Razer Blade 14 2024 laptop review: Futureproofing with Ryzen AI
Since the 2023 Blade 14 was already a significant update to the 2022 model, the latest 2024 model is a relatively minor update over the 2023 model. The newest version replaces the "Phoenix" Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU on the 2023 model with the "Hawk Point" Ryzen 9 8945HS. Otherwise, nearly everything else about the 2024 model remains the same as the 2023 model and so we recommend checking out our review on the 2023 model to learn more about the physical features of the Blade 14.
Our test unit is the highest-end configuration equipped with the aforementioned Zen 4 CPU, 32 GB of removable DDR5-5600 RAM, 140 W GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, and 1600p 240 Hz IPS display for approximately $2700 USD. Lesser SKUs ship with the RTX 4060 instead, but all 2024 configurations come with the same Ryzen 9 CPU and display. The Mercury color option is only available with RTX 4070 graphics.
Alternatives to the Blade 14 include other 14-inch gaming laptops like the Lenovo Legion Slim 5 14, Acer Predator Triton 14, Dell Alienware x14, or the popular Asus Zephyrus G14.

Communication
The wireless module has been upgraded from the Qualcomm WCN685x to the Qualcomm FastConnect 7800 for Wi-Fi 7 compatibility. The vast majority of users will not benefit from the new features of the chip since Wi-Fi 7 routers are not yet commonplace. Thus, its inclusion is more about future-proofing for when or if owners decide to upgrade their home networks to Wi-Fi 7.
We experienced no connectivity issues or instability when paired to our Asus AXE11000 Wi-Fi 6E test router.
Webcam
Maintenance
There are no major internal differences between the 2024 and 2023 models.
Display — IPS For Gaming And Content Creation
Interestingly, the panel on this year's Blade 14 model is different than on last year's model (TL140ADXP04-0 vs. B140QAN06.U). The new panel is slightly dimmer when measured with our colorimeter, but everything else including the fast response times, full DCI-P3 colors, 240 Hz refresh rate, and ~1300:1 contrast ratio remain essentially the same for a similar year-over-year viewing experience.
Note that FreeSync Premium is supported but not G-Sync just like on last year's model.

All units come pre-calibrated to better exploit the wide color coverage of the panel. Our particular unit has an average grayscale and color deltaE value of just 1.6 and 2.23, respectively, against the P3 standard as shown by our CalMAN results below. An end-user calibration is therefore not necessary for most users.

Performance
Testing Conditions
We set the system to Turbo mode and dGPU mode via the pre-installed Synapse software prior to running the benchmarks below. Performance decreases if set to Balanced mode as detailed in the GPU Performance section.
New to Synapse this year is the MUX toggle whereas the older version on the 2023 model had no such option. The power profiles have also been streamlined with a new "Turbo" option instead of individual settings for the CPU and GPU.
Processor — Ryzen 9 7940HS In Disguise
The Ryzen 9 8945HS is a rebranded Ryzen 9 7940HS at its core. Both processors target similar clock rates with identical caches sizes and core count manufactured under the same Zen 4 platform. Thus, it's not surprising that CPU-intensive benchmarks produce nearly identical scores across the board for both processors. For traditional tasks like video encoding, file compression, or gaming, the 2024 Blade 14 holds only marginal advantages over the 2023 model at best.
The main difference between the Ryzen 9 8945HS and 7940HS instead lies in the faster integrated NPU on the newer processor to enable Windows Studio Effects such as webcam automatic framing, eye contact correction, and background blurring. However, such features have been available on Intel-based laptops for at least a year and so they aren't exactly new. The automatic framing also doesn't pair well with the low resolution 2 MP webcam on the Razer; HP offers the same feature but with a higher resolution 5 MP webcam for clearer panning and zooming.
Other than Windows Studio Effects, the integrated NPU in the Ryzen 9 8945HS should also be able to run Microsoft Co-Pilot locally instead of relying on cloud and internet connectivity. Results would be produced almost instantaneously in this way as opposed to several seconds on older processors. Unfortunately, Co-Pilot as of this writing is completely cloud based with no option to run locally or offline meaning you can't even use the fancy new NPU for what it was designed to do. This is expected to change in the future when AI applications mature, of course, but the NPU as of early 2024 is extremely limited.

Stress Test
When looking closer at the real-time vitals of the system, we can see why the GPU in the 2024 model consistently outperforms the 2023 model even though both utilize the same RTX 4070 graphics. The GPU in the newer Blade 14 would stabilize at a higher TGP of 114 W compared to just 87 W on last year's model when running games on Turbo mode. Both GPU clock rates (2550 MHz vs. 2310 MHz) and core temperature (76 C vs. 67 C) are consequently higher on the newer model. Dropping down to Balanced mode would lower the TGP and GPU clock rate just slightly to 103 W and 2475 MHz, respectively, but both temperature and fan noise are lowered as well for a quieter gaming experience.
Note that while Razer advertises a maximum TGP of 140 W, this target is unsustainable in most conditions. Instead, a constant GPU power of 114 W when gaming is a more accurate expectation of the 2024 Blade 14.
The Ryzen 9 8945HS CPU would stabilize at nearly the same core clock rates, temperature, and package power as the Ryzen 9 7940HS on last year's model when running Prime95 stress. The results complement our CineBench observations above where both processors would return nearly identical performance numbers. Turbo Core clock rate, temperature, and power draw would peak at 4.7 GHz, 97 C, and 90 W, respectively, only for the first few seconds of the stress test before falling and stabilizing at slightly lower values as shown in the table below.
CPU Clock (GHz) | GPU Clock (MHz) | Average CPU Temperature (°C) | Average GPU Temperature (°C) | |
System Idle | -- | -- | 46 | 45 |
Prime95 Stress | 4.4 | -- | 87 | 49 |
Prime95 + FurMark Stress | 4.1 | 1980 | 90 | 75 |
Witcher 3 Stress (Turbo mode) | ~1.1 | 2550 | 81 | 76 |
Witcher 3 Stress (Balanced mode) | ~0.8 | 2475 | 59 | 69 |
System Performance
PCMark results are within single-digit percentage points of the 2023 model to show that everyday tasks like browsing and light editing are not noticeably faster on the latest model. RAM performance is consistently faster than before, however, which can help boost gaming performance even if just marginally.
