I love razer, but I had to send in my razer blade 3 times within the year for warranty replacement. 1 for hissing noise when plugged in....another for MOBO replacement and the last one because it got so hot the laptop warped and would pivit on every desk.... I just...I like them but never again.
Been looking at getting something to upgrade from my old XPS15. At this point I’ve seen enough QC complaints about Razer to just not even look at them going forward
I pulled the trigger on getting last year‘s model (‘21 blade 14 w/ 3080) through Best Buy (Open Box Excellent Condition) for $1,400. Was worried about it being too good to be true but thought I could just return it if I didn’t like it. Well it was basically brand new, everything in the original packaging and NO minor scratches or dents. Literally brand new. Have been super content with my purchase since then and feel blessed. Will be holding on to this one for a LONG time lol.
If razer did the 15 and 17 models with ryzen processors, they would be a must-buy, just imagine a not so thick, good-looking laptop, high tdp and good battery life. But they seek only performance on the top models, so they go with intel for that 8% or so difference between the amd and intel.
Not so sure about that design, looks very similar to my old 2019 15 inch. 3years later and still got the same overheating issues same uncomfortable during gaming, same battery bloating.
I agree with everything said here. You have to remember though most consumers do have to think with their pocketbook in the end. That's where the Asus wins
@@bmryner90 That's their choice, I wouldn't purchase an Apple product either. I would however purchase the overpriced Razer product before an Apple product as it comes closer to meeting my needs.
So I got the 2021 blade 14 with the 3060 last year and I couldn’t be happier with the machine. Even on a 3060 it is a little beast. Locked fps on halo infinite. 144fps on ori. 93fps on Fortnite at max graphics. Jedi fallen order a locked 60fps at max graphics. Which for my needs is more than enough. Some people might want higher fps than that but I’m happy with mine
Had a HP Omen 15 R7/RTX3070 up until it took a tumble down the stairs. Was nice for a first gaming laptop, for a replacement I ended up getting a 2021 Blade 14 R9/RTX3080. While the performance difference is negligible for my use case, the metal chassis, screen, and the trackpad are leagues ahead of the Omen. I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The only thing I regret is not getting the 3070 model and using the extra for a nice monitor and peripherals, since the (at the time) 700/800 euro difference was so not worth it. Out of the box the battery life isn't so good(~3 hours) however after tweaking a load of settings and having battery saver always on when not plugged in, it easily gets (a reported by windows) 6+hrs battery life for browsing, video streaming, and whatnot. Only gripe is that I can't use the 3080 on battery power, it's not something I need often but sometimes I do have the urge to game on a train ride from work. Could be something to do with my aforementioned tweaks however not a massive issue for me. Only thing I felt was a little better on the Omen was the ability to upgrade ram and more key travel on the keyboard. However I've gotten used to the razer keyboard, really I think of it as a windows gaming machine in a MacBook Pro like chassis (reminiscent of the MacBook Pro 13" 2016 I had a couple years ago). I've already upgraded the SSD to 2tb, lack of ram upgradability is a little annoying but I can live with it
The g14 is legit better because the screen brightness. 500 nits vs 315 on the razer. I own the Razer 14 and I love my PC, but everyone says the worst thing about it is the RAM. I have never run out of RAM, but using this anywhere but a dark place indoors is impossible.
I spent more than this on the Surface Laptop Studio, which everyone hated. No regerts. My last Razer Blade was solid and my dad is still using today, so 👍
@@painboy66 imo, you need a good reason to go into gaming on a laptop at all compared to desktops. (Not saying you shouldn't do it but you really need a good reason, at $2000+ you could seriously get a $1500 desktop and a $500 laptop... ask yourself if you really need to game on the go)
@@higherdimensio not enough people consider this honestly. By getting a desktop instead you can use the money you save to get a switch or steam deck to use on the go too, and then have a better overall gaming PC experience
For most product, that 'apple' premium for example on most devices isn't worth it. But, I have to say over had the blade 15 and the g15 and the blade is leagues above, to the point it's worth the premium for me. I thought the g15 2022 was really nice when I got it, definitely a step up from an omen or a Acer nitro or something like that. But when I got the blade 14 in my hands afterwards, my god it makes everything else feel shite. It's the only laptop I've ever had, and I've had a few different premium laptops, that's the same build quality as a MacBook. It's lovely. If you can afford the blade, get the blade, it's worth the premium
I ordered this laptop after having the 17" Blade with the RTX 3080Ti graphics. I returned that laptop for the 2022 Blade 14 QHD, RTX 3070Ti model. In the real world (gaming), the experience is so much better, in terms of practicality and performance. I actually want to take this one with me and game on the go. The 17" felt cumbersome every time I took it out of my house. The Blade 14 is an incredible machine. Worth the price for the build quality and overall experience.
This comment has probs made my decision to get razer blade 14 as in my country is on great sale comparable to Lenovo and competitors so thank u very much 😊
For those who own this laptop, is anyone using Razer's USB-C 130W GaN charger? Wondering if it's a good investment for charging the laptop while travelling, as the charging brick it comes with is quite bulky.
Hot Intel chips and RAZER gets a pass for not bringing it under control on 4 grand…. Anyone remember the Intel MacBooks everyone screamed at how hot and uncontrollable they were pinning Apple to the tech cross… lol hypocrites
Razer is just too expensive for most all their products, and the quality for a long time has been hit, and miss, so I just avoid their products, and look for better values like used Lenovo Thinkpads, and ONN/Nokia Android tablets paired with Logitech K480 bluetooth keyboard.
My Razer blade 14 Laptop arrived with a hole in the screen and dead pixels which Best Buy was willing to exchange but denied by Razer. After arguing for days an RMA approved for repair at Ingram micro in Arizona who shipped the laptop back to me with a completely dead screen. Outsourced and awful tech support and very poor quality control. I have owned computers for over 33 years and this is by far my worst experience. Don’t believe paid reviewers on UA-cam or elsewhere the hype is real on poor service and build quality. Avoid at all costs if possible. I would not recommend this product or company to anyone unless you feel enjoy like you have been robbed of $2500 plus dollars
G14 has slightly better screen for non-gaming chores due to 8:5 AR in use... It also offers half-upgradable RAM... That's 50% better than what Razer and Apple offer. Still, even though Apple also uses non-user-replacable RAM, at least they're offering the opton to get higher capacities on day one... OK, maybe 64+GB might be an overkill currently for the target use-cases this is heralded to fulfill, but at least offering the Blade 14 in a 32GB higher speed RAM variant would have made more sense... Maybe let users/consumers decide which version they'd opt for - a >=32GB variant with JEDEC spec or say a 16GB but actually heavily overclocked DRAM - they do promote themselves as having engineering expertise of highest calibre, they should be capable of engineering such a unique 14-incher product stack. Heck, I wonder if Razer could even get AMD support to build "AMDvantage" solution in the 14-inch format, to further rival current G14s, whilst improving on the energy efficiency and heat management...
Hmm.. maybe for gaming.. I personally have to go for the 15' max out reason: I do vfx .. and even then I WILL need to upgrade to 64gb. Now there are mobile workstations from thinkpad that come with 128gb BUT they are much much more expensive , HUGE & have much more less core than the razer blade advance.
No, literally all graphics cards are WAY CHEAPER NOW. I own a gaming laptop but now theyre back to being a bad value vs a desktop. NVIDIA GPUs are maybe 10% over msrp now, AMD ones are priced BELOW msrp too. Edit:Graphics cards arent 2k(only the 3090ti is) And being generous to blade 14, at best it might compete with a 3060ti desktop. Thats a $380 card, a custom or prebuilt price would be 1-1.5k. Anything with a desktop 3070 or better would outperform this latop and still be significantly cheaper.
I’m currently looking to upgrade my laptop. I’ve always a had mbp but this time I’m considering this razor blade 14 3070ti, or a M1 max mbp 14 (price difference isn’t an issue). I have a high end gaming rig at home so a gaming laptop isn’t too necessary but I’ve never been able to pc game on the go and kinda want to experience it, but I can definitely live without it like i have been. I will also be starting contracted work that uses python which could be better on the mac. I’m also a Student. So I’m not sure if I should go the gaming route with the razor blade 14 or just stick with mbp and get the M1 max.
So Matt is the infamous WOW player that kept wiping in dungeons and raids because of using a Trackpad. An easy win in arena too if he was in your match.
“ I don’t blame Razer for the thermal issues” well then who do you blame? They are the ones that put it together, they are the ones that tested it, they knew how hot it got and they sold it to you anyways. Who else is there to blame?
I struggle to want to get this when the Asus zephyrus g14 exists, which has better battery life, is cheaper, and has upgradeable ram. Right now, on best buy I could get the RX6700s version for 1360 b4 tax.
I'm going to college and I am looking for a good computer. I'm going to be majoring in engineering and I will be using solid works. I just want to know if the computer can run the program and allow me to play games as well. I just love how small and compact it is but idk what to do.
I think it’s great it does get hot but that’s mostly because of the metal build. In my tests it only goes to 80°c on gpu and that’s the highest never gets hotter. BUT it’s all metal so you’ll feel it if it was plastic you’d definitely wouldn’t feel it
I have a MacBook pro 14 and the Blade 14 is really the most direct competitor to it from a PC manufacturer. If you want one computer to do everything and use are used to Apple build quality and Apple prices, then then the Blade 14 is not totally unreasonable. I honestly have a little bit of buyers remorse for not getting the blade 14 instead of the MacBook.
I wouldn’t say that, I never had a battery bloated, driver issues, overheating issues or shitty battery with my m1 MBP. Trust me your better of with your Mac. My friend got the blade 15 and he has had all those QC issues it’s ridiculous. And it’s not just him Look it up, razed is know for making shitty Laptops.
It's kinda crazy it starts at $3500 for the 3080ti model. My whole desktop setup cost over $1000 cheaper. I just built a PC a few weeks back with a 3080ti FE, a $200 11700k, ASUS Prime z590-M, 32gb ram, 2tb gen 4 NVME, a 240mm AIO for the CPU in a $75 Cooler Maser case, for a bit under $2k. Then $125 for a used 144hz 1440p Dell monitor. I cheaped out on a keyboard and mouse. I game with my $40 8Bitdo Pro 2 controller.
I mean, it's never been comparable to go desktop vs. laptops for cost. Manufacturing and engineering costs more, plus you're paying for the mobility. You'll always build a PC for cheaper than a similarly spec'd laptop.
I highly doubt that 3080 ti will perform anywhere close to its desktop counterpart. Laptops will never be as affordable as desktops or perform anywhere close just due to the form factor.
if you can believe it, someone sold me a completely locked razer blade 14 3080ti, for 1000$, it was bitlocked and it had its bios locked, luckily those are both easy fixes. now i have a 3080ti razer for 1000, i think thats a pretty fair price, sorry g14, i guess i have to sell you now.
Open Box is where is at. Just got the same 2022 3070ti for $1300. Very happy with the purchase, would've never paid the original asking price. All games on Ultra, no issues. Coming from a Macbook, the speakers leave a lot to be desired though.
If you look at used prices they're kinda similar to the g14. I got the 3070 2021 model last week and paid 1150, and a G14 with the 3060 was around 950. Not that big of a difference anymore.
my laptops keyboard is like 67% dead and some keys do what other keys should do and i have using touchpads and the battery is cooked and it's from 2011 toshiba satellite l655-1e9 i3 m380 and amd hd 5470m 512mb and imma use ut hard
where are you finding the g14 a $1000 cheaper? compare base model vs base model if youre talking about price. The price difference is worth the build quality btw. g14 runs really warm even when just using chrome to watch videos
I have a more base 15.6 legion gaming laptop I upgraded. When I game use the laptop & keyboard + wireless mouse. I fine no issue with laptop keyboards for gaming
Another point you guys missed regarding overall laptop experience is the support. Razer has been notorious for having absolutely horrible customer support.
Should I get razer blade 14 or Lenovo legion 5i pro with exact same specs but bigger screen I’ve heard battery on Lenovo isn’t great and build quality is not up to razer
I have the 3070ti blade 14 2022 and i love it. HOWEVER I'm afraid to game on it for more then 45 mins because it gets so hot you literally cannot touch it. I only play AAA games but i do so at the lowest settings possible for everything and still... way too hot. It heats up my entire room. I don't regret buying it but i know it's going to warp..
Razer is notorious for having mark ups on thesir products simply because of the name, not just build quality. I'd rather save myself the $1k and buy an Asus, IF I were in the market for a gaming laptop. For $3k, I'd rather build a gaming desktop.
In Australia the 15" 3080TI with 4k Display is $7k retail, however I am getting them for $5k from Amazon All issues below are out of the box. 1st one arrived with a blown right speaker, Bluetooth issues, and bad alignment from screen to body (screen lipped over on the right side) so I sent it back and got another one 2nd one arrived with dead pixels throughout the screen, sent back for replacement 3rd one has arrived and it glitches, it freezes, it sometimes refuses to connect to my monitor, videos lag, at times my mouse lags, and the touch pad double clicked (as to sound from the touch pad) instead of one click when pressing down on it. DO NOT BUY, hands down the worse quality control from a company, its a shame because I wanted it to work so badly hence why I tried so many times. Best looking laptops on the market but they just don't work. Also heat management is very bad. Very upsetting considering how much they cost.
Bought my girl the 2021 Blade 14 with the RTX 3070 used from amazon for $1,735 back in march of this year, my plan is to buy myself the 2022 version next year used or on discount at Best Buy, or the 2023 variant in 2024, I'm in no rush since my ROG GA502DU works fine. My point is don't buy this at full price if you can wait.
I was recently looking into getting a used blade 14 or 15, and did some research on whether that affects razers warranty. It does. If you go used just know razer will treat you like you device has no warranty, even if it still does.
It’s disappointing for $950 more than the g14 the blade doesn’t beat its speakers. Those nice new speaker holes don’t excuse the cheap sound. Razer makes ambitious products but they need to keep improving the core experience to match their pricing.
Now I’m stuck between getting the blade 14 or 15 with a 3070ti in it because I want the bigger screen but sacrificing battery life because of the intel vs amd cpu. What is the difference between the two in battery life?
Razor Blade 15 - 65Wh to 80Wh Razor Blade 14 - 61.6Wh Their is a 1.6 inch difference in sizes Weight 15 - 4.6 pounds 14 - 3.92 pounds Performance wise, depends on your GPU option
We need a standardized system for laptops. Then we can go buy any frame and display panel, slap in the MOBO and CPU we want, then slot in the mobile GPU. It only makes sense with how desktops are made.
I love razer, but I had to send in my razer blade 3 times within the year for warranty replacement. 1 for hissing noise when plugged in....another for MOBO replacement and the last one because it got so hot the laptop warped and would pivit on every desk.... I just...I like them but never again.

The correct choice is the Blade Stealth 13, now they just need to update it!
I have a MacBook pro 14 and the Blade 14 is really the most direct competitor to it from a PC manufacturer. If you want one computer to do everything and use are used to Apple build quality and Apple prices, then then the Blade 14 is not totally unreasonable. I honestly have a little bit of buyers remorse for not getting the blade 14 instead of the MacBook.
I wouldn’t say that, I never had a battery bloated, driver issues, overheating issues or shitty battery with my m1 MBP.
Trust me your better of with your Mac. My friend got the blade 15 and he has had all those QC issues it’s ridiculous. And it’s not just him Look it up, razed is know for making shitty Laptops.
The RAM is the deal-breaker for me.
It's kinda crazy it starts at $3500 for the 3080ti model. My whole desktop setup cost over $1000 cheaper.
I just built a PC a few weeks back with a 3080ti FE, a $200 11700k, ASUS Prime z590-M, 32gb ram, 2tb gen 4 NVME, a 240mm AIO for the CPU in a $75 Cooler Maser case, for a bit under $2k. Then $125 for a used 144hz 1440p Dell monitor. I cheaped out on a keyboard and mouse. I game with my $40 8Bitdo Pro 2 controller.
I mean, it's never been comparable to go desktop vs. laptops for cost. Manufacturing and engineering costs more, plus you're paying for the mobility. You'll always build a PC for cheaper than a similarly spec'd laptop.
I highly doubt that 3080 ti will perform anywhere close to its desktop counterpart. Laptops will never be as affordable as desktops or perform anywhere close just due to the form factor.
if you can believe it, someone sold me a completely locked razer blade 14 3080ti, for 1000$, it was bitlocked and it had its bios locked, luckily those are both easy fixes. now i have a 3080ti razer for 1000, i think thats a pretty fair price, sorry g14, i guess i have to sell you now.
Open Box is where is at. Just got the same 2022 3070ti for $1300. Very happy with the purchase, would've never paid the original asking price. All games on Ultra, no issues. Coming from a Macbook, the speakers leave a lot to be desired though.
If you look at used prices they're kinda similar to the g14. I got the 3070 2021 model last week and paid 1150, and a G14 with the 3060 was around 950. Not that big of a difference anymore.
my laptops keyboard is like 67% dead and some keys do what other keys should do and i have using touchpads and the battery is cooked and it's from 2011 toshiba satellite l655-1e9 i3 m380 and amd hd 5470m 512mb and imma use ut hard
lol i dont understand why they dont make 32gb version... this is not even a competitor to G14 because of this, for most people...
Missing the thunderbold on this....
where are you finding the g14 a $1000 cheaper? compare base model vs base model if youre talking about price. The price difference is worth the build quality btw. g14 runs really warm even when just using chrome to watch videos
I have a more base 15.6 legion gaming laptop I upgraded. When I game use the laptop & keyboard + wireless mouse. I fine no issue with laptop keyboards for gaming
Another point you guys missed regarding overall laptop experience is the support. Razer has been notorious for having absolutely horrible customer support.
Should I get razer blade 14 or Lenovo legion 5i pro with exact same specs but bigger screen I’ve heard battery on Lenovo isn’t great and build quality is not up to razer
Austin was partial to intel we could see that , he changed the subject when other guy said AMD is solving the problem here …..
I have the 3070ti blade 14 2022 and i love it. HOWEVER I'm afraid to game on it for more then 45 mins because it gets so hot you literally cannot touch it. I only play AAA games but i do so at the lowest settings possible for everything and still... way too hot. It heats up my entire room. I don't regret buying it but i know it's going to warp..
its been over a year since you posted this. Has anything changed?
@@aquathecolor I got a cooling pad that took care of the heat while gaming. Still an amazing laptop I use it every day and I love it
@@aquathecolor also since getting the cooling pad I can play games at max setting without worry
@@bananaClips666 Thanks for the response. I just picked up a 3080ti model and noticed the heat is crazy so might have to get a cooling pad myself
i don’t think that the amd razer blade 14 is good cuz the price is like macbook price that i can’t afford and i still don’t trust amd
Razer MACBOOK of windows but doesn’t get any of the crap APPLE GETS …
How does that 14 do running LINUX EX -Zorin distro.
Yo I played wow with track pad for years too... and the tab button... and a consol controller... All but the "right way" 😅
0:52 joke so bad my pc crashed
Did they fix the swelling battery issue????? I didnt buy one because if the history
Glad I got mine with the 3070ti for $1799 on Black Friday 😄
Hi Do you know if I can run an Oculus Rift S on this or any other VR headset?
::Me, chillin with my Razer Blade Touch from 2014::
dont know i can not even afford a 500 dollar laptop let along , a 900 dollar one or 1,000 dollar laptop.
The only Turn off is their isn't any option to upgrade Ram or a ssd slot like ROG G14 it's so hard
zephyrus g14 is better than this right now if razer focuses more on the quality of the screen
Razer is notorious for having mark ups on thesir products simply because of the name, not just build quality. I'd rather save myself the $1k and buy an Asus, IF I were in the market for a gaming laptop. For $3k, I'd rather build a gaming desktop.
Really wish I could afford a razer blade laptop instead of my surface laptop go.. I hate that laptop now lol..
I just bought the razer blade 15 and my screen is black on the first day ? Wtf need help ?
return for refund don't even play around with Razer
@Keith Benjamin I did return it I'm just going to go with apple
The razed 15 with the 3070ti doesn’t get as hot and has gsync
I’ll stick with my 16” M1 Pro MacBook Pro lol
In Australia the 15" 3080TI with 4k Display is $7k retail, however I am getting them for $5k from Amazon
All issues below are out of the box.
1st one arrived with a blown right speaker, Bluetooth issues, and bad alignment from screen to body (screen lipped over on the right side) so I sent it back and got another one
2nd one arrived with dead pixels throughout the screen, sent back for replacement
3rd one has arrived and it glitches, it freezes, it sometimes refuses to connect to my monitor, videos lag, at times my mouse lags, and the touch pad double clicked (as to sound from the touch pad) instead of one click when pressing down on it.
DO NOT BUY, hands down the worse quality control from a company, its a shame because I wanted it to work so badly hence why I tried so many times. Best looking laptops on the market but they just don't work. Also heat management is very bad. Very upsetting considering how much they cost.
Don’t buy from Amazon that’s the real scam lol 😂
On Amazon it costs around 2185 dollars
Late to the party. Planning to get my first gaming laptop. Blade 14 or Alienware x14? Assuming similar specs
blade 14... you need money tho
I watched this on my 2022 blade 14 and I agree
I got good at WOW PVP on my old macbook trackpad
razer, needs. to. cut. all. prices. in. half.
Just found this channel today. One video in and I'm subbed 😘
No i will not
Bought my girl the 2021 Blade 14 with the RTX 3070 used from amazon for $1,735 back in march of this year, my plan is to buy myself the 2022 version next year used or on discount at Best Buy, or the 2023 variant in 2024, I'm in no rush since my ROG GA502DU works fine. My point is don't buy this at full price if you can wait.
I was recently looking into getting a used blade 14 or 15, and did some research on whether that affects razers warranty. It does. If you go used just know razer will treat you like you device has no warranty, even if it still does.
Sheesh Razer got them MacBook prices 😅
Between the 3070ti blade 14 and the 32gb g14 they are the same price. Then which one would you pick?
@Limes89 is 16gb enough for entry level video editing… videos shot with phone
Wait what...? 2600.00 $ a sweet spot ?
It’s disappointing for $950 more than the g14 the blade doesn’t beat its speakers. Those nice new speaker holes don’t excuse the cheap sound. Razer makes ambitious products but they need to keep improving the core experience to match their pricing.
Now discuss the G14 2022 vs it.
I would take a rog g14 over this.
Now I’m stuck between getting the blade 14 or 15 with a 3070ti in it because I want the bigger screen but sacrificing battery life because of the intel vs amd cpu. What is the difference between the two in battery life?
Razor Blade 15 - 65Wh to 80Wh
Razor Blade 14 - 61.6Wh
Their is a 1.6 inch difference in sizes
Weight
15 - 4.6 pounds
14 - 3.92 pounds
Performance wise, depends on your GPU option
Razer might just be the next Alienware
I'm good with my Omen 15😂😂
We need a standardized system for laptops. Then we can go buy any frame and display panel, slap in the MOBO and CPU we want, then slot in the mobile GPU. It only makes sense with how desktops are made.
Framework much?
Just first time to come early😂
The new Alienware?
Got it. Loving the experience
Ha! Planning to get it anyways.
This is not long enough
i would love to buy it but seems like razer doesnt know what localisation and world wide shipping is
Hopefully they do world wideshipping 😭
@@angeld.5914 They dont ship to switzerland so no, that's not world wide
