The AMD combo breaker. 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.

Whenever we see a superthin laptop that promises Core i9-level performance with GeForce RTX 80 level...

extremely fast performance for the size; no throttling issues; 165 Hz 1440p DCI-P3 display with FreeSync support; high quality aluminum alloy chassis; true Ultrabook portability; quiet under low loads;

warmer-than-average CPU temperatures when under load; not compatible with Razer Core docking stations; very warm surface temperatures in general; no liquid metal cooling for the CPU; non-upgradeable RAM;

Slim, smart and robust 14in design; Powerful RTX 3070 graphics core; Superb AMD processor; High-quality 1440p display;

Exterior sometimes gets hot; Expensive considering the components; No numberpad;

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.

The Razer Blade 15 was already the world’s smallest gaming laptop. Making an even smaller version with the Razer Blade 14 is, on one hand, an exciting proposition. On the other hand, I had some serious concerns about how Razer could possibly keep these components cool enough. Throw in an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor and up to an Nvidia RTX 3080 — and you’ve got the potential for a hot mess. Fortunately, the Razer Blade 14 is anything but. Razer has pulled off the impossible, delivering a fantastic gaming experience in a tiny form factor. With a lower starting price of $1,800, there’s little reason to opt for the Razer Blade 15, as the smaller sibling has stolen the crown from what was the best gaming laptop. A new king has arrived. Despite its smaller size and asking price, it looks nearly identical to the Razer Blade 15. It has the same all-black aluminum exterior, green snake logo on the lid, and little in the way of big vents or gaudy design elements. It’s the same type of minimalis...

This is an amazing PC laptop for a content creator I use it for Unity3D, Unreal, Coding and Gaming It handles VR content very well with the oculus quest 2 Some things to be aware of though: The screen aspect is 16x9 for gaming so there is a large band under the screen that could have been valuable screen space Windows 10 changed the way onboard and dedicated GFX selection works so this can be a pain as you need to manually now setup each program in windows which card to use - Really a pain with Unity3D and Unreal as it often switches to onboard GFX too anyway VR wont work if you just plug in the headset - You need to disable the onboard...view more

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.
