The Razer Blade 14 (2023) has an AMD Ryzen processor and Nvidia RTX 4060, making it well-suited for gaming and intensive tasks, plus it offers a slightly higher battery life and portability due to its 14-inch size. In comparison, the Razer Blade 15 contains an Intel processor and the Nvidia RTX 3070 Ti, which also provides strong performance, but with a larger 15.6-inch screen, it's less portable. Both are similarly priced, have 1TB of storage, and 16GB of RAM, with the Blade 15 having a slightly larger battery but shorter battery life in practice. Neither has a touchscreen, but both feature high screen refresh rates and resolutions. If portability and cutting-edge AMD processing are priorities, the Blade 14 is more suitable, while for a larger screen and Intel processing, the Blade 15 is preferable. Give Feedback

The Razer Blade 14 has a better screen than the Razer Blade 15 for general use, gaming and AI, engineering and design, and software development.
The Razer Blade 14 and 15 both have high-resolution displays with excellent brightness and panel types, offering crisp and vibrant visuals for everyday tasks and detailed design work, but their lower refresh rates diminish the gaming and 3D modeling experience where smoother motion is crucial. These models excel in engineering and design due to their wide color gamuts, ensuring accurate color reproduction essential for precision work. However, for gaming and 3D uses, the lower refresh rates lead to less fluid motion, making these laptops less ideal for fast-paced or graphically intensive applications.

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Razer Blade 14 (2023) to be very good for general use, while the Razer Blade 15 is good.
The Razer Blade 14 (2023) offers superior portability with a lighter weight and smaller screen size, making it more convenient for on-the-go use and longer battery life than the Razer Blade 15, which also has a slightly larger screen that could be more enjoyable for media consumption but somewhat less manageable when mobile. Both laptops have the same amount of RAM and storage, quality keyboards and displays, but the Razer Blade 14's more recent CPU and higher screen brightness provide a better general use experience, although both are exceptionally capable machines.

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."
