The price alone is why it is alway hard to recommend a blade over anything else comparable. I wanted a blade so bad but for the performance difference the price is never justifiable.

[@pucciox40]

Me too, but I'm a sucker for that "solid black aluminium block"

[@maildump4395]

Exactly. I’ve only have a Blade 15 because I bought it second hand for a really good price.

[@thraxberserker9960]

Facts, I've only had a used razer laptop which I bought for the same price I could have got a new laptop from a different brand, needless to say it wasn't worth it.

[@jimmyrichards5595]

I had a Razer Blade 15 Base early 2020 model, which I recently gave to a Vietnam Vet I work with for his Birthday. Anyway, I really loved that laptop! But yeah, Razer has really raised prices. It seems more so than other laptop manufacturers. To the point to where I wouldn’t recommend one. Even though I am also a sucker for that solid black aluminum block, as Jacobo Puccini put it above.

[@nicolasanderson]

I was debating it last year over a gigabyte laptop and the price difference was ~$1000 for the 3080 version between the 2 and the gigabyte version came with more ram and 2tb of nvme drives

[@georgefa]

The G14 just keeps getting better every year. I was going to upgrade from my 2020 G14 but I think I'll hold back until we hear some more news about Zen 4 and when it'll be coming to laptops.

[@kaeroseon]

Really hope they won’t jack up the price again, cuz then it becomes really out of reach for many people. Also hope they make the design even more minimal.

[@filip.a.]

zen 4 mobile CPU's will feature phoenix line of 30-45W in first half of 2023 for thinner laptops while thicker gaming laptops will get dragon range of 55W+, more cache, better clocks for longer in same time period, only question is if you can/want to wait until about this time next year, expect performance to be about 15-20% better, im hearing that phoenix line will have even better APU with more units meaning u wont need a discrete gpu to run AAA games at 60-80 fps + when they come out that is... now i dont think im gonna be buying a laptop with zen 4, as il probably gonna build a custom pc with zen 4 and rdna 3 when they come out later this year.

[@georgefa]

@@kaeroseon Yes the pricing can be the biggest drawback for most people looking to purchase these devices.

[@georgefa]

@@filip.a. I wish I could just build a PC but a laptop makes much more sense since I commute a lot. The jump in performance may be 15~20% in comparison to the 6900HS but when you compare it to my 4900HS it's well worth the wait. Now we just wait and hope it won't cost as much as car to get these laptops...

@@georgefa G14 in US for top config costs like 1799 or 1899 $, while in EU it starts at 1900 for 6700s gpu and 2-2,1k eur for 6800s gpu, so quite some difference, while any other gaming laptop from asus/msi are about 2,2-2,6k eur at the minimum, i dont want to spend so much money for laptop performance compared to even midrange gpu/cpu for next gen things that come out later this year..

[@Rizzo2009]

This is exactly the review I was waiting for and I appreciate that it came out so soon. I'd be curios to see the same comparison in games to the previous Blade 14 to see if the step up in CPU and GPU make a difference but that G14 is a heck of a price, especially when you can get it with 32 gigs of ram for the cost of that Blade. Great content my dude, thanks for your hard work!

You are right mate . The g14 delivers , the upgrade is better than 2020 ,it went from 25ms to 3ms . Awesome

Thing about the Blade series is it only takes a little bit of research to find out the "premium" build is only skin deep. Doesn't do much good when the battery is going to do a surprise firework show within a year.

[@Rizzo2009]

I have the 2021 Blade 14 and I agree, it's nice that they pull ram to allow games to use the ram that's needed, but it is just a shame that you can't get it with 32. That vapor chamber just takes the space away. Hopefully with Ryzen 7000 series they can work some magic to make those have 32 gigs of ram, that'd be an instant purchase from me.

[@saptarshimukherjee7701]

I completely agree that blade 14 has a tighter hinge but the reason why this happens at 3:49 is not just because the hinges are too loose rather due to ergolift when you are lifting up the g14 a part of the display is touching the table and creating a torque that makes the display open up instead of staying in place.

Depends on where you live. The G14 here in Europe is about ~2500 for that spec. Whilst the Blade is about ~2700. At that point the Blade it's 3070ti is just a much better performance per €

[@ryziopl]

1:30 why do you compare everything to MacBook? The MacBook is not an indicator of either quality or the way hardware should be made. You're clearly a fan of Apple, Apple has never created anything that can even be called "Pseudo Gaming" hardware.

[@ssuaswgamer]

I would love to see a side by side comparison of 16, 15 and 14 inch form factors of multiple brands within hard budget brackets. Ranking on the basis of performance then on the basis of portability (battery, ports, weight) which often inverts the rankings. At the end of the segment you could suggest use cases for each laptop. I feel this info is stuff that you often cover and is lacking in a lot of other reviews, just havent seen it all in one place.

[@RolandDrummer77]

I have the Asus flow x13 and I’ve been very impressed. Asus is killing it lately and Razer seems to just be riding on their name. Products are still good but…competition’s catching up and passing

[@Qoozord]

it drains battery of the tablet under load when pluged in :

[@ekinteko]

Agreed. Besides ThinkPad, ASUS have been making the better quality laptops for ages (vs Toshiba, Lenovo, HP, Dell, etc etc). That is until Razer got ambitious with their Blade lineup. I still think the Blade 14 has the better body, touchpad, keyboard, speakers, mics, camera, touchscreen, ports and OS bloat. But it cannot compete with the G14 when it comes to battery size and cooling, at price parity. So picking one up for cheaper is just a no-brainer. ASUS has come a long way since the first G14 units, and Razer has to go back to the workshop and improve their products if they're serious about the market.

[@billybruce739]

Are you going to review the X14? I know you're not a fan but the CPU performance is probably better. If they figure out how to put in a more powerful GPU with future revisions then I think it could compete with these two.

[@sinmiloluwalawal8989]

The max out g14 with ryzen 69000hs delivers excellent and the milliseconds has changed a lot. It went from 25ms to 3ms

There is a clear winner here and that is the one with the 16:10 display. I have worked/studied on many smaller sized 16:9 and that will never do it again, such a pain... 16:10 format is simply superior for small laptops like these.

@@MJ-yf3yk I'm not Matt, nor do I own these devices. But I would choose the G14 (if I were in your position) mainly due to the battery life difference, the better keyboard (you will be using office apps), and the price difference of $430. I would also go for 16Gb over 24Gb due to the performance boost from having dual-channel RAM. Hardware Canucks and Jarrod's Tech have a good explainer on what that is. P.S. I love Razer's aesthetic, but a glowing green snake on the lid doesn't look very professional (if you care about that sort of thing).

In my mind, razer is never "worth it" in terms of value. The minute you start comparing and looking for the differences it becomes obvious that the razer laptop doesn't offer much more in order to match its higher price tag. You pay for the slick appearance and build quality and the brand prestige. That's about it. The g14 has been great value-wise since its launch, so I don't think anyone should be cross shopping the 2. They have different target groups.

[@emissarygw2264]

I definitely am cross shopping them. I care a lot about both design and performance, and they both roughly hit all the right check boxes on power, portability and display quality. Razer is biased more toward design but the g14 is biased more toward price/performance and has the 16:10 screen, and personally for me it's a tough choice.

X14 R2 is the better buy for 2K and under. Much better CPU w/ 32GB of ram. Also can be powered off any 100w USB-C charger w/ full turbo/gaming performance (will get battery drain tho) unlike 99% of gaming laptops (Asus/MSI). You can get a X14 w/ 12700H/3060/32Gb/1TB for around $1800 right now (w/ 10% dell email newsletter coupon). One thing that doesn't get talked about enough w/ the G14's in reviews is the terrible backlight bleed present on nearly every unit. I say "nearly" to be nice. Even the 2022 one has people exchanging 3 or 4 of them & simply giving up. Couple that w/ Razers 16GB limit on the Blade 14 and you're not left with many options to choose from.

[@rossdev]

Some fair points and $1800 is a very decent price for the X14. In the EU though, spec'ing up the X14 like that will cost you €2500 ($2400 approx), with 10% discount then €2250 but still a lot! I generally like Alienware products and have owned quite a few over the years, but I can't bring myself to buy the X14. My first issue is the depth of 262mm, it is deeper than my Legion 7i which has a 16" display and for me that completely negates the other advantages it has in terms of portability. I travel abroad frequently, I feel I may as well shove the Legion in my rucksack as the X14 will have a similar footprint even it is lighter and slimmer. The other gripes I have are the lack of a QHD option and somewhat limited gpu options maxing out at 3060.

[@Watchandlearn91]

I get that Razor is marketing their devices as premium products and therefore must charge a premium price but when the competition is this good, they really have to step up their game to justify it. 16GB soldered on RAM is not enough for anyone doing professional work on that device.

With the G14 back using Nvida cards the Razer is very hard to recommend even if the ram and SSD isnt fully soldered anymore. Razer prices are just absurd. They used to be way more reasonable and had a small Razer tax but the build quality and features justified it. Others have caught up and now your paying for the name and the Macbook clone design with a Razer tax that would make Apple do a double take. Even used Razor laptops are stupid money I see 2019 1060 Max Q laptops listing for $1000+ even now.

I like Razer laptops, but these annoying thick chins are on their displays get me upset... Does anyone know when they will remove them or make this things thinner? Matthew could you please ask Razer about this issue?))) 🙏

[@usmannaeem]

Here's the thing, no matter what the form factor Laptop speakers should only exist as upward facing PERIOD.

[@michaelnavarro7456]

i have the blade 14 with 3080 TI......yeah, never going with anything less. The build quality, it being way thinner, quieter, and being able to get 100-120fps on warzone @max 1440p....its incomparable. Sure, battery sucks, but hey, I never need to have 6 or more hours of battery life....like ever.

[@maxlu2456]

Do you still have the blade 14? My razer laptops keep dying 1-2 years into its life.

[@B1aDePP]

U probally made a mistake in your charts in Wqhd comparison. 113 frams are probally more then 95 :P based on the chart both notebooks are equal, sir.

6900HS/6800S/6800M Laptops rip in Solid Works for the Adult Professionals out there.

[@technological4090]

i think i would just settle on a used blade 14, i found listings for 800. rtx 30 series amd cpus and 1tb models and good condition too

[@unkown34x33]

There's only one thing I know... I would never go with razer again. After owning 3 broken blades...

[@Wistbacka]

Razer really need to stop overcompensating with their hardware. There is no point of putting an HX class CPU into a chassi this thin.

[@Kekeripo]

Man, razer needs to bring back the gun metal or titanium color choice. That black looks good until you need to use it and the white/mercury is just... ehh.

[@mmarsh1972]

I lik the look of the Razer, but $700. No. I'd rather get the G14 and a Steam DECK at that price.

[@brunsniggel]

You got it completely wrong - the cassie of the G14 is not plastic, it is made of magnesium. +1 compared to aluminium

[@nawwk79]

Even if Asus performs poorer than Razer, I’d buy the Asus because Razer is just overpriced crap.

[@shadowform1264]

What are talking about?! Alienware x14 is way Better than those 2, only price is that laptop downside loool

[@tomlee45]

razer blade laptops have such a terrible battery swell that they had to extend their battery warranty by 2 years. that's enough for me not to recommend it even though i think the build quality is nice.

[@nick_koh]

Razer is just like any other Singaporean company that blood sucks consumers.

[@CarlFernandes]

Blade is completely unreliable. Got one in 2020 - dodgy display port and now bsod all the time. Useless

[@direwensik2481]

I wanna replace my current laptop, HP notebook 16s with G14 ...

[@MeBarnson]

If the blade only used a 16:10 display as well, it would be worth it to me.

[@c.m.7037]

Razer quality control is horrible along with their over all quality isn't great. Asus for me!

[@smcervantess4945]

So can someone break down why AMD graphics card does poor on CAD programs such Blender?

[@evil-resident]

im glad i heard about the g14 before investing in a £3000 laptop that has the lowest level of nits a laptop that price can offer

[@amuseworkshop8883]

As an owner of 3 Blades within the last 4 years; their speakers always f***g SUCK

[@VirtualFunction]

G14 hands down, razer actually make a macbook look like value for money...

[@shubopro]

currently the Razer Blade 14 with same epecs is below 2000, sooooooo?

[@hridoyabdullah5133]

Hasn’t any new good laptop released in 2022 which price is around 1000$?

[@thenubianspeaks4329]

Are you kidding me about the sound of the laptop when it closes, wow, who cares, come on man

[@Aesfb-1688]

If the 2022 g15 doesn’t release, I’m just gonna buy the 2022 m16.

[@michaelfarmer3440]

I agreed with you on the price point for the g14. I do love razer laptops as in my opinion they are one of the best high-quality laptops around.

[@prarabdhjain7678]

Your review sucks, the Alienware x14 is way better than those two. 🤣

[@saunupe1911]

my g14 was delivered on Tuesday. So far my only gripe is lack of HDMI 2.1, 16GB of RAM instead of 32GB, and the Moonlight chassis instead of Eclipse Grey. Obviously I knew about all of this before purchasing though. Performance wise it's a beast. Screen is very nice and I love the 16:10 ratio which makes it feel bigger than what it is.

[@heshamattieh9617]

Since you know all downsides of G14 compared to Bld14, more specially the lack of HDMI 2.1, you will never connect it to 8k tv in the future, but you still sacrificed and bought g14, what's the secret that you've insisted to buy g14 (aside of money)? only because 16:10 ? I need to know because I'm in the same situation super hesitant and dunno what to buy.

[@aaron1983]

G14 for the win. Plus AMD chips are more power effiicient.

[@lukas_FPV_X]

Just got a blade 14 from 2021 with 3070 for just 1200€.

[@kyleboggs1966]

Blade is too expensive. I have the G14 and got it for under 1100

[@staticvoidmain]

x14 no bueno? wow, what a very non-biased statement you got there. /s
