Paired with a black keyboard and trim, the Mercury Razer Blade 14 looks quite dashing and professional.
This is the same laptop that was updated earlier in 2022 with a powerful AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX CPU, and can be paired with either an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 GPU and an FHD 144Hz display (for $2,000) or an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Ti GPU and a QHD 165Hz display (for $2,600). Either way you’ll get the same 16GB of DDR5 RAM and 1TB SSD. Of course, you can still pick up the Razer Blade 14 in the existing Black and Quartz designs.
