Durum
Kalite, doku ve sertlik açısından, Kitap 13, aynı metal malzemeleri kullandıkları için Blade Stealth ile özdeştir. Blade'in hissini ve tasarımını seviyorsanız, Kitap 13 hayal kırıklığına uğramayacak. Book 13 ile Blade Stealth arasındaki en büyük kasa farkı yeni menteşelerde yatıyor. Razer, alt çerçevenin kalınlığını artırmadan yeni ekran en boy oranı için bunları yeniden tasarlamak zorunda kaldı. Sonuç, menteşelerin tabanın altına sıkıştırıldığı ve tabanın kendisinin açıldığında hafifçe kalkacağı ZenBook S'ye benzer. Menteşe sertliği, Blade Stealth'ten daha iyi veya daha kötü hissettirmiyor, ancak ünitemizdeki açıları ayarlarken hafif bir gıcırtı fark ettik. 140 derecelik maksimum açı, zevklerimiz için de biraz sığdır.
Blade Stealth, halihazırda piyasadaki en küçük 13 inçlik dizüstü bilgisayarlardan biridir ve Kitap 13, ekran boyutunu küçültmeye gerek kalmadan daha da küçük olarak eğilimi sürdürmektedir. Boyutları, biraz daha kalın (15,2 mm'ye karşı 14,8 mm) ve daha ağır (1,3 kg'ya karşı 1,4 kg) olmak üzere XPS 13'e çok yakındır.
Bağlantı
Kitap 13, USB-C, Thunderbolt, tam boyutlu HDMI, 3,5 mm ses, MicroSD okuyucu ve USB-A'yı hiçbir dizi takılı olmadan entegre ettiğinden, bağlantı noktası seçenekleri çoğu subnotebook'tan daha iyidir. Rakip subnotebook'ların çoğu, sahiplerini dongle veya adaptör kullanmaya zorlayacak bir veya daha fazla subnotebooktan yoksun. Blade Stealth bile HDMI veya MicroSD okuyucuya sahip değil, çünkü Razer, Kitap 13 sahiplerinin kameralardan fotoğraf ve video aktarma olasılığının daha yüksek olduğunu biliyor.

Bakım
Alt panelin çıkarılması için bir T5 Torx anahtarı gerekir. Ancak, pil ve M.2 SSD dışında yükseltilecek veya servis edilecek çok şey yoktur.
Aksesuarlar ve Garanti
Perakende kutusu, normal AC adaptörü ve evrak işlerine ek olarak küçük bir kadife mendil ve bir Razer logo çıkartması içerir. Üretici, Razer Core eGPU yerleştirme istasyonuyla da tam uyumluluk vaat ediyor. Bir yıllık garanti, daha geleneksel iş dizüstü bilgisayarlarında üç yıla kıyasla standart olarak geliyor.
Giriş cihazları
Klavye: Book 13 klavyesi, genel boyut ve anahtar geribildirimi açısından Blade Stealth ile aynıdır. Anahtar başına RGB Chroma arka ışığı bile, bunu böyle bir özelliğe sahip bildiğimiz tek üretkenlik alt not defteri yapmak için mevcut. Bir yandan, Kitap 13'e yazmak doğal ve tanıdık geleceği için mevcut Blade Stealth sahipleri için mükemmeldir. Öte yandan, sığ seyahat ve zayıf anahtar geri bildirimlerinin hayranları değiliz. HP Spectre, EliteBook, ThinkPad ve MateBook X Pro'nun tümü, uzun yazma oturumları için tercih ettiğimiz daha sağlam tuşlara sahiptir.
Dokunmatik yüzey
Clickpad, Blade Stealth ile aynıdır, yani aynı artıları ve eksileri miras alır. Kısacası, bu kadar küçük bir form faktörü için geniş yüzeyi (~ 11,1 x 7 cm) seviyoruz, zayıf ve süngerimsi tıklama geri bildirimi biraz çalışma gerektirebilir. ThinkPad T490 veya HP EliteBook 735 G6 gibi daha geleneksel iş dizüstü bilgisayarları, harici bir fare olmadığında kullanımı daha kolay ve daha doğru bulduğumuz özel fare düğmelerini hala entegre ediyor.
Görüntüle
Tahmin ettiğimiz gibi Kitap 13, Dell XPS 13 9300 / 9310'da bulunanla aynı veya çok benzer Sharp LQ134N1 IPS panelini kullanıyor. Aslında, her iki dizüstü bilgisayar da neredeyse aynı maksimum parlaklık seviyelerini ve hatta düşük parlaklık ayarlarında aynı darbe genişliği modülasyon frekansını paylaşır. Ancak bu ekran XPS 13'ün ve şimdi de Kitap 13'ün öne çıkan bir özelliği olduğundan bu kötü bir şey değil. Renkler göze çarpıyor, metinler net ve mükemmel ilk izlenimler için kontrast yüksek. Ekran aynı zamanda büyük bir neden. Kitap 13 neden bir dizüstü oyun bilgisayarı kadar iyi çalışmıyor? Siyah-beyaz ve gri-gri tepki süreleri, yukarıda bahsedilen mükemmel özelliklere rağmen Blade Stealth'teki ekrandan daha yavaştır. Bu nedenle, Kitap 13 kağıt üzerinde bazı eski Ice Lake veya GeForce MX destekli Blade Stealth SKU'lardan daha güçlü olsa bile oyun sırasında gölgelenme daha belirgindir.

Renk alanı neredeyse tüm sRGB'yi ve Blade Stealth'ten veya çoğu amiral gemisi Ultrabook'tan farklı olarak AdobeRGB'nin yaklaşık yüzde 66'sını kapsar. Bununla birlikte, MacBook Pro 13, AdobeRGB'nin yüzde 77'sini kapsayan daha derin renkler sunabilirken, HP Spectre 15 veya XPS 15'te bulunan bazı daha büyük 4K paneller, tüm AdobeRGB'yi kapsayabilir. Book 13'teki 4K seçeneğinin FHD seçeneğinden daha geniş renk kapsamı sunmadığını belirtmekte fayda var.
X-Rite kolorimetre ölçümleri, ekranın sırasıyla yalnızca 1,3 ve 1,39 ortalama gri tonlama ve renk DeltaE değerleri ve 2,2'lik mükemmel bir gama ile reklamlarda vaat edildiği gibi kutudan çıkar çıkmaz iyi kalibre edildiğini göstermektedir. Paneli kendimiz kalibre etmeye çalışmak, esasen hiçbir değişikliğe yol açmaz.

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)
Screen flickering / PWM detected | 2475 Hz | ≤ 25 % brightness setting | |
The display backlight flickers at 2475 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 25 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 2475 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8715 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. |
Outdoor visibility is a bit better than the Blade Stealth due to the brighter display on the Book 13. Nonetheless, this is negated somewhat by the glossy overlay of the touchscreen. The less expensive matte SKU may fare better in this regard.
Performance
The Book 13 comes with the Intel 11th gen Tiger Lake Core i7-1165G7 CPU or, for the first time ever on a Razer laptop, a lesser Core i5 option as well. The i7-1185G7 or Iris Xe Max, which would have made the laptop even faster, are not available.
RAM is soldered at up to 16 GB of LPDDR4X running at 4267 MHz. Both CPU-Z and HWiNFO report quad-channel memory while Razer's own specifications claim dual-channel only. We'll update this once we've double-checked with Razer.
We set our system to Performance mode via Razer Synapse prior to running any performance benchmarks below. We recommend becoming familiar with Synapse since key system settings can be found here.
Processor
Multi-thread performance is higher than the average Core i7-1165G7 in our database by about 20 percent to edge out even the Core i7-1185G7 in the MSI Prestige 14 Evo. The wide delta can be attributed to the decent Turbo Boost sustainability of the Book 13 as shown by our CineBench R15 xT loop graph below. Interestingly, the recent Blade Stealth with the same Core i7-1165G7 CPU returns lower scores than our Book 13 by about 10 to 15 percent.
Opting for the less expensive Core i5-1135G7 SKU will entail a 15 to 25 percent performance deficit by our estimates. It's too bad that there are no AMD options as the Ryzen 5 4500U, Ryzen 7 4700U, or Ryzen 7 4800U could have been excellent alternatives without needing to sacrifice multi-thread performance.
See our dedicated page on the Core i7-1165G7 for more technical information and benchmark comparisons.

System Performance
PCMark results are slightly higher than the average laptop with the same CPU to edge out the XPS 13 9310 by just a few percentage points. We didn't experience any issues on our test unit save for a Razer Synapse bug where the application would always freeze if disconnected from the Internet after a system boot.

Emissions
System Noise
The system remains silent when browsing or video streaming with no noticeable pulsing behavior. At worse, fan noise would top out at just 29 dB(A) against a background of 27 dB(A) to be essentially inaudible in a typical office or conference room. We're able to record 33 dB(A) when running higher loads like Witcher 3.
If the fan is manually set to maximum via the Synapse software, then fan noise can jump as high as 45 dB(A) to be louder than most other subnotebooks with integrated GPUs. However, we never reached this maximum even whilst benchmarking unless if the fan was manually set this way meaning the internal fans will rarely reach their maximum RPMs when on the default automatic mode.

Temperature
Surface temperatures are slightly warmer than what we recorded on the Ice Lake Blade Stealth. When running high loads for extended periods, hot spots on the top and bottom can be as warm as 34 C to 38 C and 40 C to 43 C, respectively. Temperature gradient is otherwise symmetrical much like on the Blade Stealth. The warmth is noticeable but not distracting since the hot spots are toward the rear away from the palm rests and most of the keyboard keys.
(+) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 39.2 °C / 103 F, compared to the average of 34.3 °C / 94 F, ranging from 21.2 to 62.5 °C for the class Office.
(±) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 44 °C / 111 F, compared to the average of 36.8 °C / 98 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 21.5 °C / 71 F, compared to the device average of 29.5 °C / 85 F.
(+) Playing The Witcher 3, the average temperature for the upper side is 28 °C / 82 F, compared to the device average of 29.5 °C / 85 F.
(+) The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 31 °C / 87.8 F and are therefore cool to the touch.
(-) The average temperature of the palmrest area of similar devices was 27.6 °C / 81.7 F (-3.4 °C / -6.1 F).
Stress Test
When stressed with Prime95, the CPU would boost to 3.8 GHz for the first few seconds until hitting a core temperature of 79 C. Thereafter, clock rates would drop and stabilize at the 2.5 to 2.7 GHz range in order to maintain a cooler core temperature of 60 C. In comparison, running this same test on the Core i7 XPS 13 9310 would cause clock rates to fall and cycle to as low as 1.9 GHz with even warmer core temperatures reaching 78 C. In other words, the Book 13 is able to run both faster than cooler than on the XPS 13 when the processor is stressed which backs up our CineBench R15 xT loop test results from above.
Core temperature appears to plateau at 60 C when running high loads similar to what we recorded on the recent Asus ZenBook UX425 equipped with the same CPU.
CPU performance drops slightly if running on battery power. A 3DMark 11 test on batteries would return Physics and Graphics scores of 10608 and 6973 points, respectively, compared to 12384 and 6812 points when on mains. Note that the Synapse "Performance" power profile becomes grayed out when not on mains.

Energy Management
Power Consumption
Idling on desktop consumes just 3 W on the minimum brightness level up to 7 W if brightness is set to maximum. The high performance-per-watt of Tiger Lake becomes obvious when comparing power consumption to the GeForce MX150-powered Blade Stealth. Gaming, for example, consumes about 37 W on the Book 13 compared to 64 W on the GeForce MX Blade Stealth even though the Book 13 offers both faster CPU and GPU performance.
We're able to measure a maximum consumption of 53.7 W from the small (~10.8 x 3.5 x 2.7 cm) 65 W AC adapter. This rate lasts for only 20 seconds when Turbo Boost clock rates are highest before they both eventually fall due to thermal soak. This can also be observed during our Prime95 stress test as noted above.

Battery Life
Though battery capacity is almost the same as on the Blade Stealth (55 Wh vs. 53 Wh), runtimes are much longer on the Book 13. We were able to squeeze almost 15 hours of WLAN use from a full charge to be a few hours more than what we recorded on both of the XPS 13 or Blade Stealth when under similar WLAN conditions.
Charging from empty to full capacity takes about 1.5 hours with the included AC adapter. We appreciate the fact that there are USB-C ports along both edges of the laptop meaning you can recharge from either side as opposed to most other Ultrabooks.

Verdict
Slap the 16:10 display from the Dell XPS 13 onto a Razer Blade Stealth and you'll essentially have the Book 13. The new Razer laptop incorporates the best of both worlds and with a stronger emphasis on performance and visual style than the Dell alternative. The fact that it uses the same Core i7-1165G7 processor as the XPS 13 and is able to run it 20 to 30 percent faster shows how well Razer has optimized the chassis for Intel's new 11th gen platform. It's slightly heavier and thicker than the Dell, but the extra horsepower, additional ports, and stronger design might be worth it to many users.
On the flip side, the Book 13 skips over a handful of common security features including support for a fingerprint reader and a Kensington lock. You're also not going to find any advanced vPro or handsfree sign-in options that are available on the Latitude 7400 or HP EliteBook x360 1030 G7. The RGB-lit keys, while visually appealing, have weaker feedback than the keys on most other business-class subnotebooks. Call us old school, but dedicated mouse buttons and wider hinge angles like on most Lenovo ThinkPads ultimately feel more ergonomic when on the road. If your priorities are to have the best-looking and fastest 13-inch laptop in the office over such auxiliary features, however, then the Book 13 proudly fulfills that niche.
The Razer Book 13 is a stellar Intel Evo laptop with the performance and connectivity to back up its sharp looks. It's missing a few security features here and there while the shallow keyboard keys and spongy clickpad aren't as good as most traditional business laptops.
