Razer Blade 14 2023: Pre-orders open for new AMD Ryzen 9 7940HS gaming laptop with upgradeable RAM and storage

[Redaktion]

The Blade 14 2023 is Razer's most powerful 14-inch laptop yet, with promised gains of around 20% in modern triple-A titles. The Blade 14 2023 comes packed with AMD's most powerful Ryzen 7040HS APU, plus a choice between 140 W variants of the GeForce RTX 4060 and GeForce RTX 4070. Razer has included various other quality-of-life changes from last year's model too, such as a bigger battery, a larger trackpad and various upgrade options.

Well s***. Where's the screen options... And wasn't 4070 pretty much capped and didnt perform higher than ~110w?

These 14" laptops look very good, the problem is that I still see them as expensive as Intel when AMD has always been cheaper.
In this laptop I see TOO MUCH POWER and PERFECT FOR A GAMER, it is the ideal laptop with little weight, 14" and the maximum combined power of RDNA 3 + RTX 4070 Dedicated Graphics
But and for the rest of mortals that RDNA 3 is enough for us with the M780 we don't need more, thousands of ultrabooks should appear here with only the APU and prices without exceeding €1,000 and it would be a bestseller like the Acer swift edge 16 (sfe16-43) that surprised me because it has Wiiffi 7 + RDNA 3 + DDR5 + USB 4.0 + HDMI 2.1 + ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

Have been waiting for a laptop like this to replace my 2021 Blade 14. 

16:10 screen, better CPU, upgradeable RAM+SSD, improved thermals, improved battery life (not that it matters much to me but it's there lol) and brighter 500 nit 240Hz QHD screen in the Mercury Edition color is like a dream come true.   

One small pity though.  No single website mentioned anything about the speaker system, and seeing how Razer only mentioned a stereo speaker setup in their spec sheet, I highly doubt that's much improved.
