The Razer Blade 16 with the Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 graphics card is one of the most powerful gaming laptops in the market right now, so while its original price of $4,300 is pretty expensive, it falls within expectations. You can enjoy savings when buying the machine though, as Razer is offering a $400 discount that lowers its price to $3,900. It’s still not cheap, but if you can afford it, you’ll quickly understand why it’s worth every single penny. Buy the gaming laptop now as its price may be back to normal as soon as tomorrow.

If you’ve been playing PC games for a number of years, you’ve probably heard the term ‘VSync’ tossed around once or twice. Maybe you’ve also heard of G-Sync and FreeSync. For those unaware, VSync is actually short for ‘vertical synchronization’. This is a display feature that is designed to keep your gaming screen running in sync with your computer’s GPU. VSync isn’t just important for PC gaming, but it’s one of the most important criteria that goes into a good gaming display.

Generative AI is one of the biggest debates raging across not just video games, but art and culture as a whole at the moment. Into that debate has waded the CEO of graphics card giants Nvidia to drop a prediction that can only be described as searingly flammable: we’ll see games where everything seen on-screen is fully generated by AI, in real-time, within the next 10 years.

If you want a large screen to accompany your gaming laptop, look no further than the Razer Blade 17. It’s an even more attractive purchase right now because it’s 47% off from Razer, which slashes its price to just $1,800 from its original price of $3,400. The $1,600 in savings is among the biggest that you can get from today’s gaming laptop deals, so if you’re interested, it’s highly recommended that you complete the transaction as soon as possible because there’s no telling when stocks of the device will run out.

Not all gaming laptop deals are worth your time and money, and even less will be powerful enough to meet gamers’ needs for the next few years. If you’re willing to make a serious investment, you should check out Dell’s offer for the Alienware x14 R2 gaming laptop. From its original price of $2,000, a $500 discount brings it down to $1,500. It’s still not cheap, but it’s actually a reasonable price for a machine of this caliber. You need to hurry with your purchase if you want the savings though, as its price may be back to normal as soon as tomorrow.
