Amazon is now offering the 2022 Razer Blade 17 i7/16GB/1TB/RTX 3070 Ti Gaming Laptop for $2,559.99 shipped. Normally going for $2,900 in recent months, this 12% discount or solid $340 price drop marks a new all-time low price we’ve tracked for this build, beating our last low mention by $114. Running the now previous-generation 12th Gen Intel i7-12800H processor and an RTX 3070 Ti, the 2022 Razer Blade 17 will see full utilization of its 1080p 360Hz display. Vapor chamber cooling is used to get as much performance out of the hardware as possible in a relatively thin device. The keyboard features per-key Razer Chroma RGB lighting that can be customized through the Razer Synapse. You’ll also find support for Wi-Fi 6E so you can take advantage of the new 6GHz band for even faster wireless internet. In terms of I/O, you’re looking at a built-in HDMI 2.1 port, two USB-C ports with Thunderbolt 4 and charging handled over one Type-C, and three USB-A ports.

On a tighter budget? Check out the Acer Nitro 5 i7/8GB/512GB/RTX 3050 Ti Gaming Laptop for $740 instead. Here you’ll be using the 11th gen Intel i7 processor with RTX 3050 Ti graphics, which is a step down from the 3070 Ti present with the Razer option above. The screen is about the same at 15.6 inches but is a step down to 1080p 144Hz resolution and refresh rate. The total amount of RAM available here is also cut in half to 8GB though that is still plenty for most modern games to run well. Wi-Fi 6 support is also present here. One unique feature of the Nitro 5 that isn’t in many laptops is the Alexa Show Mode which allows you to use the machine as a Show-like device when you’re not busy playing games.
