The Razer Blade Stealth Laptop Merges Product Verticals at CES 2016

Being that the laptop is coveted by users as being an efficient way to bring a computer anywhere, the Razer Blade Stealth laptop is designed as such, but with upgradeable functionality. Aside from being able to use the laptop itself, users can pair the Razer Blade Stealth with an external desktop solution to supercharge graphics and functionality for a symbiotic product to satisfy all needs and wants.

The desktop add-on -- known at the Razer Core -- is able to be connected to bring additional power when needed and disconnected when not. Packing touchscreen capabilities and 4K resolution, the Razer Blade Stealth laptop packs 8GB of RAM and can be customized to have either 128GB or 512GB of storage on a solid-state drive.
