At this week’s IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, Razer is announcing three refreshed Late 2019 versions of its 13-inch Blade Stealth gaming laptops. Promising a significant performance improvement from the last generation, the all-new Stealth models feature Intel’s 10th-generation Ice Lake processors under the hood. Higher-end versions also boast the GTX 1650 graphics card as standard — a first for a laptop of this size.

All of Razer’s new 13-inch Blade Stealth gaming laptops will ship in late September or early October with the Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor and 16GB of fixed RAM as standard. The ultrathin and ultralight design is unchanged from previous models. Pricing on a base model with this processor starts at $1,500. Separately introduced models with an FHD display and GTX 1650 graphics with 4GB of GDDR5 VRAM— or a 4K touch display and GTX 1650 graphics — will retail for $1,800, and $2,000, respectively.

Rivaling the early-2019 model with MX150 graphics, Razer’s new “Mercury White” model of the Blade Stealth will ship with the Core i7 processor and Intel’s Iris Plus integrated graphics. It features a total of 256 GB of storage and, considering the gaming enhancements delivered with Ice Lake, could be an excellent choice for light games like Overwatch. It also is being marketed as the model with the longest battery life.

The middle-range model of the new Blade Stealth gaming laptop, meanwhile, features an FHD matte display, as well as the Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor and GTX 1650 graphics. As for storage, it comes with a 512 GB PCIe SSD. This powerful graphics card is typically found in 15-inch laptops and has never been seen in a 13-inch laptop before. This likely will make the Blade Stealth an excellent choice for more demanding titles like Battlefield V. 

The higher-end model with a 4K touch display features the same 512 GB of storage and the Intel Core i7-1065G7 processor, as well as GTX 1650 graphics from the midrange model. Its display, however, offers slightly more vibrant images when compared to the FHD model. All feature 2 USB-C ports, and 2 USB-A ports, as well as WiFi , and Bluetooth 5.0

These new Blade Stealth models will join Razer’s expansive gaming lineup. That includes the thin and powerful Razer Blade 15, as well as the Razer Blade Pro 17, which is marketed as the “ultimate desktop replacement.”

How to set an ‘Out of Office’ message in Microsoft Teams
Person using Windows 11 laptop on their lap by the window.

Many people use Microsoft Teams regularly to communicate with colleagues both inside of the office and remotely. It is considered one of the most efficient ways to ensure you can stay in contact with the people on your team, but what if you need to let people know you’re not readily available? Microsoft Teams has a method for you to set up an "Out of Office" status for your profile to let staff members know when you’ll be gone for the afternoon, for several days on vacation, or for an extended period.
Where do I go to set up my ‘Out of Office’ status for Teams?
It is important to note that your Microsoft Teams and Outlook calendars are synced. This includes your out-of-office status and automatic replies. So, whatever you set up in Microsoft Teams will reflect in Outlook. Similarly, you can set up your out-of-office status in Outlook, and it will be reflected in Teams; however, the former has a more straightforward instruction.

First, you can click on your profile icon in Teams and go directly to Schedule an out of office, as a shortcut. This will take you to the settings area where you can proceed. You can also click the three-dot icon next to your profile icon, then go to Settings > General, then scroll down to the bottom of the page. There, you'll find out-of-office settings and click Schedule.
