Oh no doubt. Look how thin it is. Cooling system gotta go some where.
and even then, those GPUs are def 60w parts.
Imagine paying 3 grand for 3060~ish performance.
le sigh
oh well. This is still potentially a step in the right direction. I just hope they sell like hot cakes so ryzen can overtake the main spot in the blade 15 next yearHWI likes this. -

Literally this but instead 3080ti blade 14
This’ll be definitely my next update though, from blade 15 2018. Recently early the year just got Razer book 13.Darkhan likes this. -
Actually I just read the details
they're 100w parts
whaaaaaat
That's insane.

Dave2d has already pre production unit. Yeah agree if they had color options and higher ram it’s easier selling my kidney LoL.

Chances are it's 80W boostable to 100W. There's absolutely NO WAY they can deal with thermals on this size. Why did they opt for an HX model? That's insane. It should've been offered with the HS. This will be throttled out of the box, guaranteed.Papusan and Vistar Shook like this. -

Am I seeing just 16 GB of RAM and based on the shot of the vapor chamber that it appears to be soldered?

Sorry no offense are you new to Razer? It’s already so since 2018 blade 15, first the world first, second look, specs etc then comes later performance on the endVistar Shook likes this. -

If you go back through my post history about 6-8 years ago I was ridiculed on their forums for trying to fix their cooling issues because "razer is the best, you are an idiot for trying to fix their thermals, blah blah" -
No one expect great cooling on this thin category, especially since they use unibody and only one main heat output. It’s known, you can the best LM it but it won’t be huge improvement, after that you’re welcomed to conservative Razer bios top security lock. Older blade was easier to tweak software wise. No one expecting GE67 3080 performance, but pretty sure it will breakfast g14, Acer Triton se300 in this category.

I ordered the 3060 model. Was contemplating if I’d get much out of a 3070 in this form factor with that CPU and thought na, especially as I don’t care for the display upgrade.
I was waiting on a stealth refresh, this is the next best thing. If there was a 32GB option or even 16:10 may have been perfect. But alas perfect laptops don’t exist... I was considering the 11th gen Blade 15 given the 1080p webcam, TB4 and other updates or even the new X series Alienware - but i don’t need that much power and I am hoping this machine will be quieter and cooler but I could be wrong?
Something to tide me over until the 2022/2023 MX Mac’s or ARM Windows alternatives. -

Tempted to go for the 3060 model even before the reviews are out. I have a 9 year old laptop right now... really itching to upgrade. The performance difference between the 3060 and 3080 Blade 15 is +25% gaming FPS for the 3080. Not really worth a £1000 upgrade. Also 1080p is better for a 14 incher. I find 1440p too sharp even on a 27 inch monitor.

Just waiting for reviews to see if a 14’’ chassis this small can handle all this hardware and performance without throttling.
I think the RTX 3070 is the sweet spot and pretty sure the 10% improvement going with a RTX 3080 does not justify the extra $600. That’s just my own opinion and could totally be wrong but everyone has there own wants and needs and won’t begrudge anyone wanting the RTX 3080 model.
This laptop is absolutely stunning and never of thought they would stuff a 3080 in a 14’’ laptop even if it’s the weakest 3080 available.Darkhan likes this. -

First retail unit review with some benchmarks for freaking 3K Euro ultrabook, not so specified but time spy is 10,4K overall, so performance maybe between g15 3070 and 3080 80 watt aka maxq.

I almost...almost pulled the trigger on the new Blade 14 w/ 3060. I resisted the urge and will wait for real user reviews first. Currently own the Asus G14 w/ 3060 and love it. Reasons why I didn't pull the trigger yet:
-Battery: Razer lists it as 61.6WHr. The G14 has 76WHr. I don't expect the Blade to match the G14 in battery life, we'll see. I routinely get 11+ hours doing office and web work.
-dGPU disable: Armoury Crate lets me completely disable the dGPU in the G14 when I don't need it. Awesome feature. Really hope Razer allows the same.
-Silent mode: On the G14 there is a true silent mode where the fans are both off. No idea yet if this will be possible on the Blade.
-Heat: Very interested to see if the lack of LM on the Blade has significant impact.
-GPU throttle: I like that the Blade is using a 100w TGP variant of the 3060. New vBIOS update for the G14 has mine constantly running at 80w when gaming and thermals are very good. I can't see the GPU constantly boosting to 100w in the Blade considering the design. Again, we'll see.
I'll be lurking and awaiting reviews here, this could be my perfect laptop and dethrone the G14. -

Anyone know what type of performance we should expect from a 100W 3070 ?
I currently have a Legion i7-9750H RTX 2070MQ and was wondering how much a improvement we might get. The Lenovo still works great but I want to see a performance increase and not just a lateral move with similar performance in a smaller more portable sized laptop.Darkhan likes this. -

I suspect for gaming loads the 5900HX will have a hard limit , while still very good will most likely be WATT limited in some way and with workloads that are not gaming be unleashed.
Thermals will be make or break point for most interested in this laptop. -

Well this is the top 2070 Max-q with 108750H. CPU wise the Blade 14 would curve stomp it. Gpu. . .Yeah I think it would still out perform it. But in the size of Ultrabook. I think that's the key thing that will impress me. The Blade 14 is not that much bigger than a Blade Stealth.IKAS V likes this. -
Will the screen have a <3ms response time?

If the 3060 model ends up scoring around 7300 in Time Spy I'll be disappointed. My G14 scores 7826 overall / 7667 graphics.

This Razer has 100W TGP on all GPU’s so it should perform significantly better if it can keep thermals under control, also RAZER laptops someway usually outperform laptops with the same exact hardware , that I still can’t figure out how they manage that. -

Well, I decided to bite the bullet and just placed an order for the Blade 14 with RTX 3060. No need for a QHD screen on a 14" laptop, much prefer FHD. I am just a sucker for the 14" Blade, it has always been my ideal laptop.

Yes, I remember you and vistar from the Blade GTX 1060 days, good times modding those bios files. I haven't logged into the Razer Insider forums since then haha. I am for sure going to test bios modding again with this new Blade to see what can be enabled / disabled and also see if I can flash higher wattage vbios for the 3060. With my G14 it is impossible to flash a higher TGP 3060 vbios, no matter the bios file or version of Nvflash.
Fingers crossed I get a good screen with no dead pixels.Joikansai likes this. -
So we’ve here 3 different models pre orderers, can’t wait to see the performance differences and how the cpu and gpu running on such small form factor. -
Some Redditor has been running benchmarks from 3070 variant but still on balance mode, apparently not digging it too much from several posts comments I saw. Gizmodtech…forgot what’s the name that tech laptop YouTuber asked him as well

However for cpu performance there’re some Geekbench 5 uploaded.
https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/cpu/search?utf8=✓&q=Razer+Blade+14
Not the best on 5900HX 7000 to 7700 scores range, beaten by legion 7 and alienware ryzen edition, some asus g14 ryzen 9 score if not worse same or better but as far I know it’s liquid metal, and since it’s already long out, maybe users tweaked performance as well. But I think it beats blade pro 10875H Geekbench if not similar.
For open cl,
https://browser.geekbench.com/v5/compute/search?utf8=✓&q=RTX+3070+Laptop
here also range differently but some can catch 3070 on base blade 15, which’s not bad for the form factor. Lower score might be running ac power scroll it down there’re other scores , I think this’s same person on Razer subreddit, he waited macbook 14 but it didn’t come so he can’t hold the horses and get anything on 14 inch form factorwhen I’m not wrong.
