Arguably, that cheaper option sounds a bit better to us, as the high-end one can get a little pricey and close in on the expensive but excellent Razer Blade 14. We checked out the version with AMD's RX 6800S under the hood, though there is an option for an RX 6700S, for a chunk less cash. Seriously, this thing shreds through frames up to its 120Hz refresh rate, and it's great for much more than gaming, too. The new version of the Zephyrus G impresses us once again with its well-balanced specs list and excellent gaming performance.

Read our full Razer Blade 15 Advanced Edition (2020) review. Whatever config you pick, we think the Razer Blade 15 is the overall best gaming laptop on the market right now, though you will be paying a premium for the now-classic design. It's one of the most beautiful gaming laptops around and still one of the most powerful. One of the best things about the Blade 15 is the number of configurations Razer offers. From the RTX 3060 Base Edition to the RTX 3080 Ti Advanced with a 144Hz 4K panel, there's something for almost everyone. The trackpad can be frustrating at times, but you're going to want to use a mouse with this gorgeous machine anyway, so it's not the end of the world.
Typing feels great, and I've always liked the feel of the Blade's keycaps. The Blade 15 Advanced offers per-key RGB lighting over the Base Model's zonal lighting.
Keyboard snobs will be happy to see a larger shift and half-height arrow keys. or if you don't have the real estate for a full-blown gaming desktop and monitor. An excellent choice for the gamer on the go. It also means the Blade 15 travels well in your backpack. The Blade 15 isn't the lightest gaming laptop you can buy, but five pounds is still way better than plenty of traditional gaming laptops, while also offering similar performance and specs. That said, you will get some throttling because of that slimline design, and even on the larger Blade 17 the battery life can be a little slim, but you're still getting outstanding performance from a beautiful machine.
We've also since then tried out the larger Razer Blade 17 with an RTX 3080 Ti humming away inside it, alongside one of those tasty 12th Gen chips and still stand bewildered by what will fit inside such a compact and neat chassis. We've played with the Razer Blade 15 Advanced with a 10th Gen Intel chip and RTX 3080 (95W) GPU inside it. It has the same gorgeous CNC-milled aluminum chassis as its predecessor, only this time it can house one of Nvidia's latest RTX 30-series GPUs and an Intel 12th Gen Core i9 CPU. The latest spin of the Razer Blade 15 once again improves on one of the best gaming laptops ever made.
#PCMAG LAPTOP REVIEW UPDATE#
Whatever you're in the market for-whether high-end RTX 3080 Ti-powered powerhouse or portable slim device-there should be a laptop that's right for you here, and we'll continue to update this guide with the latest models as they're pushed out.
Of the hundreds of gaming laptops we're tested over the years, here are those that offer the best balance of performance, portability, and price. This does mean manufacturers have turned their focus toward high-end offerings, however, meaning midrange and budget configs are a little rarer. While bagging a new graphics card for your desktop rig has been a pain recently (though the crisis is easing), gaming laptops mostly sidestepped chip shortage. Gaming laptops with mechanical keyboards even exist, like the Asus ROG Strix Scar 15. You can even find heaps of RAM and super-high refresh screens under the hood. We're talking multicore CPUs, high-end GPUs, and speedy NVMe SSDs. The newest gaming laptops are getting more portable, and yet still sport all the fancy features that high-end gaming PCs do.
