Razer’s first 14in laptop is also its first to ship with an AMD processor. A dedicated Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card provides added gaming grunt, while the laptop comes with 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD. It’s slim and lightweight too, which is impressive considering it has the performance to handle any modern game.
Like the rest of Razer’s notebooks, the Blade 14 comes wrapped in CNC-milled aluminum. The 14in display ships with a Full HD resolution and 144Hz refresh rate. You can opt for higher specs, but the default setup still delivers lashings of detail.
Yes, you’ll get more oomph from larger laptops with beefier cores. The underside can also run hot, while a 90-minute gaming battery life is average, rather than impressive.

It’s not only laptops where Razer is creating savings this Black Friday. There’s a further 50% off a number of headsets, controllers and keyboards, including the Viper Ultimate lightweight gaming mouse ($80) and the Razer Audio Mixer for $216. Find a full list of Razer savings in our rundown here.
