Razer Blade 14 Gaming Laptop: AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS CPU - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 GPU - 14" 16:10 QHD+ 240Hz -32GB DDR5 RAM - 1TB SSD - Windows 11 - Vapor Chamber Cooling - Chroma RGB - Mercury

I bought my last Razer 6 years ago on Amazon Warehouse and it was a total beast, still runs great and feels premium but just under powered. So I looked at Razer again and Amazon Warehouse, I did it again and bought another.I cannot begin to say how happy I am with my purchase and Razer is just as premium as ever. It's not cheap but this thing is built, never had an issue and it's been all over the world with me tossed around and look forward to another 6 years.You could get a cheaper one with similar specs but it's not gonna survive life outside a delicate and peaceful existence.Current setup is Ubuntu encrypted with Windows 11 facial unlock and passkey. I bought a 2 tb SSD

After my ASUS blew up I wasn't going back. Picked Razor for top quality. Its a Good device as described. Includes windows 11 no additional purchase needed. Runs like a champ. Battery life is not amazing or as described by most YouTube reviews. Realistically 3hrs of battery life tops. Maybe more if you don't download the razor bloatware for RGB and gaming control. Still happy with my purchase for gaming and other at home.Heatlevel - I don't sit in my lap much but typically only hot when gamimg.Noise level- depends on use. On average not bad. Highest settings it sounds like a plane is taking off.Power- workhorse.Screen- Beautiful

The Blade 14 feels like it was well designed. The finish is a bit of a finger print magnet, but it feels solid and high quality. The keyboard has a nice tactile feel, it's clicky without being very loud. Overall it feels like a compact premium laptop. Unfortunately the one I received didn't work, so this was a very expensive paper weight that I had to send back.My experience:The laptop I got was clearly refurbished which I was not expecting, so that was obviously not a great start. I unwrapped it from the stingy amount of bubble wrap, plugged it in, powered it on, and got a Windows error message right out of the gate. I rebooted and was able to finish the Windows 11 setup on my 2nd attempt, no big deal.First I tried to install Chrome and got a CPU timer error blue screen of death about halfway through the install. I rebooted and tried installing Steam, this time I get a different blue screen of death about a bad sector.Ultimately I'm not sure if the issue ended up being hardware or software, but when I ordered a $2000 laptop I expected to be at least be able to boot it up and install Chrome... I returned the Razr, and once the refund processes I will probably order an Alienware X-14.Update: I bought a Razer Blade 14 from a different seller and it's an excellent little machine.

Design: Extremely well finished, beautiful and elegant.Screen: Excellent color and brightness. I really liked it!CPU: super powerful, but hot.GPU: good gaming performance. Warzone at 160fps in QHD.Thermal: Works reasonably well. Due to its size, it is a hot laptop, its aluminum body helps thermal dissipation, however, under high load, the upper strip above the keyboard becomes very hot to the touch of your hands, with the sensation of burning your fingers if you leave them on for longer 5 seconds.Synapse program: simple and direct interface, however in this first installation of Windows 11 it crashes throughout the startup, having to restart it to be able to use it. Another point that I didn't like is the custom configuration, because in it I can adjust the cpu and gpu performance, which is great, but I can't adjust the fans at the same time, which would help reduce thermals.In Games: Great performance in games. I can play AAA games on high or ultra with it on a $10 cooled base while sitting on my couch for hours.At work: Great for work, very responsive.

The media could not be loaded. Quality build and great gaming performance as long as it’s plugged-in.I hope i got the good side of the produced product with so many reviews complaining receiving a defected product. Will update if anything goes wrong! Oh and yeah, the battery life is not it’s strongest suit, I’ll give you that.4 months in:Replaced the RAM from 16 to 32 G.B & SSD from 1 TB to 4 TB (Samsung 990 Pro)Performance is solid! Gaming is unbelievable for such a compact laptop. The screen is beautiful to look at. Great laptop! Only downside is the battery life.

Fantastic, compact, powerful, great as a work and gaming computer while on the move, going to the office, or as a second monitor while at home. Not a desktop replacement, but honestly close enough. Runs anything in my steam collection respectably well, even cyberpunk. Since it’s the 2023 model I got it for like 1700$, a full 500$ cheaper than the computer it’s replacing, which was an almost 7 year old MSI machine which had basically fallen apart.If you can get this at a discount, need something small, not looking for a desktop replacement, then this is the computer for you!

The machine is kick ass but it comes with Microsoft home as opposed to a much higher operating system and it is a chore to upgrade.

It’s actually crazy how well this laptop performs in such a clean, small form factor. The AMD Ryzen CPU is so efficient and makes so much sense compared to its Intel counterpart. You can game on a 14 inch fine if you want, or just plug an external, either or.Really the only issue is the battery life. I’m barely getting over 3 hours with just Chrome browsing and every setting I can find to limit power consumption. There must be something wrong with the drivers and its use of the dedicated GPU vs integrated. Still trying to find a fix. The battery will be easily replaceable down the line if I have to though (cover is very easy to remove, and it’s easily accessible from there).Also the speaker and keyboard quality flat out aren’t good.
