The Razer Blade 15 is widely considered to be one of the best gaming laptops in the business, but you usually have to pay a lot of money for the privilege. That’s not the case right now though, with Amazon knocking a whopping £710 off the price as part of the Prime Early Access sale.
This configuration of the Razer Blade 15 – packing an Intel Core i7-11800H processor Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU, 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD – usually retails for £1699.99. It’s now available for just £989, making it one of the biggest laptop bargains this week.
While we haven’t reviewed this exact model, we’re a big fan of the Razer Blade range. It features a top class aluminium design that feels as classy as it looks, and a wickedly fast 144Hz screen so fast-paced action looks buttery smooth.
Thanks to the power of the Nvidia RTX 3060 GPU, it should be able to run any game in your Steam library at a 1080p resolution. You’ll even be able to activate the likes of DLSS and ray tracing for select games, allowing for a cutting-edge gaming experience.
You also get a great selection of ports here, including Wi-Fi 6, Ethernet, Thunderbolt 4, USB-A, USB-C and HDMI.
It’s worth pointing out that this is a fairly heavy laptop despite looking so slender, and it won’t be able to last too long away from a power charger. But these are normal compromises you need to make when opting for a gaming laptop with this much performance power.
The Razer Blade 15 is still a decent productivity laptop as long as there’s a power source within reach. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, and the large 15.6-inch display makes it easy to multitask with multiple apps.
With such a huge price drop, it’s unlikely that you’ll be able to find a better gaming laptop deal this week. So if you want to play games on a portable laptop, then we recommend splashing the cash on this. Just make sure you sign up for Amazon Prime to qualify for this deal.
