Our Verdict
Razer Blade 18 (2024)
ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024)
Though both are gaming laptops, the Razer Blade 18 (2024) and the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 (2024) are quite different, as the Blade 18 is a large 18-inch model designed to be a desktop replacement, while the G14 is a much more portable model for on-the-go use. The Blade 18 will give you more processing power, as it's available with a faster Intel 14th Gen HX CPU and higher-end NVIDIA GPUs, including an RTX 4080 and 4090 Laptop GPU. It also has higher-refresh display options, a better webcam, a wider port selection, and user-replaceable RAM. On the other hand, the G14's battery life is much better in light uses, making it a better option as a general productivity device.
