The Razer Blade 14 is a more portable option, better suited for those who prioritize a compact and lightweight laptop, making it easier for travel or commuting, while still providing strong performance for gaming and general use. On the other hand, the Razer Blade 15 offers a larger screen and often comes with more advanced specs which could be beneficial for intensive tasks such as 3D rendering, machine learning, and gaming at higher settings. The Blade 15 may also provide better cooling due to its larger chassis. However, it won't be as easy to carry around as the Blade 14 and may also have a shorter battery life due to its more powerful components. The price is also typically higher for the Blade 15 compared to the Blade 14, so if budget is a concern, this could be a determining factor. Choose the 14 for portability and value or the 15 for enhanced performance and a larger display, keeping in mind the potential impact on battery life and portability. Give Feedback

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Razer Blade 14 to be very good for general use, while the Razer Blade 15 is good.
The Razer Blade 14 is better for general use because it has a more efficient CPU, leading to longer battery life and greater portability due to its lighter weight and smaller screen, making it easy to carry around. While the Razer Blade 15 has a larger screen which may be preferable for a more immersive experience and slightly better heat management, its heavier weight and shorter battery life make it less portable and convenient for all-day use.

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."

"The 2022 Blade 15 offers roughly 15 to 25 percent faster graphics performance and 20 percent faster CPU performance over last year's Core i7-11800H and RTX 3080 model. Thankfully, the system doesn't need to run noticeably louder or warmer to achieve faster results, but both power consumption and battery life take a hit. The higher consumption in particular appears to be a trend amongst many 12th gen Core laptops including the Schenker Uniwill Technology GM7AG8P or MSI Vector GP66 when compared to their previous generation counterparts. We're also glad to not see below-average CPU performance which was the case for the 10th gen Core i7-10875H model."
