If you’re looking for a gaming laptop to act as a desktop replacement, purchasing an 18-inch machine would be a smart choice. As you’d expect, these behemoths can be very expensive given their size and that they tend to pack high-end components. Thankfully, I just found an incredible deal you don’t want to miss out on.
Currently, Razer is offering the new Razer Blade 18 for up to $700 off. The biggest price cut is for the model with an RTX 5090, though that machine still costs $4,199 after the discount. If that’s too much, you can opt for a configuration with an RTX 5070 Ti GPU for $ 2,499, which is $500 off. Razer has also discounted the Razer Blade 18 with RTX 5080 by $600.
Regardless of which Razer Blade 18 you opt for, you’re going to have a great time playing some of the best PC games. Let’s detail what you’re getting from this monstrous 18-inch gaming laptop.
As its name suggests, the Razer Blade 18 is an 18-inch gaming laptop. While its size can undermine its portability, the large display, numerous ports and huge keyboard deck help balance things out. Even if you don’t want to take it on the road, you’re getting a laptop that can legitimately serve as a desktop replacement.
The 18-inch display is impressive on its own, but it takes things further by offering two display modes, or dual-mode. You can play games at 4K resolution and 240Hz or 1080p at 440Hz. The former is best for cinematic games like Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, while the latter is suited for fast-paced competitive games like CS: GO 2. This is the first 18-inch gaming laptop to offer dual-mode, so that’s definitely a selling point.
Thanks to Nvidia’s RTX 50-series GPUs, these laptops can deliver stellar graphics at blisteringly fast frame rates. The Razer Blade 18 with an RTX 5070 Ti might not be as powerful as models with RTX 5080 and RTX 5090, but if you enable the frame-boosting DLSS 4 in games that support the feature, you can still enjoy sharp graphics and smooth frame rates.
Razer Blade laptops rank among the best gaming laptops, so you’ll do well with any of the configurations mentioned above. I guarantee you’ll have a great time playing the best PC games on whichever discounted machine you get. For more deals, check out our guide to the best back to school laptop sales.
