Razer Blade 14 Gaming Laptop Review

I was weighing my options between buying a full desktop PC and this Razer. No other laptop even had my thoughts. I work in technology as a sr. Engineer, and what attracted me to it was the apple-like quality. Well now that I have this Razer I can confirm that everything they say is true. Pros: 1) The packaging is mostly unremarkable (you can still tell it's a PC). There is no indication that this is a high-end gaming PC. 2) The inner packaging is well protected and divided into compartments…

I am writing this review for everyone who is hesitant to buy this laptop as I was one of them. I'm really confused between my personal favorite Alienware and the Razer Blade 14 Ryzen. I really like Razer peripherals - I use Blackwidow V2 TKL and Deathadder V2 Pro for my setup. The decision was based on several factors like Thunderbolt to USB C swap, no Ethernet port, external GPU for future upgrades. I will only answer these questions and hopefully it will help someone. First off, USB-C isn't…

This notebook is very impressive in its form factor. Really good balance of size, weight and performance. There are many more powerful options, especially for the components used here, but it does the job quite well for a computer of this size. The screen brightness was my biggest concern when ordering as the brightness wasn't listed anywhere, but to my surprise it's between 400 and 500 nits. Well over 300 nits, at least in my own eyes (have to measure). The fans turn off when idling and are…

I got this gem but as soon as I turned it on I found the trackpad was very choppy and uncontrollable. I tried reloading the drivers by updating Windows and Synapse and restarting the whole computer, but I still couldn't use the trackpad. I also called support, just told me everything I've tried... I connected a mouse and was able to play normally without any problems. I was very impressed by the little monster. Also big size. I just wish the Ryzen processor was in the 15" variant, because the…

Pros: 1) Keyboard: Razer laptops are still the keyboards I type fastest on, also RGB per key 2) 100W stable, Razer promised 100 and it delivers, the in-game GPU draws a constant 100 watts throughout gameplay. In comparison, the G14 promised 80W, and even if you carefully manage your CPU power, the G14 typically only delivers around 70W. 3) Even at 100W, the GPU temperature never rises above 65 C. 4) Battery life guaranteed: with updated graphics drivers. The keyboard backlight is off, the…

A must for me. Most of my work consists of travel, so I needed a laptop that would fit into a business environment (to people who aren't computer savvy, it looks like a black version of a MacBook Pro without the Razer logo, which comes from the matte black brand logo can be covered). skin and an RGB keyboard that I just set to white) and also let me play my games when I'm not at home. Gaming: I get an average of 180 fps on RS: Seige at 1440p Ultra settings and no Taa (it's a blurry mess and…

First of all I want to say that it is expensive. Very very expensive. But is it worth the money? Well, it kind of depends. I needed this laptop for gaming on the go, light work and editing. 16GB of soldered RAM works fine for me, but I know a lot of people might disagree. The RGB lighting is AMAZING, Razer really does the best I've ever experienced. This laptop ran all the games I ran on high or ultra settings with no issues, and all in a thin and light 14-inch body has been a phenomenal…
