Razer Launches New Razer Book 13, Competition for MacBook Arrives

Built for mobility, the Razer Book 13 was carved from a single block of aluminum making it nimble yet durable, then anodized with a mercury white finish to give it a touch of class and an extra layer of scratch resistance. The Razer Book 13 is a compact companion, weighing in at under 3 lbs. and only .6” thin, it moves effortlessly from job to job. The keyboard features per-key Razer Chroma RGB backlighting that can be customized to highlight essential keys or to add a touch of personality.

Lining the sides of the keyboard are two booming speakers powered with smart amp technology and featuring THX Spatial Audio for rich immersive 360-degree sound. THX Spatial Audio is also available for listening over 3.5mm headphones. Upfront and center is an expansive glass touchpad with Windows Precision Drivers to make every click and swipe, smooth and accurate.

Inside the ultra-compact 13-inch notebook is the latest 11th Gen Intel Core processor, up to the Intel Core i7-1165G7 in select models, capable of up to 4.7GHz clock speeds with Intel Turbo Boost.

With the new Intel Core processor comes the new and improved Iris Xe integrated graphics, capable of creating beautiful immersive worlds for users to sink their eyes into.
