The Razer Blade 14 is one of the latest models from the premium gaming brand and one that we highly recommend here at TechRadar. We absolutely loved this one when we reviewed it, and, while its price makes it a hard sell for those on a budget, today's massive discount at Razer goes a long way in offsetting our biggest complaint with this machine.

For context, today's $1,000-off deal brings it in line with what you'd expect to pay with RTX 3080 gaming laptop deals from other brands so this particular listing is arguably good value.... for a Razer machine at least.

For those who don't know, Razer gaming laptops feature an absolutely gorgeous all-aluminum uni-body chassis that's more akin to a high-end MacBook than a gaming laptop. Pair that up with a fantastic display (165Hz, 1440p) and the combination of an RTX 3080, 16GB of RAM, a Ryzen 9 CPU, and a 1TB SSD and you've got a machine that not only looks great but has plenty of power to run modern titles.

Now, before we get carried away, know that there are a few drawbacks with this machine that are worth knowing before you commit. First up, this particular listing is on an older machine now and will likely be replaced with a new model carrying an RTX 4000 series card at some point this year. It's also carrying an older kit of DDR4 RAM that can't be upgraded since they're soldered in - a minor quibble but one worth knowing if you're dead-set on bagging the latest machine.
