    Since one of us decided to separate the thread for Blade Pro away from Blade 14. I too decided to start a new thread solely for Blade 14 owners !

    Lets keep the upgrades and info coming !

    Having trouble deciding between the 17" as I'm a fan of the 1080p display, or buying the 14" and using it primarily with a 1080p monitor.

    Anyone have benchmarks on running games at 1080p on the 14" Blade (using 1080p external monitor)?

    Is it true that you need to keep the laptop open to vent heat even iwhen using an external monitor?

    For it to vent a little better yes because the vents shoot upwards.

    Razer got its own section and a 14 owners lounge! Joining the party! So far I love this little guy. I think that with a cooling pad keeping it closed wouldn't be too much of an issue keeping the lid closed.

    I've just bought it using my overseas card and the address provided to me by Bongo. All worked fine, shipped in 2 days as well!

    Hello everyone. Please listen to my story and have some compassion to help me out if you can. I really need a favour ):

    I've been experiencing some problems with my razer blade 14 inch (2013) since I bought it last October. Firstly the webcam is faulty (it constantly flashes green), secondly after a few months of use the left click button became faulty and I now have to press down very hard to make it work (which is a huge hindrance when gaming) and thirdly as of yesterday my laptop suddenly told me that it can not detect the battery (it says 'no battery is detected' and now only works when connected to the mains).

    I have been extremely upset because it's such an expensive laptop and I saved for so long to buy it. I contacted razer for support and have been told that they would exchange it. But when I investigated the terms of their warranty I realized that the seller I bought it from was unauthorized and my laptop therefore doesn't qualify for their 1 year warranty. I really don't know what to do at this point and as I said have been really upset.

    My favour that I am asking you guys is, if you also own a razer blade 14 inch (2013) would you possibly mind letting me use a copy of your invoice (you don't have to disclose ANY personal information to me) so that I can tell razer that my laptop qualifies for their warranty and have it exchanged? I promise I'm not some scammer or anything and I really just need some help at the minute because this is such an expensive laptop and I've not even had it for a year. If anybody is kind enough and willing please contact me. My email address is [email protected]

    Your kindness will not be forgotten and I will send you a personal thank you card and gift to show my appreciation

    Thank you,
    Melissa Parnaby
