On an equally impressive gaming laptop, this is an impressive savings.

Razer is the king who puts RGB in front of everything, which makes its restraint on laptops even more impressive. In fact, this Razer Blade 15 Advanced is a serious laptop game, but the fact that it will not light up like a crazy Christmas tree the moment you open it is even more surprising. Razer, we thank you for your restraint.

We are also grateful for the huge savings on a powerful laptop, which is exactly what we got in the Black Friday offer in the Microsoft store. Microsoft offers a $850 discount for the normal asking price of this laptop, which is a particularly good deal for anyone in the market to get some real gaming performance.

For only $1,799.99, you can get one of the best mobile GPUs, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070. When paired with a 1080p screen, this is definitely a beast. In this case, it means you have the opportunity to take full advantage of the panel’s 360Hz refresh rate. This is where all settings are as high as possible.

Razer Blade 15 Advanced | NVIDIA RTX 3070 | Intel Core i7 10875H | 360Hz 1080p | 16GB RAM | 1TB Solid State Drive | US$2,599.99, Microsoft US$1,799.99 (save US$800) This greatly saves the main part of the game real estate, the packaging comes from Intel and Nvidia High-quality hardware to ensure that it destroys your game. The RTX 3070 is an excellent choice for this thin and light chassis because it can eliminate the killer frame rate and make full use of the 360Hz display for a buttery smooth experience. Save a lot on a great laptop.

Razer has paired this powerful GPU with Intel's 10th generation Core i7 10875H. This is an eight-core 16-thread beast, although it is nominally running at 2.3GHz, it can still reach 5.1GHz. In practice, the chip is closer to a high Turbo frequency than a normal clock, but it really depends on what you are doing. The key point is that although it has a history of a generation, it is still a powerful CPU, and it will certainly not hinder your game.

The rest of the specifications are healthy for modern game consoles, with 16GB DDR4-3200 RAM and high-speed 1TB SSD as standard. All of this is packed into a pleasantly thin case, which completely hides the fact that this is a game console in the first place.

The only downside of a thin case is that the powerful cooling space is limited, which means that when you push it hard, things get a little hotter. When you are really bumping, your temperature may exceed 194°F, so this is worth remembering-especially if you are the type of person playing games directly on your lap. Basically, you want to use it on the table.

Overall, this is an incredible deal for a great laptop. If you buy a gaming laptop on the market that can last for many years, congratulations, you just found it. Or, check out our Black Friday gaming laptop deals.

Before the advent of 3D graphics cards, Alan had been writing articles about PC technology, and still vividly recalled having to fight MS-DOS in order to load games. He fondly remembers the killer combination of Matrox Millenium and 3dfx Voodoo, and the first time he saw Lara Croft in 3D. He is very happy that the hardware has made such great progress, and he is particularly happy to get the latest M.2 NVMe SSD, AMD processors and laptops on track. He has a lasting magic: the obsession of partying, but now it is limited to the Magic Arena.
