I'm interested in the Razer Blade Stealth, however, since there is little known about the Razer Core yet I am left wary about the product.

The Razer Blade Stealth has 8GB of RAM, I know this is OK for gaming for now, but I do not know how long 8GB of RAM will be OK for, in terms of years before it becomes out-dated. Since this is a lot of money for me (I'm 17 and have a reasonably well paying part-time job) I want this machine to last me a long time, this is why the fact that the RAM is soldered on and is unchangeable worries me.

There is also the fact that the Razer Core is connected to the Laptop via a Thunderbolt 3 cable, which transfers data at 40 Gbps (I think) which supposedly, I have only read this online so don't hold me to it, is a lot slower than the speed at which directly attached Graphics cards work at. So how will this impact the gaming side of the Razer blade stealth?

Thanks

I think both of those will be fine- the graphics card doesn't nearly use all of the bandwidth of pcie gen 3, so you will be fine in that respect. Ram will likely be fine for several more years- 16gbs is preferable but for gaming it is a minor concern, and shouldnt change in the next few years, by then the processor could do with an upgrade, where you could do the same to the ram. You will get a great gaming performance compared to a desktop, but you should wait for it to be reviewed properly and conclusively before buying.
