Our Verdict
ASUS ROG Flow X13 (2023)
Razer Blade 14 (2022)
The ASUS ROG Flow X13 (2023) and the Razer Blade 14 (2022) are both excellent high-end gaming laptops. The Flow X13 has a brighter display, a better keyboard, and a faster CPU. However, the Blade 14 has a sturdier build, a wider port selection, and longer battery life. GPU performance will depend on which configuration you get. The Flow X13 has a slight edge, as its NVIDIA 40-series GPUs support Frame Generation. It also has a proprietary PCIe port that lets you connect ASUS' ROG XG Mobile eGPU, giving you access to an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop GPU.
