The 2023 version is nearly perfect

Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2023

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.

Nice laptop, but seller has quality control issues

Reviewed in the United States on February 12, 2024

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.

I'm really enjoying this laptop!

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2024

CPU: Ryzen 9 7940HSGraphics Description: RTX 4070Style: Classic BlackVerified Purchase

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 performance to portability is amazing

I’ve been super happy with my blade since I got it. It’s quiet when you want it to be, and very fast, runs all games when you want that. Amazing versatility, and the build is the closest thing to a MacBook on the Wintel side.

Wish that razer extended warranty covered 3rd party retailer sales

I got the Asurion insurance to cover this, which is pretty good ... but I almost wish I had gotten it off of Razer's website for the Razer Care warranty or whatever.
So far no issues with the laptop itself. Decent battery life. Kinda wish AMD had better optimization for the CPU and chipset. Still feels like Intel is more rock solid, but then again it may just be this AMD generation and I don't have experience with a bunch of newer Intel chips.

I’ve done a lot of research, returning a lot of laptops (including the 2022 blade with rtx 3060), but I think I’ve finally found the one. The blade 14, 2023, with rtx 4060! At first, I found the battery life to be terrible! But after I uninstalled geforce experience (bloatperience), my battery life doubled! I love this laptop, and I use it everyday as a student!

This PC works better than I expected it to.

CPU: Ryzen 9 7940HSGraphics Description: RTX 4070Style: MercuryVerified Purchase

I was nervous about buying a Razer laptop because Razer support is terrible. They don't warranty anything that is not bought directly from their online store. So buying from Amazon was a risk. Fortunately, this little PC works perfectly and is hella fast. I got the Mercury version because it has more RAM. So glad I did.

Great gaming laptop for the mobile gamer

I travel a lot for work and like to play games during my downtime, so this laptop fits me very well. It's very powerful that can play the latest games yet light enough to be portable.

DO NOT BUY - Defective hardware and support is bad.

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2023

CPU: Ryzen 9 7940HSGraphics Description: RTX 4070Style: Classic Black

Mine developed a "buzzing" sound within a few months and support had me jump through lots of hoops to try and troubleshoot. After following their instructions which included re-installing windows it now not only buzzes but does not see all the RAM anymore.

I sent it back through an RMA and it came back a few weeks later with literally nothing fixed. Still buzzes and still does not see all the RAM. They closed out the old ticket and had me start all over again. Have spent hours with this.

This has been an ongoing issue for almost 2 months now.

I am going to write this off as a very expensive lesson and just go get a Lenovo Legion.

Razer Incident Reference # 230706-001836 <== if anyone at Razer is interested in this.
