During CES 2016 show in Las Vegas, Razer has unveiled its newest Razer Blade Stealth notebook, a 12.5-inch ultrabook packed in an aluminum chassis that gets its additional power from an optional external graphics system, called the Razer Core, which connects to the notebook via Thunderbolt 3 port.
The Razer Blade Stealth notebook itself is quite a decent system on its own as it is based on a 12.5-inch IPS touchscreen with either 2560x1440 or 3840x2160 resolution, depending on your choice, Intel's Core i7-6500U CPU, 8GB of RAM and a PCI-Express SSD. What it lacks is a decent graphics card and that is where the Razer Core comes in.
The Razer Core is an external graphics card system that connects to the Razer Blade Stealth via Thunderbolt 3 interface. It has its own 500W PSU and can support a dual-slot PCI-Express graphics card drawing up to 375W of power. It also comes with four USB 3.0 ports and an Ethernet port.
The Razer Blade Stealth notebook starts at US $999 with a 1440p screen and a 128GB SSD while the 2160p option with 512GB SSD goes up to US $1,599.
Unfortunately, Razer did not reveal any details regarding the price of the Razer Core external graphics card system but hopefully we will hear more about it soon.
