SeekerRazer Book 13
The Razer Book 13 is a sturdy productivity notebook with a 16:10 display and long battery life. But it's not distinguished from Razer's gaming laptops, and unless you get the 4K version, the storage is anemic.

The only non-gaming laptop in Razer's lineup, the Razer Book 13 is a sleek and compact machine that reaches the very top tier of ultraportables in terms of design, performance, and features.

Razer, best known for its Blade gaming laptops, has made its first foray into the productivity space. We tested the Razer Book 13, powered by Intel’s Core i7-1165G7, Iris Xe integrated graphics, and 16GB of RAM. All in all, it’s a great laptop — but it doesn’t quite take our top spot.

The Razer Book 13 is Razer's first productivity laptop and given the company's reputation as one of the premier gaming system and peripheral makers, their first Ultrabook for the office has no right being this good. From its excellent starting price, to its performance, to its incredible design and build quality, our only complaints are that its battery life falls just short of being the best-in-class and it can run a little hot, so we can't outright call it perfect.

If you like Razer products and want something that you plan on using for normal day to day tasks, the Razer Book 13 is a pretty nice choice. The main highlights are the screen options, solid performance for what this is, long battery life, good input devices, and the excellent build quality. At the same time, this is an expensive ultrabook, especially the 4K model, and not without some quirks. I'll get in-depth in the review down below.

The Razer Book 13 is one of the most powerful Windows Ultrabooks available, flaunting some serious style with its skinny screen bezel. But the extravagant price for this laptop is hard to swallow, especially with stingy SSD storage and the omission of a fingerprint scanner.
