The Razer Blade Stealth was initially announced at the top of the year at CES 2016. At IFA in Berlin, Razer has updated its versatile Ultrabook with more power and a beefed-up battery.
The product as a whole has not changed much, with a majority of the previous specifications remaining the same, but there are notable differences. The new Blade Stealth will offer Intel's 7th Gen i7 processor paired with Intel's HD Graphics 620. The battery gets a minor bump to 53.6 Wh (from 45Wh), that Razer states should allow users to get about nine hours of battery life.
