The Razer Blade 14 will be the go-to gaming laptop for anyone who wants a luxury gaming laptop. It’s powerful enough to play any games out there, while being beautiful enough to show off wherever you go. The thin and light chassis is just a bonus. Though, you will have to pay for the pleasure of using it, and you won’t get as much performance out of the components as you would elsewhere.

From the outside, the Razer Blade 14 looks like every other Razer Blade laptop that we’ve seen in the past few years. It’s got the all-aluminum chassis, the RGB keyboard, the three-headed snake logo, and the subtle black vibe.

Razer is well-known for building brilliant laptops, and that remains true with the Razer Blade 14. It’s slim, light and robust, has powerful graphics options, and a superb AMD processor – alongside two great gaming displays. As with most gaming laptops, you’ll have to deal with heat, middling battery life and some speed compromises, though, and the Blade 14 is undeniably expensive.

This gaming laptop pulls off a minor miracle: fitting true high-end gaming hardware into a shell not much thicker than some ultra-portables. Many would love to own one, although few will be able to afford this semi-portable powerhouse. But if you can, it's an absolute stormer.

The 14-inch frame, in classic Razer Blade style, makes for my ideal gaming laptop form factor. Paired with the Ryzen CPU, and a reasonable GPU, the Blade 14 is a stunningly good, ultra-desirable machine with the power to cope with anything I could throw at it.

The Razer Blade 14 2021 gives you an astonishing quantity of gaming power in such a small laptop, although like most premium gaming laptops, it's at a price that some may find challenging.

The Razer Blade 14 steals the crown as the best gaming laptop you can buy right now.

I’ll come right out and say it – the Razer Blade 14 really blows me away. To have this kind of performance come out of a 14-inch form factor that is under 4 lbs, is pretty awesome by itself. Add in the fact that it doesn’t throttle under load, is built well, has a nice screen and trackpad, and even has decent battery life? Amazing! Of course, all these add up to a hefty price tag, and cramming powerful hardware inside this kind of format does lead to high chassis temperatures and loud fans in sustained demanding noise.

The Razer Blade 14 is a thin, light, surprisingly capable 14-inch gaming laptop. But you’ll need to reach deep for this top-tier system, because even the lowest-end model isn’t that cheap.

The Razer Blade 14 is small and portable, yet stronger at gaming than some RTX 3070-equipped rivals, if you can deal with its keyboard that gets particularly heated in the middle. The Blade 14 stands out further with a sharp, premium 1440p screen but comes at a price.

The Blade 14 is an all-new gaming-laptop design for Razer, bringing the trademark premium build (and AMD CPU power!) to a size and component sweet spot between the Blade Stealth 13 and Blade 15.

This new model is a light laptop that'll satisfy most of your hardware demands. So if you're in love with the idea of a sub-four-pound Blade, and don't mind the compromises involved, then go with the gaming gods.

The Razer Blade 14 is not perfect, but it crams an awful lot of gaming and application power into a small, stylish, high-quality build. If you’re a fan of Razer’s sleek design and want a compact gaming notebook then this is certainly worth buying.
