Razer Blade 14 vs Alienware X14 vs AMD ROG Zephyrus G14
The Alienware X14 is a brand new entry to the Alienware roster, as they seek to compete more with Razer and ASUS for market share in the 14-inch gaming laptop space. However, although the laptop undoubtedly looks good, and is the thinnest 14-inch gaming laptop you can currently buy, we don’t think it manages to top the same size offerings from either of these other brands. Compared to the all-AMD, ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14, the Alienware X14 has a less powerful GPU and lower display resolution for around the same price, so for a mid-upper powered machine, the G14 wins out. Compared to the Razer Blade 14 2022 version, which is able to be specced out with an RTX 3080 Ti graphics card, the Alienware X14 doesn’t have the same high-powered spec options, so isn’t as suitable for top-end performance gaming.
