Razer Blade 15 | RTX 3080 Ti | Intel i9-12900H at Razer (opens in new tab)
This is the best gaming laptop on the market right now, but you’re going to be spending a lot to get it. If you’ve got the budget to play with we’d really recommend going to the top of this spec and packing an RTX 3080 Ti GPU with an i9-12900H processor and helping it all shine with a 144Hz 4K display. Of course, there are cheaper models out there, but if we’re really talking about the best of the best, this is where you should start your benchmarks.

Fire Strike: 20,171
Time Spy: 9,690
PC Mark 10: 7,340

We got our hands on a beast of a Razer Blade 15, but it showed us just how powerful gaming laptops can be these days. The RTX 3080 Ti / i9-12900H configuration I had on my desk was a true monster in its performance. However, this rig’s ability to offer such performance while keeping the slimline chassis we’ve all come to know and love really cemented its top spot among the best gaming laptops on the market.

Of course, this is no cheap machine. The 2022 Razer Blade 15 starts at $2,499.99 for an RTX 3060 configuration. You’re certainly paying for this luxury name here, but if you’re on the hunt for one of the most technically capable machines in one of the most portable form factors, the cash is well invested.

That does mean this isn’t necessarily the best gaming laptop for everyone – those playing lighter games won’t need the horsepower on offer here, and if you’re just after a machine you can sign into every now and then you won’t get solid value by going all out. However, if you’re interested in a top of the range rig (and have the budget to throw at it), our testing speaks for itself.

“In 2022, the Razer Blade 15 is still doing exactly what its ancestors did – leading in high-end components and luxury performance.”
Razer Blade 15 review

I managed to run Shadow of the Tomb Raider at 74fps in 4K with everything turned up to 11 here. While more demanding titles still struggled in that UHD resolution, though, I was still impressed with the 60+ fps in 1440p on Red Dead Redemption 2 as well as the 78fps in the same resolution on The Division 2. I only needed to drop some more taxing visual effects to hit higher framerates in 4K, and everything looked incredible while doing so.

You can’t beat the Razer Blade 15 for performance, component horsepower, and portability. After all, the only other machines offering RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards at the time of writing still can’t compete with that 4K 144Hz display for the price.

2. Dell G15

The best gaming laptop under $1,000

Specifications

Reasons to buy

+Solid performance+Sensibly priced+More powerful configurations now available

Reasons to avoid

-Gets hot under duress-Chassis is a bit lacking

Our favorite configuration:

Dell G15 | RTX 3050 | Intel i5-11260H at Dell (opens in new tab)
The Dell G15 works best when it’s super cheap, which is why this entry level RTX 3050 configuration is our favorite. Those on the hunt for a rig designed for lighter gaming and the odd Apex Legends session will find great value here, without needing to break the bank on gaming laptops over $800.

The Dell G15 isn’t going to light the world of the best gaming laptops on fire, but it is at least a dependable choice of gaming companion. Performance in both gaming and general tasks is good considering the price point, and all the features we’ve come to expect from gaming laptops are present and accounted for – apart from that bank-busting price tag. You’ll often find these models on sale with RTX 3050 / RTX 3050 Ti graphics cards for well under $1,000 – sometimes as low as $699.99.

The appearance of this laptop could be a point of contention, though, as we found the chassis to feel a bit old-fashioned for 2022. A dark iridescent finish and thick central hinge feel like throwbacks to a forgotten age of tech design that should perhaps have stayed in the past.

The G15 also runs fairly hot when playing more graphically demanding titles, although not to a worrying extent; we’ve certainly reviewed laptops with noisier fans than this. As it stands, the G15 is a great all-rounder, ideal as a gift for a kid looking to break into PC gaming or the office employee consigned to remote working – and playing.

Alienware M15 R7 | RTX 3060 | Intel i7-12700H at Dell (opens in new tab)
We tested the Alienware M15 R7 with an RTX 3070 Ti GPU at the helm, but considering that configuration comes in at over $2,000 right now, you’re getting solid value for money with this RTX 3060 build. You’re still getting that uber powerful 12th generation processor, and 16GB DDR5 RAM in here. We’ve opted to keep the 360Hz panel we tested in this build – it’s only $100 more for the luxury and it really was an impressive display, well worth the cash.

Fire Strike: 24,894
Time Spy: 10,722
PC Mark 10: 7,623

The Alienware M15 R7 is here to bring the now mid-range line of luxury laptops into 2022’s standards. With Intel’s new 12th generation processors and Nvidia’s Ti GPUs at the helm, there’s some serious power up for grabs here. While prices are looking a little higher than those of the predecessor (especially now that discounts abound on the outdated model), you’re getting enough new tech under the hood to warrant the splurge.

We were blown away by the performance of this machine. Our test unit featured an i7-12700H processor and an RTX 3070 Ti graphics card, and was easily sailing through our benchmarks and stress tests. This beast didn’t even flinch at heavier titles like Red Dead Redemption 2 and Metro Exodus – offering up 76fps in RDR2’s Ultra settings, and 72fps with all RTX set to max in Metro Exodus. Those are settings that would make the uber expensive RTX 3080 Ti Razer Blade 15 sweat.

Faster action titles ran without a hitch, with that 360Hz refresh rate display acting as the cherry on the stunningly powerful cake.
Alienware M15 R7 review

However, it’s worth noting that this machine is built purely for power. It’s a stocky design, and a particularly heavy one at that – the charging brick alone nearly runs the full length of the keyboard. So no, this isn’t going to be a gaming laptop you’ll easily throw into a backpack – and those fans can certainly scream – but if you’re looking for an all-rounder that can level with machines far pricier than itself, these are easy sacrifices to make.

Alienware is, after all, a luxury brand. With its M-series now falling to the middle of its range (thanks to the advent of the X-series last year), the Alienware M15 R7 is affordable by the brand’s standards. That means you’ll find far cheaper machines out there, but without that Alienware pedigree to speak of. Still, with performance to rival some of the best gaming laptops in the business, and only a few sacrifices to get there for a great price, this is an excellent option for most players. You could consider the X15 technically the best Alienware gaming laptop on paper alone, but when it comes down to price and the wider market, this is the winner.

4. Asus TUF Dash F15

The best gaming laptop for value hunters

Specifications

Reasons to buy

+Great pricing+Slimline design +Solid performance

Reasons to avoid

-Soft membrane keys

Our favorite configuration

Asus TUF Dash F15 | RTX 3070 | Intel i7-11370H at Amazon (opens in new tab)
The Asus TUF Dash F15 manages to pack some incredible graphics into a much smaller MSRP than you’d usually find because it sacrifices a little processing power. That i7-11370H processor will remain whichever configuration you choose, but it chugs along nicely and we never experienced any slowdown during everyday play on medium settings. Not only that, but this spec also sends you home with a 1TB SSD, 16GB RAM, and a 240Hz display to boot.

Fire Strike: 17,365
Fire Strike Extreme: 9,870
PCMark 10: 6,022

If you’re looking to grab an RTX 30-Series card but don’t want to break too far past $1,000 / £1,000, the Asus TUF Dash F15 is going to be your best bet. In our testing, we found this budget-friendly machine to charge through even some of the more demanding titles as if it sat in a much higher price bracket – despite the weaker 4-core i7-11370H processor at the helm. Plus, you’re still getting the super slimline form factor that has proven so popular over the last couple of years.

You’ll be hitting 60fps+ in most games as long as you’re happy not playing everything maxed out.
Asus TUF Dash F15 review

The key here is that you can outfit it with the full 11th generation i7 / 1TB / 32GB RAM suite of turbo power – or you can pick up a more conservative spec for a little less cash. That means you won’t need to spend on high-end gear that you might not even get to use if you’re running less demanding titles.

We were particularly impressed by how well those more power-hungry components played together in a cheaper chassis. We didn’t notice any over-heating issues here, and while we did have to make some sacrifices to more demanding titles, we still managed to hit 60fps+ on an RTX 3070 with consistency. We also tested an RTX 3060 unit and found similar performance levels when dropping a few sliders down a fraction as well, which means you’re sorted at all ends of the budget here.

As of CES 2022, there is a new Asus TUF Dash F15 on the way, featuring a larger touchpad, 12th generation Alder Lake processor, and a new cooling system. However, pricing and release date information is still unknown.

Our favorite configuration:

Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 | Radeon RX 6700S | AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS at Best Buy (opens in new tab)
There is a more expensive RX 6800S configuration on offer, but it’s not going to fix the performance under ray tracing conditions and we were still getting some excellent performance out of our 6700S. That means the cheaper option is our go-to for the G14, especially considering you’re still getting the same Ryzen 9 6900HS CPU whirring away under the hood as well.

Fire Strike: 21,728
Time Spy: 8,644
PC Mark 10: 6,706

The Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 long reigned over the slimline gaming laptop world. It was one of the first easily portable machines, built with a form factor that respected your backpack and your desk top. 2022 heralds in a new AMD future for this fan favorite, and despite some thermal concerns and ray tracing throttling, the G14 is all the more impressive for it.

That’s a serious amount of power to pack into this super small form factor after all, and we managed to squeeze some impressive numbers out of this compact design as well. While it does feel built for 1080p (framerates do cliff-dive at the native QHD+ resolution), we were getting some excellent scores in Fire Strike and in-game benchmarking considering the stress this machine is under. Metro Exodus was flying at High settings, hitting 82fps consistently, and The Division 2 managed to hold onto 78fps in Ultra settings as well.

Whether trundling through Red Dead Redemption 2’s snowy landscapes or skimming webpages, everything feels sharp and snappy
Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 review

Not only that, but the new 16:10 display was a sight to behold. Crisp and clean, the extra height offered in the display was easily welcomed over the cramped feeling Alienware and Razer offerings. You’ll also find an improved LED display running along the back, with sharper customizable animations for an extra personal edge.

We did notice those temperatures creeping under intense workloads, though, so this will be one to keep on a desk rather than a lap. That said, not many 14-inch rigs can keep up with these specs, and even fewer can do so with the extra screen space afforded to you here. The G14 is the best 14-inch gaming laptop we’ve had our hands on so far.

6. Alienware X17

The best 17.3-inch gaming laptop

Specifications

Reasons to buy

+Fantastic gaming performance+Good keyboard and trackpad+Mechanical Cherry MX keyboard

Reasons to avoid

-More expensive than most-Gets hot

Our favorite configuration:

Alienware X17 R2 | RTX 3070 Ti | Intel i7-12700H at Dell (opens in new tab)
The X17 is a beast, so you might as well push your investment. This RTX 3070 Ti configuration nestles itself neatly between the extraordinarily expensive RTX 3080 Ti model and the only slightly cheaper RTX 3060. With 16GB of DDR5 4800 MHz RAM as a baseline, there’s plenty of room to customize here, but that i7-12700H processor will see you through heavy releases all the same.

Firestrike: 18,061
Timespy: 8,040

If you’re after a larger display panel, the merits of the 17.3-inch Alienware X17 are obvious, but under the surface there’s plenty more going on here. Although it might start at an already-whopping price and comes in models that go above the $3,000 / £3,000 mark, the Alienware x17 R1 works hard to earn its price tag and is one of the best gaming laptops to come out of 2021. The X-Series is Alienware’s latest and greatest selection of laptops, designed to appeal to the brand’s more premium customers looking for the very best gaming laptop money can buy.

Despite its noisy fans, the Alienware x17 R1 is a beast of a gaming laptop that will serve as an ideal desktop replacement for any serious gamer.
Alienware X17 review

A choice of 1080p or 4K display, a variety of RAM and storage specs, and either a membrane or compact mechanical keyboard makes it easy to tailor this laptop to your personal needs. One of the best things about larger 17.3-inch devices is that they can pack considerably more power under the hood, without overheating. While we did experience some considerable warmth (and noise in performance mode) in our testing, but we never neared dangerous temperatures.

With the ability to move up to an Intel i9 processor, 64GB RAM, 4TB of SSD storage and a 120Hz 4K display, it’s possible to create a real beast out of this machine. We tested an i7-11800H configuration packed with an RTX 3080 GPU and 16GB RAM, and even this more conservative spec managed to push 99fps on Shadow of the Tomb Raider’s Ultra settings, and 112fps with the same settings on The Division 2. Even more entry level configurations will still set you back a bit of cash, but that’s because of the premium additional features that make this one of the best rigs on the market.

A slimline design works nicely in this size, especially considering the additional bulk that a larger display usually brings with it. However, you’re also picking up a mechanical keyboard, plenty of ports, and a gorgeous display panel up top. If you’re looking to splash the cash on something that’s truly going to make a statement, the Alienware X17 is an excellent option.

Our favorite configuration:

Alienware x14 | RTX 3050 | Intel i5-12500H at Dell (opens in new tab)
The Alienware x14 holds most of its value in its super slimline form factor and flexible (though still incredibly luxurious) design. While cheap by Alienware’s standards, though, it’s still a costly affair. If you’re looking for that super thin profile above all else, we’d recommend taking a look at the base RTX 3050 configuration. You’re getting that luxury chassis with Intel’s latest processing chip and DDR5 RAM for $1,499.99 here, the best value out of all the options.

Fire Strike: 17,408
Time Spy: 7,807
PC Mark 10: 7,123

The Alienware x14 is the thinnest laptop we’ve had on our desks, and it delights in its performance relative to the lower mid-range components under the hood. Of course, Intel’s latest 12th generation processors are helping those RTX 3050 / RTX 3060 graphics cards (as is that DDR5 RAM), but all together these specs are working particularly hard to offer silky smooth framerates in even more demanding titles.

We found that the overall build quality was particularly impressive here, with the x14 shrinking exactly what makes the Alienware x17 feel so solid and premium down into a super flexible form factor. This thing is only 14.4mm thick, and if it weren’t for the glowing RGB alien head on the top panel you’d be forgiven for thinking it was a slick business ultrabook.

The Alienware X14 earns its place on the mid-range shelf but will appeal more to those after a premium feel than those chasing framerates.
Alienware x14 review

In fact, there’s some serious gaming chops under the hood. Of course, we didn’t get numbers to threaten RTX 3070 or RTX 3080-toting machines in our testing, but with the Nvidia optimised Shadow of the Tomb Raider hitting an average of 108fps on Highest settings, there’s plenty we shouldn’t take for granted here. The Alienware x14 did struggle under heavier titles like Red Dead Redemption 2, but we could still draw 55fps in High settings. With a little tweaking, these more humble configurations can easily soar thanks to the engineering under the hood.

During our testing, though, it quickly became obvious that the RTX 3050 / RTX 3050 Ti configurations would offer the best value for money here. We were a little disappointed by the 1080p 144Hz display considering the fact that our test unit was just knocking on the $2,000 price point. By contrast, this is a more than passable screen when placed on a $1,499 RTX 3050 rig. It feels like there’s diminishing returns heading up the price scale here.

Still, if you’re looking for a super slimline, easily portable machine, the Alienware x14 is an excellent premium option. Not only are you getting that backpack-friendly form factor, but the USB-C charging makes it particularly easy to juice up on the go as well.

Reasons to avoid

-A little small-Temperature can climb

Our favorite configuration:

Razer Blade 14 | RTX 3080 | Ryzen 9 5900HX at Razer (opens in new tab)
The Razer Blade 14 really needs a GPU that can put that screen to work. This RTX 3080 configuration comes in around $700 cheaper than the RTX 3080 Ti model, and strikes that perfect balance between power and value for money. In our testing, that RTX 3080 / Ryzen 9 5900HX offered an incredible performance in itself, but if you are interested in pushing this thing to the max, it’s worth noting that the Ti configuration does also come with a 6900HX processor and DDR5 RAM these days.

Firestrike: 21130
Timespy: 9432
PCMark 10: 6792

The Razer Blade 14 sold the idea of smaller, 14-inch gaming powerhouses to us in our testing last year. With some of the most powerful components on the market and an almost impossibly slim form factor, this is a rig to be reckoned with, and the best 14-inch gaming laptop on the market right now. That’s because you’re blending the best of both worlds here, with an AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU playing nicely together to create an incredible final experience.

It’s incredible to think that there’s so much oomph and beastly power in this tiny thing.
Razer Blade 14 review

The 1440p display and RTX 3080 GPU sung in our testing, blowing us away with impressive handling of High and Ultra settings across a range of games. We were especially impressed by just how much power was up for grabs considering the lightweight, slimline chassis.

The 14-inch form factor makes the power on offer all the more impressive, but we did notice ourselves wanting a slightly larger screen during certain moments, and having all that gear packed in did get a little warm at times. Still, we loved the 1440p / 165Hz pairing on the display – this machine doesn’t feel like it would benefit from a costly 300Hz panel and, considering the size, it’s easy to be blown away by the quality overall.

We managed to push Red Dead Redemption 2 to near-consistent 60fps on maximum settings in 1440p resolution – astounding considering the form factor here. While Metro Exodus did present more of a challenge (generally hitting 48fps with RTX Ultra settings), a few tweaks still saw us through to 66fps on High.

All of that means you’ll easily get a better response from the Razer Blade 14 than you would the similarly designed Asus ROG Zephyrus G14. However, this is certainly a model reserved for those willing to pay for that premium quality. If you don’t want to break $2,000 we’d recommend you head a little further down the page.

Our favorite configuration:

Acer Nitro 5 | AMD Ryzen 7 5800H | RTX 3060 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
The Acer Nitro 5 provides plenty of balance in this configuration, and the best part is we often see this model on sale at Amazon as well. Balancing some solid components under the hood, and a 144Hz display up top, there’s some nice horsepower for your cash here. We often see it at between $1,049 and $1,329.

Firestrike: 17,524
Timespy: 7,456

It’s not about to blow anyone away with flashy features or top-tier performance, but the Acer Nitro 5 is a very respectable choice of gaming laptop for the busy gamer who doesn’t want to break the bank. A good full-scale keyboard with numpad makes this laptop appropriate for both work and play. That means it’s a great replacement for a full-tower desktop PC at home that also offers portability thanks to its relatively low weight as gaming laptops go.

All but the most demanding games should run comfortably above 60fps at maximum graphical settings
Acer Nitro 5 review

The RTX 3060 GPU paired with a Ryzen 5800H processor offered up strong performance in our testing, hitting 86fps in High settings on The Division 2, and only dropping to 77fps in Ultra. While the SSD could be a bit speedier, it’s not going to cause any major headaches. Most games will run above 60fps at maximum settings, and ray-tracing is also an option, though it does come with an associated performance hit.

We found the screen to be somewhat dull compared to other laptops in the same price range, and the battery life is decidedly unimpressive, but given the budget cost, these do feel like fair tradeoffs. Especially since the display does retain an excellent 144Hz refresh rate. At $1,129 (with other models varying from $700 to $2,100), the RTX 3060 Nitro 5 manages to pack some impressive components into a budget price tag by dropping nice-to-have features. That makes it perfect for anyone after raw power without all the fancy extras that can sometimes bloat gaming laptop costs.

How we test gaming laptops

Every gaming laptop that we review is stress-tested against a series of benchmarking processes and everyday use. We run a standardised series of performance tests on each rig, benchmarking on both High and Ultra / Highest across:

Shadow of the Tomb Raider
Total War: Three Kingdoms (Battle)
Metro Exodus
The Division 2
Red Dead Redemption 2

We carry out these benchmarks at both 1080p and other native resolutions offered by each individual system.

We then test gaming laptops against 3DMark Firestrike and Firestrike Extreme (for 1440p rigs), using Firestrike Ultra for our 4K machines. We also use PC Mark 10 tests (including battery performance), as well as Sky Diver, Cinebench, and Crystal Disk Mark.

Of course, we also live with these machines. We find the best gaming laptops by playing, binge-watching, and working with them for as long as we can, using them as we would our own machines (while pushing them a little further for the sake of science).

Read more about how we find the best tech with our full Hardware Policy and find out exactly how we test gaming laptops.

How to find the best gaming laptop for you

Not sure what screen size you’d ideally want and what minimum spec you’d ultimately like to get in your search for the best gaming laptop? If you need help working that out, we’re here to help.

In our opinion, the key is to opt for something with a balance between performance, budget, and components – you want something that will play your favorite games now, but still have enough bandwidth to help you find a new favorite in the future.

So what’s your first step when you start browsing for the best gaming laptop? You can start by having a budget or total price ceiling in mind, but generally (and somewhat predictably), you’ll want to prioritize the hardware in the machine. As you’ve made it to this page, you’re looking for a gaming-focused portable powerhouse and, as a result, want to aim high in the graphics card department, like a GPU from the RTX family of cards from Nvidia.

This can be an excellent starting point to refine your search – but don’t forget to look at laptops with a 16-series card in too as they offer incredible value when complemented by other, well-balanced components. A quick note on components: availability, as everyone knows, has been incredibly unreliable and volatile in recent months. As a result, it might be that when you visit retailers or makers of these machines, only some configurations are available at the time.

If you’re unsure of which components you need, it’s wise to consider the CPUs and GPUs on offer in tiers. If you only play lighter games that aren’t too demanding, you might fall into the entry level tier, if you’re looking to hit High settings with a few tweaks and still hit 60fps, it’s worth looking in the mid-range. However, if you’re going all-in on Ultra settings for the most demanding titles, the best gaming laptop for you might be a more premium option.

]]> RTX 3050 laptop deals can save you some serious cash on starter rigs right now, and not only are there some excellent prices up for grabs this week, but we’re also starting to see Intel’s 12th generation processors coming into play as well. We often see cheaper rigs going for as little as $700 these days, which means those on the hunt for a starter model should absolutely be taking advantage of the latest price drops. With so many different models on the shelves – each offering a slightly different value proposition – it can be difficult to work out where to start.

That’s where we come in. We’ve been tracking gaming laptop deals for years now, so we know a good price when we see one. You’ll find all our top picks for the best RTX 3050 laptop deals just below, and we keep this page well stocked with new models every week. It’s important to note that picking up an RTX 3050 laptop means you won’t exactly be getting the best gaming laptop configuration on the market. This is Nvidia’s entry level card, so you won’t be getting the best possible visuals out of your games.

However, RTX 3080 laptops and RTX 3070 laptops can run up quite a bill, so if you’re happy with dropping your fps a little, you can find some excellent value a little further down the price bracket. Plus, you’re still picking up the latest generation here, so you’re future proofed for updates to come.

]]> Alienware gaming laptop deals are some of the most sought-after discounts on the web. These are premium machines, so they don’t often take too many hefty price cuts. However, the Alienware x15 line is offering some excellent value at Dell right now – with up to $1,050 off.

Our top pick is this $1,699.99 (was $2,749.99) (opens in new tab) RTX 3070 rig. With an i7-11800H processor, 16GB RAM, and a 512GB SSD you’re getting a stacked configuration inside one of the best gaming laptops on the market right now. That’s stunning value – especially considering it’s just $100 more than our second pick.

If you’re after something a little cheaper, Dell’s gaming laptop deals also have a $1,599.99 price tag (opens in new tab) on the RTX 3060 configuration (which was $2,299.99). It’s still a solid $700 discount on a high-end machine in isolation, but unless you’re really looking for the lowest price possible, we’d point you towards the RTX 3070 model.

That $100 difference is giving you plenty more graphical juice, even if the rest of the components are the same. We don’t tend to see offers with this kind of value too often.

You’ll find both of these offers just below, but we’re rounding up plenty more cheap gaming laptop deals further down the page as well. You’re certainly browsing at the right time with Prime Day gaming laptop deals just around the corner.

]]> The best Razer laptops can offer up an extensive supply of features and some seriously monstrous power – all in a sleek matte form factor that looks great on any desk. There’s a catch, though. These are particularly pricey machines, with new releases often running past the $3,000 figure for top configurations. However, if you’re looking to invest in a high quality rig that will see you through years of work and play (and look good doing so), it’s well worth splashing some cash on a premium device.

Razer laptops sit among the best gaming laptops on the market, and for good reason. The Blade 15 is, after all, widely considered the first gaming laptop to hit the shelves ever. There’s some serious pedigree in here, and today that manifests itself in efficient engineering, high quality displays, and the chassis design to keep everything cool and collected while running.

Now that the best Razer laptops are offering Intel, AMD and Nvidia’s latest mobile processors and graphics cards, 2022’s offerings are even more powerful than their predecessors. While it’s still early days for these recent releases, those prices are looking particularly hefty. If you’re after a cheap Razer laptop, therefore, we’d recommend checking out older models (2020 and 2021’s offerings in particular).

We’ve rounded up all our favorite Razer gaming laptops right here, after weeks of testing across both work and play.

1. Razer Blade 15 (2022)

The best Razer laptop

Specifications

Reasons to buy

+Cutting edge components+Excellent color and contrast+Luxury design with solid build quality

Reasons to avoid

-Proprietary charging connection

The 2022 Razer Blade 15 lives up to the name of its ancestors; providing cutting edge components in a super portable chassis – and looking particularly good while doing it. This certainly isn’t your everyman Razer laptop. With a top price tag reaching $4,000 and some seriously premium gear under the hood, the Razer Blade 15 will appeal to enthusiasts far more than the everyday player. However, if you’re looking to invest in a machine that can sink its teeth into some serious PC gaming, this is the model for you.

That 4K 144Hz display is certainly an outlier even in this high-end market, and the overall build quality and design can’t be argued with either.
Razer Blade 15 review

We were incredibly impressed to see Shadow of the Tomb Raider flying at well over 60fps in 4K on our RTX 3080 Ti / i9-12900H testing unit, though of course more demanding games did struggle to break past 45fps in High settings. Still, fiddling with some of the more tasking visual effects did bring us closer to buttery smooth 4K gameplay than we’ve seen on similar models. It’s easy to wax lyrical about the performance under the hood when you’re spending $4,000 on Nvidia and Intel’s bleeding edge components, though. Perhaps even more impressive is the classically slimline chassis housing them all.

Razer didn’t need to add to the Blade 15’s footprint to get all this gear under the keyboard. In fact, with additional ventilation in place, this slimline rig still manages to offer up a comfortable, portable experience – even with all that power at your fingertips. That’s why this is the best Razer laptop currently available; it marries the power of a far chunkier rig with that suave design language that so many have fallen in love with over the years.

Still, if you’re not looking for a long-term investment, the Razer Blade 15 isn’t for you. In fact, with a lofty $2,000+ price tag even on an RTX 3060 rig, there will be very few everyday players who will be able to draw the value they need from their cash here. The Razer Blade 14 does make a far easier case for its MSRP, offering up a smaller starting price that will appeal to far more players, even if it’s not technically the top dog.

2. Razer Blade 14 (2021)

The best Razer laptop for most

Specifications

CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900HXGraphics: up to Nvidia RTX 3080RAM: up to 16GBStorage: up to 1TB SSDScreen: FHD at 144Hz | QHD at 165Hz

Reasons to buy

+Excellent build quality +AMD configurations+Compact form factor

Reasons to avoid

-Hotter due to small form factor-Smaller display

The Razer Blade 14 is one of the top gaming laptop options out there, let alone in Razer’s own category. Hitting the market just before the slimline design revolution took over, we found that the smaller form factor made this machine an excellent everyday workhorse, while always offering some excellent gaming performance in its back pocket. We were impressed by the high-end configurations on offer here – packing an RTX 3080 GPU and a Ryzen 9 5900HX processor into this chassis is no mean feat.

It’s incredible to think that there’s so much oomph and beastly power in this tiny thing.
Razer Blade 14 review

While we did find that some of that horsepower felt a little wasted on the smaller 14-inch screen, and the heat produced was considerable, being able to transport this level of gaming prowess this easily was always exciting. We were hitting 71 fps on The Division 2 at high settings, and 85fps in Shadow of the Tomb Raider to boot. Very few gaming laptops can boast that kind of power in this form factor.

The matte-black aesthetic keeps things subtle, all belying the incredible performance under the hood. Sure, the Blade 15 and Blade 17 are more instantly recognizable as gaming-specific machines, and will offer slightly better performance thanks to the extra space for cooling.

However, Razer gaming laptops are all about that ease of use. In the same way that the MacBook previously dominated over clunkier, but (before M1) arguably more powerful, PCs, Razer puts its experience at the forefront, and in all the brand’s rigs we’ve tested, the Blade 14 represents this design ethos the best.

3. Razer Blade Pro 17 (2021)

The best Razer laptop for big screen viewing

Specifications

CPU: up to Intel 11th-genGraphics: up to Nvidia RTX 3080RAM: up to 32GBStorage: up to 1TB SSDScreen: 17.3” (1920×1080 – 4K-touch)

Reasons to buy

+Spectacular display+Powered by the latest components+Same great design and build+Slimline form factor

Reasons to avoid

-Very expensive-4K 60fps is still a pipe dream-Proprietary power source

We would recommend the Razer Blade Pro 17 to anyone who wants the absolute best from their portable hardware, and doesn’t mind foregoing the backpack. The Pro combines the latest in the component department with options on graphics cards going right up to the latest Nvidia RTX 3080, and the newest Intel processors, with a superb 4K touch screen, or 360Hz 1080p screen, to create an absolute beast of a gaming laptop.

Despite being the larger 17.3-inch screen variant of the blade family, it’s still got that (relatively) slim and light build which is an impressive feat.
Razer Blade Pro 17 review

In our testing, we found the slimline build to limit some of the back-breaking weight of the standard 17-inch laptop. Brands are quickly slimming even their largest machines down these days, but the matte black finish and slim-bezel design on the Blade makes it feel like it has a slightly smaller footprint than something like the Alienware X17. We were, however, concerned to find a proprietary power source on the 2021 model – something that always feel like a risk.

It also features one of the best keyboards to be found in gaming laptops – we found it exceedingly comfortable, and – even better – it looks fantastic as well. Razer’s use of proprietary ultra-low-profile mechanical switches is much appreciated, giving us a taste of snappy, responsive keystrokes that are difficult to find in other models.

If you’re after the biggest and best Razer laptop where budget is no constraint, then this is it. It’s a beautiful, incredibly powerful piece of portable computing that could easily replace your desktop as your go-to PC for gaming and more mundane applications.

4. Razer Blade Stealth 13 (2021)

The best Razer laptop for ultra-portability

Specifications

CPU: Intel Core i7 11th-genGraphics: Intel Iris Xe – Nvidia GeForce 1650TiRAM: up to 16GBStorage: up to 512GB SSDScreen: 13.3″ (1920×1080 – 4K touch)

Reasons to buy

+Incredibly light and portable+Still offers Intel 11th generation processors

Reasons to avoid

-A little outdated graphically

Because it doubles down on Razer’s biggest strength – industrial design – the Blade Stealth 13 forgoes a lot of the usual spec bumps in favor of implementing a plethora of seemingly minuscule tweaks to its appearance. For example, the new 4.9mm ‘Micro Edge’ bezels are 60% narrower than that of its predecessor, thereby blessing the low-profile laptop with borders around the display that make it look as contemporary as it is. Zooming out, the chassis at large is constructed using a high-grade aluminum material carved out from a single block of metal, making it all the more durable as a result.

Although the base model is still limited to on-chip Intel graphics, two higher-priced tiers now exist sporting Nvidia GPUs. You might not find an RTX card here but you can still hook the Blade Stealth up to a Razer Core external fun box if you can’t live without the retina-burning sensation of 4K graphics being ray traced in real-time.

How we test gaming laptops

We review a massive number of gaming laptops, so trimming that list down to the best Razer models requires standardized tests and plenty of play time. We follow the same steps to ascertain where a PC sits on the market every time, in an approach that combines industry standard GPU, CPU, and SSD tests with real-world game performance and everyday usability.

We use 3D Mark, Cinebench, PC Mark 10, and Crystal Disk Mark to give us some baseline benchmarks on core performance. Then, we run a series of framerate tests on Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Total War: Three Kingdoms, Metro Exodus, The Division 2, and Red Dead Redemption 2 to determine how that performance manifests in actual gameplay.

Of course, we also live with these devices so we’re playing all the hottest games on each gaming laptop we test and checking how well they slot into our setups, everyday work life, and portability needs as well.

You can find more information on how we review the products we recommend in our full Hardware Policy, and we’re also showing you exactly how we test gaming laptops for more details as well.

Razer laptops aren’t the only thing the gaming tech behemoth is known internationally for though, of course.

]]> Dell’s Memorial Day sales are celebrating summer this year, and what better way to see in the sun than by sitting inside on your brand new laptop (or gaming PC). We regularly see some excellent prices across standard laptops, high-end gaming laptops, and graphics-busting desktop towers during seasonal sales events at Dell, and this year’s early offers certainly don’t disappoint.

You’ll find entry-level Dell Inspiron 15 3000 laptops starting at just $229.99 (opens in new tab) right now (was $299.99), though the XPS 13 is also getting involved, with a base configuration taking a $570 discount to $899.99 (opens in new tab). However, Dell’s Memorial Day sales are also hitting gaming laptops, with the G15 sporting an RTX 3050 GPU at a super low price of just $699.99 (was $1,029) (opens in new tab).

Of course, what would Memorial Day sales be without Alienware? Dell’s gaming flagship is taking some serious price drops on powerful rigs right now, with the RTX 3060 Alienware M15 R6 dipping to just $1,099.99 (was $1,549.99) (opens in new tab) and the RTX 3080 Alienware Aurora R10 gaming PC hitting $1,799.99 (opens in new tab) for a full $720 off the final price.

You’ll find all our top picks from the early Dell Memorial Day sales just below, and plenty more cheap gaming laptop deals further down the page as well.

Save $350 – There’s a $250 discount on this Gigabyte G5 gaming laptop already live, but you can save an additional $100 in the form of a $100 rebate as well. That’s excellent value for an RTX 3050Ti GPU with an unusual 16GB RAM (we usually only see 8GB at this price point) and a 512GB SSD.

Gigabyte G5 15.6-inch RTX 3060 gaming laptop | ~~$1,199~~ $999 (with $50 rebate) at Newegg (opens in new tab)
Save $200 – There’s an RTX 3060 GPU hiding away in this sub-$1,000 gaming laptop deal at Newegg right now. That’s excellent value considering you’re also getting 16GB RAM and a 512GB SSD to make the most of that mid-range graphics card.

Alienware m15 R5 Ryzen | ~~$1,380~~ $999.99 at Dell (opens in new tab)
Save $380 – It may not be one of the cheapest RTX 3050 Ti laptops around, but you’re benefitting from the brand’s premium build quality and the stellar refresh rate here. Features: AMD Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050 Ti, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 15.6-inch 165Hz Full HD screen.

Asus ROG Strix G15 15.6-inch RTX 3060 gaming laptop | ~~$1,299.99~~ $1,249.99 at Newegg (opens in new tab)
Save $50 – You’re only saving $50 here, but this Asus ROG Strix was already particularly well priced at $1,299.99. That means any discounts in this year’s Black Friday gaming laptop deals are going to go down well, especially when the configuration in question packs a Ryzen 7 processor, 16GB RAM, and 512GB SSD.

Gigabyte A5 X1 15.6-inch RTX 3070 gaming laptop | Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy | ~~$1,799~~ $1,599 at Newegg (opens in new tab)
Save $200 – With a powerful Ryzen 9 processor and RTX 3070 graphics card, you’ll find excellent performance for your cash here. Newegg is offering $200 off this Gigabyte A5 X1 machine, but even though that’s a smaller saving, a $1,599 price point is fantastic value.

That means you’re paying just $1,799 for an RTX 3080 machine. We certainly don’t see that every day, especially with an i7-11800H processor, 16GB RAM, and 1TB SSD packed inside as well.

Best Black Friday gaming laptop deals in the UK

Black Friday gaming laptop deals – FAQ

Black Friday gaming laptop deals – what to expect

While cheaper machines like the Acer Nitro 5 and Asus TUF Dash F15 will likely offer strong value for money in this year’s Black Friday gaming laptop deals, those after High or Ultra settings should aim for more premium machines. Razer laptops and Alienware laptops sit at the upper end of the scale and this often prices them out of the market for many, but Black Friday gaming laptop deals bring those costs crashing down to a more reasonable level.

Last year, we saw $330 off the Alienware M15 R3, down to $1,518.99 at Dell and you could pick up an MSI GL65 Leopard with an i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and an RTX 2070 Super for $1,669 at Newegg.

Thanks to the addition of this year’s RTX 3060 laptops, RTX 3070 laptops, and RTX 3080 laptops, older versions of high-end gaming setups should also tumble to lower prices as retailers try to shift out-of-date stock. These devices are still monsters in terms of raw power, so being able to get them for less as part of 2021’s Black Friday gaming laptop deals is a bargain not to pass up.

Speaking of those 30-series devices, they’re going to be red-hot items if they get a discount this November. As the most powerful laptops around, they’re generating plenty of buzz and will be piled upon with wild abandon if they drop in price – even just a little.

We’re looking specifically to the Razer Blade 14, Alienware M15 R5/6, and the Asus Zephyrus G14 for some of the highest value savings in this premium category. The latter two are well versed for discounts and will likely sit between $999 and $1,799 for a mid-range spec on the day itself. However, the Razer Blade 14 hasn’t seen to much price cutting action this year, but has been on the shelves for a considerable amount of time now.

If, however, you’re looking to spend a little less we do expect some of the most valuable Black Friday gaming laptop deals to sit in the cheaper seats. Picking up an Asus TUF Dash F15 with an RTX 3060 or 3070 graphics card won’t break the bank (compared to other rigs), and will likely be the easiest way to grab a steal this year. We’re expecting prices on this kind of configuration to settle between $899 and $1,099.

Should you buy a gaming laptop before Black Friday?

With so many retailers launching early Black Friday gaming laptop deals it can be tempting to jump in ahead of the crowd. If you’re after a new rig sooner rather than later, the prices we’re seeing on the shelves right now could warrant some early picks. We don’t know what will happen to stock levels over the next couple of weeks, and getting shipping in time for the holidays may be a factor of concern as well.

However, while we’re already seeing some excellent early Black Friday gaming laptop deals, those who truly want the best prices possible (and are willing to fight for them) would do best to wait until the full sale kicks off. We’d recommend holding off until at least the start of Thanksgiving week here, though flash sales on the big day itself are where we usually see the blockbuster discounts. You’ll just have to be ready and waiting when they kick off, as some of the most valuable Black Friday gaming laptop deals can fly off the shelves.

Today’s best gaming laptop deals

If you’d rather get a new setup sooner than later, the deals below should put you on the right track. We’ve included the best options available right now across a range of models and power-levels, so have a quick look if you want some inspiration on where to start in your search for a good gaming laptop.

]]> Black Friday gaming laptop deals at Amazon have seen the Acer Nitro 5 RTX 3050 laptop plummet to its historic lowest ever price today. This model is available right now for only $684.99 (discounted from $840) (opens in new tab) making it one of the most aggressively priced RTX 30 series laptops that we’ve come across all year.

We rarely ever see RTX 3050 gaming laptop deals selling for under the $700 mark, this price point is normally reserved for weaker Nvidia GPU models such as the GTX 1650 and GTX 1660. Also of note, you’re getting not only a 144Hz refresh rate screen here, but you’re benefitting from IPS technology meaning that you’re getting far superior picture quality to typical VA displays that are normally featured at the budget end of the spectrum.

You’ll find this offer outlined below, as well as plenty more Black Friday gaming laptop deals further down the page. If you’re interested in more powerful Nvidia graphics cards used in prebuilt configurations, then be sure to check in with the Black Friday gaming PC deals for some of the lowest rates of the year on the latest hardware, too.

Acer Nitro 5 (RTX 3050) | ~~$840~~ $684.99 at Amazon (opens in new tab)
Save $155 – It’s the lowest ever historic price on the Acer Nitro 5 of this configuration, and an overall incredible value given what you’re getting for your money. The GPU inside is more than capable for most games, especially through DLSS. Features: Intel Core i5-10300H, RTX 3050, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, 15.6-inch 144Hz IPS screen.
