If portability and battery life are key for you, the Razer Blade 14 stands out with its lighter build and longer battery usage on typical tasks. However, if budget is a concern and you need powerful performance for 3D, machine learning tasks, or gaming, the Eluktronics RP-15 with its AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia graphics could be better suited for you, albeit with a tradeoff in heft and a shorter battery life. Both laptops have similar screen size and resolution, but the Razer has a more premium build quality, better speakers, and more modern port interfaces which might make it a more versatile choice for a wider range of activities.

Eber Anthony | October 2020
"To conclude, I’m genuinely impressed with Eluktronics and what they have been able to deliver with the RP-15. You see this is all about maximizing performance, cooling, and giving users the most flexible I/O, and then wrapping it into a chassis that doesn’t feel super cheap. Let’s also not forget the price point, I think they have really nailed it in that department."

Allen Ngo | May 2022
"After making a huge splash with the original 2021 model, it's expected that the 2022 refresh would be more of a minor update to an already impressive machine. It adds a higher resolution webcam (720p to 1080p), faster CPU (Ryzen 9 5900HX to Ryzen 9 6900HX), faster GPU (RTX 3070/3080 to 3070/3080 Ti), faster RAM (DDR4-3200 to DDR5-4800), faster M.2 SSD support (PCIe3 x4 to PCIe4 x4), newer WLAN module (Killer AX1690i to Qualcomm WCN685x), and a MUX switch for the new integrated Radeon 680M GPU. It's indubitably an upgrade especially in terms of single-thread processor performance."
