Can Razer still compete? - Razer Blade 14

swing it's a blade and AMD has sponsored

this video to have a look at

it there we go as is expected razer's

packaging is very nice and it's even a

bit green now go green with razor soy

ink eco-friendly nature I guess it's

good you

can there we

go for gamers by Gamers oh

wow all right let's have a look here

plug it in turn it on oh and it has a

webcam switch I really like those it's

the rules you include stickers they go

on everyone has to comply business team

not happy right now oh wait I went and

grab my microfiber cloth cuz I got

fingerprints on it but they also include

a microfiber claw this does seem pretty

necessary as an inclusion as well cuz

even though this matte black finish does

look really cool it also is a massive

fingerprint magnet which is a bit too

bad now for a 14-in laptop the iio on

this is actually pretty decent so on the

right hand side we have Thunderbolt 4

wait no no no USB 4 which is basically

the same thing but this is an AMD laptop

USB type a full sizee HDMI 2.1 other

side we have headphone microphone combo

Jack another USB 4 full size type A and

that's where we plug in our power

adapter I know it's fully expected with

Razer laptop but dang it does feel good

like Twisted it here this new razor

blade has has titanium inside of it to

make it extra extra stiff and yep that's

that's a really really stiff laptop I am

not surprised in the slightest Razer has

been making really really high quality

chassis for a long time much longer than

basically every other windows OEM one

thing that I just noticed that I really

like is that even though they do have

this stupid sticker right here that

tells you all of the stuff there's a

little tab so oh all of that's gone love

it there's nothing course and you have

one of those great big stickers right

here and it it just never comes all the

way off do we do it yeah yeah first

thing I can see easily is that this

display is fantastic it's 240 HZ so

gaming on it going to be great and also

it is it's not 1440p it's 1600p so

that's the 16 by10 version of 1440p

which is absolutely perfect for a laptop

like this I love it so much that laptop

makers have moved towards 16x 10

displays that are,

1600p high refresh rate it is incredible

and also incredible is the color

accuracy of this thing in SDR the color

accuracy of this display is

1.3 that is exceptional you expect less

than two for professional color work so

that means that if you want to be doing

video editing or photo editing or stuff

like that on this display you can 100%

trust that the colors that you see are

the the actual colors also great is the

brightness Razer says this can do 500

nits and we measured it at 526 so full

marks there excellent this right here

has mhc2 profile tags bit nerdy tangent

in the past on a Windows laptop you just

have to select a color space and hope

for the best whatever your content is

gets mapped to that so say that your

display like this one right here is able

to cover all of DCI P3 so if you have

SDR content which does doesn't cover as

many colors it's going to get

oversaturated to fit into that dcip P3

color space going back to the mhc2

profile Windows now knows the

capabilities of this display so it's

able to take what the app wants what the

display can do and figure out the most

accurate way to put those together this

is something that Apple has been doing

for a while with their MacBooks but it's

very difficult on a Windows ecosystem

because so many display is every single

display needs its own profile so if

you're making more than like four

laptops it's a lot of them that said

though this right here is one of the

very first ones that comes with that

color mapping so you can trust it you

can trust it quite a bit also awesome

the performance of this thing in here we

have a ryzen

98945 HS which is eight course 16

threads and it has the AI right here AI

you can see it AI right now we can show

off this AI by going in here if you go

to manage camera integrated camera right

here we have background effects heck

yeah so this right here you're only able

to do it within Windows if you have an

npu so that's a neural processing unit

and it does AI stuff for you if you

don't care so much about just blurring

the background or having Auto eye

contact which I I feel really strange

using but anyway it uses AI to do that

but also if you're in Photoshop or

Lightroom the npu is going to be doing

that offloading that processing from

your CPU or your GPU that means you have

better battery life things run smoother

it's overall just good it's too bad that

so many people have

just taken Ai and driven it into the

ground cuz in stuff like this it's

actually pretty nice npu you want it AI

in your doorbell maybe not and here we

also have 32 GB of 5600 megga transfer

per second ram a 1 terb Samsung nvme SSD

WiFi 7 from Qualcomm so that is going to

be the extra fast Wi-Fi so you can have

so many bits traveling over the air at

once and also an RTX 4070 and this is a

very very fast 4070 up to 140 Watts now

you don't get a whole lot above 90 100

Watts on these but at the same time

faster is faster and this one's really

really fast also there's AMD radon and

integrated Graphics it's a 780m you can

use that if you like go on an airplane

and want to play a 2d platformer while

on battery for a couple hours you play

some game you guys want to see some

games yeah we're here full screen

recording and like rocket league is not

a demanding game but at the same time

we're easily getting over 200 FPS and

this is working just great the latency

of the

display it's really really good

unsurprisingly a 240 HZ gaming display

is very very good for gaming no I scored

it oh

wow 10 km per hour goal yeah

12 what else do we want to play cyberp

Punk or valheim 22 GB update do valheim

it

is oh yeah this is running great look be

walking along here bam

180° bam that display is instant we are

only getting 70 FPS but we do have it

maxed out this is one of those displays

where you can actually like see what

you're doing while you're flicking like

flick aside from valheim our Labs did

test this cyberpunk 2077 they were able

to get 110 FPS F1

2023 166 FPS and total Warhammer was 78

which means this thing goes pretty

freaking fast and while we did talk

about the keyboard being nice for gaming

we haven't talked about it as just a

thing to type on

it's not bad which is pretty much a

compliment for Razer it's not perfect so

like if we look right here there is a

fair bit of key deflection so if I push

on the side I can basically get that key

Capa down below the chassis before it

actuates almost the larger problem is

that it's not super consistent so some

of these Keys seem be a little bit

stiffer than the others which can make

it kind of difficult to get used to it

that said if your primary use is gaming

it's really good for that the action is

super fast so if you want to do like

super duper quick like you can do that

sort of a thing below the keyboard

though is our massive touchpad and this

is an area that Razer has just been

absolutely killing it for years and

years massive touchpad tracking's

accurate it's really really nice just

use it's one of the best on the market

good

job it sounds very clear but I suspect

that there's going to be no low end when

the drop hits it sounds really nice and

wide like they do have that staging from

THX which is appreciated here

but it's not bad it's not bad it's not

super loud and there's very little in

the way of of Base but at the same time

it's clear it's not

distorting so good job overall up next

is our webcam it's a 1080p webcam so

good stuff there and almost more

importantly it has a little switch on it

so you can just fully disable it

absolutely love that turn her back on

and it looks pretty decent it's doing

quite a good job of exposing for my face

let's turn around here and see if it

still exposes for my

face oh it's struggling pretty hard but

in Ness it is pointed directly at a

studio light move around here figure it

out figure it out come

on there we go it sorted in it it's

getting the color temperature a little

bit strange like I'm I'm kind of sickly

looking at the moment but if if if if we

figure it out if come on come on come

on there we go I gave it a shake now it

looks good again overall it's quite good

but sometimes it does seem to get

confused at T5 screws later that are all

the same size and we are in an

unsurprisingly massive Vapor chamber

this thing has been very well cooled

getting 140 Watts out of a GPU on a

14-in device is incredibly impressive

and the only real way to do that Vapor

chamber and this one is massive all the

way around here up along there down the

sides we've got our fins right there

that exhaust out the back and two great

big fans I'm almost surprised that there

isn't

thir oh my God holy crap Razer you have

done it I was really not expecting to

see upgradeable memory in here it is

something that is just dying out almost

completely especially on Compact and

Powerful 14-in laptops massive Frost so

good guys also upgradeable we've got our

SSD right there and our Wi-Fi card over

here which is awesome so the stuff that

you expect to be able to replace on a

laptop is actually very replaceable and

very easy on this one right here now

down below we have our 68 wat hour

battery which is just excellent It's not

the most battery that you can get in

this sort of a class but you are kind of

trading off the extra GPU horsepower for

just the space that this battery is able

to take up now Razer claims that you're

able to get over 10 hours of battery

life on this thing although that said in

our Labs testing our endurance test ran

for 6 hours and 55 minutes so 7ish hours

is pretty good just not the 10 that

Razer said one final thing that I missed

before is that this does have Windows

hello facial recognition you can see the

little IR blasters right there which is

just the best way to get into a Windows

laptop you just open it up it sees your

face and boomy boom you are in well not

here cuz I didn't set it up but you get

the picture now the tough question

though do you you actually want one of

these it is a really great laptop I do

really like the Razer Blade 14 but it

starts at

$2200 for the 4060 version this one that

we have been showing off with the 4070

and the 32 GB of RAM is

$2,700 now this is a sponsored video so

we're not going to be making any value

judgments here so you can do that for

yourself overall though this thing is a

fantastically built Windows machine that

is great for Content creation and gaming

and huge thanks to AMD for sponsoring

day see you later
