Razer effectively invented handheld gaming systems with Blades, but now that ultraportable gameplay machines like that of the Asus TUF Dash F15 are becoming more popular, Razer is launching the Razer Blade 14 could change the field once more.
This is a 14-inch game console, and as there are adequate 12.9-inch laptops on the market, such as Razer’s current Blades Shadow 13 line, the goal is to deliver superior talent in a portable package.
However, as with every other occasion, you obtain mobility and high voltage in the very same box, you’ll be paying good money for it. The version we’ll be watching today is $2,799 (£2,799, AU$4,999). That may seem like a huge ask, and it’s less expensive than that of the Blade 15 with much the same hardware – albeit with a rather narrower and dimmer display (165Hz vs 240Hz).
Although evaluating the price stickers to somewhat larger 15-inch computers is certainly useful, this is a notebook that’s just 0.66 inches in diameter and assesses 3.92 kg, but unlike many slimmer laptops, there is already nothing there that never seemed quality.
Razer has now been dubbed the “Queen of gaming processers,” a moniker the firm hasn’t refrained from, and the Blade 14 will be no exception. This notebook is among the most durable and high prices we’ve used.Â
Price and Handiness
Beginning in Jun 2021, the Razer Blade 14 will be sold for $1,799 (£1,799, AU$3,099). Each laptop option comes with an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor, 16GB of Random Access Memory, and a 1TB Solid-state drive, the screen, and GPU engine, however, that’s where the starting setup varies.Â
Design
The Razer Blade 14 is similar in appearance to the Razer Blade 15, however, it is shorter. Featuring its full black aluminum frame and the iconic neon green razer emblem on the rear of the laptop, which has the same overall profile. Indeed, the emblem is illuminated.
Notwithstanding the thinner frame, there are many loudspeakers along both edges of the keyboard, giving it a MacBook-like appearance. But unlike Blade 14, though, the start button isn’t smack dab in the center from any of the loudspeaker louvers; rather, it’s a reliable electricity key in the upper right side of the keypad.
The keyboard is remarkably similar to that of any previous Razer Blade, with the exception that a handful of keys, particularly the “and ” credentials, have indeed been trimmed and are now extremely tiny. We don’t use these keys frequently, however, if you do want to utilize them frequently for whatever purpose, you should be conscious of it.
The laptop’s casing is only 0.66 inches in diameter, and it weighs only 3.92 pounds. Although it isn’t the thinnest notebook we’ve tested, the finely crafted aluminum mono shell makes it an impressive achievement that one will be capable of simultaneously transporting along in your bag.
Once you glance at the charging cable, though, a few of the wonder of the low weight is gone. Due to the obvious Razer Blade 14’s power, USB-C refueling isn’t an option like it is on many ultra-portable notebooks. That implies there’ll be a recharging block because while it’ll be tiny, you’ll always have to compensate for the extra weight. USB-C all provide power, but somehow it won’t have been enough to stay current with the electricity needs of gameplay.
Performance
Since this Razer Blade 14 is just so slim, certain concessions were unavoidable. Whereas the version we examined has an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080, it isn’t the quickest iteration of that GPU currently available in a laptop.
This seems to be because the RTX 3080 inside this laptop is designed to peak out at roughly 100W, instead of the full 165W which, for instance, the Alienware m17 R4 is capable of. This implies that the Razer Blade 14 is roughly 30percent worse in games than that of the Alienware m17, well with a portable laptop from Razer becoming a whopping 34percent sluggish in Metro Exodus on 1080p & Ultra levels.
Of fact, the Razer Blade 14 is substantially smaller than just the Alienware m17, and it’s not surprising that you won’t be able to just get the total balance of performance out of this one. However, you ought to be informed that, although both these notebooks include an RTX 3080, these are not always identical but have a very specified power consumption.
Camera and Microphone
The shooter on the Razer Blade 14 is adequate, and it isn’t capable of blowing broadcast fans away. This is 720p and also has Windows Hello functionality, although it’s a little grainy. In videoconferencing, we also notice that the camera trails behind the microphone.
