Next is the Razer Blade 14, the latest in the Blade line of gaming laptops. The Blade 14 is the first ever Blade laptop to feature an AMD processor, the 8-core AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX. The Blade 14 will also feature Nvidia 30-series graphics cards as well as a quad HD display capable of up to 156 Hz. All of this is contained in a 14-inch chassis, along with a keyboard highlighted by Razer's signature Chroma RGB and a dynamic audio output. 

The Blade 14 will also use Razer's new charging technology, called the USB-C GaN Charger.
