Razer updates its Blade Stealth ultrabook and Core external GPU dock

Razer wants to upgrade how you game and work on the go, and that is why it is launching new versions of its slim laptop and its enclosure for connecting an external video card. The latest Razer Blade Stealth is getting the 8th-gen Intel Core i7 processor as well as an impressive jump in battery life. The Razer Core V2 enables you to connect a discreet graphics processor (eGPU) to the Stealth, which is exactly like the original Core. But this new eGPU dock also features an improved Thunderbolt 3 controller that separates USB devices from the video data, and that should improve performance for both the graphics and any connected keyboard, mouse, or gamepad.

The Blade Stealth is available now for $1,700. In addition to its new CPU, it features 16GB of memory, 512GB of of PCIe SSD storage, and a QHD+ touchscreen display.
