Razer Blade Stealth 2019 is a thin and light ultrabook you can game on. This year, it’s a lot more stealthy, with a newer boxy design and a neutral white logo. Besides, I had no complaints about their past design choices, but the new look just gives it a more professional feel, which I think is better.

Apart from these two, it’s the same display, same storage, and the same processor. If you need more RAM then this is the only option for you.
