Razer Blade 14 2021 Three Weeks Later Review! Should You Buy It?
Ғылым және технология
After three weeks using this machine, I can say I'm thoroughly impressed with how it functions both in every-day situations and as a gaming machine! It's not very often I see a laptop that checks so many boxes for me. Can't wait to travel with mine! Sorry I'm not great at doing performance numbers, build quality and user experience are more up my alley. :) If you have questions, drop 'em below!

amazing quality, you would think this kind of quality would yield 100k+ subs. you definitely deserve more, easiest sub ive ever given
I really like the review, and info. I am so happy you dont have super loud background music like most reviewers.
This is one of the best Blade 14 reviews. Kudos man!
Great video dude! I prefer videos about personal experience in addition to the specs and performance - these are the videos that truly help with decision making. Waiting for your video about the accessories, I'm having trouble finding the right sleeve, skin and protectors etc. Thanks and keep up the good work!
What an underrated KZreadr. Easiest subscribe of my life. This laptop sounds amazing especially with the powerful battery charging and battery life
Dude I loved the review, keep it up, you deserve way more subs than you have!
I have to agree with some of these other comments. Great content and production quality. Best of luck to you on growing this channel-you do great work.
watching this on my razer blade 14 , so happy with it! thanks for the review, cheers bud!
Insane intro bro, such dedication on minute details makes the difference. If this is a one-man job, let's take our hats off.\!

I was subbed to Dave2D before he hit 1000 and I'm sure you'll grow just like he did. One thing, try to look at the camera while you're talking or if you're looking away look at the object you're talking about. It seems like you're reading a script but I don't think that's the reason because of your natural tone. I mean you can do it, just not so often, but that's just my opinion. Love your cars too :)

Phenomenal vid brother! Keeping bring this banging content my dude! 🔥 I liked and subscribed as well to support you man. In the market to get an all around laptop for my oldest daughter. Something she can use for productivity as well as for gaming. Was peeping the Asus Duo line, but she told me that she would prefer something compact that she could take around everywhere as well. Sooo I think this is the winner. Checking out the alienware m15 r6 real quick before I pull the trigger, but I think this is the one. Thank you again for taking the time to make this vid. Best of luck to you my man!

Excellent and very descriptive video! With that said, im looking to purchase one myself and cant help but be a little weary of the things im reading about Razers batteries bloating over time and their customer service :/ granted everyone takes care of their belongings differently, but if I do all I can to keep this laptop in great condition and still have to worry about a cheap battery, that worries me A LOT!
the fact that the man has green backlighting, green wallpaper, green PC light, AND a green bastion tshirt to match with razer's green is just ✨chef's kiss✨

@@AngryPaisan Of course! For my Blade 14, initially, it did run very hot and the fans were pretty loud. The palm rests felt pretty toasty as well and I did reach temperatures around the high 90’s to 101 C max which had me worried. However, I did watch videos on how to make laptops run cooler. I did stuff such as buying a cooling pad for better airflow, setting my maximum processor state to 99%, and (if running a heavy application) cranking the fans in Razer Synapse to max rpm. Also, if you search up “how to disable AMD turbo boost,” you can reduce your temperatures even more to 70-80 C max on heavy applications. The palm rests did feel less warm, but still were toasty. As for the performance aspect, I didn’t notice much of a performance dip. But I’d rather take longevity with less power over more power with a shorter lifespan. If you also need info on idle temperatures and fan speed, it’s okay with temperatures ranging 45-53 C. The fans were virtually silent, but if running a light program like KZread, Spotify, or Discord, it runs, but you’ll barely notice it on. As the palm rest, it’s reasonably cool 👍🏽

Great video!! Nice to see KZread’s algorithms working right! Did you happen to use it at all with the CPU turbo boost disabled? I’m wondering how big an impact it’ll have on thermals. I just got a Legion 5 Pro but this Blade 14 looks like what the Stealth 13 should’ve been to begin with. Real tempting…

I'll have to try disabling turbo, the ryzen 9 actually doesnt consume much wattage boosting up, so I haven't tried no turbo yet. I've tried a thermal throttle limit of 85c and for some reason, theres really no performance loss I can tell. Just lower temps and noise. Will keep testing. Yes, this PC is the dream stealth!

@BioGear
3 жыл бұрын
Personally I think so. I've never played a game that actually needed 32gb, and just guessing, I doubt we will actually need it within 3 years for just gaming and moderate use.
is there please any way to game or edit video while powered by 65w usb c bank ? I know it can't fully supplement it, I'm just curious if it can slow battery draining so you can game or edit video for like 3 or 4 hours , while battery would only last 2 hours. My experience when editing videos on the go is empty battery in 2 hours even with 80wh notebook haha, while macbook m1 draws only 12w full load
If you make a non upgradable ram in a laptop in 2021 it needs to be 32GB in such a powerful device. For me personally to be the ultimate portable machine I would prefer Intel for TB4 (I need for audio production), smaller battery charger and better battery port/cable and of course a 1080p webcam
What about the thermals? Other reviews mentioned the CPU gets alarmingly hot. Does it throttle? Are you concerned about battery bloat issues? Planning to buy this but I'm concerned about longevity. By the way, I just subscribed! 😀😀
@BioGear
3 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the sub!! The CPU does get hot in demanding games. Seems like the thermal system is good at keeping clock speeds up, despite getting well into the 90s. I'm not very concerned because the limit on this chip is 105c, but I MUCH prefer 80s so I adjust settings to keep it there. Battery bloat I've never experienced in any of my past blades. I use an external fan to keep chassis Temps down, and I don't deplete my batteries, which stresses them. I do buy extended warranties just in case too. Hope that helps!
Keep the great work! Amazing content compared to many more with thousands of subscribers
