An absolutely intense machine here with one of the best discounts we've seen. We're in love with the Blade in general, though not quite as powerful as it could be with its RTX 3070 Ti, it does have an excellent processor in the 6900HX.

Cyber Monday is here, and while that means some of the gaming laptop deals we've found over Black Friday have expired, there are still plenty more to report back to you.
Take, for example, the Razer Blade 14, AKA "the most desirable gaming laptop", which is $1,999.99 at Best Buy. Price-wise, that puts it in even closer competition with our favorite gaming laptop, the Razer Blade 15. You lose an inch but gain a superbly designed laptop that makes up for its slightly lacking specs.
The Razer Blade 14 should be paired with an Nvidia RTX 3060, as our own Dave James describes in his review, not the RTX 3070 Ti that comes with this deal. That said, it's a nice improvement, and not as bad as an RTX 3080 would be in terms of thermal throttling. You'll still lose a little performance when things start heating up, but at this big of a discount, Razer's ultrabook-like gaming laptop is currently the best deal out there.
This model has an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX processor, 16GB of memory, and a 1TB SSD. The 165Hz 1440p display that comes with the RTX 3070 Ti Razer Blade 14 will skew some of its performance compared to our 1080p tests. At 1080p, with games on basically max quality settings, it could hit a strong 60 to 144 fps. At a slightly higher resolution, you will probably have to fiddle with quality settings and listen to its fans as they try to keep up with the increased demand.
That by no means kills the deal though. The Razer Blade's 14-inch screen hits a sweet spot for 1440p. The screen is small enough for the pixel density to look sharp without the performance impact of a 4K screen. And it surely helps maintain its 90-minute battery life, which isn't particularly more impressive than similarly equipped laptops, but it's not abysmal either.
The Razer Blade 14, especially at this price, gives you both the ability to play a variety of games and have a laptop that mirrors the sleek aesthetic strengths of a Macbook. You rarely get that in gaming laptops, a product category that is inundated with segmented, plastic designs. At MSRP, you pay the premium for the aesthetic, but now you can pick this up at a price that better fits the actual hardware inside of it.
