Verdict - Blade 14 2025 is a very good all-rounder
Just like the new Blade 16, the 2025 model of the Blade 14 gets slimmer and lighter. The chassis is still extremely sophisticated with perfect build quality. There are still plenty of ports, you get a comfortable keyboard, and the clickpad is excellent, but there is still room for improvements in terms of the sound system. The new OLED screen offers great image quality with fast response times and accurate colors, but the brightness (especially in HDR mode) could be higher.
Razer uses the AMD mobile processor Ryzen AI 9 365 in combination with soldered RAM, which is a downgrade compared to last year. You can get up to 64 GB RAM, but the two SO-SIMM slots of the previous models were simply much more convenient. The CPU performance is just slightly better compared to the old Ryzen 9 8945HS.
The new generation of the RTX 5070 Laptop runs with a TGP of up to 115 Watts and the performance is completely okay in general, but the amount of 8 GB VRAM results in some limitations, especially in the QHD resolution. We would basically recommend sticking to the 1080p resolution, where there are no major issues. The 1080p gaming performance of the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 with the RTX 5070 Ti Laptop is not that much better. You can start to see the real benefit of the 5070 Ti Laptop in the QHD resolution.
However, the G14 with the RTX 5070 Ti Laptop is around 1000 Euros more expensive and the price performance ratio is good with an RRP of 2399 Euros. The worse equipped Zephyrus G14 with the slower RTX 5060 Laptop, 16 GB RAM and the Ryzen 9 270 already costs 2299 Euros. If you are looking for a mobile all-rounder with good 1080p gaming capabilities, the Blade 14 is a great choice.

Razer updates Blade 14 and equips it with a slimmer as well as lighter chassis, just like we saw on the larger Blade 16 2025. There is also a new OLED screen for the 14-inch gamer, which is driven by Nvidia's latest mobile GPUs. However, the RTX 5070 Laptop (115 Watts) is the fastest option. The processor is the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 in combination with 32 GB RAM, but you can also get 64 GB. Our review unit with the 1 TB SSD as well as 32 GB RAM costs $2499 and is therefore $200 cheaper than the previous model at launch.
Specifications
Case - High quality and noticeably more compact
The basic design with the black aluminum chassis and the illuminated Razer logo on the lid did not change, but the 2025 model is a bit slimmer (16.2 vs. 18 mm for the 2024 Blade 14) as well as lighter (1.62 vs. 1.87 kg). Both the build quality as well as the stability are on a very high level. We can neither dent the base unit, nor provoke creaking sounds. The slim lid also holds up well. All in all, the chassis quality is slightly better compared to the big rival Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, where the hinges are still an issue. This is no problem here and the maximum opening angle is 135 degrees. The only issue is that the surfaces are very prone to fingerprints and you will have to clean them regularly. There is also a white (Mercury) option as an alternative.
The new Blade 14 is a bit more compact than the ROG Zephyrus G14 with the two high-end GPU options (5070 Ti Laptop/5080 Laptop), but the SKU with the regular RTX 5070 Laptop is just as slim. However, all models of the Zephyrus G14 are slightly lighter. Razer ships the Blade 14 with a compact 200W GaN power supply, which tips the scale at 624 grams.
Connectivity - USB 4 and a fast card reader
The port situation of the Blade 14 is convincing. In addition to two modern USB-C 4.0 ports (which can also be used to charge the laptop with up to 100 Watts), there are two regular USB-A ports, which is still very convenient in practice. The new microSD-card reader on the right side is very fast with transfer rates of more than 200 MB/s in combination with our reference card (Angelbird AV Pro V60). The Wi-Fi module (MediaTek MT7925) supports Wi-Fi 7 as well as Bluetooth 5.4 and manages high and stable transfer rates in our Wi-Fi test. We did not experience any signal quality issues during our review period, either. The 1080p webcam does its job, but the pictures are not particularly good. Facial recognition via IR sensor is supports and the Blade 14 is a Copilot+ laptop with support for Microsoft's enhanced AI features (studio effects for webcam, live captions, etc.).

Maintenance
The bottom panel is secured by some screws (T5) and is easy to remove since there are no annoying clips. The internal layout is dominated by the cooling solution as well as the battery. The M.2-2280 SSD and the Wi-Fi module can be replaced, but the memory is now soldered (contrary to the predecessor). This is unfortunate, since the Zen 5 mobile processor can be configured with replaceable RAM.
Sustainability
Razer does not give any information about the CO2 footprint, environmental certifications or the use of recycled materials for the device. The packaging is completely made of cardboard and paper and can be recycled.
Input Devices - Keyboard with per-key illumination
The Blade 14 offers a very comfortable keyboard. Thanks to the precise stroke as well as the sufficiently long key travel, you can comfortably type longer texts. Only the space bar is an exception, because it is much louder, which feels a bit cheap. The typing experience of the Zephyrus G14 is still superior, but the Blade 14 is not far off. Razer implements a per-key background illumination, so you can customize it as you like. The large clickpad (14.9 x 8.5 cm) offers excellent gliding capabilities and is perfectly integrated into the base unit. The mechanical clicks in the lower half are very subdued and quiet, which gives a very sophisticated impression. Other manufacturers should use this as a reference.
Display - Blade 14 now with 120-Hz OLED
Razer ditches the old IPS screen with 240 Hz and now implements a 120 Hz OLED panel instead (2880 x 1800 pixels, 16:10). The subjective picture quality is excellent: Sharp images, smooth movements, deep black, vivid colors, and extremely fast response times. However, neither the brightness, nor the color temperature, can be automatically controlled via sensor.
The brightness of the OLED panel is only average at 360 nits, but the contrast ratio is still extremely high thanks to the low black value. The maximum HDR brightness is a bit disappointing at up to 440 nits. PWM flickering is present, but the frequency is high at 480 Hz (DC dimming, 90-70 %) and 960 Hz (70 % and lower), respectively.

The display backlight flickers at 960 Hz (worst case, e.g., utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 90 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting. The frequency of 960 Hz is quite high, so most users sensitive to PWM should not notice any flickering. In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 8343 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 343500) Hz was measured. | |||
The OLED screen of the Blade 14 is glossy, which causes reflections outdoors. We suggest you look for a place in the shade. The viewing angle stability is very good.

System performance
As expected, the new Blade 14 is a very responsive companion and the synthetic benchmark results are also very good. However, there is no perceptible performance difference compared to the rivals or the old model because the performance level is very similar. There is a small delay when the system switches to the dedicated GPU via Advanced Optimus (when you launch a game, for example), but this is normal.

Our review unit is equipped with the 1 TB version of the Samsung PM9A1, which is attached via PCIe 4.0. The transfer rates of the M.2-2280 drive are very good overall and there is no performance drop under sustained workloads. You can use 852 GB for your own files/apps after the initial setup. More SSD benchmarks are listed here.

GPU performance
The Blade 14 uses the dedicated Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, which is the direct successor to the RTX 4070 Laptop in the Blade 14 2024. The maximum TGP is 115 Watts (100 Watts + 15 Watts dynamic Boost), so the Blade 14 can utilize the full potential of the new GPU. The biggest drawback is the limited amount of RAM at 8 GB.
In our synthetic benchmarks, the new Blade 14 is only 5 % ahead of the previous model, while the ROG Zephyrus G14 with the RTX 5070 Ti Laptop is 14 % faster (25 % with the RTX 5080 Laptop). The GPU performance is completely stable under sustained workloads. More GPU benchmarks are listed in our tech section.

Gaming performance
Synthetic benchmarks are one thing, but the actual gaming performance is obviously much more interesting. The new model performs better here and the advantage over the old Blade 14 with the RTX 4070 Laptop is usually between 10-15 %. Baldur's Gate 3 is a big outlier, and we suspect there might have been an issue for the old Blade 14 due to the massive performance gap. We will try to check this result as quickly as possible. If you play in 1080p, the two more powerful models of the ROG Zephyrus G14 are actually just slightly faster. Indiana Jones only ran in 1080p with lowest details. When we switched to the medium preset (and higher), the game displayed a VRAM warning and repeatedly crashed after the required restart.

The two more powerful RTX 5000 Laptop GPUs can increase their lead in the QHD resolution. There are also some games where the 8 GB VRAM was noticeable. Both Call of Duty Black Ops 6 as well as Assassin's Creed Shadows showed a VRAM warning in our QHD settings and there were some major frame drops, so smooth gameplay is not really possible.

We checked the new features DLSS4 and Multi Frame Generation with the two titles Cyberpunk 2077 as well as Alan Wake 2 in the highest possible setting. We recommend you stick to the Full-HD resolution, where you get decent results. The RTX 5070 Laptop was overwhelmed by Cyberpunk in 2560 x 1600 with Multi Frame Generation, and the results were actually lower. All in all, the RTX 5070 Laptop is a good GPU for Full-HD gaming.

Emissions - Loud cooling unit
System noise
The Blade 14 uses two fans in combination with a big vapor chamber. The laptop stays quiet for a long time under light workloads and there is often just a murmur, even in the Performance mode. Once you start to stress the GPU, however, the fans will spin up quickly and we measured 54.6 dB(A) during gaming and our stress test. The Balanced mode is not that much quieter at 50.3 dB(A), while the Silent mode was more bearable at 42 dB(A). Our test unit did not have issues with other electronic noises.

Temperature
The metal chassis stays very cool during light workloads, but you should not put it on your lap while gaming. We measure 48-49 °C in the center area of the bottom panel, which will get uncomfortable very quickly. The keyboard mainly warms up in the center area, but the important WASD area right above one of the fans stays much cooler. CPU and GPU levelled off at ~39/101 Watts during our stresst test.
(-) The maximum temperature on the upper side is 47 °C / 117 F, compared to the average of 40.5 °C / 105 F, ranging from 21.2 to 68.8 °C for the class Gaming.
(-) The bottom heats up to a maximum of 49.6 °C / 121 F, compared to the average of 43.3 °C / 110 F
(+) In idle usage, the average temperature for the upper side is 29 °C / 84 F, compared to the device average of 33.9 °C / 93 F.
(-) 3: The average temperature for the upper side is 39.8 °C / 104 F, compared to the average of 33.9 °C / 93 F for the class Gaming.
(±) The palmrests and touchpad can get very hot to the touch with a maximum of 36.3 °C / 97.3 F.

Speakers
Razer uses a sound system consisting of six modules, but the sound quality is once again a bit underwhelming. The sound lacks some punch and the Asus ROG Zepyhrus G14 is superior in this regard.

Energy management - Improved stamina
Power consumption
There are no real surprises in terms of power consumption. The maximum idle consumption is okay at ~12 Watts and we measure around 170 Watts during gaming. The maximum consumption during our stress test is 195 Watts, but this quickly levels off at ~182 Watts. The new 200W PSU (GaN) is therefore sufficient and it also stays much cooler than the old 230W adapter.

Battery runtime
Razer uses a 72 Wh battery and the Wi-Fi runtime is better compared to the previous model. At 150 nits (70 % of the maximum brightness), we determine almost 9 hours and still 6 hours at maximum brightness. The G14, however, surpasses these values. The video test runs for almost 11 hours and you can drain the battery after 71 minutes under maximum load. A full recharge takes 111 minutes (80 % after 50 minutes).
