Razer Unveils First AMD-Powered Blade 14 Laptop and More at E3
Razer showed up to E3 this year and showed off three items for gamers to enjoy. First, let’s talk about the new USB-C GaN 130W Charger. This charging device uses Gallium Nitrade to power up to 4 devices. It offers 2 100W USB-C ports and 2 18W USB-A ports for charging laptops, tablets, phones, smartwatches, and more. The most impressive aspect to me is how small this charger is. It measures 3.2mm x 7.7mm x 6.2mm which is impressive. This charger costs $179.99 and is available now.
Next, we’ve got the new Raptor 27 monitor. According to Razer, this is the world’s first THX certified PC monitor which is pretty awesome. The 27” monitor features a 165Hz refresh rate and 1ms response time on a QHD (2560x1440) panel. It supports both AMD FreeSync Premium and NVIDIA G-Sync. It also features built-in cable management and Razer Chroma RGB lighting. In addition, Razer’s also announced the Raptor VESA mount for all your monitor needs. The Raptor 27 will cost $799.99 and release early Q3 2021. The Raptor VESA mount will launch at the same time for $99.99.
Finally, we have a brand new Razer Blade 14. This is the first Razer Blade laptop to bring an AMD CPU to the motherboard and it’s chosen the Ryzen 9 5900HX. This is paired with up to the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 mobile GPU to give gamers incredible performance. The screen is a QHD display with a 165Hz refresh rate. Of course, the Blade 14 has the signature Razer Chroma RGB backlighting as well as THX Spatial Audio, up to 12 hours of battery life, an all-aluminum chassis anodized with a matte black coating, and very slim measurements (0.66” x 8.66” x 12.59”). Vaporized liquid is used to dissipate the heat inside the machine alongside two ultra-low-profile fans (.1mm thin) to allow the CPU and GPU to go unhindered. If you’re curious about ports, the Blade 14 offers two USB 3.2 Type-C ports, two USB 3.2 Type-A ports, HDMI 2.1, and a 3.5mm jack. You can order your Razer Blade 14 now starting at $1,799.99.
