Why you should buy the Razer Blade 14 (2023 vs 2024)
The new 2024 Razer Blade 14 ups the ante of its predecessor. Let's start with the gorgeous 14-inch 16:10 display that operates at a 2560 by 1600 resolution. You get edge-to-edge quality and clarity, Calman verified, with an under 3 ms response time, 240Hz refresh rate, and 100% DCI-P3 color gamut. It looks great, and when you're playing the latest games, you'll love the color, clarity, and sharpness. Speaking of games, it's powered by the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor with 8 cores, 16 threads, and a 5.2GHz maximum clock speed. Plus, the 32GB of DDR5 RAM is fantastic for something of this size, but also expandable up to 96GB if you want to future-proof the system. Optimized vapor chamber cooling keeps everything running optimally, even under heavy loads, thanks to a dual-fan exhaust.

With all that power under the hood, the Razer Blade 14 is still ultra-portable. It's 0.71 inches thin and weighs just 4.05 pounds. The anodized aluminum case with a fingerprint-resistant finish looks and feels great.

Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 vs. AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT: a close call

Two RTX 4070 graphics cards sitting side by side.

Nvidia's new release, the RTX 4070, shakes things up in the GPU market. After a long spell of only releasing overpriced graphics cards, Nvidia seems to have altered its pricing strategy for the RTX 4070. While it's hard to call it cheap, it's certainly affordable, and it offers performance that makes it a good midrange option.

However, Nvidia's latest addition to the ranking of the best graphics cards has an unexpected rival in the previous generation of GPUs. AMD's RX 6950 XT is similarly priced, but can it keep up with the RTX 4070? Check out our benchmarks and find out how these two cards stack up against each other.
