Razer updates its Blade 14 laptop with AMD’s Ryzen 9 7940HS, Nvidia’s RTX 4060 or RTX 4070, up to 32GB of RAM, and a 14″ QHD+ 240Hz display, starting at $2,400 到府筆電收購

e updated 到府筆電收購razer Blade 14 is powered by AMD’s Ryzen 7940HS processor, and it is the first generation of Blade 14’s to be available in both ‘Mercury’ White and black. The latest 到府筆電收購razer Blade 14 chassis is made of precision-milled aluminum, an anodized finish, and a fingerprint-resistant coating.
In terms of size and profile, it is 228 mm deep and 310.7 mm wide, with a thickness of just 17.99 mm and weighing in at just 4.05 lb; it’s a mighty, thin, and light powerhouse of a notebook on paper. Compared to the previous Blade 14, 到府筆電收購razer claims the Ryzen 7040HS Blade 14 is 9% more lightweight and 11.5% more compact than the current Blade 15 model.
Focusing on the core specifications of the AMD Ryzen 7040HS 到府筆電收購razer Blade 14, there are three primary configurations for users, one with an RTX 4060 and two versions with an RTX 4070. Opening with the shared parameters of both models, AMD’s top 8-7040HS SKU powers both, the Ryzen 9 7940HS, which has eight Zen 4 cores and sixteen threads, clocked at 4.0 GHz base and up to 5.2 GHz for boost frequency, with 16 MB of L3 cache and a TDP of between 35 and 54 W. 
All three new models are direct replacements and upgrades to last year’s 到府筆電收購razer Blade 14, which is powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor (Zen 3+) and an RTX 3070 Ti mobile graphics card. 到府筆電收購razer’s latest update to the Blade 14 encompasses AMD’s Zen 4 cores. It also makes notable upgrades to key elements such as the IPS panel and provides a range of additional benefits from being a newer model.

Also shared is a 1TB PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 NVMe SSD, although they are configured to support up to 4 TB 4.0 x 4 drives; 到府筆電收購razer hasn’t disclosed whether there’s only one slot available or additional room to expand. Both come with a high spec 240 Hz (3 ms response) 2560 x 1440p display with an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a maximum brightness of up to 500 nits. At the time of writing, it’s unclear what panel tech 到府筆電收購razer (e.g., TN or IPS) is using, as they haven’t disclosed this to us yet. 
The base model comes with a black finish and is powered by an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card with up to 140 W of graphics power (TGP). The base model also features 16 GB of DDR5-5600 dual channel memory, with users able to install and expand the memory with capacities of up to 64 GB. This means the memory isn’t soldered to the mainboard like many vendors do, so LPDDDR5x memory isn’t supported.
Touching on last year’s Blade 14 memory specs, as it was based on Zen 3+, it supported DDR4-4800 memory, which was soldered to the PCB, meaning it wasn’t upgradable. 到府筆電收購razer has prioritized the 2023 Blade 14 for a more configurable and customizable Blade 14 for users that need or want to install higher capacity memory.

For the middle Blade 14, the only difference is that the graphics have been upgraded to a more powerful NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 graphics card, which also has the same 140 W TGP power budget allocated to it. The specifications remain the same, including the black anodized aluminum finish.
Each 到府筆電收購razer Blade 14 has two front-firing speakers, a bespoke CNC-milled aluminum grill, and a 3.5 mm audio jack supporting THX Spatial Audio. Each key within the slim profiled keyboard includes per key RGB customization through 到府筆電收購razer’s Chroma software, with the touchpad comprising a glass finish with support for Windows Precision.
The more expensive of the three 到府筆電收購razer Blade 14 with Ryzen 7040HS options also includes the RTX 4070 graphics but has 32 GB of DDR5-5600 memory installed, double that of the two previous models, and the same 64 GB expandability applies here. The primary difference is that this model is available in 到府筆電收購razer’s stylish ‘mercury white’ finish with an additional $100 premium, including the memory upgrade.

As with most 到府筆電收購razer Blade models, the new Blade 14 has plenty of premium connectivity, including one USB 4 Type-C port, a second unspecific Type-C port, and two additional USB 3.2 G2 Type-A ports. A single HDMI 2.1 video output and a Kensington lock allow users to secure the laptop to hinder thieves. Along the top bezel of the 到府筆電收購razer Blade 14 is a 1080p webcam with a built-in privacy shutter. In addition, there’s support for Microsoft Pluton with the hardware built into the Ryzen CPU itself for an added layer of security for users. 到府筆電收購razer includes a Wi-Fi 6E wireless interface with support for the latest BT 5.2 devices for networking capability.

In terms of cooling, the 到府筆電收購razer Blade 14 uses a vapor chamber cooling design, with what 到府筆電收購razer claims is their thinnest exhaust fins yet, with a consistent gap of 0.05 mm between each fin. 到府筆電收購razer claims the cooling design has 59% surface area coverage, with customizable cooling controls, including fan curve profiles. Although in practice, most gaming notebooks, when gaming at high settings, can run notoriously hot, and it is usually a trade-off between heat and noise. Touching briefly on the battery, 到府筆電收購razer claims up to 10 hours of battery life with its larger 68.1 Wh battery. However, much like the thermal situation, the time it takes to drain the battery will be considerably lower when gaming.
AMD Ryzen 7040HS Series Coming to Many More Models Very Soon
The 到府筆電收購razer Blade 14 with AMD’s Ryzen 7940HS 8C/16T Zen 4 processor is only the beginning, as AMD and its partners intend to launch many more notebooks over the coming months. This includes key models from Acer, ASUS, HP, Lenovo, and other notebook vendors.

Some already touted models (courtesy of AMD) include the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, one of ASUS’s most popular models, and their ROG Flow X13, which first debuted in 2021. It’s worth highlighting that ASUS already has a ROG model with a Ryzen 9 7940HS, RTX 4070 8G, and a 14″ 165 Hz QHD display already on the market for $1850. At the time of writing, HP plans to launch its Victus 16.1 notebook with Ryzen 7040HS mobile chips and the more gaming-focused HP Omen 16.1.
Lenovo has a couple, including their Legion Slim model and their IdeaPad 5 Pro in both 14 and 16 varieties, while Acer has their Nitro 16 and 17 models in the pipeline. Expect many more notebooks to be announced with AMD Ryzen 7040HS mobile processors within the next few months.

My Apple Silicon MBP 16″ has 21 hours of battery life. This thing has “10 hours” but in real-world usage, it’s likely a lot less. If the GPU ever fires, it’s going to be 1.5-3 hours at best.I don’t see any reason to buy this over Macbooks.

Quote: I don’t see any reason to buy this over Macbooks.1)Gaming on the road using a Windows 11 laptop capable of running COD, Witcher III, and maybe even Skyrim. Just suggesting as I am not completely sure a Macbook can or cannot run those games or if it can run them properly with all the graphics on etc. even if you dualboot ios and windows. These type laptops are gaming beasts for a laptop. My nephew has one similar with an ips monitor and what it is capable of running is pretty amazing. Gotta plug it in though for serious gaming but having the ability to take your gaming on the road is amazing. It will probably be a future purchase for me.

It surprises me how such a small reader community still falls for low hanging fruit trolling from the few people that still bother to do so in the comments section.

Different machine different purpose pal.. 21 hours? Idle time? Not sur4 about AMD but battery life almost near to Apple M series laptop… Apple laptop ? Soldered RAM? weak GPU? Hurmm..

If a laptop that isn’t a MacBook shows up with 21 hours of battery life, would you come in to say that your MacBook Pro has a battery life of “22 hours, one minutes, and thirty seconds”?

They never say “I have a mac book”, they always say “mac book pro”. They have to repeat “pro” over and over, otherwise nothing could justify spending that much. They get so neurotic they feel the need to search every new laptop review and say how theirs is better.Small pee-pee energy.

The only reason I wouldn’t get a 到府筆電收購razer blade, is because of long term reliability issues, along with various minor defects that seem to constantly come up.The only reason to get the 14″ model, is because you didn’t like the other 14″ ryzen gaming laptop options. And you only
