For years, Razer has made some of the best gaming laptops on the market.

In short, Razer makes the best-looking gaming laptops on the market.

The Razer Book aims to be a Razer Blade on the outside and a Dell XPS 13 on the inside — and it mostly succeeds.

Razer has made an excellent laptop with performance rivaling that of the top Windows clamshells on the market.

On the outside, the Razer Book 13 borrows many of the Blade Stealth 13’s signature features.

This is also a big advantage the Razer Book has over the XPS 13 and MacBook Pro, both of which have comparably limited selections.

This makes the screen taller than the 16:9 panels you’ll find on the Blade (and on almost all dedicated gaming laptops).

There’s one area where the Razer Book solidly beats the XPS, and that’s performance.

In real-world performance, the Razer Book also shines.

While the Book 13 is decidedly not a gaming laptop, it is a Razer-branded product, so some might wonder how it games.

To start using the Razer Book 13, you’ll need to agree to the following:.

The Razer Book averaged 142fps on Rocket League’s maximum setting without dipping below 125; the XPS put up 111fps with a minimum of 100.

The Razer Book beat the XPS on the more demanding Overwatch at Ultra settings, averaging 65fps to the XPS’s 48fps.

That’s significant because it means you could feasibly play Tomb Raider in 1080p on the Razer Book, which would be unpleasant to do on the XPS.

That result also makes clear that — to reiterate — despite aesthetic similarity, this laptop is not a Blade.

The Razer Book 13 has a lot of things going for it, especially for Razer fans.

But that’s not where the Razer Book makes its case.

You can get a few hours more battery life from a number of laptops in the Razer Book’s class (including the XPS 13) and significantly more storage as well

Ultimately, the Razer Book 13 is an impressive new laptop from Razer with a lot to like, and I’m sure many customers will be happy with it
