Razer Blade Stealth Updated With OLED Option

If you are looking to game on the go, gaming laptops are where it’s at and Razer has actually given its Razer Blade Stealth 13 an update in terms of hardware. Gamers will now be able to get the latest generation of processors from Intel, as well as the option of equipping their laptop with a touchscreen OLED display.

On the processor front, gamers can now expect to see the use of Intel’s Core i7-1165G7, making the laptop even more powerful than its predecessor. There will also be the inclusion of an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650Ti GPU that’s accompanied by 16GB of RAM and 512GB of storage, with Razer claiming that the updated laptop is apparently 2.7 times faster when it comes to content creation, and more than 20% faster when it comes to office productivity.

The addition of the OLED screen is interesting, but in a good way. OLED displays tend to offer better colors than LCD as they are richer and more saturated, which some might prefer, although some argue that these saturated colors might not be as ideal when it comes to editing photos or videos. However, Razer claims that this display will cover 100% of the DCI-P3 space, so it could still be useful for content creators who need accurate colors.

Last but not least, Razer has also given the laptop an upgrade in terms of audio. The updated Razer Blade Stealth 13 will now feature an app from THX that lets users toggle between different audio presets for different purposes, whether it be for music, gaming, or movies. If you’re interested in the laptop, the Razer Blade Stealth 13 will be available this month where it is priced starting at $1,799.

Check It Out, Razer Now Makes Gaming Chairs

Razer makes many gaming peripherals and accessories, like keyboards, mice, headphones, speakers, microphones, and so on. However, it seems that the company is turning its eye towards gaming furniture, or more specifically, gaming chairs as they have officially unveiled their first gaming chair – the Iskur.

Gaming chairs have exploded in popularity over the past couple of years where more gamers and streamers are starting to adopt them, so it doesn’t really come as a surprise to learn that Razer wants in on the action as well. The Iskur is made from high-density foam and uses multi-layered synthetic leather.

There is also a fully-sculpted lumbar support with a texture that some have compared to the underbelly of a snake, which we guess is appropriate given Razer’s mascot. It also features 4D armrests that can be lifted up, pushed down, moved forwards or backups, left, right, and rotated inwards or outwards, giving users plenty of different options to find that sweet spot.

It also features a steel-reinforced body that should make it more sturdy where Razer claims that it will support weights of up to 299lbs/136kg. Unsurprisingly, it doesn’t exactly come cheap where it is priced at $499. If you think that you might benefit from a gaming chair, perhaps the Iskur could be worth checking out.

iPad Air Release Date Could Be Revealed This Tuesday

Last month, Apple announced their latest iPad Air. Apart from confirming the specs and the price, the company stopped short of mentioning when it would be available, which is a bit odd since Apple typically makes their products available about a week or two after it has been announced.

They did mention it would be released in October, but did not say when. However, according to a tweet by leakster Jon Prosser, he claims that Apple will be sharing those release details on the 13th of October, which is when the company will be hosting its iPhone 12 event and where new products will be announced.

While we cannot confirm if this is true, to a certain extent it would make sense as Apple could easily use the event to slot in a release date, so do check back with us in the coming days to see if there are any details to be had.

For those who missed the announcement, the iPad Air is the latest tablet from Apple and comes with a brand new A14 Bionic chipset, a huge improvement over the A12Z that was used in the iPad Pro refresh earlier this year. It is also expected to be the same chipset that will find its way into the iPhone 12 series that will be announced this Tuesday.

iPhone 12 Battery Life Could Be Better Than We Thought

According to the rumors from July, details about the iPhone 12’s batteries were leaked and they did not look particularly promising. It was a bit worrying considering that Apple had made some significant improvements with the iPhone 11, so it was slightly concerning that it seemed that they would be going backwards with the iPhone 12.

However, a last minute rumor from Max Weinbach is claiming that we might not necessarily have much to worry about. His tweet claims that Apple’s iPhone 12 Pro and Pro Max models are expected to actually have a one hour increase in battery life compared to their predecessors, which is good news if true.

Also, Weinbach claims that the battery increase is only expected to be applicable to the Pro models. He notes that the 5.4-inch iPhone 12 mini could have a worse battery life than the iPhone 11, but that’s because of the smaller form factor which means that Apple might not be able to squeeze as big a battery as they would like, although we thought that the smaller display could actually be more energy efficient.

Either way, take it with a grain of salt but Apple is expected to officially announce the details this coming Tuesday, so check back with us for the details.

Sony PS5’s Name Has Been Trademark In India, Except It Wasn’t By Sony

While Sony has been opening up pre-orders for its PS5 around the world, India has oddly been left off the list. Obviously Sony isn’t going to ignore such a massive market such as India, so what’s the deal? As it turns out, it could be a legal issue because it appears that someone in India has trademarked the PS5 name, and it wasn’t Sony.

According to a report from The Mako Reactor, a Delhi resident by the name of Hitesh Awani had actually filed for the trademark for the PS5 name back in October 2019, based on public records. This would have effectively prevented Sony from using the name, which would be problematic if they wanted to launch the console in India.

However, it seems that Sony is already working on trying to get it sorted where the trademark application has been marked as “Opposed”, suggesting that Sony might have filed for some kind of request to get the name back. We’re not sure if this can be completed in time, but until it does, it looks like the PS5’s launch in India could be delayed.

It’s actually kind of surprising that Sony did not catch this earlier, or did not trademark the name in advance. After all, back in 2019 a trademark filing was spotted for the PS brand going up to the PS10. Either way, we’ll have to wait and see how this is resolved.
