Razers value just keeps getting worse each year. Original blade 14 with 3060 was 1799. Now with 4060 it’s 600 dollars more. You can get a 4080 G14 for that money

Would like to see a comparsion with Intel's H45 series 13th Gen CPUs like the i9-13900H and i7-13700H, against which the Zen 4 HS series are pitted. What I have seen in G14 reviews that around 80W or lower, 7940HS beats the 13700H but over that, Intel gets an lead. Another question, does the display support Windows HDR?

I guess it depends on your location. Here in nz we get crazy discounts after a year :)

17K for an 8 core cpu is very, very good. I mean 14 core intels last year were getting 17 to 18K! In big laptops!

@@MashITTech Wow that's nuts for a 14", as the previous one would throttle to 3.9/4.0 with the 6900HX. They must have improved thermals. Let's hope there's no crazy silly low cpu power ceiling when GPU also being used. On a side note, what is it with Razer removing secondary lighting on the EU keyboard? It has legitimately stumped me. Before seeing your videos, I didn't even realise razer made ANY product without full KB lighting. It's like they pulled a "Razer" just to do something stupid for absolutely no reason at all. Like how you only have precise minimum fan control in balanced mode instead of boost LOL. But this one is really, well, the R word.

It's so sad, you've got to buy everything on your own. You do such a great job reviewing these things. They should send them to you for free. By the way, it looks so gorgeous. If you happened to not like it for whatever reason, I would take it. HAHA

haha I wish they would. It does make it tough at times but at least I know the products I review are not cherry picked samples the company have given out! It is an amazing machine so I would have probably bought this one even if I didn't do this job! I have loved my 2021 blade 14 and use it daily and always wished for a brighter screen and more ram

Razer has a 14 day return policy. Theoretically he has 13 days to review it for free.

You could kill someone with that power brick. I feel like they were slacking on this one. With tighter screen bezels this could be a 14.5" as well. Kudos for mentioning the lighting issue for function keys... super annoying and noone talks about it.

so true

Still no secondary function lighting ... noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. Double sided SSD support? Mercury option is interesting. Same PSU as 2021/2022? Lack of 4080/90 is down to Nvidia pricing IMO .. G14 4070/4080 price difference is £800 so at a minimum Razer would be wanting £3700 (probably more in reality) for their 4080 and even the most loyal Razer fans would probably hard pass on that

@@MashITTech almost forgot .. gaming test on USB-C power please!!! the 2021 and 2022 models I had always defalted to silent mode under usb-C instead of making the most of the available 100w (ish) from such a PSU. The G14 (2022 at least) handles this really well. Also .. G14 vs RB14 keyboard - which wins? G14 is outstanding IMO.

The chin still kills me. And GPU apparently caps out at 100W for 4070 so 140 they advertise is meaningless.

@MashITTech

Жыл бұрын

Yeah I was also surprised by the chin, they could have kept the depth the same and shrunk the chin. The 140w is BS and the 4060 and 4070 wouldn’t even benefit from it. My 4060 does often hit 110w though which is better than a lot of other 4060s I have used

@@MashITTech it just does not deliver. Gaming yes it's ok but as a Windows user, I wanted to stay with Windows as this suppose to be my work laptop as I do travel a lot. It barely runs Photoshop not talking about premier pro. Constantly crashing rebooting etc. Storage wise it's empty only necessary software was installed. Unfortunately for me is inevitable to become Mac book user in the end… In my opinion any laptop is better than. Razer. Msi always deliveres performance but not built quality in this case probably half of the money what I paid… I went for 14 inch due to size factor maybe 17inch performs better but 14 would not recommend for anyone.
