After being exclusively Intel for a decade, the Razer Blade series has finally gotten an AMD option that just so happens to outperform any Intel model that came before it. And, in typical Razer fashion, all that power has been condensed into an unbelievably small and portable form factor.

Well, it depends. The Blade 14 (2021) is a solid gaming laptop even with Razer having released an updated version with newer GPUs and a few other improvements. If you’re in need of a laptop upgrade, there’s no shame at all going with the older Blade 14 model. Especially since you can now pick it up for less than what it was when it launched last year. Having said that, if you’re going to pick up the Blade 14 over a similar laptop from another brand, you’re probably best off with the RTX 3060 model, or either of the RTX 3070 models. You can get last year’s with the RTX 3070 or the refresh with the RTX 3070 Ti (it also comes with the Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU as opposed to the 5900HX), priced at $2,199 and $2,599 respectively. Overall, the Blade 14 is pricey but if you want something portable in a 14-inch form factor that still packs a punch, this is the way to go. It’s portable and it’s powerful. Though, if you’re not entirely stuck on the 14-inch size, the Blade 15 might be a better fit. As you’ll get better performance without adding much weight or thickness.

The Razer Blade 14 is a charming little rogue of a laptop. Behind the discreet exterior hides forces that are unmatched in that size. If you need computing power and especially graphic muscles that can be taken anywhere, it is difficult to find a direct competitor. It costs to be in that class, but in terms of performance, the price in no way seems unreasonable.

Like its direct rival from ASUS, the Razer Blade 14 Ryzen finds itself in a unique position among a sea of gaming laptops. It is one of the few laptops currently on the market that can boast having some of the more premium hardware on tap and on top of that, cramming it all into a chassis that is significantly thinner and smaller than conventional laptops. As far as thin and light gaming notebook goes, it is easy to see how Razer has long dominated the market segment, and the Blade 14 Ryzen is a testament that serves to reaffirm the brand’s standing in it. For AMD and its Ryzen 5000 Mobile series, the CPU attached to this machine can be summed up in two words: repeat performance. Despite some minor flaws to the Blade 14 Ryzen’s choice of design – along with the exorbitant price tag – there is little that would dissuade me from recommending this laptop to gamers and, more importantly, long-time Razer fans that are intent on maintaining their loyalty towards the company.

The Razer Blade 14 sits amongst the stars. It doesn’t shine the brightest, but it performs well, and the concessions Razer makes to create a beautiful PC package are reasonable. You won't crank out 160 frames per second in your favorite games using the laptop's native resolution, highest quality settings, and tons of ray tracing, but you'll get great results in all but the most graphically demanding games. Even then, you can always enable Nvidia's DLSS (Deep Learning Super Sampling) technology in a game’s menu to give your frame rates a boost.

Still, that doesn’t mean it’s overpriced for what you’re getting, and there’s a lot to like. After spending time with the system, we can say the build feels premium, and it’s extremely portable, comfortable to use, long-lasting, and plenty powerful for gaming. It’s not the first 14-inch gaming laptop, by far, but it is the first we’ve tested with top-tier power and little compromise. The Alienware m15 is our top pick for prioritizing power; the Razer Blade 15 is our favorite still-portable 15-inch laptop; and the Acer Predator Triton 300 SE is the best budget-friendly 14-inch system. And now, the Razer Blade 14 is our favorite portability-first powerhouse. It doesn’t seize any of those niche crowns away from the other three but establishes its own kingdom, earning an Editors’ Choice award on terms it defines.

I’ll come right out and say it – the Razer Blade 14 really blows me away. To have this kind of performance come out of a 14-inch form factor that is under 4 lbs, is pretty awesome by itself. Add in the fact that it doesn’t throttle under load, is built well, has a nice screen and trackpad, and even has decent battery life? Amazing! Of course, all these add up to a hefty price tag, and cramming powerful hardware inside this kind of format does lead to high chassis temperatures and loud fans in sustained demanding noise.

The Blade 14 has a large vapor chamber for cooling, a Razer Chroma per key RGB backlit keyboard and it weighs 3.92 lb / 1.78kg. We look at benchmarks, thermals, fan noise and upgradability. It competes with the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 directly and the Zephyrus G15 indirectly.

If you’re looking for the most power-per-pound you can get, the Razer Blade 14 is the ideal gaming laptop for you. Fourteen inches won’t be enough screen for everyone, of course, especially at this price point — and plenty of shoppers may be willing to give up the fancy RGB and a few frames per second in favor of the unbelievable battery life the Zephyrus G14 and G15 offer. There are a few knocks against the Blade — namely the poor webcam, the chassis’s fingerprint retention, and the steep price tag — but if none of those are dealbreakers for you, I see no reason not to recommend it. There’s really nothing else like it on the market.

The Razer Blade 14 is back in grand fashion and I’ve got to say, I couldn’t be happier. When it debuted back in 2013, the Blade 14 was the pinnacle of thin-and-light gaming and now it’s returned to reclaim the throne. As it relaunches, the laptop is coming in thinner and lighter than its predecessor and much more powerful. I, for one, can not wait to get this laptop in to see how well it does against the competition as it’s got some powerful specs and some lofty claims to live up to, particularly regarding battery life. And while it might cost a pretty penny, if Razer’s penchant for big power in small packages holds up, the Razer Blade 14 will be well worth the splurge.

Is the Razer Blade 14 a faultless machine? It comes pretty close. Some will argue that the display is a little on the small side for prolonged gaming, but I’m not going to criticise a 14in laptop for having a 14in display, and though it’s not exactly cheap at the top end, the entry-level model is good value. Beyond that, the Blade 14 is an impressive machine in every way: it’s fast, stylish, well made, has a good keyboard and a very decent sound system. It also comes loaded with many of the extra features a hardcore gamer would insist on, while still being smart enough to not look out of place in more sober environments.

That's because high-end gaming performance for mobile devices in 2021 is inextricably linked to thermals, and the small, restrictive, confines of the Razer Blade 14's design (and its smaller cooling system designs) will inevitably deliver lower gaming performance from a GPU as hungry as an RTX 3080 than if it was used in a stockier chassis - like, say, a 15 or 17-inch one (like the ASUS Strix Scar 15 we've compared). It’s really a trade-off between performance and portability. The plus point for the Blade 14 series is that there’s also a lower-tiered version that comes with an RTX 3060 Laptop GPU paired with a 1080p 144Hz display. I think this makes for a more ideal and better-for-your-dollar gaming ultraportable notebook because the RTX 3060 runs at a lower TDP, and so the Blade 14’s cooling doesn’t limit it as much as it does with the RTX 3080. There's also an RTX 3070 version with the same screen as the model we've reviewed and at a thousand dollars cheaper than our review machine, that's something to consider.

Razer’s Blade family of gaming laptops has long been the go to choice for hardcore gamers looking for elegant powerhouses. The company’s latest entry, the Blade 14, might be their most exciting entry yet. Billed as the smallest 14-inch gaming laptop, the Blade 14 mashes the fastest mobile CPU together with the most powerful GPU into an impressively sleek and svelte form factor. The good news is that the Blade 14 delivers on the promise with very few compromises, but, at a starting price of $3,099, you’ll need deep pockets to acquire one. So is it worth the investment?

The Razer Blade 14 is a beautifully designed, carefully arranged laptop that deals with the issues of fitting seriously powerful hardware into a seriously slim frame like a pro. This is one the few gaming models we can imagine using as our only laptop - sure it weighs more than an ultraportable, but the difference amounts to an extra can of Coke in your bag. The Razer Blade 14 is classier than the Asus Zephyrus G14, and its build is flat-out lovely. However, it does cost a fortune. For most of us it's a laptop to daydream about rather than own. But at least it's a laptop worth daydreaming about.

I’ll come straight to the point: The Razer Blade 14 is a great looking notebook that comes with quality parts and components. If you’re looking for an ultraportable form factor notebook that basically does anything you throw at it – be it for creativity work or high-performance gaming – then there really isn’t any other notebooks quite like the Razer Blade 14 in the market now. But that’s not to say it’s perfect, not with this particular build that I reviewed. The plus point for the Blade 14 series is that there’s also a lower-tiered version that comes with an RTX 3060 Laptop GPU paired with a 1080p 144Hz display.

When it comes down to it, there is so much about the Razer Blade 14 laptop to like. The specs are sharp, it’s a really nice looking machine and works across productivity and play. The screen is an absolute delight to look at as it’s so easy on your eyes with the high refresh rate and — while it’s not super light — it’s light enough to carry around with you daily. If you’re in that user bracket, are likely to push it beyond the capabilities of other laptops and have the money to drop on a laptop like the Blade 14 Pro, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it because this really is the laptop I’ve wanted for years.

If you’re looking for an ultraportable form factor notebook that basically does anything you throw at it – be it for creativity work or high-performance gaming – then there really isn’t any other notebooks quite like the Razer Blade 14 in the market now. But that’s not to say it’s perfect, not with this particular build that I reviewed. The plus point for the Blade 14 series is that there’s also a lower-tiered version that comes with an RTX 3060 Laptop GPU paired with a 1080p 144Hz display. I think this makes for a more ideal and better-for-your-dollar gaming ultraportable notebook because the RTX 3060 runs at a lower TDP, and so the Blade 14’s cooling doesn’t limit it as much as it does with the RTX 3080.

Razer has earned some props: The Blade 14’s high-end parts perform capably despite their space constraints, and games look amazing on its QHD panel. Clearly at this price the Blade 14 is not for everyone, but it’s further proof that ‘thin, light gaming laptop’ is no longer an oxymoron.

Thanks to the balance of screen size and weight, I generally like 14-inch laptops better than the alternatives. I've never found the smaller screen size to affect my immersion in games; as much as I love me a massive desktop display, once I'm in, I'm in. So there's a lot to love with the Razer Blade 14, which incorporates one of the fastest mobile CPUs available (for now, at least), the AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, and top-end mobile graphics with the GeForce RTX 3070 or 3080. With Razer's trademark black-slab design, it very much feels like the middle child between the Blade 15 and Blade Stealth 13.

If you’re like me, when you hear the term “gaming laptop” you probably think of massive, 17-inch desktop replacement machines – in other words, pretty much every laptop I covered during the quarantine days of 2020. Well I still love those behemoths, but now that we’re getting back to being “mobile,” there’s a lot to be said for packing all that gaming PC power into something a lot more portable. And that’s just what Razer has done with the reboot of its three-year-old Razer Blade 14: blended power and portability into a delightfully compact (and refreshingly priced) laptop. I’m Michael Fisher and I’ve been using this notebook for the past month; join me for MrMobile’s Razer Blade 14 Review (2021)!

The Blade 14 is a well-designed machine that can run demanding games at high settings. It's also small and light enough to carry around for productivity work. The keyboard isn't perfect, and it could use a few more ports, but you could say the same thing about many portable gaming laptops. The Alienware m15 R4 is still a worthwhile competitor, if you don't mind a slightly larger screen. Otherwise, the Blade 14 is back after a long hiatus, and it’s worth the premium.

In terms of audio, we can’t expect anything much from the small chassis. It’s loud and enough for normal use, but lacks treble and bass for the audiophiles. Still, it’s a reasonable compromise for the performance it has packed in. If you’re not looking for a gaming laptop, the Razer Blade 14 might seem like an overkill but the entire package of performance plus portability is simply too much of a temptation, making this a natural option for a quality laptop.

The Razer Blade 14 is the highest specced 14” gaming laptop ever created, but how does it actually perform in games? I’ve tested the top end Ryzen 9 5900HX + RTX 3080 configuration in 12 games at 1440p & 1080p to find out! I’m still working on the full review of the Razer Blade 14 gaming laptop, make sure you’re subscribed so you don’t miss it!

As mentioned already, the 3070 model at $2199 would be my go-to here, but I wouldn’t look past the 3060 base-variant either, which starts at $1799, so $300 on top of a similarly-specced Zephyrus G14. This base variant ships with an FHD 144 Hz screen with 100% sRGB colors, but that should be fine for most of you, and I’d expect the performance gap between the 3060 and the 3070 to be around 10-15%, based on our tests of these chips at 80-100W of power.

Razer's Blade line of gaming laptops are among our favorites, not cheap but arguably the cream of the crop for hardcore gamers. We've reviewed and applauded 13-, 15-, and 17-inch models, and the new Blade 14 (starts at $1,799) hopes to hit a power and portability sweet spot. This compact chassis is just 0.66 inch thick but manages to pack an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor and up to Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 graphics, a head-turning proposition for gamers on the go. The system seen here is a pre-production unit, so we haven't given it the official review and benchmarking treatment, but can still share our impressions of this sleek premium machine.

The Razer Blade 14 will be the go-to gaming laptop for anyone who wants a luxury gaming laptop. It’s powerful enough to play any games out there, while being beautiful enough to show off wherever you go. The thin and light chassis is just a bonus. Though, you will have to pay for the pleasure of using it, and you won’t get as much performance out of the components as you would elsewhere.

Razer introduced the Ultimate AMD Gaming Laptop on E3 2021. Razer Blade 14 is currently the world's most powerful 14-inch gaming laptop in the market, featuring the newest AMD CPU and NVIDIA graphic processors. Razer is one of the best technology companies that design, develop and sell gaming hardware, especially since its pricing is a lot cheaper than the competitors. Recently, at its keynote event in E3 2021, the company brought back the "legendary" Razer Blade and rebuilt it with some of the latest technology available today.

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.

When it comes to compact gaming laptops that can handle the best games around and still be used on a coffee shop table, the field is a pretty narrow one – and the Razer Blade 14 might just be the best of the current crop, if you can handle its expensive price point.

Even with diminished ray tracing performance, Razer’s Blade 14 is still worth considering, especially for those with deep pockets. The Blade 14’s incredible 1440p display is just one reason of many to throw down the extra cash on something that not only makes colors pop and blacks super inky but will also hold up over time.

A pricey but powerful system squeezed into a slim, lightweight laptop that doesn’t sacrifice durability despite its compact design. The Razer Blade 14 provides seriously good gaming performance at 1080p and 1440p resolutions, with a vibrant 165Hz display and a great selection of physical ports. The small size means the keyboard feels a bit small, but this is undeniably a lovely little laptop that I’m sad I have to send back to Razer.

The Razer Blade 14 Ryzen 2022 is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, an absolute beast. Whether I am using it to join in on the fun of gaming with a few of my buddies while I’m out of town, or when I need to churn out a couple of articles to post while I’m out of town, believe me when I say: it does not disappoint. The one potential deal breaker that I see for the Blade 14 Ryzen 2022 and more specifically, for this SKU, is its asking price. At RM12599, it’s a damn sight pricier than its predecessor, let alone the new Zephyrus G14. However, one could argue that Razer always puts a premium on its products and for that matter, their products rarely disappoint. Well, most of them anyway. If you’re coming up from the previous generation Blade 14 Ryzen, I recommend that you stick with that machine; even with the graphical gains you get from the RTX 3070 Ti, you’re still holding an equally high-octane beast of a laptop, so there’s really no benefit in you trading up to this one.

Razer has the science of packing tons of power into a tiny chassis down to an art. Companies like Asus, MSI, Acer, Lenovo, and others have recently swapped the traditionally bulky gamer aesthetic for designs that fit better into a work environment. (Acer’s Triton SE 300 is a great example.) But all those companies usually sacrifice something to keep the price as low as possible, whether that’s keyboard quality, battery life, or a dim and color-muted display. The Razer Blade 14 not only has the look but it also has premium extras like a fantastic keyboard and great battery life to back it up. But you’ll pay a pretty penny to get them. If spending $2,600 on a gaming laptop is too rich for your blood, and you’re not particularly fond of Razer’s aesthetic, there are a plethora of options that will net you powerful gaming performance for hundreds of dollars less. The Asus ROG Strix G15 with a last-gen Ryzen 9 5900HX nets similar performance to the Blade 14, as does the Lenovo Legion 5 Pro Gen 6, MSI Delta 15, and many others.

While gaming laptops are mostly about performance, the same does not apply to the Razer Blade 14. It is adequately powerful to handle heavy gaming, but this is not a value-for-money offering, instead, it is a premium laptop, especially for those, who want both style and substance. This laptop is for those, who want a MacBook-like gaming machine, which can handle AAA titles and is also easy to carry around. With a starting price of $2,649.99 or approximately Rs 2,20,478, this is definitely on the experience side. However, for what it offers, it deserves that price tag.

In this video, I go through a complete unbox, talk about each aspect I hope they improved, and looked at some of the stand-out features of the Razer Blade 14. I also take a moment to tear down the laptop to look at the inside and see what this Razer Blade 14 is made of.

The 2023 Razer Blade 14 is proof you don’t need a giant beast of a laptop with a brick the size of a suitcase for an exceptional gaming experience. In just a 14-inch chassis, you have a laptop that has a gorgeous-looking and large QHD+ 240Hz 16:10 display, and respectable CPU and GPU performance, and yet it’s small and lightweight enough to go anywhere you go. It also has a fantastic battery life so you can play longer without interruption. Admittedly, it’s not cheap, but compared to what you’d pay for some larger premium 16-inch laptops, approximately $4,000, $2,799.99 doesn’t seem that bad. For that reason and its excellent portability and versatility, the 2023 Razer Blade 14 is a class act that I for one would be very happy to own.

Razer has hit it out of the park with the 2023 Razer Blade 14. It has some of the best available laptop hardware currently on the market, and it has one of the crispest displays I've had the pleasure of gaming on. However, it's not just the specs that Razer got right. It's sturdy, quiet, compact, and can transition seamlessly from gaming to productivity. Even the small flourishes are done correctly, like the backlit function row that changes colors when holding the FN key or the even distribution of USB ports. I could go on about all the small details that either made my experience more convenient or more enjoyable, but the conclusion is that I liked the Blade 14 a lot more than I was expecting. The 2023 Blade 14 isn’t perfect, of course.

This year’s Razer Blade 14 refresh has been outfitted with the latest specs, including the AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU, which sports a 5.2 GHz max clock speed and eight cores/16 threads, and up to the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. Despite containing such powerful and normally heavy components, it still manages to remain lightweight and thin, a contrast to the much larger laptop models like the 16-inch and 18-inch ones. And not only are the specs themselves impressive, but the overall performance is too. The laptop can get hot during more intensive gaming sessions but it never once stuttered, slowed down, or froze. Its chassis is simply all black with the logo in green, the distinctive style of Razer products. There’s also a white version called Mercury, but unfortunately no Quartz from the 2022 model.

We have to look at the price first – and I think that made me wince. It’s USD $2.7k or when we do a quick conversion – around RM12k. And that is just a very difficult pill to swallow. There is another alternative laptop that we can consider – and that’s the ROG Zephyrus G14. It has very similar specs – same screen resolution, same processor, but with 32GB RAM, 165Hz refresh rate, and an RTX 4060 Laptop instead. Unfortunately, the RTX 4070 version of the Zephyrus G14 is not coming to Malaysia. So, if you want a thin 14-inch gaming laptop with a great GPU – then the Razer Blade 14 is here for you.

The Razer Blade 14 does suffer from a dull, disappointing display, a mediocre keyboard, and battery life that doesn't entirely live up to the promise of its compact form factor. These are unfortunate issues for a laptop that starts around $2,400 and goes up from there. But the Blade 14 has what counts: performance. It achieved benchmark results that aren’t far off the Razer Blade 16 and other large laptops, especially in PC games. That’s impressive for a laptop that weighs just over four pounds. If you already or plan to frequently travel with a laptop, you’ll find the Blade 14 is less annoying to pack and carry around than the Blade 16 or even a 15-inch gaming laptop like the MSI Katana 15, yet has similar performance when it’s time to crack open a Mountain Dew and get to business. In the end, the Razer Blade 14 is not hard to recommend.

Our sample of the Razer Blade 14 (2023) was sent to us by AMD, however the CPU part of the equation did not initially strike us as anything particularly exciting. The eight-core Ryzen 9 4940HS CPU hums along at 4.0GHz+ on all cores while sipping a mere 40W-50W at an operating temperature under 80 degrees C with the cooling fans working at inaudible levels. And yet, when you read those words, that is a pretty remarkable summary. AMD is beating Intel on performance while using half the power, and that is exactly what we have come to expect from Team Red. Goodness how things have turned around in the past three years! We discussed the XDNA AI engine in our video and the implementation is currently negligible. We are familiar with background blurs on webcams and photos and will need something more dramatic to raise the level of interest.

The Razer Blade 14 is the best gaming laptop you can buy right now. We already expect laptops at this price point to offer solid productivity performance alongside the staggering power of the latest and greatest graphics card, but Razer went above and beyond in every facet of this machine. Boasting a sturdy build that reflects its premium price point, gorgeous display with high nits of brightness and alluring color depth, an absolutely banging speaker system, and great battery life, this is an all-around phenomenal package. You can find other laptops that are superior to this in certain categories, but the Razer Blade 14 is a jack-of-all-trades that does everything wonderfully. If you’re willing to spend a few hundred dollars extra for a more powerful machine with worse battery life in a heavier chassis, the MSI Raider GE78 HX is a great pick. Otherwise, Razer has knocked it out of the park with this one.

The 2023 Razer Blade 14 gets updated CPUs and GPUs. As ever, this is a posh, black MacBook of a gaming laptop with a CNC aluminum anodized chassis, exquisite attention to fit and finish and a price tag to match. It has 1 4” QHD+ full P3 gamut 240Hz display, 140 watt NVIDIA RTX 4060 / 4070 dedicated graphics and AMD’s new Ryzen 9 7940HS processor (5.2GHz, 4nm, Zen 4). New are 2 RAM slots for upgradable memory and there’s a full HD webcam with Windows Hello and a privacy shutter. It competes with the Alienware X14 and Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and perhaps even the 14” MacBook Pro.

If there is one thing I will give Razer credit for, it’s that the brand is consistent. Three generations on, and my experience with Blade 14 2023 feels just as solid as when I first reviewed its progenitor. Once again, much like its predecessors, the Ryzen 9 7940HS has proven itself as one hell of a power efficient processor, and there really wasn’t any doubt that the RTX 4070 would deliver a great gaming experience, although as a last minute observation, I think 140W may be a tad bit overkill. Especially when an RTX 4090 Mobile can run at full whack on just 125W. The only drawback I can think of to owning the Blade 14 2023 is its asking price: with a starting price of US$2399 (~RM11,116), you really are paying a premium for this machine.

If it wasn’t obvious reading through this article, we really like the Ryzen 9 7940HS-powered Razer Blade 14. Despite its relatively small 14” / .7” thin, 4lb form factor, this machine handles an 8-core / 16-thread CPU and powerful GPU with aplomb – for all intents and purposes, the Razer Blade 14 offers performance about on par with much larger, previous-gen laptops featuring higher-power HX-series processors and beefier GPUs. The Razer Blade 14’s design is also very attractive in our opinion. The machine is built from premium materials and exudes quality from every angle. If you’re OK with some sharp edges, and couple of green accents, and dig the matte black and clean lines, you’ll love how the Razer Blade 14 looks and feels in person.

Overall the Razer Blade 14, powered by the latest Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, is a quality notebook with solid levels of performance and adequate battery life, and it has enough style and substance to make it a worthwhile purchase. The Ryzen 9 7940HS (8C/16T) itself is very comparable performance-wise with the desktop Zen 4 chips, the Ryzen 7 7700 (8C/16T), and Ryzen 5 7600 (6C/12T), and it is clear that Zen 4 in the notebook space showcases AMD's incredible power and performance efficiency. The Razer Blade 14 is the ideal showcase for this.

Overall, the 2023 Blade 14 is a solid laptop with a really strong processor inside that could be a real mainstream success — except that its high price pushes it into a pretty niche category. I can think of three possible advantages that the Blade 14 could have over a Zephyrus G14 that has the exact same chips inside. There’s the higher-refresh-rate screen. There’s the RGB keyboard. There’s the fact that it’s three-tenths of an inch thinner (though it is also, I will point out, close to half a pound heavier). And then there’s the general aesthetic; some people no doubt prefer the Blade’s unobtrusive black to the G14’s slightly more eclectic dot matrixes and such. But that’s it. And even if all those things are true, I don’t see the $850, and I can’t imagine my eventual testing of the G14 changing my mind unless our test unit is a complete potato.

Razer’s new Blade 14 slices right through the competition. Revamped with a 16:10 screen and the latest parts from AMD and Nvidia, this eminently portable 14-incher keeps up with much larger gaming laptops without any real compromises. An all-aluminum bosy, a bright screen, long battery life, end-user upgradability, and quiet cooling fans are just some of its many highlights. Pricing is the only major turnoff. Razer no longer sells anything that could be considered a budget configuration, but on the other hand, it’s not more expensive than other machines in this elite tier. Overall, the Blade 14 doesn’t miss a beat, easily earning our Editors' Choice award.

Overall, the 2023 Razer Blade 14 comes with some significant improvements over the previous model — a faster screen, better performance, better surface temperatures, and finally user-upgradeable components. It also comes at a higher price. The previous model was available starting at $1,800, while you’ll need to spend at least $2,400 to get your foot in the door with the 2023 version. It’s worth the price, no doubt. However, Razer competed well with a machine like the Zephyrus G14 in the previous generation, offering a bump in build quality for a similar bump in price. Now, the Blade 14 ends up $750 more expensive for an almost identical configuration, so although it’s worth the price, there’s a much higher premium placed on build quality. I recommend picking up the Razer Blade 14 if that extra build quality is something you look for in a laptop. I’m knocking down the score compared to last year’s model just a hair due to the price, but this is still a laptop worthy of carrying the Blade 14 badge.

If you're looking for raw gaming power above all else then you might be better off looking at one of the larger Blade models, or one of its many rivals. However, Razer has done an admirable job of squeezing very solid mid-range performance into a compact 14-inch laptop that you can easily carry with you when you need to leave home. And, along with its strong gaming performance the Blade 14 also does well to provide respectable battery life that few of its gaming rivals can match.

The Razer Blade 14 won’t be for everyone. In fact, it’s far closer to being for no one. A high price will put off many while a lack of cutting-edge gaming specs will put off many others. But, if your needs and wants boil down to extremely high-quality design, portability and strong mid-tier gaming performance, you won’t be disappointed if you pick up a Blade 14.

Razer is starting off the new year strong with a minor but solid refresh of its smallest Blade series. Most users will overlook the CPU AI enhancements, but the minor GPU changes help the 2024 Blade 14 pull out ahead of last year's model.

There are plenty of reasons to recommend the Razer Blade 14 (early 2024), from its fast performance, smooth graphics, impactful speakers, and bright display. However, it does fall short of the previous generation when it comes to displaying vivid color and lasting for a full day on battery. Both the 2023 and 2024 versions of the Blade 14 could get rather hot when gaming, making it imperative to use an external keyboard or mouse for lengthy game sessions. The Blade 14 starts at $2,199, and the configuration we tested retails for $2,699. While this is hardly expensive compared to the Razer Blade 16, which can easily be configured to cost over $4,000, it is on the pricey side for a gaming laptop with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU.

After a few weeks with the Razer Blade 14, I can certainly see the appeal. It’s portable and has a lot of horsepower, which is great if you need something that can do a lot and still not weigh your backpack down too much. It’s also a robust and trusted design, with a reasonable amount of IO. The only legitimate problem I have with it is the cost. And depending if you want an OLED screen or not, and maybe better speaker. But if you want the absolute most performance at this form factor and size, this is probably the best there is to offer at this time.

The Razer Blade 14 (2024) continues to impress as a gaming powerhouse in a remarkably compact form. It remains largely unchanged in design from its predecessor, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, considering it has long been my top pick for the best gaming laptop going, and this latest refresh makes a compelling case for keeping that title. Starting with its design, the familiar all-black CNC-milled aluminum chassis is both eye-catching and sturdy, with a weight that reinforces its premium build without sacrificing portability.

It’s clear the Razer Blade 18 (2024) is more than just a powerhouse; it’s a finely tuned instrument that excels in every area it promises to. For anyone serious about gaming or creative work, the Blade 18 offers a compelling blend of cutting-edge technology and thoughtful design. The 5MP webcam and THX spatial audio system greatly enriched my streaming and video conferencing experiences, delivering clear visuals and immersive sound. The comprehensive port selection and the latest Wi-Fi 7 connectivity allowed for a seamless and uninterrupted connection, which proved invaluable during both online gaming matches and while transferring large creative project files. Razer has not only raised the bar but has set a new benchmark for what we should expect from gaming laptops moving forward. This laptop isn’t just about power and performance; it’s about experiencing the future of gaming technology today.

Although it’s expensive, the Razer Blade 14 2024 has commendable performance and gorgeous fluid visuals for its size. For me, that’s what makes the Razer Blade 14 such a great option – I essentially see everything I would want in a laptop here. A solid robust frame, great performance, and amazing visuals and all in a compact portable unit. If you can afford one and are tempted, you should absolutely take the plunge.

14.00:
14 inch display size represents a middle ground between the small subnotebook formats and the screens of the standard 15 inch laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, provides good resolutions with usable detail sizes, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact.
In the past, 14-inch devices were very rare, but now they are the standard for laptops after the 15-inchers.
