2023 Razer Blade 14 Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 чер 2023
- The 2023 Razer Blade 14 gets updated CPUs and GPUs. As ever, this is a posh, black MacBook of a gaming laptop with a CNC aluminum anodized chassis, exquisite attention to fit and finish and a price tag to match. It has 1 4” QHD+ full P3 gamut 240Hz display, 140 watt NVIDIA RTX 4060 / 4070 dedicated graphics and AMD’s new Ryzen 9 7940HS processor (5.2GHz, 4nm, Zen 4). New are 2 RAM slots for upgradable memory and there’s a full HD webcam with Windows Hello and a privacy shutter. It competes with the Alienware X14 and Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 and perhaps even the 14” MacBook Pro.

Been following your channel for years! Started watching your Thinkpad reviews a long time ago. It's awesome that you're soon up to 1 million subs!! :D
THANKS FOR REVIEWING THIS!
The most trusted reviews available.
thank you! such an amazing review, you really went through everything!!
I have 2 touchscreen oled razers from 2020. Can't wait to upgrade once the 18inch version comes out with touchscreen
Is there any plan to review the Framework 16 once it becomes available?
Would this model and spec out be VR ready?
Could you review the Blade 15? I know is the same brand, but the internals are quite different.
Love the car comparison
Love the car references maybe a future car review? keep up the great work 👍🏽
That would be waaaayyy too much fun!!!
I really like the car reference
OLED?
Lovely. I just wished we could ordered it online and choose the keyboard layout (ex: Portuguese), as you can with Apple at least here in Europe.
Ive been a fan for years!! Excellent work as usual :)
I have a 2021 blade 14. And i love it. Except for the soldered ram.. and its only 16 gb
why motion blur on tho it messes up the clarity
0:56 looks like you didnt put the bottom case back on together correctly??? Razer has always done this weird thing where the middle part can be a little tricky to put back together...
I have a 2016 Blade 14 and I changed the battery many times (bought on ebay) and Razer refused to sell me a battery and wanted me to send them my laptop for who knows how long, freight paid by me, for a simple battery swap... Is it still the same? This fact that they do not sell replacement batteriesd is a game changer... any comments?
and thats why i chose thinkpad
Razer customer support sucks...been like this for years
@@vn01208503what computer do you have or recommend friend?
@@trilingualkid yeah they take your money and leave you hanging. Even if the product you bought is faulty, they will try their hardest NOT to fix the problem
Lenovo legion 5. Best laptop I’ve ever owned
Why aren't we talking about your badass shirt. Love it, great review
Awesome stuff!
Forget the laptop, I just come here for the T-Shirts. damn that's a nice T-Shirt!
Are you going to review the Blade 18 with 4090 ?
You are and will always be the best! Great review.
Really cool. The Mercedes Benz AMG GT is one of my most favorit cars. Not entirely practical so I went with the E53 AMG instead Lol
I’m thinking of going for it. 14 is perfect for my needs
g14 much better
@switch-_-blade951 depends what you want "much better" is a stretch. Some people place high amount of important on aesthetic and build quality. With a lid skin this transforms into a non gamer looking laptop.
@@switch-_-blade951 Asus? All plastic. Good for the price though. I had one at one point, it was decent value. SSD died quick, had to replace and then rebuild my data.
@@switch-_-blade951 s14 even better
Have the 16" of this and it is an amazing machine. I love it!
Still running well? I'm considering a 16 or 14 inch as well, which specs did you go with?
@@Riverpeth Maxed out everything. It is still going strong with no issues. Just a great laptop. I am used to high end MacBook Pro’s and this feels just as solid. No complaints at all.
Razer - Blade 16 - 16'' Gaming Laptop - Dual Mini LED 4K UHD+FHD - Intel i9 HX - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 - 32GB RAM - 2TB SSD - Black
$4300 investment
@@whoistheroach136 Amazing! How's the battery life been for you?
@@Riverpeth THAT is where it falls flat on its face. But, I only let it charge to 80% (via settings). I keep it plugged in while I am using it and then disconnect the cord when I am not. This is almost a strict gaming laptop, except for Quicken and surfing the web. I use my MacBook Pro for most other things like video editing and some Mac compatible games. My use of the MacBook Pro has significantly declined since getting the Razer. The Razer feels that good. Ahh, I forgot one downside to the Razer. The pad is so large that I had some problems with it interfering with my gaming by not rejecting any palm pressure touching it. It is hard not to touch it. So I have the pad disabled through the software setting. I use a Logitech MX Master 3S wireless mouse with it when I do anything. What a great feeling mouse. So comfortable.
@@Riverpeth Keep in mind the 16" is on an Intel processor, the 14" is the only Razer with an AMD processor. Not a huge deal but it's important to know.
best tshirts hands down !
I m waiting for ThinkPad e14 gen 5 review
Wait, without G-sync, how does MUX boost the performance? Or does it?
2 different things. G-Sync is for smoother visuals, not for performance.
Always the best tees! ❤
This should come with a NVIDIA RTX 4080 dGPU at 140W. I think the USB4 ports support Thunderbolt 3/4. I also wish it had a touch screen.
No then ppl won't buy the Blade16 anymore! Razer being Razer, just like Apple.... Making you pay more for something u don't like
@@hritamnath4919 Blade 16 4080 i got for $3700 before tax couldn't hit 80 FPS 4k Ultra Cyberpunk
4090 Legion 7 Pro 4090 that cost me $2700 hitting 130 FPS
Razer 16 Time Spy 17k
Legion 7 Pro Time Spy 21k
Razers laptops need a complete redesign to remain competitive thermally and actually push the performance they charge for. It was absolutely insane to me idc what anyone has to say about Lenovo having a "plastic deck" that at least doesn't get hot enough to burn my hands.
If i sound pissed I AM. I've wanted a razer since I was a KID!!! I finally get one and its ASS?!?!
bro. PISSED.

@@rob465 u got 4090 for less than 3 grands? 😲😲😳
@@hritamnath4919 you will need to deal hunting like crazy but its possible, ive seen that deal b4
@@hritamnath4919 Yeah, pricing for Razer laptops is crazy, a just cancel my razer order, Bought gaming pc for 1000 and macbook pro m2 for same money
That shirt goes hard.
so - if you had to choose one, Asus M16 or Razer 14? - both same price... you loved both... which one you like more?? 🙂
I like it. I just wish they would have made an all AMD laptop with that cpu and a 7900xt.
Do AMD even make 7900xt Mobile GPUs? I have not seen one.
@@CDubbsW0rldyes some zephyrus laptops had them but it was only in 2022 or something
Max Fan Mode deserves its own room separate from the user😂
Just use some ANC headphones and you will be fine.
came for the blade review, stayed for the kakashi t-shirt
Gets hot and fan is too loud imo. 🔥
Idk if I was dead set on a 14” gaming laptop the g14 seems much better.
Reliable reviews as usual. Would be great to get Lenovo 9i Pro reviewed - dubbed the creators laptop. Any search just gives sponsored review but not real ones. Please help to do. With Windows being more geared towards AI capabilities, need something that has decent graphics and neural cores plus anything that can help software development along side.
It's pretty disappointing that they don't have a mini-LED or OLED in it. Probably 90% of people who think they need 240fps don't even need it anyway.
My favorite line is.."what's 8Whs between friends "
Very nice!
Did they fix battery bloat, touchpad software, and overheating issues??
I had to return my 2021 Blade 14, 4x. Each one had a different issue. lol
I will not buy it if the battery does that
Probably have to wait a couple months for longer term reviews. Seems like they fixed the overheating but who knows. This person I know got a Razer Book 13 and the bottom of the laptop warped due to overheating. I don't think I've ever heard of a laptop doing that before. It didn't even have a dedicated GPU, just Intel iris graphics AND a vapor chamber
Hey, my son has the same exact shirt! 😅
Lisa if you needed a gaming laptop and could wait to buy a gaming laptop till the holiday sales, which would it be?
I mostly play World of Warcraft and don't want it to run like a toaster.
I purchased a Razer laptop back in 2015 and I have regretted it since.
I'll check it out in their L.A. store.
They didn't have them a week ago, but they said soon so probably by the time you go
I checked it out in Paramus, NJ and I fell in love with it. Now if the speakers didn't just fail on Linux and it had a 4080 option...
Hey!..Thanks Much !.......
I'm not buying anything until Lisa from Mobile Tech Review approves it.
I'm trying to Order it but i always get a offer if i want to buy shaving cream with it
Its a shame that there is no number pad still 😢...I have the rtx 2070 model and still has no number pad
I want this (mercury finish) because it combines the aspects of a thin and light with the power of a full fledged gaming laptop. Only issue is the price my wallet is shot
no sd card slot you did not mention why, you ususally, would have rather you reviewed the 16 and 18 inch, This is not very impressive to me. I am sorry Lisa but not too many people care about the 14 inch, Why havent' you reviewed the new 16 and 18 inch yet?
super
always appreciate grandma reviewing laptop.
Razer products are not good value but Razer is not interested in building affordable products. They want the prestige that comes with a large price tag. If Razer was having trouble selling their products then the price would be a valid criticism.
niceee
If this is actually available everywhere that would help
If this just had a 4080, i think this would be amazing. Not with a 4070...
Thermals. Chassis size. Etc.
@@misterhoeflak ...Except this is capable of a near full powered 4070. They could easily fit the 4080 into the power envelope of this. Maybe not full power, but it would still be better than a 4070.
If only the VRAM was 12GB since it's a QHD+ screen.
Not a MacBook.
razer laptops always got bloated battery issues
I don't understand you have fans running around you all day if you have air conditioning if you have heating have a fan running but that doesn't. Bother you all of a sudden. It's a big deal on a computer. That's really stupid
Nothing has changed with their support. It's still the worst of all the laptop brands. Avoid them.
Razer never again
Just build a desktop and get a macbook. Do something else besides gaming if you're going out.
I will never buy another razor again absolute garbage. Terrible customer service.
Send me that laptop 🥹
This looks like a razer ad. They are atrocious in costumer service idk what world you live in being paid by all these companies. People who actually use their products for more than just 2 weeks know whats what.
1st
Not a fan of razer. If they made a 16" version of this with no discrete gpu and gave it a num pad for under 2k (with 32gb of ram), id be interested. As is, hard pass.
You are in dream-lala land if you think they would make a 16" with no dGPU. Kindly tell me which laptop you are a fan of and which laptop comes with those specs?
You are not the desired clientele
Razer decided sometime in 2022 to force everyone to create a Razer ID and log into their account to retain their savings on their peripherals using Razer's bloaty software. YOU CAN NO LONGER SAVE YOUR BASIC COLOR SETTINGS. Of course, many people have already purchased peripherals from them before this forced adoption. I tested it using a new account and a new email and sure enough, I started getting spammed by random emails. Razer data-mines you and, moreover, this practice fucking utterly deplorable to force users to sign up for their account to use the functions on their peripherals without telling disclosing this fact. No one should be buying Razer products until they stop this practice!!!
should have created a fake account then completely forget about it
Razer laptops in 2023 = overpriced hot garbage
Why can't Apple make such an upgradeable laptop?
because f@ck you, that's why - mr job's corpse says so
Apple Silicon is based on ARM, that uses system on chip, so we are talking older Intel systems versus the latest tech from Apple where we get improved latency, better thermals, shared memory, and cheaper costs.
Boring laptop
Crazy to think people really pay this much for so little.
I love the laptop, but not the size. for me, 14 inches is atrociously small. 16 inches minimum ! Long live real monitors !
And the 16" Blade is an absolute chunk of metal! They should've kept a thin option as well
