Amazon has slashed more than $400 off the Razer Blade 14 (mid-2023) model, making one of my favorite gaming laptop configurations an even better deal.
While I am incredibly fond of the Razer Blade 14 (2024) that I reviewed earlier this year, its performance wasn't much better than the previous model, and the battery life was significantly worse. This led me to argue that the Razer Blade 14 (2023) was the better purchase, which isn't shocking given that our reviewer, Claire Tabari, called that model "a jack-of-all-trades that does everything wonderfully."
There are only a handful of differences between the two Blade 14 models, as they're built on the same chassis and feature a powerhouse Nvidia GeForce RTX 4070 GPU. Both laptops have the same display specs, similar memory and storage configuration options, making the AMD Ryzen 9 processor generation the only difference. The 2023 Blade 14 features a Ryzen 9 7940HS processor compared to the 2024 Blade which has a Ryzen 9 8945HS CPU.
So, shaving a cool $400 off the Razer Blade 14 (2023) thanks to Amazon's Black Friday deals makes it an even better purchase.
But if the Blade 14 sale isn't quite good enough to tempt you, we have a bevy of gaming laptops on sale for Black Friday if you'd prefer to shop around for the best deal.
