to make next a tv ???
How does it handle fighting games
How does it stack up against similar priced laptops?
Why don’t you ask google ?
@@johnsmith-vz4sk because google doesn’t accurately describe the build quality compared to its competitors , especially if the razerbook isn’t out yet
@@22Pete We'll similar competitors are likely Dell xps. Honestly, its a premium and it will always be. Acer will gets you more money, and also...Why care, its had no AMD, I really doubt even 11th gen stacks up, but maybe im wrong here, do we have benchmarks yet? Maybe. See also czcams.com/video/DoCDLZgRggM/video.html
My guy, just wait for Apple Silicon MacBooks
@@richdoescraft4599 I’m not a fan of macintosh, especially since i use my current laptop for a lot of cad. I’m in the market for a good performance laptop but i don’t like how the gaming pc’s look. thinking about goin for a thinkpad
Love your videos
I have been buying macbook pro for years because I love the build quality, actually hate mac OS. I am returning my M1 macbook pro to try this laptop out. Seems like the perfect laptop for me. I personally hate gaming on a laptop also, which is why i only game on my custom PC.
can't wait for 8 core AMD razer blade stealth models
I LOVE THE DESIGN
i dont think all Razer blade stealths have discrete graphics though, so this probably isn't Razer's first non gaming laptop
wow, Razer! Good for you...
"thats all i would ever want." next video: building my ultimate gaming pc
Does it support eGPU?
I hope they come up with a 15 inch version
Linus rocked razer laptops for years and even bought one for each me member of his team, and he says they're incredibly unreliable.
every single one which he has used broke in a spectacular way within about 2 years.
tbh i dont rlly like linus
dumb question but linus the programmer or linus the youtube reviewer
@David Rossington woah, I didn’t think of that. But I think it’s Linus the CZcamsr and not programmer. I remember him saying breaking Razer laptops.
He bought a bunch of 14" models with the GTX 1060, that was 2017. Later he bought a Razer Blade Stealth which stopped working, he made no attempt to get it repaired or addressed by Razer as he had 4 new laptops to choose from, and he just choose the newer version of the Blade Stealth because he likes them. Give the full picture.
I own a 15” Blade, it’s running fine after 18 months, no issues. Got it in early 2019 with a RTX 2070MQ for 1800 USD.
austin, why is the crown on your watch in the wrong spot?!
"It's the first non-gaming laptop from Razer"
Razer Blade Stealth mercury white: "Am I a joke to you?"
I was really considering the raze book 13 but it’s really expensive here in Australia. Not gonna lie but the MacBooks are cheaper here, yeah! Still keeping my options open but need a laptop soon for university
@Anton Kasunic Not just for uni, uni is my main use case. I like to game during the holidays as well. My console is usually in my home country so yeah.
have you looked into the ROG Zephyrus G14? It's a small and compact yet powerful to go through anything. i've been considering the G14 for my course too.
@@KAYLA-pn2ih I did. But again it’s crazy expensive and way too much power for light gaming and basic processing so it’s not really needed for me
@@procidius ohhh, I get your point. but will you actually consider getting a Macbook instead? i'm also super confused as to what i should get. i considered the Zephyrus just because i could probably use it for a long time and it will still be able to function as good as it ages. i've been thinking between Dell XPS 13, the Zephyus G14, and this Razer Book 13 and for the same prices, i'd go for the better specs. i still am thinking though. i have till July and i'm nervous for uni 🤧
@@KAYLA-pn2ih Haha you asked the right question! I actually did get a MacBook! My uni started in March so I couldn’t wait for better windows alternatives. I got the base m1 air and I love it a lot! I would recommend getting 16gb ram to be safe in the long run regardless of your use case, especially if you use chrome 16gb ram is a must. The dell heats up in basic tasks as well so not worth it. G14 is expensive and ridiculously overpowered. The m1 MacBooks are honestly snappy, have a good 2k display with 99 or 93% srgb ratio (sorry can’t remember which of the two) and the battery life lasts 3-4 days for me with normal use. It’s really good
Would have been a lot more compelling if for for $1200 you could at least choose to upgrade ram
PLEASE SWITCH TO 16:10 screens EVERYONE
OMFG PLEASE MAKE THE NEXT STEALTH LOOK LIKE THIS!!
Weird he liked the keyboard but not the trackpad. It's been the complete opposite for other reviewers. And as an owner of one, the keyboard is what I have the most issues with.
Soooooooooo u saying it got thunderbolt "4" ..........................................that means it can _game_ / _Run_ AAA titles by connecting to an eGPU ?
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO. HOPE YOUR CHANNEL GROW FAST AND GOOD LUCK...
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND AND INFORMATIVE WORDS DESHBANDHU TECHNOLOGY WE APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH...
THIS IS is better than AUSTIN EVENS channel and that's a fact!
Awesome Keep out sign
At $1200 I think they are trying to hit that premium Ultrabook market that Apple tries to occupy with the MacBook Pro 13. Not withstanding at $1300 your MacBook has an 8th gen i5 appose to an 11th gen. If the SSD and/or Ram is upgradable I think honestly it may be worth it.
XPS 13 with the same CPU looking like a better deal.
Which specific type? because this laptop has got a vapor chamber that makes it perform much better than a regular 1165g7 with just fans. If you spec out a new XPS13 to be pretty much exactly to this, the razer will perform better for the same prize. Comparing simply comes down to which aesthetic you like better but they’re both awesome laptops
But in reality you can get a stealth for the same price, but for much more.
Cool video tech talk lol yes ok yep oh ok Austin
Austin's been uploading a lot lately! Your content is 🔥
The price really really disappoints me. The Razer Blade Stealth 13 Ultrabook mercury white version sells for $1,299 with an i7 and 16 GB. The comparable Razer Book is NOT worth +$300 more for just simply the addition of 11th gen and 16:10 aspect ratio.
They really got so close yet so far with this one. Lower price and Ryzen would have made it perfect. As it is now, there's no reason to get this over the Stealth or any other thin and light.
We need more mystery tech vid on the main channel 🔥
Is the i7 on this a Quad core or a Hexa core? Last year's stealth 13" models were all quad core i7, which was a turn off for me.
4 cores unfortunately
I have the blade stealth from early 2020 and its also a quad core
@@iriditium197 *sigh* a shame
This is still prototype, so not sure.
@@MikhaelAhava true, but I would not count on it changing tbh.
Dude I got the equivalent of the 1600$ as a Lenovo Flex 5 for 900$ Razer isn’t looking too hot, same specs too i7,16g RAM, 512gb SSD, the only difference was the graphics cards
I think they decided too make a razor version of a MacBook I mean down too the screen aspect ratio
It's like how Samsung is the mobile competition to apple, but with laptops. Still super expensive, but also still great build and has fantastic specs, but the average person isn't going to get it.
So its now a surface?
Laughs in Asus G14
The G14 is one of the best all-rounded laptops IMO
@@d4nyll Only downside is no webcam, but I really wouldn't miss it that much
Teacher: "Turn on your webcam."
Me: "Can't…"
@@SamuraiGuy me: has webcam
But I dont turn on webcam when teachers tell me I'll tell I'm on pc and no webcam lel
This laptop doesn’t have a discrete GPU. The comparison should be to a Razer Blade 15 (1660Ti) which often goes for $1200-1300.
In comparison to that - no webcam, terrible response time on the display, PCIe 2.0 SSD, soldered RAM, poor keyboard backlight and not to mention, inferior build quality. PepeLaugh
make a video trying to game on the razer book
I doubt it will be great but not bad, probs ok. Maybe they will release a razer book 16 or razer book 13 2 that is a mix of gaming and non gaming, for a company like razer would be nice
On Amazon atm for about 600quid... Wwyd?
Noice I love watching reviews on things I can't afford
They strictly made this to compete with the XPS. I'd buy one over an XPS 13.
Sorry, for this price I would configure a nice Thinkpad :)
Ok what they should of do is give us the i7 processor for the 1200 base tbh
And a AMG then it would of been perfect but since they said its just prototypes razer might upgrade and add a
Razer book 15 with icore 7 16gb for 1599
A Razer Blade 15 with those specs already exists, the 1660 Ti model is often found for less than that, @1200-1300. The only difference would be 16:10 display.
in any case, this laptop has enough firepower for playing not too demanding games
Yup
But my 700 dollor hp envy 360 ryzen 4500u also has enough firepower fornon demanding and some demading games it has fullhd 360 screen and pen support added bouns
finally, an affordable RAZΞR product that i will afford in 2 years instead of 6
RΛZΞR *
Razer Blade 15s with the 1660 Ti regularly go on sale for $1100-1200. Talk about exaggeration.
Compare this to the MacBook Pro 13in.
It’s will be soo good for Linux 😍
Just put NVIDIA GPU, AMD CPU and 144hz display on it - name it stealth 2021 and I am buying it
It sucks that there isn't a black option!
I got mine for 900 dollars, And i absoloutley love it!
Where did u buy it off of
Great Video CZcams needs too start notifying me lol!
Hello Austin I’m from India and I enjoy your videos
Clearly going after the MacBook Pro price wise except it's not a MacBook Pro.
Bruh if they had that display on their Blade Stealth and have 120hz it would sell like hotcakes
But there are no high refresh rate 13” panels being manufactured with a 16:10 aspect ratio.
But hell if it isn't priced like one.
Oh? It's another XPS.
watch me plug it into an eGPU...anything can be a gaming machine (before it thermal throttles)
@youtubers if it’s not a final production model wtf are you talking about
That Razer Tax tho.
No, it’s the aluminium unibody tax. Go for something more plasticky if build quality isn’t important.
@@anarki_in5680 dude I own a Razer Blade dont give in to that bullshit razer has a premium for its products. I bet you dont even own a Razer laptop.
interesting...gaming companies non-gaming laptop :P razer gaming laptops are insanely expensive. They look really nice though.
Is (that) an Evangelion reference?
*Any type of gaming laptop WHATSOEVER* 0:27

This is... typical Razer

*i bought one of these they are so good for my work and gaming!*
Let the Man speak !
This is cool from razer
If only it can have ethernet port as network guys need it and no new laptops have that that's why most of them go gor thinkpads
Intresting. Razer is officially running out of ideas
Razerrrrrrr
the laptop should come with razer blades!!
I’m in the market for an Alienware m15 r3...anyone have an optimal SKU so that the high end internals dont go kaput under the thermals?
Who else already watched this on dave's channel?
This is a beautiful laptop. Props to the guy who came up with that Mercury silver finish
$1200 for an aluminum finish.... Tim Apple working for razer now.
It’s not aluminum finish, it’s aluminum unibody, and Apple doesn’t have a monopoly on those. Also good build quality costs money, big surprise. Go for some plasticky thicc laptop if you’re all about spec sheets.
Me thinks you missed the point. Your paying for looks not function. Thats literally opposite of the brand identity and why so serious ;)
@@joshconfer209 Well there is a market for ‘looks not function’. I mean the XPS line is also similarly priced. Also these laptops tend to carry the best screens in terms of color gamut and contrast, and also tend to have the speediest SSDs, so on. Along with build quality, that’s a lot of things not mentioned on a traditional specsheet where these guys spend money. It’s a different segment. If I’m serious, your comment was very droll.
Sir, you need to calm down (this is an internet meme reference). I don't disagree with any your statements. It was a joke (see LTT videos about tim apple/macbooks), not a definitve statement and it was movie reference (dark knight) not an attack.
@@joshconfer209 Ah kudos then to that one guy who understood you and liked your comment.
