Reviews for the Razer Blade 14 Ryzen 9 RTX 3060
Source: Toptenreviews
Razer’s first 14in laptop gets plenty right – the RTX 3060 is a rock-solid mainstream gaming chip, and the AMD processor is quick and versatile. The familiar design is robust and good-looking, the keyboard is crisp and connection options are good. The Blade isn’t infallible though. Battery life is middling, larger keyboards are more satisfying, and the Blade is pricier than the marginally slower Asus. These compromises aren’t surprising in this form factor, though, and they’re not deal-breakers. This is an excellent small laptop, and well worth buying if you want a compact, portable gaming machine.

The Razer Blade 14 has the performance to handle any modern game, plus the CPU grunt to tackle content creation. It’s slim, light and good-looking, with a superb screen and responsive keyboard. So if you want a small and capable gaming machine, the Blade ticks many boxes. But it’s not perfect. Larger laptops extract more speed from the same components and the Blade sometimes runs too hot. Razer’s machine is expensive, too: these components can be found cheaper, albeit in chunkier portables. Its arch rival, the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, is better if you want a 14in gaming notebook with lengthier battery life, but it suffers in many of the same areas as the Blade – and it doesn’t cost any less. Plenty of people will be happy to pay the price for this level of power in such a slim and portable package. But be aware of what’s available elsewhere.

The Blade 14 starts at $1,800 with an RTX 3060 and a 1080p 144Hz screen. Given that price point, I'd recommend the Blade 15 for most shoppers. You'd get a larger screen, more customizable and faster hardware, as well as fewer thermal restrictions. And when it comes to 14-inch competition, the ASUS Zephyrus G14 is another solid choice (though I'd give Razer the upper hand when it comes to long-term reliability). Still, there’s a lot to love about the Blade 14. More so than the overpriced Blade Stealth 13, this new model is a light laptop that'll satisfy most of your hardware demands. So if you're in love with the idea of a sub-four-pound Blade, and don't mind the compromises involved, then go with the gaming gods.

The slim, light design does mean that the graphics card and processor don’t reach their full potential, though, and the Blade is sometimes hot and loud. Gaming battery life is an afterthought, and the small form factor does mean compromises to the keyboard layout. The Blade 14 is also premium-priced as expected. The RTX 3060-based Razer arrives at $1,799, but you can buy an Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with a nearly-identical processor and graphics core for around $1,549. And if you don’t need a 14-inch display, then larger 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch laptops with an even faster GPU can often cost less. The Razer Blade 14 is not perfect, but it crams an awful lot of gaming and application power into a small, stylish, high-quality build. If you’re a fan of Razer’s sleek design and want a compact gaming notebook then this is certainly worth buying.

There are hardly any tablets in this display size range anymore. For subnotebooks, on the other hand, it is the standard format.
The advantage of subnotebooks is that the entire laptop can be small and therefore easily portable. The smaller display also has the advantage of requiring less power, which further improves battery life and thus mobility. The disadvantage is that reading texts is more strenuous on the eyes. High resolutions are more likely to be found in standard laptops.
