Razer Blade Stealth 2019 vs Dell XPS 13 (2019)

[cugalord]

Hi!

 

I am having a hard time to choose a laptop. I will mostly use it for coding so I want something portable and light. I have been choosing between the blade stealth and the XPS 13. I like the blade because it has a dedicated graphics card, but I am concerned about the quality of the product since razer laptops had some issues. I also care a bit about the keyboard. I would order a spec around 1500-1600 $.

 

Thanks for the answers!

If you're using it for coding, I think a good keyboard, trackpad, and battery life will top performance. Maybe consider a Thinkpad Carbon X1?

Yes, but the x1 carbon is expensive

What about the Huawei Matebook X Pro? Newegg has it as well as the Razer Blade Stealth on an OpenBox offer for almost the same price.

Maybe a used one? You could probably get a 4th or 5th gen with an i7 for your budget. I got my 4th gen with an i5, 8GB of RAM, and a 128GB NVMe SSD for less than 700 CAD and it's in almost brand new condition.

Isn't better to buy just the blade stealth then?

Tnx for the answer
