Three years ago, Razer dumped the Blade 14; the Razer Blade 15 from 2018 (test) promised more performance in the only slightly larger chassis and the advantages of a 15.6 inch display . Now the Razer Blade 14 is back in a very special way: For the first time, Razer relies on CPUs from AMD.
The new Razer Blade 14 with AMD Ryzen
Razer justifies the resurrection of the Razer Blade 14 on the one hand with the possibility of being able to offer such a gaming notebook today in the footprint of a 13-inch notebook , on the other hand, the performance that can be implemented in the chassis, which is 30 percent smaller than that of 15-inch notebooks, is cited.

AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX with a maximum of 65 watts
In the new Blade 14, this is always provided by the mobile Ryzen 9 5900HX (test) on the CPU side. Depending on the profile selected in Razer Synapse, the 8-core Zen-3 processor can consume up to 65 watts for a short time and up to 54 watts continuously; in the “balanced” profile, which is active ex works, it is 42 or 35 watts. The manufacturer has recently revealed this at the introduction. For years, however, Razer did not provide this information even when asked. The decision to actually do it now is a welcome step.
Three GeForce RTX 3000 laptop GPUs with a maximum of 100 watts
The power loss of the built-in GPUs, customers have the choice between GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPU (8 GB), RTX 3070 laptop GPU (8 GB) and RTX 3060 laptop GPU (6 GB), Razer not only gives – as prescribed by Nvidia – with the respective maximum, but per profile. As a result, the mobile dGPU can be operated with 80 + 10 watts (TGP + Dynamic Boost 2.0) or 90 + 10 watts and thus with a maximum of 100 watts, regardless of the selected class.
To date, there is a maximum of one GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU in 14-inch notebooks on the market, which in the Acer Triton 300 SE only operates with 75 watts and only with a 4-core CPU of the Tiger Lake-H35 type (Test) is combined. The new Razer Blade will therefore really be the fastest gaming notebook of its kind, as advertised by Razer.
Buyers of the Razer Blade 14 should also be aware that there are only minor differences in performance between the GeForce RTX 3060 and GeForce RTX 3080 with the same TGP in games, and in Full HD there are usually no differences at all.

Both support AMD FreeSync and, according to Razer, are “on IPS level”. Customers only have a limited choice: FHD is available with the GeForce RTX 3060 laptop GPU, QHD with GeForce RTX 3070 laptop GPU or GeForce RTX 3080 laptop GPU.
Other external displays can be connected to the notebook via HDMI 2.1 and two DisplayPort 1.4 via alternate mode via the two USB Type-C ports. In addition to the two USB Type C USB 3.2 Gen 2 (10 Gbit/s) including 100 watt PowerDelivery, there are also two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type A sockets and a 3.5 mm jack connection as well as Razer's proprietary charging connection in the chassis again.
Always with 32 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD
Regardless of the configuration, Razer always delivers the Blade 14 (2021) with soldered 32 GB DDR4-3200 and a 1 TB NVMe SSD in M.2 format. The battery is always 61.6 watt hours and should make 12 hours of runtime possible – no notebook from the manufacturer currently lasts longer, promises Razer. WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, a webcam with Windows Hello support and the illuminated keyboard (RGB) are also standard.
