Razer Blade 14 2021 Early Review - The Portability King is Back!

[@BioGear]

Wanted to mention a couple things before the follow up review: screen brightness tests at 362 nits with spyderX, it just visually appears brighter to my eyes. Temps also had no problem hitting 99c in War zone, but didn't after a restart. May have been a bug, still testing Temps. Thanks for the support everyone!

[@BioGear]

Same for me, razer got a history of dim screens. Glad this one changed, look forward to it!

[@pavlosirosh4910]

i already received my 3070 model, and while watching this review, i got confused when he mentioned the screen brightness. almost made me wonder if i got some kind of bad panel, because there is no way this screen hits 400nits, maybe 350nits max. i also went from using an HDR 400 ultrabook to this, so maybe thats why im disappointed with this screen.

[@Astrogator_Cole]

@@pavlosirosh4910 oh no, I have terrible luck. I hope mine doesn't have that issue.

[@BioGear]

​@@pavlosirosh4910 I just learned how to test brightness with SpyderX and its 362 nit peak brightness. Which is surprising, next to 2 laptops with 500 nit screens, its surprisingly close. Would've guessed 400 all day, still happy with its output though.

[@RandyRich01]

still tryna make up my mind on it. Didnt really like that the 16gb was soldered to the board. Still tryna decide between the intel or the amd one. Were you happy with your purchase ?

[@BioGear]

Just started testing more games, and wow, this CPU can run hot in modern warfare/warzone! 95-100c when you crank up CPU power selector. I'm just a casual gamer so didn't expect COD to get so hot :) Running on Low CPU power seemed to help keep it lower in the 90s. Hope that helps! -Also thank you all for the overwhelming support!!!

[@snaaaafi]

i just bought mine, and cant wait to try it out also. but do you think those laptop stands with fans helps with cooling off the CPU temp?

[@IdanRos]

how much frames did it push in Warzone in the 90s compared to the 100s?

[@BioGear]

I need to download and test more games. It did well loaded up on Monster Hunter at QHD maxing out at around 92c on CPU, but they sure were pushing a lot of MHz.

[@thedog5k]

Around 8 minutes you said KZbin won’t start the fans, but then said loading vids will start them up Was that just a slip of the tounge? What am I able to do without the fans kicking on? I’m a student so I’m just really worried about fan noise in class/library, but wanna be able to game :P Good vids

[@BioGear]

The fans tend to stay off as long as all programs and background apps are off, like epic games and discord. When you stream videos like KZbin and Netflix the fans will kick on but very low idle, keep the computer in balanced mode and you may not even notice most the time. Fan noise annoys me but this laptop handles small tasks decently well!

Is there any major difference between 3060 and 3070 for the 300 dollar difference in gaming Any other recommendation g 14 or anything else

[@BioGear]

In that $300 upgrade, you get the 165hz QHD screen and 3070. Performance is better i'm sure, but likely not by a ton. I bet the 3060 performs fine. My 3070 unit scored 3k points higher in firestrike than the 3060 Asus G14, but ultimately either will do fine for most games. I think build quality is better on the razer, though. Acer Triton 300 SE is also a 14 inch-er.

I have a couple of questions. 1. I'm moving to China, what does the voltage say on the power brick? I need to make sure the laptop won't explode if I plug it in to a different voltage. Most laptops now a days can handle the change in voltage, but I just wanna make sure before I spend a lot of money on this. 2. I do a decent amount of 3D modeling and rendering, while I understand rendering on a laptop is gonna take a lot of extra time and power, do you think it's doable? 3. Do you really notice a drop to 16 gbs of ram? My current laptop has 32 gbs of ram and I like to think I notice and enjoy the 32 gbs of ram, but I can't say if that's just because I know I have 32 gbs of ram, or if it really is making a difference in overall performance.

[@BioGear]

The brick says input: 100V-240V-3.6A 50/60Hz. Output: 19.5V - 11.8A. Unsure what power outlets output in China. 16Gb ram is sufficient for gaming, but rendering 3D models loves more ram. If I was doing 3d modeling I'd prefer 32gb personally

I chose the razer for build quality, I love their CNC aluminum chassis laptops. The Asus does have a larger screen, which I'm a fan of. One thing that bugged me on an asus laptop i had recently, the fans never shut off. Even doing nothing, you'd hear fan noise and draw power. 34C at idle, fans running. Razer's shut off.

Go for 17 then. Keyboard is more spacious and better cooling, since they have more space for other components too. Get advanced one if you cam with the vapourchamber.

Is that just specific phenomenon and do I need to exchange it? Thanks for your advise!

Would you recommend this for someone new to gaming laptops. I have a gaming desktop with a i59400f, MSI 1660 super, 32gb ram,. I have been looking at this since it was announced at e3 as was looking at the base model. I also have been looking at the dell XPS 17 with the 3060 also but I'm not sure if that would be better or not. Haven't ever gamed above 60fps ( cause that is what my monitor which is a hp pavilion V1M69AA#ABA max is 60 with a 7ms response time) so anything further would be a huge upgrade for me. Or is there another gaming laptop you would recommend?

[@BioGear]

I love my XPS 17, but it’s not the best for gaming. The new blade 14 is an incredible all-rounder and games well. The base model will be fine, a 3060 is a good card, and I hear the 144hz screen is decently bright. I’d recommend that or maybe the zephyrus m16 from Best Buy with the 3060. Changing to anything 144hz and higher will change your entire experience, trust me on that, even if you just upgrade your monitor on the desktop!

I like the Razer 14, but I still wish it was intel based. I prefer intel based over AMD becaucse I'm hackintoshing and right now Hackintoshing on Intel is easier. Why have both a Macbook and a Razer when you can just have 1 to serve both. The Hackintosh on Razer 15 is extremely stable. And the trackpad has nothing to do with Razer, once you install hackintosh you'll see the touchpad is fine and is responsive proving that its software based or OS based not hardware.

This is my first Ryzen computer, cant say I like or dislike it more than intel. I got the Mac when I started learning video editing, I could live without it and just have the razer. Never tried hackintosh. The point of the trackpad notes were the texture of the glass, some are too course, some too slippery. Razers is pretty balanced. I hate crappy trackpads!

Great review however cant trust a man who has his task bar on the side.

16:9 pushed me to do it years ago for more vertical screen real-estate, and I just can't go back ;)

this video is a fine example of the importance of using background music ^^ rest is nicely done.

I thought about using music, but hear mixed input about it being distracting. I can never get the volume right though. I'll have to take another crack at it, thanks for the input!

Great review! Just please clean up your zero crossings (fade out your audio) between audio takes. I hear a pop every time you switch takes!

[@BioGear]

I'll do that, still new to recording so audio is my next study material. recommend any vids or places for how to / tips with audio? :)

[@officialvisaural]

@@BioGear There's a lot of resources online - particularly with music production, its sister discipline. You would want to go for audio mixing for video tutorials though.
