Razer's 12.5-inch Blade Stealth set out to reimagine thin and light Ultrabooks earlier this year, and it did. The company's now refreshing the Windows 10 machine with a seventh-generation Intel Core i7 processor and longer battery life. The Blade Stealth still starts at $999 in the U.S. and is available immediately from Razer's online store, and on Amazon and Microsoft stores from later this month.

The screen's still the same 12.5-inch touchscreen available in QHD resolution (2,560 x 1,440 pixels) and UHD 4K (3,840 x 2,160 pixels), with 100 percent Adobe RGB color saturation on the latter.

Here's all the new stuff you get: Seventh-generation Intel Core i7-7500U Dual-Core Processor (2.7GHz/3.5GHz), Intel HD Graphics 620 graphics, 128GB/256GB/512GB PCIe SSD (QHD screen model) or 512GB/1TB PCIe SSD (UHD 4K screen model), up to 16GB of LPDDR3-1866MHz RAM and a larger 53.6 Wh battery that will provide up to 9 hours of battery life (about 15 percent longer than the original Blade Stealth). For ports, it's still got a Thunderbolt 3 USB-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, HDMI and headphone jack. Image: razer Image: razer Performance upgrades

SINGAPORE — Another day, another Pokémon Go-related drama. On Sunday, Singapore's minister for communications and information, Yaacob Ibrahim, told reporters that he had serious concerns about the hit game and suggested that it should be closely monitored. According to Ibrahim, the game risks having a negative impact on Singapore's society, and it was therefore necessary that the government "study very, very carefully whatever is brought into Singapore." People are obviously not happy with this sentiment. Following Ibrahim's comments, Tan Min-Liang, CEO of gaming company Razer, took to Facebook to post a lengthy rant. In his post, Tan criticised the government for its "schizophrenic" approach towards the gaming industry in the country. He went on to describe how such attitudes that belong "in the 19th century" needed to change in order to make way for creativity in gaming to thrive. "In case you missed it, gaming is an artform, it's also now the biggest medium for creative expression — far outstripping movies and music," he wrote. "And try as you might, you're not going to get very far censoring and banning games willy-nilly because games will always find a way— to game (ba-dum-tss) the system." Pokémon Go still has yet to launch in Singapore, although there have been rumours that it will be dropping sometime this week. The wildly popular game was released in Hong Kong on Monday, making the city the second Asian stop after Japan.
