Customer Ratings & Reviews

I am going to forego any benchmarks or stress test results; this review will focus on how this laptop has been for me in real life the last 2 months I have owned it. First of all, the most impressive and outstanding part of this machine is the build quality, it is pretty much the best of the best in the gaming laptop world. It is completely solid and well constructed. The lid closes softly and even. There's no unsightly gaps or molding lines. It is certainly a nice looking computer. The screen is nice too, its quite bright and mine had very little backlight bleed. It's actually readable in a brightly lit room or even outside. There is very little smearing or motion blur, and the 240Hz is smooth. The keyboard and touchpad are fine, I've seen some reviewers speak poorly of the keyboard in particular, but it seems adequate to me, and is a definite improvement over my previous Blade 15 2018. The touchpad is nice and large... but maybe almost too large. Every once in a while I will get mis-input. I think it's just a little too wide. Luckily windows touchpad drivers are improved from what they used to be. For daily use, there is barely any fan noise. I seriously didn't believe reviewers about this because I was tired of hearing people say this, and then I get a laptop and it actually blasts the fan all the time. But, seriously, when I am not playing a game, I rarely ever hear the fans. Even with the system plugged in, 90% I can't hear them. This is amazing to me because I hate fan noise... I hate coil whine too, which, luckily, my Blade 14 doesn't have any of. As far as gaming is concerned... really I have played Baldurs Gate 3 the most on this so far, and it runs at about 90fps at the max settings. Usually it's the GPU struggling to keep up, the CPU has a lot of headroom. Port selection on this machine is decent. I was able to use a Thunderbolt 3 dock with the USB4 ports fine. But the dock's 65w power output would sometimes cut out - this laptop needs a bit more for USB-PD to work consistently. My Mac 87w adapter and an anker 100w have worked much better for that. Battery life has been good for me, like 6 or so real hours per charge, which is what you should expect from this kind of machine at the best. The speakers are surprisingly loud but don't sound that great. As for issues, I've had a few blue screens coming out of modern standby but that seems to be a microsoft issue. All in all I really like this machine. I will be keeping it.

I bought this laptop for school. I like having the versatility of having a gaming laptop while also using it for homework. The battery lasts me roughly 8-9 hours doing schoolwork and 6-7 hours while coding in VS Code, multiple tabs open, and WSL running in the background. I also like having the ability to upgrade the RAM and Storage if my workflow changes in the future, however the 32GB of ram and 1TB storage is great. Overall, an amazing little machine.

The laptop has been great for gaming so far. Haven't had any issues. Feels premium and is very portable for travel.

Works as expected , this machine delivers the luxury gaming experience you pay for.

Does everything you need it to do and then some! Over 100 fps on starfield

Amazing Laptop!! Extremely Fast and Excellent Build Quality! 5 Stars!!

Pretty good laptop, until it starts having fan and technical problems frequently.

The build quality is top. The 14" display is really nice and the laptop size is convinent.

This laptop is wonderful! Runs any of the games but can get very hot unless you manual adjust the fans to run at max. The Blade 14 likes to keep the fans low to try and stat as silent as possible. The screen is incredible and gets plenty bight! Colors pop and the only thing that might beat this screen is some of the newer mini LED screens. USB 4 out of the box is incredible and plays nicely with any of my thunderbolt devices which is a nice change for AMD processors. Overall, I would give this laptop 5 stars but I cannot because of the price. The Blade 14 has a real price premium and you can other 4070 laptops for much cheaper. You have to really want to pay the premium for the nicer screen, better build quality and overall premium feel. I was willing to bite the bullet, but I would not recommend it to others unless you know what you are getting into beforehand. Note: Razer support is awful, just something to keep in mind when you are purchasing a Razer laptop.
