The newly announced Razer Blade 14 isn't very weak, but over time it's becoming more and more like a knife. Compared to past iterations, the shells are now as high as 10p, stacked on top of each other, meaning that the new blades may be as thin as their wallet after purchase. Besides being the thinnest blade 14 blade ever, it's also the most expensive, and it's version for NVIDIA's new GeForce RTX 5060 laptop GPU for $2,300. Razer always tries to offer quality at a high price, but with effective tariffs, the new Blade 14 is driving consumer expectations for gaming laptops.
The basic price of the Blade 14 is $100 more than what you pay for with the RTX 4060 2024 Blade 14. If you upgrade your new blade with the RTX 5070, Razer tells us that you can spend $2,700 for “not a large brick” and $2,700 for you. The Razer is always an attractive buy because it is usually very manufactured, but even the Frisbee-Light framework won't make today's tariff product prices stand out.
Razer's new Ultra-Thin Design features AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 with up to 64GB of 8,000MHz LPDDR5X RAM. This is the first time that Razer has paired a Copilot+ CPU made with a lightweight laptop with an Nvidia GPU in a pure gaming console, which means it is compatible with Windows 11 AI features (you should probably remember to turn it off during setup). The laptop comes with a range of ports, including HDMI and MicroSD card slots. As usual, Razer promotes its iron-resistant aluminum with anodized black surface that avoids bumps or blemishes.
We have no doubt that all of these mergers will provide enough juice to showcase the 3K, 120Hz OLED display of the blade 14. We do want to know what CPU performance it might offer compared to similar-sized laptops like the Asus Tuf Gaming A14 and its top-notch AMD AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. The older models of ASUS are also hundreds of dollars less than the latest models of Razer. Razer guarantees you will get 2 to 3 hours when gaming on a 72WHR battery. It doesn't sound like a lot, but technically it's better than what you've already obtained from the Razer Blade 16 this year. We haven't found a gaming laptop with battery life that will extend the time.
The Blade 14 drives the RTX 5070's power to a maximum of 115W TGP, which may give you enough juice to go up to 2,880 x 1,800 resolution for most modern games. The RTX 5060 laptop GPU is still so new that we don't know how good it is compared to NVIDIA's mid-range graphics options. Regardless of which GPU you choose, the machine still supports a six-speaker system with upward-firing speakers. The sound quality may be higher than what you use on such a small system, especially if spatial audio is supported.
From 2024 to this year, there are many relatively light gaming laptops. Razer seems to know that it needs to be strengthened with the 2025 version of the Blade 14. It is 0.62 inches thick and weighs 3.59 pounds, which is 11% thinner than the 2024 version and is lighter. From this year's Blade 16, it adopts the same heat shield design. The laptop also eats for diet, in order to wish to use less devices to make its backpack a little more suitable. We found that it also tends to get quite hot when playing intensive games, so we want a smaller battery, while a demanding GPU is not a problem.
One thing that has not yet brought from 16 is the improved keyboard. This is a razor device, so it can certainly be packaged on Gills with player lights (including RGB per capita). These keys still have only 1mm of key travel compared to the redesigned 16-inch deeper, more influential 1.5mm deeper, more influential 1.5mm. There are no color options except black and white, just like we might want Razer to bring back the 2019 Razer Blade Stealth “coral” pink. There is nothing wrong with the thin system, but maybe the pink blade will help eliminate the sting of the price increase.
