Unlike their larger 16- and 18-inch Razer Blade gaming laptops, the Razer Blade 14 packs a punch in a smaller form factor, making it easier to take with you on the go. Precision-milled from a single aluminum block to achieve the optimal strength-to-weight ratio, the compact chassis is complete with an anodized, fingerprint-resistant finish, to protect against the hazards of travelling. With two USB4 Type-Cs and two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, this laptop supports a full suite of peripherals, including Thunderbolt™ docks.
“The Razer Blade 14 is the perfect machine for gamers and creators looking for top of the line performance in a compact and highly mobile package. With this announcement, our full 2023 laptop portfolio now offers Blades perfectly suited for every use case – from peak portability to full desktop replacement, all with incredible performance and signature Razer Blade styling.”
Travis Furst, Head of Laptop Division at Razer
As Razer mentions, at the heart of the laptop is the new AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS processor, the world’s fastest ultrathin processor, boosting up to 5.2GHz and featuring AMD Ryzen AI, the world’s first dedicated artificial intelligence engine on a Windows x86 processor. AMD Ryzen AI hardware is integrated directly into the processor to handle AI workloads as quickly and efficiently as possible while freeing up the CPU and GPU for traditional, non-AI tasks. Ryzen AI gives gamers and creators access to AI-powered technology, delivering accelerated multitasking, increased productivity, advanced collaboration, and improved efficiency. Continuing the trend of processor-integrated security, Blade 14 will feature Microsoft Pluton™ to better protect users’ data whether they are at home, in the office, or if the device is lost or stolen.
The company continues by saying that the new Blade 14 is just as powerful as it is mobile, and features up to the all-new GeForce RTX 4070 laptop GPU capable of achieving up to 140 W TGP to deliver more graphics power per cubic inch than any other 14-inch gaming laptop. Beyond raw power, the Blade 14’s RTX 40 Series Laptop GPU can leverage AI-driven NVIDIA DLSS 3 frame generation to multiply performance even further.
