Seems like a great deal on the new Razer 14" laptop. Widely regarded as one of the best thin and light gaming laptops you can currently buy.

For further information and a review (RTX 3080 version) - https://youtu.be/e5AQNDOP1nA

100 watt RTX 3070.

Currently $3997.00 at Officeworks, shipping September 2nd, so price match may be available getting it down to ~$2650.00 but your milage may vary.

      I think a 100w RTX 3070 and Ryzen 9 is more than you can expect in a 14" laptop almost as thin as a MacBook Air (1.61cm vs 1.68cm)…

      • The Value on 28/08/2021 - 09:58

        I’m just stating hard specs people care about that OP missed. Manufacturers don’t make it easy to find.

          No problem, I'll add it in.

          I guess I thought it was worthwhile adding some context for the 100w RTX 3070, as I don't think buyers should be deterred by that.

  • Tohnio on 28/08/2021 - 10:09

    Its actually a good price for this, one of the downsides is soldered RAM.

    So just peeps know what they are sacrificing for portability.

    Does anyone know the brightness of the screen? Better to go with this or wait for the Legion 5 Pro to be back in stock?

    • Tohnio on 28/08/2021 - 10:17

      from memory it wasn't super high, i believe it doesn't go over 350 nits

      EDIT: the Blade 14 provided 332 nits of brightness, 111% of the sRGB color gamut and a delta-E color accuracy of 0.24 (excerpt).

    Wow what a good price

  • shabaka on 28/08/2021 - 10:20

    will you be able to tell the difference between 1080p and qhd on a 14"?

    also I would say 14" is too small for anything, let alone gaming. 15.6 is good, 17.3 even gooder, no?

    what would the intended audience be for this? light and portable alright, but you'd need the power brick as well to unleash the full potential?

    • enigma48 on 28/08/2021 - 10:28

      Yep you’ll likely need the brick. Most thin/light gaming laptops (eg Asus Zephyrus 14”) won’t run at full power on battery. It’ll run without the charger but GPU performance will take a big hit, and battery life will be more like an hour.

    • Oxenfree123 on 28/08/2021 - 10:28
      +13

      For gaming, I would say no, I struggle to tell the difference between 1080p and QHD on a 24" screen. For productivity, absolutely. On slow moving or static images, you'll be able to see the difference.

      I don't know there is a target audience for this, as much as it is an engineering marvel and Razer is showing what they can do and what is possible. No other manufacturer has created anything close to this. The closest is the Zephyrus G14 from Asus, but that peaks out at a 65w RTX 3060 last time I checked.

      In a way it's similar to what Apple has done with the M1 MacBook. Does anyone really need 20 hours on a laptop? Probably not, but as a proof of concept it says a lot about their ability to innovate and design something unique.

    • BaNaNaSk1N on 28/08/2021 - 10:50
      +4

      Personally I can tell the difference, everything does look sharper on QHD. After using it for some time now 14” would be the smallest you would want to use for gaming. If you plan to be gaming a lot without a separate monitor then better to go with a 15” or bigger.

      • shabaka on 28/08/2021 - 11:35

        yeah all my gaming laptops have been 17.3 or 15.6, when I get 17.3 I end up wishing it was a bit smaller, and when I get 15.6 I end up wishing it was a bit bigger

        so I go between the two sizes and never even consider 14 as an option for gaming

    • AlgoTrading on 28/08/2021 - 10:59
      +3

      I've just upgraded from a X1 Carbon Gen 6 with 14" QHD screen to Gen 9 with UHD+ screen. I can tell the difference. Fonts look as sharp as my iphone

      I also have a X1 Yoga work laptop with 13.3" FHD and the difference is day and night.

  • O15 on 28/08/2021 - 10:20

    I saw a video awhile ago that razer had developed a much smaller charger for these laptops. Anyone know if that's included for these models? Gaming laptop chargers can be such a killer for portability

      People who buy this aren’t in for the pure specs.

      This is for people who are looking for good performance on a 14’ thin and light chasis. Even with the charger this is 2.5kg, l5p is 2.5 by itself.

      Thats not to mention it have razer chroma with per key rgb and full CNC aluminium chasis which is more premium than most other gaming laptops.

      Yeah nah the two aren’t the same category so not comparable.

    • cille745 on 28/08/2021 - 14:01

      Not exactly comparable when one comes with the 5800H and the other the 5900HX

      • Sarazar on 29/08/2021 - 10:37

    Great price. I have the ROG g14 with rtx3060 and that gets pretty warm at 80 watts and this will be at 100 watts jammed into a similar size chassis.

    Biggest concern will be heat on this device as previous Razer models all suffer overheating and throttling so your never be able to take advantage of the GPU running at full speed.

    There is very good reason why all the slim portable gaming laptops all run the rtx series GPUs at 65watts with 80 watts boost. It is pretty much the limit right now due to heat output and stopping the device from overheating and throttling.

    • xdigger on 28/08/2021 - 14:49

      What is your take on the ROG G14? I'm considering both the Blade 14 and G14 for a gaming laptop which doubles as a portable work laptop. Any issues with the ROG G14 so far?

      • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2021 - 18:56
        +1

        Ive had it for 5 months now and no issues. Have not run into any overheating issues. but it's also winter.

        I would get this blade 14 at this price it's a much better buy. Double the nvme storage and 3070 vs 3060.

        The ROG g14 is similar price and pretty much never goes on sale.

        • xdigger on 29/08/2021 - 10:09

    Great deal at that price. I have a Razer Blade 14 RTX 3080 and have been really happy with it (retail is pretty damn expensive but I bought through salary packaging). The only thing to be aware of which isn’t that obvious is that you won’t be able to use Gsync because the RTX works as a co processor to the APU on the Ryzen 9. It supports Freesync instead.

    • Oxenfree123 on 28/08/2021 - 10:43

      Nice pickup regarding G-Sync

    • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2021 - 10:45

      It could be like the ROG g14 where display port supports gsync because it's connected directly to the nvidia and HDMI supports freesync as it's connected to the amd onboard

    • Schvampken on 28/08/2021 - 15:27

      Have you noticed much throttling on the blade? I yo-yo back and forth between getting a smaller or larger gaming laptop, and one of my big concerns of a laptop like this would be the heat building up during extended use.

      • BaNaNaSk1N on 28/08/2021 - 22:15

        I haven't really noticed but I haven't really been playing the latest games, I'm playing Battlefield 1 atm and plays nicely on 2k with ultra settings. The marketing says it uses vapor chamber cooling which is how they can pack in so much power into this little thing. But after reading about thermal throttling with gaming laptops in general I decided to buy the Razer Laptop Stand, which makes sure the air intakes get a lot more air in them.

  • bedders on 28/08/2021 - 10:43

  • scraggers on 28/08/2021 - 11:13

    This or wait for the M1X? Very different laptops in terms of OS I know, I want something portable for minor gaming but has a long battery life.

    Thoughts:
    Razer pros:
    Gaming functionality

    Macbook pros:
    Design (razer looks a bit..)
    Fans and noise are better
    Better battery and charger

    Performance is the same between them?

    Keen to hear any thoughts.

    • Dubious speculation on 28/08/2021 - 11:17

      If you're strictly gaming then the Razer will no questions be a better choice.

      If you're doing some casual gaming and then video editing as your main use for example I would encourage waiting to see what the M1X brings.

      • [Deactivated] on 28/08/2021 - 12:11

        The MacBook gaming experience is only going to be as good as gaming on iPhone. Pretty much the same GPU.

        Your not going to ever be able to play AAA titles.

        Alternatively you buy the MacBook and a Xbox or ps5.

        Can't really compare the two just on its own as they were designed with totally different market segments.

      I switch between Razer Blade 14 RTX 3080 (personal) and Macbook Pro 13 M1 (work).

      I prefer Mac OSX for productivity but I tried playing Krunker on it ( https://krunker.io ) and it was a pretty crap experience. Outside of gaming though it’s a pretty impressive machine.

      Saying that theres just a lot more you can do with the Razer, i.e. gaming, VR, WSL.

    the 16:10 120Hz 350nit display being the main motivation. Also configured with RTX3050, R7 5800H, 16GB RAM, 75WH battery.. all for around 1.8k with the 1yr extra (2yr total) warrantee.

    unfortunately they've quoted 8weeks lead time for this which is an absolute deal breaker!

    Just fyi for potential buyers that the Razer Blades are notorious for battery bulging/bloating. It's not necessarily a defect but it can be contributed by high heat and usage. If you look around on reddit, etc, many have had bloating after 1-2 years of use. Good news is that the battery is user-replaceable — Razer support is hit or miss afaik.

    https://www.reddit.com/r/razer/comments/p4ov9p/new_blade_14_…

    they may have soldered a slower speed ram. We wont know for certain until it actually arrives into buyers hands.

    it is very unfortunate that it has affected Razer too.

    • Mttogo96 on 28/08/2021 - 22:44

      Shame to see this is a thing right now..

      I have the 3060 blade 14, it was bought right after release and has the Micron ram, not the slower samsung ram. I'm pretty disappointed Razer is getting away with this on soldered ram, all machines with soldered ram should have the better spec since there is no option and also paying a big premium, sad to see it…

      • Tohnio on 29/08/2021 - 09:49

        totes agreed, the RRP of the product is a premium price, and to have soldered ram is abit of a big downer, not being able to upgrade to 32gb through original retail bigger bummer, shipping SLOWER RAM…. thats makes the whole issue worse.

    I was considering this laptop against Asus ROG flow x13 with RTX 3080 eGPU or Asus Zephyrus G14 . I don't game at all but I am trying to find the best not too heavy windows laptop for video editing, productivity and graphic design work. The laptop will mainly be connected to a monitor except for 1 or 2 days a week when I have field work. I already have spectre 360 and surface book 3 and I hate both of them. My budget is up to $3500 for a laptop that can improve the speed of what I do. Any recommendation? I can't go for desktop or Macbook due to the many software packages I have to install and keep working on indoor and outside.

    • NirvanaChan on 29/08/2021 - 10:13

      I'm in a similar boat in terms of budget but need it for entertainment (movies, browsing) + work (data science). The absolute deal breaker with this laptop for my personal use case is the RAM. This laptop with 32GB even at 3k or slightly above would have been perfect.

      Right now, the laptops on my radar are the new XPS 15 9510, Razer Blade 15 Advanced, and maybe the Surface Laptop 4.

      • xdigger on 29/08/2021 - 10:18

        In quite a similar situation as well, need portability (<2kg laptop only) + 3050-level graphics + 32GB RAM for work purposes.

        Have you consider the Asus ROG G14 or IdeaPad Slim 5 Pro Gen 6?

        • NirvanaChan on 29/08/2021 - 10:23

          I'd like something that can easily fit into a professional setting so the G14 wasn't on my radar. And no webcam is a deal breaker as well, not just work-wise but also* for the odd Zoom call with friends and family.

          Haven't looked into IdeaPad Slim yet. Not sure how the build quality will hold up.

    Damn, I bought one from Wireless 1 about a month and a half ago for about $1000 more, who knew Bing Lee had awesome deals on high end laptops?
    I would have expected them to mostly stock year-old models for high price points like JB.

    Anyway - great laptop! Can recommend.
    In terms of lesser spoken about specs, also uses the absolute latest Intel AX210 wireless chip which includes WIFI 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 support, great for future proofing (and for no 'Killer' branded crap that only causes problems in systems), and a pretty speedy SSD. Also has a Windows Hello camera which is very handy (although like most laptops these days, camera quality for video calls is pretty abysmal).
    Like most Razer laptops, touchpad and build quality is also among the best as far as Windows options go.
