The price alone is why it is alway hard to recommend a blade over anything else comparable. I wanted a blade so bad but for the performance difference the price is never justifiable.

The G14 just keeps getting better every year. I was going to upgrade from my 2020 G14 but I think I'll hold back until we hear some more news about Zen 4 and when it'll be coming to laptops.

I completely agree that blade 14 has a tighter hinge but the reason why this happens at 3:49 is not just because the hinges are too loose rather due to ergolift when you are lifting up the g14 a part of the display is touching the table and creating a torque that makes the display open up instead of staying in place.

So happy to see you including DaVinci Resolve test results! :-) I love that reviewers are starting to do that more and more

Great video! I just got my hands on the g14 today and wondering if you had to disable the vari-bright in radeon to achieve maximum brightness. I was told to do so but I didn't see any difference between having it on/off and I'm not sure if it's pushing at 500 nits or no

I would love to see a side by side comparison of 16, 15 and 14 inch form factors of multiple brands within hard budget brackets. Ranking on the basis of performance then on the basis of portability (battery, ports, weight) which often inverts the rankings. At the end of the segment you could suggest use cases for each laptop. I feel this info is stuff that you often cover and is lacking in a lot of other reviews, just havent seen it all in one place.

This is exactly the review I was waiting for and I appreciate that it came out so soon. I'd be curios to see the same comparison in games to the previous Blade 14 to see if the step up in CPU and GPU make a difference but that G14 is a heck of a price, especially when you can get it with 32 gigs of ram for the cost of that Blade. Great content my dude, thanks for your hard work!

Man your reviews are exceptionally well done. Well thought out, cohesive and to the point. Keep at it mate

Hey Matthew what laptop do you recommend buying most between the g14 or msi gp66 or msi gp76

nice video is there a major difference between the model rtx 3060 and 3070 TI of the blade 14 regarding the performance

Thanks for this comparison video. There seems to be an error in the graph at 6:56 -- The green bar for the Asus in Deus Ex is shorter than the blue bar for the Razer, though the Asus shows 113 fps, vs 95 for the Razer. Could you clarify which is correct?

I would love to see the same comparison on 15" laptops like G15 and Razer.

Since you use Davinci Resolve, curious if you have the scaling problem when using 1440p laptops/displays where everything is either very small or very large?

Do we have any info on the screen response times for the QHD and FHD panels? That matters to me.

6:55, what's with the DEUS EX MANKIND bars? seems like an error

Are you going to review the X14? I know you're not a fan but the CPU performance is probably better. If they figure out how to put in a more powerful GPU with future revisions then I think it could compete with these two.

I need a laptop for data processing and 3D modeling, I’m debating on zephyrus G14, razer blade 14, or Alienware x14. Which one would you pick and why?

Thing about the Blade series is it only takes a little bit of research to find out the "premium" build is only skin deep. Doesn't do much good when the battery is going to do a surprise firework show within a year.

I'm looking for a laptop that has a Qhd display or higher that I can actually get Qhd on highest settings with good smooth game play and not sure when it comes to laptops so is the 6800s capable? What about 3060 or 3070? I love this specific setup but would hate to get it if it's not capable. Any ideas or recommendations?

Hey Matthew, how are you? Just have a quick question about the Asus ROG G14. How would Fortnite run on high settings with this laptop? And yes, does it make fan noise and heat up while playing different games? Thanks a lot if you would reply! Love your content!

Anyone know when we can get Eclipse Grey for the G14 in the US? Im going with that since I can get up to 40GB of RAM.

A comparison I appreciate! Also, how about the alienware x14, did it come out too yet?

Do you know when the black version of the 2022 g14 is supposed to be available in the US?

If you could help me to find the best laptop for gaming and adobe photoshop, want it to 17 inch and 3080Ti? I have no budget I just need the best for gaming and working. Thank you.

Hi is it right that the 6800s is directly connected to the hdmi port? That means that the igpu doesn’t work with an external monitor.

The max out g14 with ryzen 69000hs delivers excellent and the milliseconds has changed a lot. It went from 25ms to 3ms

thanks for a great review with real-world scenarios, further still making a decisive decision at the end, ... this is pretty spot on for me as I'm due to upgrade my laptop, and G14 was the front runner.

Stumbled upon your video and love the tiny details you mentioned in comparison. Just wondering, which laptop opens up wider? I usually have it up on a stand when not travelling and it's annoying that the screen for my XPS can only open up at an angle on the stand.

Really loved your conclution. really clear and said who should pick wich model. Super video !

Thanks for the video, a year later :) I am about to purchase a Razer 14 with an RTX 3080Ti on it mainly for doing 3d/rendering. I remember you had some doubts on this GPU on another video and was wondering if you had any feedback on this..the cpu is the same as on the one you are showing here. Thanks a lot!

Can the g14 support a 32gb DDR5 in it's one available slot for 40GB including the 8GB soldered on?

For first person shooters like Warzone, which one would you recommend?

I really wish the next G14 has a 16:9 option with UHD or 1440p screen and 3060 or 3070 graphics, even if Max-Q. I need that kind of portable yet powerful creative station (and game console!)

What do you think of the lowest specced models of each competitor with FHD and 3060 or 6700? :) I would like to buy One of these for Uni / light work and Gaming (with ext. Monitor, so QHD isnt something im Super hyped about) And great video!!

a silly question , hdmi 2.0b , is it able to support 4k 60hz and 120hz?

Would you recommend a M16 with i7-12700H RTX 3060 80-95W 16gb ram or a G14 with Ryzen 6800HS RX 6800S 105W 32gb ram M16 goes for 2300€ G14 goes for 2500€ Are the G14 thermals, fan noise, gaming and future proofing in general better and you could just get an external monitor for bigger screen?

At 6:52, you show QHD performance, of the G14 vs the R14. Here, Deus Ex Mankind says 113 FPS for the G14, but 95 FPS for the R14, but the G14 is shown with significantly performance in graph. Which is it?

Nice review, man! Great pacing, lots of pertinent info, and a clear, logical conclusion. Thanks

where can I find the black version tho? I looked everywhere

4:40 is HX actually unlocked? I've never seen any ability to overclock them or do any bonus tuning.

how to get the g14 black? full amd version please.

3:55 About the G14 hinge, mine does stay in position even if I tilt it back, so idk if it's a QC issue or something like that. Great comparison though.

Thank you, Going to watch this video later. I have been looking for these 2 computers.

Love the G14, I am a bit frustrated by the color choice availability on it. Some regions only have it in white, some don't have the 6800s yet while others only have it with the Anime Matrix and make you pay for it even if you don't want it. Hopefully this gets better with time because it's such a good device.

Are the blender tests using GPU or CPU? cause that difference is so huge compared to other benchmarks i've seen, when comparing AMD to Intel CPUs.

What similar laptops would you guys recommend for a workflow that involves a lot of 3d renderings and architectural softwares? Most importantly that it’s easily portable

Please where can i buy a g14 been trying to get my hands on one real bad

Hi is m16 a good choice for content creators?

Hey long-time sub here great comparison as always! I was just wondering what your opinion on their qc and long term durability are? I’m in the market for a laptop and want to make sure it’s something that can last a few years since these aren’t cheap devices

What would take this video to the next level, would be icons on the side of the vid highlighting the points each laptop got. So where it did better it's green for example.

I have a Samsung G9 monitor (49' curved ultrawide)...I wonder what FPS I would get gaming hooking the G14 to it.

Great review! Really trying to decide between these two but i think you convinced me to go with the G14. You think its worth it to upgrade from the 2020 G14 to the 2022 G14?

6:49 the graph is a bit off. In Deus Ex the fps on the G14 is higher with 113 than the 95 from the blade yet the bars show the opposite.

hi mattew , what will u choose for G14? 6700s or 6800s , and how do u feel about the AniMe Matrix verison.

Thanks for the video review. At 6:45 mark, Deus Ex Mankind Divided 113 FPS bar should be longer than 95 FPS.

I'd love to see some benchmark comparisons of some of these games on both under Linux... since AMD GPUs are better supported in Linux than NVIDIAs are.

I got a Razer blade 2021 on sale last month and absolutely love it. Never seen a windows laptop matching Apples build quality and aesthetics combined with 3080 monstrosity.

I have a question, why do all laptop youtubers do tests for 1080p gaming on QHD laptops? Doesn’t 1080p gaming scale very badly on a QHD laptop? Btw keep up the good content Matthew! Love the work

do you have a video on why you switch to resolve?

So if they were both the same price both with the same size, same RAM which one would u choose

Just made the decision between these two machines and ultimately went for the G14 based on price. Overall, I've been really happy with my decision, although I did have to return my first G14 unit after just 10 days because of dead pixels.

There is a clear winner here and that is the one with the 16:10 display. I have worked/studied on many smaller sized 16:9 and that will never do it again, such a pain... 16:10 format is simply superior for small laptops like these.

What about performance with battery only?

Matt, great video. Quick question. If the price was closer to $430 difference would you recommend the razer at that point? I'd mainly use it for RTS gaming and for web surfing, office apps. Thanks!

I got my full-spec dark grey (practically black) G14 last week. All I have done with it so far is turn it on, essentially. Already, though, I don't like the keyboard backlighting or the keyboard font. A lot more light bleeds around the keys than comes through the letters on the keys. The ROG gamer font on the keys takes getting used to - I find it distracting. Using a trackpad without buttons is a new experience for me, and I'll need to learn the tricks. And the two AMD stickers were poorly aligned. Which I wouldn't mention if Matthew didn't make a fuss about it.

Hey man please respond, does the 16gb version from best buy the same as the 32gb with vapor chambered cpu, gpu, and ram i believe?

would be great if you could test the lambda fusion razer, looks out of this world

Could you compare it to x13 flow?

I cannot afford the G14 2022 model but somehow I can buy the G14 2021 ryzen 7 model Now which one should I go for Zephyrus g14 or Lenovo IdeaPad gaming 3 or acer nitro 5 2022 model . Basically I want to visit all those skill sectors . As a computer science student I've talked with my seniors and they suggested me to achieve atleast one skill along with my graduation and master it . Hope you'll help me out 🙂

Hasn’t any new good laptop released in 2022 which price is around 1000$?

Which is better for video editing?

Where to buy the 32GB Ram G14?

I saw both this laptops at the exact same price which should I get

I just wish the G14 was available in Canada besides that one specced-down configuration at bestbuy which is sold out. I want a white 6900hs+6800s but I expect to have to wait until the summer :( Meanwhile I could have a blade 14 on my doorstep in less than 48 hours and desperately need to upgrade my old laptop, but it's expensive as hell and the G14 is generally more enticing to me for many reasons. Just don't know how much longer I can wait.

Which one is better for web development ???

can the g14 3070 ti run vr well?

What gaming laptop should I go for with 1.8k- 2k $ budget

I have heared about g14 that it can run AAA games at high settings even with 100 watt usb charger. That its that efficient that 100 watt can be shared between cpu and gpu. Is that right? Can you test that? Would be interesting to see that. Its kind of a big deal if you can game at 100 watt charger :)

I would love to see asus scar 15 vs razer 15 comparison:) or M16 vs razer 15 :)

Whats wrong with the x14?

I have a question that I'd love to hear your views on. I currently own a 14" razerblade (the 3K touch version) that was purchased in January of 2016, making it 6.5 years old. I used to game more when I got it, but haven't done any during grad school. However... this laptop has been a phenomenal performance laptop. I use it for bioinformatics work, video editing, and graphics editing. I have noticed no deterioration in function over the years. The only thing that crapped out was the mouse pad buttons. But they stopped working years ago and haven't been any issue to work around. It even survived a fall with only a minor scuff on one corner. I want to get a new laptop that will have the same performance and durability. Maybe I'll do some gaming, but I also want it to be great for watching movies and graphics editing etc. Is getting a new razerblade 14" the right choice? Are there any others I should seriously consider? I'm ok with the higher price if it means I get more years with it. I'm not sure how other brands measure up in longevity. Also, I would only consider 13-14" laptops.

Which one is the best for graphic design and photography editing...?

I'm going to be starting college getting my BFA in animation and one of the laptops the recommend is the Razor blade 15, but I'm thinking about getting the Blade 14, 3070ti. What are your thoughts on the best laptops for 3d animation and modeling?

The hinge point at 3:55 was a bit weird to point out... they're pivoting on completely different parts of the computer lol. Of course the G14's display isn't going to stay put... the back 'feet' is the bottom of the screen lid. Whereas on the blade, you're just pivoting it on non-moving parts like the back of the lid or bottom/back edge of the laptop.

An in-depth review of the LAPTOPS! It's not another high-profile KZfaq reviewer(dev2d) who isn't doing a thorough review like you. I hope you'll do that kind of review more often.

This is a very impartial review, thanks!

Is the G14 going to be strong enough to really do video editing? How hard do the fans blow when it is used on video editing?

So can someone break down why AMD graphics card does poor on CAD programs such Blender?

It's a shame the Razer Blade 14 doesn't have a 32GB option... I need this amount of Ram to work and I'm having a hard time finding good small laptops with that Ram

The g14 isn't on the best Buy in Canada yet, or at least I can't find it

what is better the RX 6800S or the 3070 ti

my g14 was delivered on Tuesday. So far my only gripe is lack of HDMI 2.1, 16GB of RAM instead of 32GB, and the Moonlight chassis instead of Eclipse Grey. Obviously I knew about all of this before purchasing though. Performance wise it's a beast. Screen is very nice and I love the 16:10 ratio which makes it feel bigger than what it is.

Where are you finding the G14 with these specs for $1899? I see it at Best Buy for $2500...at that price the comparison becomes a bit trickier.

Funny this comes out the same day I order the Asus M16, looks like I made the right choice as it seems I get the best of both worlds, 16:10 screen with Nvidia GPU

6:47 what's up with the Deus Ex Mankind chart?

Would be interesting to see the Alienware X14 added into the comparison since it’s powered by Intel instead of AMD

Great comparison. Thank you.

can you make a video on asus tuf series gaming laptops

Absolutely love this video. Please update to include that Razer’s last for about a month before something breaks

would've been great to get keyboard sounds, webcam and mic samples, and some speaker playback. it's impossible to know the difference you're talking about if you don't own these, which I'm assuming most people that are watching this comparison don't
