Razer		Intel Core i9-14900HX; 24 cores (8 performance + 16 efficiency), 32 threads, up to 5.8 GHz, 36 MB cache

Intel lists 55 W base and 157 W maximum turbo power for this processor; the laptop’s actual limit is set by ASUS’s operating mode.

ASUS
GraphicsNVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU; 8 GB GDDR7; 100 W sustained TGP, 115 W with Dynamic Boost

The RTX 5070 Laptop is the strongest option in the Blade 14; RTX 5060 Laptop versions are also sold. Dynamic Boost shifts 15 W of the power budget to the GPU when CPU load is low. G-Sync is enabled in the NVIDIA Control Panel.

Razer		NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080 Laptop GPU, 12 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 2330 MHz at 175 W (150 W + 25 W Dynamic Boost)

NVIDIA gives a 60–150 W subsystem power range for this GPU; the 175 W figure includes the 25 W added by Dynamic Boost when CPU load is low. The graphics chip is soldered to the motherboard and cannot be replaced.

ASUS
Display14-inch 3K (2880 × 1800) OLED, 16:10; 120 Hz; 0.2 ms response time; Calman Verified colour profiles

Ready profiles for Rec. 709, DCI-P3, sRGB and Adobe RGB lock the screen to that colour space for colour-critical work. 120 Hz is lower than the previous 240 Hz IPS, but OLED response is very fast.

Razer		16-inch ROG Nebula HDR Mini LED; 2560 × 1600 (16:10), 240 Hz, 3 ms; DCI-P3 100%, anti-glare surface, G-SYNC, Pantone Validated

The Mini LED backlight dims in zones; Notebookcheck counted 2,048 dimming zones on its test unit. The display supports Dolby Vision HDR.

ASUS
MemoryLPDDR5X 8000 MHz, up to 64 GB; soldered (cannot be upgraded later)

The Best Buy Canada configuration on this page has 32 GB; memory must be chosen at purchase.

Razer		64 GB (2 × 32 GB) DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM; 2 slots, up to 64 GB

Both slots come filled in this configuration; upgrading memory means replacing the modules.

ASUS
StoragePCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD (up to 2 TB); single M.2 slot, upgradable to a single-sided drive up to 4 TB

There is no second SSD slot; upgrading replaces the existing drive. Double-sided M.2 drives may not fit the thin chassis.

Razer		2 TB + 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD (RAID 0); 2 × M.2 slots

RAID 0 combines the two drives into one volume; speed goes up, but if one drive fails all data can be lost.

Ports2 × USB4 Type-C (PD 3.0, up to 100 W charging); 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A; HDMI 2.1; UHS-II microSD; 3.5 mm audio; security lock slot

The USB4 ports also work with Thunderbolt 4 docks and accessories. 100 W USB-C charging needs a 20 V capable adapter and does not replace the 200 W adapter for gaming.

Razer		1 × Thunderbolt 4 (DisplayPort, G-SYNC, 40 Gbps), 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, power delivery, G-SYNC), 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, 1 × 2.5G LAN, 1 × 3.5 mm audio jack

According to Notebookcheck the Thunderbolt 4 port does not accept charging; USB-C charging goes through the other Type-C port at up to 100 W. The LAN port does not support PoE, and there is no SD card reader.
