The spec bumps paired with the increasing prices of components have led to overall increases in the price of Razer’s gaming laptops. The Razer Blade series is already known to be quite expensive.

The laptop display comes in 14-inch QHD 165Hz and 14-inch FHD 144z options. It is also outfitted with AMD FreeSync Premium and a 1080p Full HD camera with a Windows Hello IR webcam.

Design-wise, the Razer Blade 14 features a per-key RGB setup on its keyboard powered by Razer Chroma. Meanwhile, its glass touchpad is styled with Microsoft precision touch. At 0.66 inches (16.8 millimeters), Razer is calling it the smallest 14-inch gaming laptop.

The laptop includes a new bottom-facing vapor chamber cooling fan design, which Razer says provides better airflow and less noise.

Ports on the laptop include two USB-C, two USB-A, one HDMI 2.1, and one 3.5mm. It also supports Wi-Fi 6E, 7.1 surround sound powered by THX spatial audio, TPM 2.0 Security, Windows 11 Home for software, and up to 11 hours of battery life.

The Razer Blade 14 comes with a two-year limited battery warranty, however, customers can add a RazerCare protection plan to their laptop, which adds up to three additional years of repair and replacement eligibility to the device in the event of an accident.

Best graphics cards you can actually buy right now

If you've taken even a cursory glance at the graphics card market lately, you've probably put your head your hands in despair. It's rough out there right now, with Nvidia's new RTX 50-series cards impossible to find and outrageously overpriced on second hand markets, and it's last-generation RTX 40-series all but sold out and no-longer in production. AMD's best alternatives are likewise absent while we await the impending launch of the RX 9070 and 9070 XT -- and we have everything crossed they'll be available in good quantities.

But if your PC just died or you don't want to be an early adopter of a new GPU that could melt your power connectors, what are you supposed to do? While second-hand cards are always an option, it's a tricky one to recommend since you never know what those cards were used for, or even if you're actually buying a box trying to lure in scalper bots.

Razer’s new Blade 18 serves a massive RTX 5000 performance leap

Razer is kicking off the race for the fastest gaming laptops of 2025 with its new Blade 18 machine. The company says it is the most powerful Blade laptop it has ever made, and that it’s also the slimmest machine to offer Intel’s beefy HX-series processor.

The laptop will be available in three graphics configurations, which include the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and the top-of-the-line RTX 5090 GPU. Storage options start at 1TB and go all the way up to 4TB, while RAM options on the table are 32GB and 64GB.

3 GPUs you should buy instead of the RTX 5080
Logo on the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080.

The RTX 5080 arrived with a bit of a thud. As you can read in my RTX 5080 review, the card probably won't be making among the best graphics cards any time soon. It falls short of Nvidia's last-gen flagship, and in the vast majority of games, it doesn't even crack a 20% lead over the RTX 4080 Super.

It's not the only GPU in town, though. Although AMD is sitting out the flagship battle this generation, there are still some excellent last-gen options to keep in mind. Here are three alternatives to the RTX 5080 and why you should consider picking them up over Nvidia's latest.
