Razer has unveiled the latest update to its Blade Stealth 13 ultraportable gaming machine. As before, there are Full HD and 4K display options, with the former being treated to a competition-beating 120-Hz refresh rate.
"The Razer Blade Stealth 13 is the world’s most powerful ultrabook and we just made it better," said the company's Brad Wildes. "The new Razer Blade Stealth 13 introduces the next generation of ultraportable gaming, providing users the perfect balance between fun and function."

The FHD variant is the first ultrabook with a 13.3-inch display that has a refresh rate of 120 Hz – meaning it updates 120 times per second for fluid and clear visuals. Razer's 4K touch display has a slower refresh rate of 60 Hz but may be a better fit if you're a gamer and a content creator.

Processing and graphics grunt is supported by 512 GB of PCIe NVMe M.2 storage and 16 GB of LPDDR4X (3,733 MHz) dual-channel RAM.

Smart amp technology powers a four speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and there's a 720p webcam and microphone array for video comms.
