This is very close to a perfect body for a gaming laptop. The Blade is gorgeous and well built. There is zero flex anywhere. It runs current games on high graphics settings at good-to-acceptable framerates. The trackpad is more responsive than the majorit

The editors didn't like
The mostly awesome trackpad is almost completely submarined by its idiotic buttons. Battery life is hugely improved from your standard gaming rig
But you're getting nowhere near the six hours claimed by Razer. The screen is sub-optimal
On color performa
But you'll never need 3K resolution
Expensive
Shorter battery life than last year's model. That's never good
The 1080p model only comes in a single configuration. What if I want more storage space than 256GB?

Not user upgradeable
Limited port selection
A lackluster low-resolution
Nontouch display doesn't fit the high-end design. The baseline 128GB SSD for $1
800 isn't sufficient for a gaming PC
You'd better pony up for the 256GB or 512GB model
Runs very hot. High-resolution display may actually hamper performance. Shorter battery life than previous model reduces portability
Graphics performance comes up short
Runs hot and loud
Not inexpensive
Runs hot while gaming
Limited viewing angles
Lacks SD card slot
The battery life is worse than last year's model's. Adding more SSD storage can turn this into a pricey laptop
Runs incredibly hot
Below-average battery life
Gets very hot. Discrepancy between graphics and display capability
Price tag suggests beefier components.
Dimmer screen is a letdown
As is the price hike. What
No page up/page down keys? One key's backlight died during testing
Poor battery life
No SD card slot
Some games don't work at full resolution
Sub-par screen
Burning hot while gaming
Touchpad can be finnicky
A bit slow to boot. Pricey. No touchscreen. Still no SD card reader
Middling screen and audio quality
More expensive (and less powerful) than other machines

Abstract: For 2014, Razer's offering up two Blades — this recently-updated 14-inch model, and a 17.3-inch Blade Pro that was released a little earlier in the year. What muddies the waters slightly is that this non-Pro model is actually now better specced than its b...
Three revisions in, the Razer Blade has been honed to a fine edge, merging nearly peerless performance with an unmatched sense of style. Razer's crack team of engineers and designers is clearly on to something with this device, but I can't help but think ...
The Blade 14 is an amazing piece of engineering. Even with its flaws, it is simply one of the best laptops money can buy. Sadly, it takes a lot of money to buy it: JB Hi-Fi sells it for almost $3,500.If you want possibly the best Windows laptop on the mar...

Abstract: There's a lot to like about the Razer Blade, a high-end gaming laptop with a lot of style. Unfortunately, there's one thumping big problem.That problem isn't with the design, or the colour. It's much more fundamental than that....
One of the thinnest gaming PCs you'll ever see; Built beautifully; Fantastic high-resolution 3200x1800 touchscreen; Decent keyboard; Rubber stoppers on the bottom of the laptop are solid and stop the laptop from moving as you work and game;
Expensive; Trackpad is too shallow and feels clunky; Gets very toasty when in use; Screen washes out colour slightly; Battery is a bit hit and miss when you start to game; No SD card slot;
It's hard not to be impressed with what Razer has made in the Blade 14, it really is.Rather than make a big and clunky powerhouse of a computer, Razer — a company known for its high-end gaming accessories — has crafted something truly staggering, with a p...
