Razer have unveiled the new Blade 14, which is also available today
Hardware reveals at E3 are not really a thing anymore, which is a shame, because they are always very welcome, but it seems Razer decided they wanted to use their E3 Showcase to reveal the new Razer Blade 14, which is also out today.
Packed with an AMD CPU, a Nvidia GPU and insanely thin, the new Razer Blade 14 should be a perfect fit for those looking for power, but in a small form factor. This is also the first new 14inch Razer Blade laptop in a few years, so it is nice to see what they are offering.
“When we introduced the Blade 14 in 2013, Razer challenged the industry to think bigger, yet smaller. The original Blade 14 revolutionized the mobile gaming landscape, earned laptop of the decade, and brought us to where we are today,” said Brad Wildes, Senior Vice President & General Manager of Razer’s Systems Business Unit. “The new Blade 14 aims to shake up the industry once again by combining Razer’s decade worth of experience in crafting ultra-compact and high-end gaming machines with the power and efficiency of AMD Ryzen Mobile Processors. We are thrilled to bring the ultimate mobile gaming experience to gamers with the Razer Blade 14.”
The big new addition to the Blade 14, is the inclusion of the AMD CPU, specifically the 8-core AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, with a boosted clock speed of 4.6GHz.
“As gamers demand lighter and more powerful form factors in gaming laptops, we have remained committed to our goal of delivering best-in-class mobile processors for premium OEM designs,” said Saeid Moshkelani, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Client Business Unit, AMD. “We are excited to collaborate with Razer, for the first time ever, by powering the Razer Blade 14 with the best mobile processors we have developed for gaming, the Ryzen 5000 H-Series Mobile Processors.”
Alongside that powerhouse CPU is the Nvidia RTX 30 series, supporting up to a 3070 GPU, meaning true gaming power on the go. Built with NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture, the RTX 30 Series offers improved ray tracing and advanced AI features to create more visually immersive worlds. In addition to the improved graphical performance, the GeForce RTX 30 Series features a suite of Max-Q technologies such as Dynamic Boost, Whisper Mode 2.0 and a resizable BAR that allow the Blade 14 to remain silent but deadly.
The laptop also features something that many other gaming laptops tend to forget about, connectivity, specifically multiple USB-A and USB-C ports, a full size HDMI port and the latest in Wifi and Bluetooth connections. Plus if that wasn’t enough, it also comes with a battery that can deliver 12 hours of use, depending on what you are doing of course.
Sadly, like most Razer laptops, price is a big thing, because while it is available today, the starting price is $3,099, meaning if you want everything, the price will quickly climb.
