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

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.

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.
