Blade 14 Gaming Laptop: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX 8 Core, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080, 14" QHD 165Hz, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD - CNC Aluminum - Chroma RGB - THX Spatial Audio - Vapor Chamber Cooling

Definitely a must for me. My job is mostly travel based so I needed a laptop that would fit in a business environment (to non-computer savvy people it looks just like a black version of the MacBook Pro minus the razer logo which can be covered up by a matte black dbrand skin and the rgb keyboard which I just set to white) as well as allow me to play my games when I’m away from home. Gaming: I get 180 FPS average on RS: Seige at 1440p ultra settings and no taa (it’s a blurry mess and only renders at half resolution so I keep it off) and the cpu never exceeds 80C and the 3080 never above 71C. The 14 inch screen is very pixel dense at 1440p so anti-aliasing isn’t needed for games which improves performance! Battery life: I’m super happy with the battery life. On better battery life with screen dimmed to 210 nits I get 14 hours battery life doing office stuff. At full brightness white point is at 350 nits which is good enough for in full sunlight viewing (also thanks to the anti-glare matte display coating, glossy displays would need to be 500 nit screens to perform as good. CPU: the ryzen 9 5900hx is very powerful yet sips the power and remains cool doing every day and medium duty tasks. So much so that the only time I’ve ever heard the fans start spinning is when I video game which is a big deal! Build Quality: the CNC machined aluminum body is amazing, very sturdy design (so much so I couldn’t believe it was also so thin), uniform black anodizing, and good clean lines. The only gripe is the finger prints. Black and dark colors are notorious for showing finger prints and oily smudges (which is why Apple went with grey color as it masks the fingerprints better) the 2021 razer blade 15’s got an added anti-fingerprint coating to combat this but unfortunately the blade 14 didn’t get the same treatment. My only other gripe is the rgb keyboard. For some reason your rgb settings are not saved to the bios instead the razer synapse software loads your rgb preferences after logging in to windows so I have to hide the rainbow keyboard during business meetings, etc until my white keyboard lighting gets loaded. RAZER, if you care about being the windows version of Apple (ie high end metal laptops for professionals that like to game) you need to fix 3 things: 1. Make a sleeper blade 14 with the subtle stealth 13 razer logo. 2. Either fix the rgb so it’s saved to bios so the keyboard doesn’t commence with unicorn vomit every time I open my computer or just make a blade 14 keyboard that’s just white leds. 3. ANTI-FINGERPRINT coating!!!! Seriously, we are walking advertisements for your products and most people walking by and catching a glimpse of the laptop will be turned off by the guaranteed smudges and fingerprints on it. It’s impossible to touch this thing without leaving them all over it.

The best portable gaming laptop ever! It also works great as a PC hub. There’s tons of storage, and it runs large game titles with ease. It does get pretty hot after long sessions or when playing big games, but that’s expected. I usually keep it plugged in at my desk since the battery life while gaming isn’t great — though it’s perfectly fine for regular use. The screen and graphics quality are excellent. Expensive, but totally worth it!

2022-08-18 Update: It's been several months since AMD released a patch for the stuttering issue with Ryzen and Windows 11. Razer has not even acknowledged it nor have they indicated that the patch would be implemented for this laptop. Searching on their website, it only lists an older BIOS from June 2021. Avoid this laptop if you plan on running Windows 11. Better yet, avoid Razer products altogether as they don't seem to care enough to update firmware for any of their EXPENSIVE laptops. Had I known, I would have gone with ASUS. Original: Where do I begin... the goods: This is by far the nicest laptop I've own. Also the most expensive. The feel is good. The chassis is rigid and the bottom cover is easily removed. The screen is beautiful, small, but beautiful. Plenty of ports for what I need. Speakers are loud and sounds decent for a laptop of this size. The battery life is amazing if you tweak the settings a bit. The bad... It get HOT. And when it gets hot, the fans are definitely audible. It will distract some that are more sensitive to such noise. The keyboard feels good but you really have to use pressure to get it to register a keystroke. There's a tactile click to it, but even then, it may miss a keypress if you don't apply enough pressure. Windows 10 Home... Really? For a nearly $3k laptop? To make matters worse, you cannot upgrade to Win10 pro. It keeps failing and telling me the key doesn't work. Even a key bought digitally from the Microsoft store. It automatically defaults to my Microsoft account as an activation license. I've tried Razer Support (no luck) and Windows Forums (no luck). Lets talk about the graphics. 3080... great! Integrated Graphics included,,, makes sense for battery life. No MUX switch for such an expensive laptop is unacceptable. The Razer site lists this laptop as dGPU only capable, but no where can that be found. I've checked the BIOS, via the Razer Software and even nVidia Control Panel doesn't see it. I can force performance settings under the advanced graphic settings, but that doesn't do much. The video still has to go through the CPU/iGPU before it hits the screen. You can definitely notice the difference if you hook this laptop up to an external screen. You'll see a definite performance boost. For a laptop geared towards gamers, they should have put in a MUX switch for the graphics. They also capped the power for the GPU to 100W. The 3080 inside this laptop will perform more like a desktop 3060 because it won't get enough power. There's a lot to like about this laptop. Unfortunately there's a lot to hate about it as well. In hindsight, I would have saved some money and bought the 3070 model. I'd have less buyer's remorse knowing my 3070 inside will perform like a 3060 rather than an extremely gimped 3080 model.

First off, I want to say that this is expensive. Very very expensive. But is it worth the money? Well, that sort of depends. I needed this laptop for gaming on the go, some light work, and editing. The 16GB of soldered on RAM is fine for me, but I know that a lot of people may take issue with that. The RGB lighting is AMAZING, razer really does the best I've experienced so far. This laptop has run any game I've thrown at it at high or ultra settings with no issues, and all of this in a thin and light 14" package has been a phenomenal experience so far. The screen brightness was pleasantly surprising, and I have gotten about 5.5 hours of battery life on a charge. This laptop stays fairly cool when judging by competitors and honestly it feels like magic, but it's all due to the vapor chambers. All in all, I am in love with this laptop. BUT, this is not a product I would recommend to anyone because of the price. If you are willing to pay the premium for a solid product with better than expected performance then this may be for you. But if you are short on cash or just don't need something as flashy, I would get something else. I have had zero issues so far, will update this review if something changes.

I rushed to buy it as soon it was released and I don`t have no regrets at all! For small gaming laptop amazing performance, low fan noise around 40-45db, and very decent temperature and amazing battery life in such compact package! I managed to get even 14 hours and 35 minutes on full hd 60 hz, 30% brightness from it which is very impressive for gaming laptop for this size. No to mention that superb razer build quality and awesome speakers. Trust me, You definetly won`t regret buying it!

I purchased this laptop for gaming and connecting to my LG C1 4k OLED monitor. The good The computer does push 4K, 60fps with almost maxed out settings. G-Sync and DLSS are the best thing in the world! The keyboard synapse lighting is awesome. I love creating my own visuals for this. I also was able to connect it to the Hue lighting in my office and have the Hue lights respond to the images on the screen. I want/need to get all the Razer lit peripherals now! Amazing! The bad - The real limitation is the video ram at only 8GB. There is also only 16GB system RAM that is limited to 15.6GB because of the built AMD video card. It's so close to being everything you need to max out your graphics. In a year or so, this device won't be able to keep up with the newest games. I need this to last me at least a few years. - Be prepared, this thing gets hot! The GPU temp hovers around 65-70C and the fans are super loud. The case will be too hot to touch. Be sure to get a stand to help with heat dissipation. - I also have a ton of problems syncing with my LG C1. More often than not, the display won't turn on after waking. I need to stop and start extending my display to get it to work, and then it's only intermittent. I've tried endless HDMI 8k cables and TV and display settings to see if I can make it more reliable, but no such luck. When it works, it's amazing to see the G-Sync in action. - While the Synapse software is really cool, it's super buggy. Most times after launching certain games the animation on the LEDs slow to a crawl, making the Hue integration all but useless. - Of course, because this is AMD there is no thunderbolt and I knew that going into this, but it's still a huge gap in a device at this price point. In the end, I am going to return this device and go with the latest 15" 2022 Intel 12th generation GTX 3080ti instead. It's almost a thousand dollars more expensive, but it is definitely worth it if you can afford it. 32gb of DDR5 RAM and 16GB of VRAM is more than enough to max everything out at 4k. I'm also hoping that the larger size will help with the cooling and fan noise, but I'm not going to let that stop me if it doesn't.

Pro: This thing is built like a tank. Keyboard is tight, track pad is nice and big, sometimes a tad finicky, but could be the user... screen is sharp and no dead pixels. excellent speakers. Highly recommended for snes emulator, shopping, and youtube. Negative: Wished it came pre-installed with window 10 pro.

The 3070 version of this laptop is the sweet spot for sure. Graphics caps out at 100w. This laptop drives the wqhd screen amazingly. It does get a bit warm on the top case near the display which is to be expected from a gaming laptop. Overall the best laptop I’ve ever owned.

I should have followed my gut on this one. thankfully God allowed me to get a refund on this laptop. The laptop is amazing in everything except cooling. As you can see in images I was just in the loading screen of one of the many games i've tested; in which i have tested (several games) on both highest and lowest graphics settings. After 3-5min of gaming the CPU temperature is over 100 degrees. if you keep playing despite your desk turning into a campfire; the computer eventually freezes and bluescreens to no surprise because you can physically feel the laptop flaming as well as hear the fans spin like jet plane engines trying to cool the system down. I have also been using a laptop cooling pad to no obvious avail. Honestly to my fellow gamers, just get a desktop. until these companies design liquid cooled laptops STAY AWAY from gaming laptops, they will melt your cpu and destroy your battery overtime. cheers.
