Update July 22 at 4:13 p.m. ET: This deal sold out. However, Amazon has the Intel i7-charged Razer Blade 15 with RTX 4070 GPU on sale for $1,799 ($1,000 off). Even better, it includes a full game download of Black Myth: Wukong (valued at $60).

Amazon Prime Day has come and gone, and it's a truly rare moment when I come face-to-face with a deal and can wholeheartedly say that it impresses me. In the case of the Razer Blade 14, the praises I sing for it come from the heart.

Yes, the Razer Blade 14 is a laptop that I reviewed last year and I proudly called it "the best gaming laptop you can buy." While that statement is time-sensitive and changes as hardware gets better, my opinion still stands strong: The Razer Blade 14 is my favorite gaming laptop ever, and the discount we're seeing for it makes it more than worth your money.

The Razer Blade 14 is available for $1,699 at Best Buy, knocking a whole $1,000 off of its original price point. To be clear, that is an actual discount. Prime Day buyers can sometimes worry that the deals they're seeing aren't real, but as someone who tested the Razer Blade 14 when it launched last year, it was $2,699 back then and stayed that way for a long time. This is a phenomenal deal and we cannot sing its praises enough.

Reviews consensus: In my Razer Blade 14 review, I gave it a fantastic 4.5 out of 5-star rating and called it the best gaming laptop you can buy right now. It has powerful gaming and productivity performance, a gorgeously vivid and bright display, a sturdy aluminum chassis, punchy audio and excellent battery life.

Laptop Mag: ★★★★½

Buy it if: You want more than just a powerful GPU on your next gaming laptop. The Razer Blade 14 is a jack-of-all-trades, delivering an awesome display, powerful processor performance, long-lasting battery life, a sturdy aluminum shell, and solid speakers.

Don't buy it if: You just want a powerful RTX 4070 gaming laptop and don't care for greatness in its other elements. You have to pay for quality, and the truth is that you can find cheaper RTX 4070 laptops thanks to their worse displays, designs, and battery life. If that seems right for you, go for it.
