The AMD “Zen 3+” Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU includes eight cores, 16 threads, up to 4.9GHz max boosts, and a 20MB cache. In addition to the CPU, the Razer Blade 14 is paired with a Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 Ti GPU among its graphics configurations. It also includes 16GB 4800MHz RAM and a 1TB SSD.

The spec bumps paired with the increasing prices of components have led to overall increases in the price of Razer’s gaming laptops. The Razer Blade series is already known to be quite expensive.

Design-wise, the Razer Blade 14 features a per-key RGB setup on its keyboard powered by Razer Chroma. Meanwhile, its glass touchpad is styled with Microsoft precision touch. At 0.66 inches (16.8 millimeters), Razer is calling it the smallest 14-inch gaming laptop.

The laptop includes a new bottom-facing vapor chamber cooling fan design, which Razer says provides better airflow and less noise.

Ports on the laptop include two USB-C, two USB-A, one HDMI 2.1, and one 3.5mm. It also supports Wi-Fi 6E, 7.1 surround sound powered by THX spatial audio, TPM 2.0 Security, Windows 11 Home for software, and up to 11 hours of battery life.

The Razer Blade 14 comes with a two-year limited battery warranty, however, customers can add a RazerCare protection plan to their laptop, which adds up to three additional years of repair and replacement eligibility to the device in the event of an accident.

This is how Asus defeats the Razer Blade 14
The 2024 Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 sitting on a table.

I've always liked the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. It's one of the best gaming laptops you can buy due to its portability and power, and especially its price. It has always played second fiddle to the Razer Blade 14, however, for those with the cash to burn for Razer's high-end gaming laptop. That's changing at CES 2024.

The 2024 Zephyrus G14 is a radical redesign that takes the fight directly to Razer. As someone who drives a Razer Blade 14 daily, I might be switching to the Zephyrus G14. A new aluminum chassis provides a premium finish while keeping the weight and thickness low, and Asus now has one of the best screens you can buy on a laptop.

The Razer Blade is losing its edge
The Razer Blade 14 and 18 on a table.

For years, a more cutting-edge gaming laptop than the Razer Blade has not existed. But at CES 2024, other companies have started pulling ahead in some key areas.

It's not that Razer didn't bring updates this year -- don't get me wrong. The Razer Blade 16 now has what Razer calls the first 16-inch 240Hz OLED gaming laptop, and while that is technically true, it's not as impressive as it sounds. In fact, Razer had a 15-inch 240Hz OLED laptop just last year, which is nearly identical. It comes with Intel's Raptor Lake Refresh HX chip and still can be configured up to an RTX 4090 for graphics.

Should you buy the RTX 4080 now or wait for the RTX 4080 Super?

Nvidia's RTX 4080 didn't have a warm reception when it first launched, but a series of slow price drops have made it a more attractive option among the best graphics cards. However, stock is quickly drying up, with most retailers offering only a few models at list price. Is now finally the time to pull the trigger?

Stock is likely disappearing due to Nvidia's Super refresh. The RTX 4080 Super is now official, and Nvidia has confirmed it will replace the RTX 4080 in its current lineup. With the new card arriving shortly, it's looking like you'll have to be patient if you want the best bang for your buck.
