USB 4 enables powerful benefits for all 2022 Blade 14 models. The updated USB C ports offer speeds up to 40 Gbps and allow for Thunderbolt functionality, meaning that the Blade 14 can be paired with external GPUs like the Razer Core X Chroma.

Razer Blade Skins
Razer has also revealed the availability of Blade 14 skins. Top skins are priced at $25 and complete coverage skins at $60.
“Razer Blades can be customized more than ever by picking from a wide selection of options now available with Razer Skins. Each Razer Skin is made in-house, designed, and manufactured in the USA. Made with a 3M Controltac Graphic Film with Comply Adhesive, each skin can be easily repositioned and eventually removed without concerns for lasting marks or damage. This high-quality material is also used for lasting vehicle wraps and graphics made to withstand intense conditions easily. Razer Skins can be purchased in either full cover or top only options.”
“Microsoft Pluton security processor allows for better protection against new, sophisticated attacks by building protection directly onto the silicon. The AMD Ryzen 6000 series is the first X86 processor to fully support Windows 11 security features thanks to the integrated Microsoft Pluton security processor, which helps further secure the system with chip-to-cloud protection.”
