[Redaktion]

The Blade Stealth's most outstanding feature is the external Razer Core GPU dock that can be outfitted with almost any desktop graphics card.

Typo: "is powered by Intel Core i7-6500U *quad-core* processor".
The i7-6500U processor is a  Dual-Core.

They had the exact idea i've been looking for, but i need a bigger screen and faster cpu.  Gaming on 12" seems kind of limiting, and wouldn't the cpu become a bottleneck on anything beyond a midrange gpu?  upgrade to a 17.3" 4k and faster CPU and they've got a buyer.

I definetely don't agree. What's the point of having a big 17,3" laptop where you have space to put a GTX 980?
This is not their idea, it wouldn't be interesting at all.

The point of this machine is to get a real ultrabook (like MacBook Air, XPS 13, etc.) so you can work with it a whole day, have something very light that you can bring everywhere. But when you come home and want to play real games, you connect it to the external GPU AND to an external screen (I think without an external monitor it's can of useless), and then you get a gaming PC + a real ultrabook.


Now I'd like to ast, do you know if the external dock is going to work with other ultrabooks with usb-c / thunderbolt 3? It could really be interesting with my XPS 13...

This razor core and the newly announced asus rog xg2 should in theory both be compatible with any thunderbolt 3 enabled laptops... Which sounds awesome :D

"the Blade Stealth's most outstanding feature is the external Razer Core GPU dock that can be outfitted with almost any desktop graphics card (TDP up to 375 W)"

is it (Razer external GPU Dock) compatible to run Nvidia Quadro series?

very beautiful and portable machine.
good job well done Razer,
but wait
DUAL CORE PROCESSOR!!!!!
seriously razer????
thats really a bullshit guys. dual core processor for gaming machine.

Dual core ULV for ultrabook, that's the idea. Should be enough for decent full HD gaming. Don't think dual core without adding ultrabook into the equation.
