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 4060 Laptop GPU, 8 GB GDDR6; ROG Boost 1940 MHz at 100 W (85 W + 15 W Dynamic Boost)

Because of the thin chassis, the power limit is lower than in thicker gaming laptops that run the same GPU at up to 140 W, which can mean lower frame rates under load. The GPU is soldered.

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		ROG Nebula: 16-inch 2.5K (2560 × 1600) 16:10, IPS-level, anti-glare low-reflection (AGLR); 240 Hz, 3 ms, 100% DCI-P3, G-Sync, Pantone Validated

This QP version uses an IPS-level panel; the QR-coded versions have a 0.2 ms OLED panel.

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		32 GB LPDDR5X-7467 soldered on board; not upgradeable

ASUS states there is no memory slot in this configuration; capacity must be chosen at purchase.

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 PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD; 2 × M.2 PCIe slots

The second M.2 slot is for an additional SSD.

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, power delivery, 40 Gbps), 1 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (DisplayPort, power delivery, 10 Gbps), 2 × USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A, 1 × HDMI 2.1 FRL, SD card reader (UHS-II, 312 MB/s), 3.5 mm audio jack; XG Mobile GC34 support

Both USB‑C ports accept charging. There is no wired network (RJ45) port. XG Mobile GC34 is ASUS’s external graphics enclosure.
