Dbrand has gotta be the best sponsor ever.

Dbrand literally throwing money at him in the sponsor spot, lol

"Up to" Marketing's way of making specs sound way better than they are without getting in legal trouble. 🙄

Does DBrand have a department dedicated to coming up with new things to mess with Linus?

Wish marketing wouldn't use "military grade". Most military gear blows.

I bought a 6 month old used Blade 14 in 2015 (i7, 16Gb, GTX970M, 4k screen) for about half its retail price. Daily drove it and gamed on it happily for 5 years. It has gone on business trips with me across the world. I just built a custom rig for myself this year and can't complete it due to a lack of GPUs. So my Blade is still pulling its weight. It still looks as good as the model Linus has in the video. Best laptop purchase I ever made.

"This cooling system is pretty cool" nice

Dbrand shows us how advertising should be done. They should be the golden standard

Next Dbrand sponsorship: we hired a pro wrestler to beat the shit out of linus just to assert dominance, no talking points, we just don't like this guy.

What if i'd pay Razer 'UP TO' the price they are asking?

I'm glad that I didn't skip the Dbrand bit. I love it when Linus gets hurt.

Man razer needs to start adding years to their product names

Linus mentioned in WAN show that his Airpods were run over, I guess DBrand found out and sent him some new ones.

Wan show on friday: "Somebody ran over my airpods in the parking lot" Dbrand: Throws airpods at Linus

We NEED a full review of this unit from you guys!

I love how Dbrands advertising strategy has just devolved into bullying Linus

6:55 For me, microsoft already figured it out, by freezing my pc for a couple of seconds while loading that screen

4:32 it was 3 years ago just after Christmas break. I'm on the bus with two of my friends who had received blade stealths for Christmas. One of them opens their laptop and gasps. The screen had spontaneously shattered. Neither of them had the blade stealth (in working condition) by the end of the school year.

Been watching you for years and still love your content. Love the fact you guys can give reviews i trust and a good chuckle. I am sure i'm not alone but when you dissasemble hardware gives me anxiety lol litarally biting my nails. Keep em comming mate!

it’s not that Razer makes bad laptops, but their after sales service really scares me.

DBrand should sponsor all LMG vides moving forward 😂

I really like the interesting dbrand sponsors! I wish more companies could do things like this

I kind of lost hope for Razer laptops after a few generations... I hope this is a turning point

I just want them to release a Blade 14 with a 16:10 screen. Please Razer, everything else is so good.

6:48 this is why MacOS user permission windows doesn't take full control and just opens but doesnt take your focuse away from what your doing.

Would love to purchase one but I've seen far too many complaints about longevity from Razer laptops

"This colling system is pretty cool." Yeah I certainly hope so.

Just finished watching a Linus documentary man ngl this may sound corny as you are just a tech youtuber but u have showed me doing what you love is the most important thing ever

Linus opening up the laptop without turning it off is a norm nowadays

I was looking for a new laptop and this one was on my radar, so it was nice to see this video come out

Darn, do a fulll review of this!

Like Modding, Dbrand skins available for a particular product are an extra selling point.

Razer could literally have a monochrome display and get in no false advertising legal trouble.

I am really excited to see this review. I recently purchased the ROG G14 3060 variant, still R9 with 16GB DDR4 and a 1TB NVME drive, super slim and fast, but I was eyeballing the razer hard. The Razer just didn't have that wow factor to command the extra price. The g14 at 1449 USD is just so killer. It runs Control (with DLSS) with all RT effects at a very nice 70FPS. The 144hz display is great for Overwatch and other competitive shooters, and the R9 is just so insanely fast, and does anything I could ever want it to do for my daily driver machine for college and work. I found the Razer KB lacking severely, it felt almost mushy compared to the very crisp and tactile keys that are on the G14, although the Razer does win for having an enter key that doesnt have a dead zone, an unfortunate issue I have noticed on the G14. All in all. Spot on review, definitely nice to see this segment or ultraportable gaming laptops have legit competition these days

One thing I like about the Razer too is if maintained properly would keep a lot of its value for resale being that the design and build has been consistent over the years and would probably remain consistent.

this laptop is genuinely so impressive, just wish i could afford one

Razer lost me as a customer due to their customer support. I got one of the Blades for my gf because it was at the time one of the few gaming laptops that did not look like something designed by a 12 year old. It has a lot to like about it, but it's also extremely disappointing in how noisy it gets unless you purposefully downgrade it. But what made me forget Razer for future purchase was the customer support. The battery started bulging to the point that the trackpad did not work. I took it out to be safe and contacted Razer about a replacement. They refused to send me just a new battery or have me send the battery to them to get a new one. No, instead I was supposed to backup and wipe the machine, send it with a defective battery halfway across the world so they can open it, replace the battery and send it back to me. With no guaranteed timeframe when this would actually happen. That was just a ridiculous thing to ask for when my gf needed this for school and the problem could have been solved by an easily user replaceable part, you can even see the battery and it's connection in this video. Provide replacement parts or provide a service that can get the machine repaired in a clear timeframe.

Honestly, I love how Linus is respectable and still a Meme. Its so refreshing to watch.

It was when IIRC Asus crammed a crap load of super small fins into the same form factor fan and squeezed a bunch of ACTUAL additional cooling out of them

😂😂😂😂 Dbrand is the coolest spoonsor EVER! Bunch of crazy bots! 😂

5:16 This. This is how you get me to watch sponsor spots.

This has helped me big time thanks for uploading this certain razer blade Gaming Laptop

Once I had a Razer Blade Stealth, it was awesome, I fell in love with it, than the charger stop working, and than when the new charger came! It work for a week and started show a lot off issues, than I trade ir on a Surface Book and stay in Microsoft family till now, and end of the hystory.

It’s so stupid that amd still hasn’t added usb4 to their products. If gigabyte and asrock can add tb3 surely they can all add usb4.

Love how everyone on the back is having fun looking at him. Usually KZfaqrs of this magnitude don't have employees that see them as funny people

I have the blade 14 with the 3070 and i can easily get around 10 hours of battery life not in windows power saving mode and with brightness around 5p percent. I can get even more when I turn that down and turn on power saving mode. It turns off the gpu when it's not needed and used the integrated graphics instead for some improved efficiency. Edit: The screen is amazing, colors are so vibrant and crisp and the 165 hertz is so great to have in games.

bought my Razerblade 2016 model after seeing Linus give it rave reviews. Did not serve me well, had issues that exponentially grew until now where it doesn’t boot past the startup screen

2:48 But Linus, size doesn't matter right? 😃 It doesn't right? 😕

Linus: This cooling system though, this is pretty cool. The cooling system: Yes, that’s why I’m here.

My 2013 14" Razer Blade is still alive and kicking to this day. Had to track down a battery on alibambi or w/e (actually three times since the first two from different venders were defective), but yeah, still serves as a nice content consumption / light gaming machine. It's been handed down to my brother, my parents, my cousin's kid, and then back to me. Thing is a trooper.

That Quality Control person though, kudos!

Christmas party 2021 should include you giving all those AirPods to the lmg employees!

I love how inside the box it says Razer is committed to sustainability yet basically everything is plastic wrapped 🤣

I get that going AMD was the right move for now, but since I mainly use my 'old' 2019 Blade Pro at a desk the lack of Thunderbolt 3 is a no-go unless one of those USB-C ports connects directly to the graphics chip so GSYNC can still work over a USB-C to DP adapter. Current Blade Pro is driving a 3440 x 1440 100hz GSYNC monitor and GSYNC works via the TB3 port.

is Linus daily Drivin an ROG Flow X13 ? neat!

I love how near the end of the video Linus sounds so defeated. He's just been through this so many times with Razer.

6:40 that switch from Glorious Model O Wireless to a Razer mouse

Would be nice with a follow up on daily drivers. Whats does the LTT staff daily drive 2021? Thx for the great videos over the channels!

How many of the ones you gave away a few years back are still functional?

It looks nice, I just wish the razer logo was more subdued. Probably more than I would be willing to pay for a machine like this.

I always loved how the msi ghost series looks

4:44 so true, I don’t even know what’s going on, but it’s beautiful!

"This cooling system though, this is pretty cool" Ah yes, the floor here is made of floor

The Q, W, E, A, S, and D keys on my Blade 14 melted when the system failed to go to sleep after the lid was closed. Razer had no interest in covering it and wouldn't sell me a new keyboard.

Wish I could have held out for this over the 2021 15” Blade Advanced I ended up getting. Any laptop with AMD was impossible to get back in April/May when I needed one. The 16GB ram limit on this is a killer though

I bought a Legion 5(non-pro) based on your video and whilst there were a few issues, I spent about 1500 GBP in total including the purchase and a couple of upgrades. It's excellent now with upgraded ram which is cheap and a secondary m2 drive. It's a Ryzen 5800H with a 3070. I couldn't have bought a laptop with this level of performance for under 2k in the UK. It's 1080p but it's fine, way more than fine for gaming away from home. I have my main rig for 1440p or 4k. 3900x 3080 etc. UNLESS YOU HAVE A SPARE EPYC!

I'd be interested to see real-world gaming benchmarks between the three graphics options with respect to thermals. I wonder if you actually get much more performance flat-out.

It would have been interesting to have it with all-AMD config to test the performance and efficiency of Smart Shift vs AMD+Nvidia combo.

I had a razer blade 15 loke 3/4 years ago and i gotta say that running games at high settings is a chore especially with bad air flow. But damn they're fresh. The minimalist, matte black metal design. reminds me of the old MacBooks from 2008.

I'd like to know what the ram timings are on things like this. Are they at least giving you good soldered ram or is it trash?

Yea unfortunately lost me at "soldered ram". I really want to like this.

I’m glad the body isn’t tapered and stays consistent.

nooooooooooooo dont hurt linus! ive been waiting for this laptop review for a month now, glad to see Linus somewhat enjoyed this one- i could tell razer was really trying to impress Linus with the ports.

Changing the mouse is a nice touch

I'd love to see which he decides to use daily. The Blade 14 does look considerably bigger though. Life seems to be getting Linus down a bit, as he seems somewhat subdued recently. I guess he's seen manufacturers try to pull so much shit that it has just gotten very old.

Did you forget to mention if the ram was x8 or x16. In the previous LTT video ya’ll said you would always mention it!!

That dbrand ad was top notch

thumbs up because of Dbrand sponsoring ad :D its hilarious!

Hopefully getting one of these in the next week or so and giving my blade 15 to my little bro.

I’m still waiting for an in-depth review on this🤣

Just talking about memory downgrading your performance and unboxing razer blade 14. Nice

You know what? Even though I have no prob with Linus's laptop reviews, he likes to go deep on the details of the gamery hardware ... which is great and all ... but as a viewer who watches this stuff, I have become 'well balanced' and 'in tuned' with Alex's laptop review expertise when it comes to pure ergonomics; keyboard quality switch choice, deck flex, and general 'feelings' about how it compares to others on the market. I can from the distance of my home here, gauge how a unit Alex covers stacks up to the competition, and I appreciate the minor differences between them all, based squarely on how he responds to attributes (or failures) for each one. I would be totally comfortable making a laptop decision, only on his recommendations. Because I know how he feels about others he has reviewed, I can appreciate his 'one over another' recommendations for a laptop as a daily driver. Although I have zero problem with Linus's review ... I just dont know how this review, stacks up against other gamer laptops, as his style focuses on the one unit, and I cant tell how it compares to another unit from watching his laptop reviews, I cant tell exactly how good the keyboard is, or other attributes it may have. In essence, I have been sucked into Alex's reviews, I get what he is saying and I get how he ranks them. I WOULD RESPECTABLY SUGGEST that in the future, within the same video, after Linus runs thru the hardware, gamery details and geeks out, over what he likes about it ... change places with (or is 'joined by') Alex and let him do the ergonomic, layout and keyboard comparison, the way he does. In other words, work these high end gaming laptop videos together. Then ... reviews like this would slot nicely into the vast plethora of other laptops (gaming and otherwise) on the market, because in the end ... people who would consider this laptop, will probably use it as a daily driver. Are ya following me here? All I got, daily LTT watcher.

The thing I hate about Razer is how easily everything breaks. I used to love their mice and keyboards, and was totally oblivious to this until a friend of mine was like "...how many mice have you gone through over the past few years?" On the surface, this thing looks slick as hell. I don't know why laptop manufactures think gaming laptops need to look like futuristic scifi spaceships. Just having the immense power of a gaming laptop inside a moderately benign case is definitely my preference. But I just don't know if I could drop down the kind of scratch needed for a laptop like this and trust I'd still be able to use it in 2 years.

They should definitely review the new Legion 7. Apparently that machine is packing some serious performance

Dbrand throwing stuff on Linus takes me back to the good old days of Fractal Design on Techquickie

Hey guys, that's the exact comparison I'm struggling with Flow x13 VS Blade 14... any chance you do a deeper video on this comparison?

I'll never be able to move past my customer support experience with razer. I had a couple of their machines including a 2020 advanced model. In Feb 2021 I decided to purchase a 2021 model for my robotics programming business, where I needed something pretty powerful and low profile. When I received it it was DOA. By the time I got them to respond I was deep into a project and had to have it replaced asap. After I told them me sending it back for them to go through their validation process wasn't going to work because if my timeline, they finally conceded after an exchange of 6 emails that they would send a shopping label and after they confirmed it was picked up by FedEx they would ship me a unit they had already designated for my replacement. Well pickup cam and went and they never shipped. After a few more ignored emails they said they were going by their process of performing validation on the failure. I was so pissed at this point I said NVM just give me a refund I need something now. Well they never refunded but 2 weeks later (now about 4 weeks into the rma process) decided to ship me the replacement unit. I already purchased a new Alienware m15r3 so I didn't need it so they said I could return it for a refund. So that's what I did. They said once they received it they would refund the card it was purchased on. To make a longer story short they didn't refund the card until late April....from a February 8 mishap. Fuck razer. Never again.

All great and stuff let's see if it can last over a year without something breaking down on it.

Knowing Razer, the laptop will break down in a year or two as usual.

Dbrand ad segues are the best!

One thing I love more than Linus' segways to his sponsors, when the sponsor is dbrand.

Damn can't wait to use it with a 32 GB memory configuration.

Personally need a 32gb RAM option

Thanks so much for your channel

Top end hardware on these slim+small laptop chasis is definitely coming at the cost of durability. I have chonky laptops over 6yrs old still running like day 1 because they have the dimensions to handle the heat and keep temps down and thus ensure longevity of components. I am writing this on an ASUS Zephyrus Duo 15 and can confirm small form factors in hot and humid areas are a bad idea if you plan on using them for gaming as your main activity.

Linus sounds like he’s running on 30% power

I have been told by Ex-military people that if a company uses "Military-grade" material... Run. Run as far as you can in the opposite direction because it means it's cheap.

I Watched from my razer blade 15! Got to say I'm really happy with my purchase 😊 the only problem is the battery... But honestly I could not use a batter laptop

Bought a razer 14 and I have been loving it

Can we just acknowledge that 118WPM by Linus @7:05 is actually insane? I can barely hit 90.
