The Most 2024 Laptop - Razer Blade 14 Review

The Razer Blade 14 is the perfect example of a 2024 laptop. Less design changes, more "AI", a Ryzen 8000 series CPU, competitors like the Zephyrus G14 catching up performance updates that go nowhere. But, since they were so far ahead, this still might mean the Razer Blade 14 is one of the best 14" gaming laptops on the planet....or....

[@thegrind3r527]

I have a 2019 Razer Blade 15 Advanced in Mercury White (i7 9750H, RTX 2070M), and have been happy with it for the most part. It consistently seems to require the power adapter and runs very hot on CPU, but the keyboard, screen and overall performance have held up well over time. It got me through college, and is still one of my favorite keyboards to type on.

[@janekk916]

i have the exact same model except in black and my temps dont go over 78C, and after replacing the battery it holds around 7-8 hours with normal use

[@thegrind3r527]

@@janekk916 Unfortunately I’ve tried both replacing the battery and repasting both chips… still in the mid to high 90s on cpu and 80ish on gpu, still passively drains battery. Good to hear of another still out there doing well!

[@fenrir911]

Same exact model, and mine is running fine as well.. I have a heavy undervolt and turbo boost disabled and it still hits 80+ while gaming.... But I cant deny the quality, no screen bleed, amazing feel. I have a G14 as well and use that for gaming primarily instead, use my blade as productivity laptop.

[@digz6666]

I have exact same Razer Blade Advanced and his on his 4th battery, I replaced the battery every 1.5 years due to bloat. I replaced thermal paste every time I replace the battery. It runs hot mid 80C for the CPU and low 80C for the GPU. And lastly speaker plastic grill is peeled off, its not metal as latest models which is shame. But it gets the job done I play dota 2 mostly. I'm never buying another razer laptop due to battery bloat and other issues because I think they never listen their customers and they never sell parts, all they ask is send back for repairs which is hard for me because there's no Razer service center in my country, so I have to ship to another country for repairs and which costs a lot on top of their high repair cost.

[@accarl]

@@digz6666 I have the same model as well, since 2019 I only replace once for the batteries. But the batteries I changed is from aliexpress. Its on 3rd year now without issues. Recently also added EGPU with 4070 and I'm happy with the performance.

I own a Razer Blade 18, that I won, and I have had issues with it freezing often. When it doesn't freeze, it is a solid computer that I have opted to use for programing (on a learning level) and similar. I found that it looks amazing with video and the sound is great. But it bothers me a great deal with how much the surface smudges up. The Blade 18 is very much a mobile desktop, and while it is good for education and video anything demanding will require a constant power source. My Blade 18 has the RTX 4060 in it which I noticed they don't do anymore, and they also don't offer it with less than 32gb of memory and mine came with 16GB...

[@MikeMajeski]

I’ve always wanted to own a Razer laptop so I ended up going with last year’s 14 when Razer had it on a deep sale this past month. Feeling better about that decision after seeing this.

[@marksadler4457]

I tried 2 versions of Razor and I love most of it but not the audio and NOT the keyboard. I also do not like the lack of several IO options. But, the lack of keeping up with 2024 versions of Alienware, Asus, and Dell .... yuck.

[@sniepo_gaming9953]

I still have the 1st modern blade the on with the 3060. And I love it, the battery the keyboard still hold up great. I could not tell a difference from day one to now. Build quality is amazing and the reliability is there.

[@noelwade]

I bought a Blade 14 when they first came out, and returned it due to the keyboard. I liked almost everything else about (OK, other than price) - but I could not get used to the keyboard's shallow travel and feel. Bummer to see it still has the same shortcomings several years later!

[@TheLiamThacker]

How is plugging the charging cable in the wrong way round, a complaint or an issue? Also, the keyboards on these machines are horrendous.

What do you think of the Nvidia Orin Nano for an Engineered Android/Windows 8 inch Tablet that can sit with the AyaNeo and/or a 13 inch Windows/Android tablet with the 16 GB/ 2048 core GPU with an Oled that can sit with Samsung’s 14 inch tablet? All they have to do is keep it simple as possible, keep costs as logical as possible, that way you can have products they can sit and play with the big boys, and use Android or Windows like Qualcomm’s Snapdragon on Windows? Nvidia’s Orin (in both configurations) can easily compete with the likes of AMD’s, Qualcomm’s, or Intel’s latest

[@blaster915]

Hmm, I am still looking at it as I am looking for a power upgrade from a Surface Laptop studio which is bulky and a pain to travel with. The g14looks nice but I want something sturdier. Plus I am a fan of the grey edition that Razor dropped for the Razer Blade 14 which doesn't scream gaming and I can use in a more professional setting. I'm mulling it over as I need something that is light, can be sturdy in a backpack and can run 3D rendering. I can't go larger than a 14 as I can't then fit it in my bag. I am not to worried about the keyboard because I have a station at my office where I plug my laptop in and have a nice bluetooth keyboard and mouse and monitor. But when I need to travel for work frequently, I would like something nice.

It was not covered that the 2024 Blade 14 has Wi-Fi 7 and BT 5.4 now. When will we see the new CAMM2 form factor for laptop memory?

[@andyH_England]

I heard LPCAMM2 will be mainly for data centres to start with. I expect they will work down to consumers in a few years. But in the interim, we will continue moving more to soldered RAM in ultrabooks, as data says soldered RAM reliability is 99%+. The benefits of soldering easily outweigh the benefits of modular for most of the ultrabook user base. Gaming laptops will hopefully keep to modular although thin and light ones not so much.

I own a blade15 3070, i7-10875. Have been running it into the ground for 2.5 years now. Great build quality. But the device is very susceptible to heat damage. As far as the keyboard goes, I prefer low profile linear silent keys for gaming. I have a Mx keys I use for school/work. So this keyboard is serviceable.

[@TechieTard]

Heat damage if you go with an Intel chip. The AMDs are rock solid as they run less hot.

[@NoInterleaving]

Its a shame you did not test the Razer Blade 16 2024 because its got OLED Display, they should have added OLED to 14 inch version also. Because I do play a lot of old games none of them support 16:10. I do love my Blade at 16:9 because I can watch anything without black bars and old games in 16:9 works perfect for me. I uesd to have 1920at1080 (16:10) and I always haded these black bars.

blade 16 review in the works

[@NickGuelker]

I'm using the 2019 Blade 13 with the 1650. I terms of build quality and durability, i could not be happier. The laptop still turns heads and feels premium in every way except performance. When the time comes, i will buy a Blade 14 without question. I have loved my 13 and used it daily since I bought it. Buying any other brand is no longer an option for me. I am so impressed by how well the black finish holds up. Why does the extra cost mean nothing to me? because too this day, I still feel no need to buy another laptop, 5 freaking years later. I play games on my desktop, and use my laptop for travel and work. I only require my laptop to be capable of playing games if needed, not my gaming machine. Build quality and durability are the top priority for me. Razer has been outstanding in this regard.

[@GoatofGods]

Heres my take yeah? OLED will always be better. Battery on the Blade is trash in real life application. The keyboard looks nice and imo feels okay, The chassis is just like the MBP and feels great and the trackpad feels good too. The main problem for me with the blades are the speakers, battery life, and Windows in general. Apple with the ARM chip and seamless memory management with OS X just makes the Macbook way better in terms to work management, smooth work, no stutters no lag. I constantly get crashes when I have many things open. On windows in general you might actually need 100gb of memory. Not to mention the sleep mode battery, for those who want to close the shell and leave it to sleep for even 1 day let alone a couple the laptop would die. This feature is so great that you can instantly pick back up ur work with the same desktops u left it at, as opposed to windows. In general these issues cover all windows laptops. Dont get me wrong Im not a hater of windows I even have a PC that i use for gaming, but thats about it. Mac is way better for everyday use and longevity sorry fanboys.

That's all I need. For actually working I have an actually ergonomic desktop with powerful CPU, GPU, a couple monitors, and Anydesk, that's a key part of the setup. Been eyeing 32" monitors recently, will probably upgrade sometime soon.

I think you miss the point. if they are gaming focus then just hook it to a monitor. The 14inch is screaming portable and gaming casual.

This is meant as an adaptable device. Gaming at home (you won't game on battery anyways) and hook it up to a monitor or a TV. On the other hand you get on-the-go portability.

What if I never play any games and I just browse the web. Is 14inch still small? I do not think so, perfectly happy with this size. Dont forget what suits you is also good for others. Can not imagine to travel for 2 years like I do right now and carry 18inch laptop with me. No, thanks
