The 2019 Blade Stealth Bible

Rizumu85I was by default with high sensitivity, and I changed to most sensitive but it did not work. That does sound like a faulty touchpad - if you boot into a live Linux distro, does the entire surface work, or just the same small patch?

Razer Blade Stealth(2019) - BIOS 1.06 changelist?

ronagergely86So this is the most I managed to get out from Razer Tech Support: "So, BIOS 1.06 will fix some minor coil, SMBIOS type, and latency fixes. The EC update boost Synapse performance, and ACPI / Power Framework performance. I would advise to update BIOS to ensure that your hardware is communicating with your system properly and prevent any ACPI issues with the battery or the ports. These BIOS updates do not modify anything with draw and volting. It's merely software and your ACPI." Wow, I'm shocked they told you even this much. When I opened a support ticket to ask what exactly is in the 1.02 BIOS they just said they don't know. I don't know, I want to install 1.06 to hopefully get rid of the last remaining coil whine(I've given up hope that they can fix the speaker crackle without a hardware fix though), but yeah if the CPU performance is degraded even further then I don't know. I already have 1.02 EC but I'm still using the 1.01 BIOS.

Razer 15 240/2080 Charger Question

This is just a guess, but I'd say check if there is a lower wattage power supply with the same connector(maybe there is one for a blade with not quite as much power as your, or for an older blade?) And if there is, it should work with your laptop - it should behave normally with a lower wattage adapter, except that it will start throttling under maximum load.

Razer Blade Stealth(2019) - BIOS 1.06 changelist?

figrin1Bumping this. Still very curious. Yeah, I have a feeling Razer isn't going to tell us. Would you be willing to re-do the performance tests you did for the stealth bible post with the new Bios? That would tell us if Razer has again downgraded the CPU performance or maybe they brought it back up to 1.01 levels while keeping the coil whine to minimum? (Also, thank you so much for writing that post, I'm running my Stealth with most of your recommendations daily)

HP Envy 13: better for half the price?

ventureRubersecret257 You can get the exact same specs as the Stealth for about 800€. MX250 too, which is better than the Stealth's MX150. Same battery size, same weight, same specs, but sooo much cheaper. . Well, there's the crux of the issue, and why specs are misleading. The core value of the Stealth over any laptop on the market is the power allowance given to both the CPU and the GPU, to a level that no one else does. Yes, both laptops have the same CPU - but Stealth will be faster and will be able to operate at higher level of performance for longer because Razer disregarded Intel's recommendation of limiting the TDP to 15W and the CPU actually has 25W headroom. I've had this CPU running at 4.0GHz turbo for hours without any throttling. No one else does this. Same story with the GPU - yes, the MX250 is slightly faster....on paper. Nvidia took the existing card and bumped the clocks a bit, but it's the same card overall. But again, Razer is giving the GPU full 25W of power, that

Power bank?

MonstaghHey! I found this power bank https://www.amazon.co.uk/RAVPower-Upgraded-20100mAh-External-Portable/dp/B07PK8FRHY/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=laptop+power+bank&qid=1563901630&s=gateway&sr=8-11 hopefully this would suit your needs? :) That won't work at all - it can only provide 65W and it will shut down if you try to draw more out of it as a safety measure, which the Blade Pro absolutely will.

New Razer Blade Stealth 2019 UK Owner

One advice - do *not* buy the Anker 7-in-1 adapter for this laptop, there's something about the cable that makes it disconnect when you move it even slightly. I've asked Anker and they replaced it without any fuss, but the replacement does the same thing. I would blame the ports on the laptop but I don't have this issue with any other USB-C cables, nothing disconnects no matter how much I move the cable.

Razer Blade Stealth 2019 trackpad/touchpad Touchpad

mothydulaHey guys, I recently got a 2019 Razer blade stealth and my touchpad has been pretty inconsistent and weird. Clicking and dragging is a pain as a lot of the time, the mouse stops moving when my thumb is resting near the bottom of the pad and I have to lift my pointer finger constantly to get it to move again. And this is with two-finger gesters turned off. When they were turned on, things were worse. Things would zoom in and out and I would accidentally scroll, etc. Working with one finger works perfectly fine. It's just when I'm doing things that require a heavy amount of clicking and dragging and when I feel like resting my thumb on the touchpad that things get frustrating. This seems like a software thing, but I could be wrong. Anyone else dealing with this/has solutions. PS, I've tried the uninstalling and reinstalling drivers thing and things haven't gotten much better. Hi. Not exactly the same, but my touchpad wouldn't react to touch from time to time, mostly when gamin

The all-new Razer Blade Stealth 13

Harlequinheadvision259Hi Skeith, just wondering if you ever found a fix for this? I'm having the same issue, having just received my new laptop... Many Thanks I mean, I found that installing the driver from the Razer support page fixed that issue for me entirely. I know they say "oh just download it from windows update" but that's nonsense, I had to go and download it manually from the support website.

ventureRubersecret257You guys were fast to reply! Thank you very much. :smile_: Do you play with decent graphics, or do you lower them? Does the laptop heat fast? So I've made a video so you can actually see how Starcraft 2 runs and how loud the laptop gets while you play:

The all-new Razer Blade Stealth 13

ventureRubersecret257Hello everyone! I'm interested in this device. I do play games, but not ones that require heavy specs : I only play StarCraft II and Hearthstone, and I don't intend on playing anything else. Do you recommand the Stealth with MX150 for this, or is the device still too weak in your opinion? It's absolutely fine for those games ;-) I've been playing Division 2 on mine(in 1080p and low/medium details) and it can maintain locked 30fps without any issues. Apex Legends works fine and runs at 40-50fps at medium settings in 1080p. Forza Horizon 4 runs at locked 30fps with everything set to High. I can try Starcraft 2 if you want me to, but I think it should be absolutely fine.

The all-new Razer Blade Stealth 13

QuikieHas anyone successfully updated their 2019 Stealth to the 1.02 bios? Just got mine today, no whine, no light bleed. It just hangs at 99%. I have installed every update besides that. Yeah I can't install it either. I opened a support case wit razer, they said I need to restore my entire system to factory settings and then retry the update - uhmmmmm no thanks Razer, I'm not reinstalling my entire system just to apply a bios update. Especially with the reports that 1.02 actually lowers the CPU performance. The coil whine disappears entirely for me with turbo disabled, and that's how I run the system, using Throttlestop to disable turbo - then enable it again when I'm gaming, but for day-to-day use I just have it off. Also, I don't know how many of you have noticed - the speakers crackling issue never fully goes away. Yes, with the latest drivers it's not there.......except when you have some very quiet sound playing - then the speakers are very clearly crackling again. I suspect w

Razer Blade Stealth 13 2019 crazy loud coil whine

After leaving the laptop for ~10 hours, it still hasn't finished updating the BIOS. The mouse and keyboard are still locked. Please advise what to do next urgently.

Razer Blade Stealth 13 2019 crazy loud coil whine

Edit: Ok, after following the link it turns out I didn't have BIOS 1.02. When I ran the updater it said that it will upgrade my BIOS from 1.01 to 1.02. So I ran the updater.....and the progress bar got to the end, and now appears stuck? It's been at 100% for 15 minutes now with nothing happening. What do I do now? Edit2: This is not my videos, but it does the exact same thing as for this guy:

Razer Blade Stealth 13 2019 crazy loud coil whine

Hi RedPanda! Of course - here's a video I just took: To add to this - the sound persists no matter if the laptop is plugged in or not, but it's louder when plugged in. Selecting Creator Mode/Balanced/Low Power in Synapse has no impact on the sound - it's always there. However, I have found a suggestion that "fixes" it - using ThrottleStop and disabling TurboBoost on the CPU gets rid of that sound entirely! However, that is not a "fix" in that without TurboBoost the CPU is limited to 2.0GHz and therefore much slower than acceptable. So if you do have a BIOS update that could fix it, it would be really appreciated!
