BTW, this is Andrei writing this part of the article. Since Razer directly pitches this Blade 14 against the ROG Zephyrus G14, and I wanted to add my thoughts on this as well. Update: Here’s our detailed review of the 2021 Razer Blade 14. I’m interested to hear if this is something of interest for you all too. Also check out Razer’s webpage for all three models, if you want to buy it directly from them.Īll in all, I’m really looking forward to getting a review unit in and putting it through the paces. Retailers such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Best Buy will have units on sale starting today. The best part is this Blade 14 is on sale right now, at launch. I think the real value is in the 3070 model at $2199 though, as it has the QHD screen and I doubt the 30 will have the performance difference to justify an extra $600.
Prices start at $1799 for the 3060 model and go up to $2799 for the 3080 model. In that case, we can probably expect 4-5 hours of battery life for normal tasks and settings. Razer claims 12 hours of battery life, with a test protocol that is similar to what I do for “idle” testing. The CPU being Ryzen base will likely help, even if it’s not an HS series. The battery is small, but this is nonetheless a small device.

Other notable mentions are the inclusion of up-firing speakers, a Windows Hello webcam, and a 61.6Whr battery.
Compared to the Blade 13 Stealth, it’s only 1 mm thicker and a little over half a pound heavier.Įither way, you look at it, this Blade 14 is small. On paper, it’s a tiny bit heavier than the 2021 Asus Zephyrus G14, but it’s 17% smaller in overall volume. Check out my latest Stealth 13 review for more details.Īs for the size, we’re looking at a laptop that’s only. The trackpad looks to be the same as well, which is great because that trackpad is perfect. The keyboard is likely going to be the same as what’s on the Razer Blade Stealth 13, and is chroma RGB enabled too. The SSD is 1 TB and is upgradeable, so no worries there. Bummer, 32 GB options would have been nice. The 3060 model is only available with a 144Hz FHD screen, but the other models are paired with a 165Hz QHD screen with 100% DCI-P3(yay!).Īt the same time, all models are locked into 16GB of soldered RAM, due to space concerns. There are three GPU options to choose from: RTX 3060, 3070 & 3080. We’ll soon find out when we get a review unit in to test. Even so, a 3070/3080 at around 80W is still faster than anything else out there at this weight class. But “up to” doesn’t necessarily mean it will stay there – it could very well sit at 80W under constant load. The GPU TGP is reportedly up to 100W, which is on par with what the Razer Blade 15 is set at. Per-key Chroma RGB keyboard, large clickpad, front speakers, HD camera + IR
