Display brightness (average): 362.9 cd/m2 (max 367 nits) · HDR brightness: 440 nits · Fan noise, gaming/stress: 54.6 dB(A) · Fan noise, Balanced mode: 50.3 dB(A) · Fan noise, Silent mode: 42 dB(A) · Battery Wi-Fi runtime at 150 nits: 8h 54min · Battery video runtime: 10h 56min · Battery runtime under max load: 1h 11min · Full recharge time: 111 minutes · microSD card reader JPG copy: 202 MB/s · Cinebench 2024 CPU Multi Core: 1072 Points · Cinebench R23 Multi Core: 19449 Points · PWM flicker frequency: 960 Hz · Bottom panel temperature (gaming): 48-49 C center · Weight: 1.615 kg (3.56 pounds)

The chassis is still extremely sophisticated with perfect build quality.

The new OLED screen offers great image quality with fast response times and accurate colors, but the brightness (especially in HDR mode) could be higher.

Once you start to stress the GPU, however, the fans will spin up quickly and we measured 54.6 dB(A) during gaming and our stress test.

The brightness of the OLED panel is only average at 360 nits, but the contrast ratio is still extremely high thanks to the low black value.

The build quality is excellent — the chassis is made of solid aluminum, the hinge is smooth and easy to open with one hand, and it keeps the display solidly in place without any jostling during gaming sessions.

Overall, the Razer Blade 14 delivered high gaming performance in a compact package with great cooling and quiet fans.

Yes, it's expensive at $2,699. That's the big downside — although it was on sale for $2,299 on Razer's online store while I was finishing this review.

For the price you're paying, there are laptops at a similar or even lower price that offer more for your money.
