AMD and RTX 30 at the rendezvous

In this promising machine we find a processor AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX, a graphics card NVIDIA GeForce RTX 30 laptop (3060, 3070 or 3080, as required) as well as écran Quad HD maximum (2560×1440) with a refresh rate of up to 165 Hz. 16 Go de RAM DDR4-3200 MHz are on the program, as well as a storage space 1 TB on an NVMe SSD, expandable up to 2TB.

The small size of the case could have posed a cooling challenge, but Razer has managed to incorporate a vapor chamber to replace the bulkier heat pipe systems manufacturers offer in their gaming machines. Blade 14 Vapor Chamber uses vaporized liquid

which is responsible for the heat dissipation of the components. To complete this system, two ultra-low profile fans with 88 blades, 0.1 mm thick, are responsible for expelling hot air and replacing it with fresh air.

Razer Chroma and THX in the spotlight

The Razer Blade 14 is a gaming laptop, but the manufacturer knows that gamers’ expectations never stop. Of course, a Razer machine is inconceivable without the lighting system Chroma, integrated here in the keyboard. Dynamic sound THX spatial audio is also offered via the on-board speakers, as well as a 720p HD webcam with IR sensor. Something to please teleworkers between game sessions.

There are also two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C ports with power for charging when required, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, an HDMI 2.1 port and a 3.5 mm socket. A pretty complete link for such a small size.
