The irony: uses the first Intel CPU with supposedly decent integrated graphics, "the latest Blade Stealth machines integrate a sophisticated discrete GPU to provide good performance".
Yeah, it's a weird match. Comet Lake has better CPU performance and should be a better companion to the dGPU than Ice Lake, which prioritizes iGPU over CPU.
Still no >100Hz panels???? I chose my T480 w/MX150 over the 2018 model just because of brand serviceability/reliability (Thinpad, not the cheap lineups). But with the 1650 in 13", they got my full attention. 100Hz panel and it's a no-brainer.

is this "chroma" keyboard single zone like the previous generation? Not a fan of RGB everything but I do sort of like it on keyboardsMamiyaOtaru - Wednesday, September 4, 2019 - link
yes, it is single zone, according to https://wccftech.com/razer-introduces-new-razer-bl... . Could live without but that is a tad disappointingmathew7 - Wednesday, September 4, 2019 - link

100% ARGB in what's basically an ultrabook, I haven't seen something like that in many years.skavi - Thursday, September 5, 2019 - link
This is closer in spirit to the original Razer Blade than the current Razer Blade (15")
