I'm a little obsessed with the Razer Blade laptops and these latest Prime Day gaming deals are painfully tempting

Razer Blade 15 | RTX 4070 | Core i7 13800H | 15-inch | 1440p | 240 Hz | 16 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | $2,799.99$1,599.99 at Amazon (save $1,200)
This is the cheapest we've seen an RTX 4070 Blade 15 going for in… maybe ever? I can't find any evidence to suggest this modern spec has been any cheaper, anyways. You're still paying a premium for the Razer badge, but the company does make a mean laptop with an all-metal chassis and excellent performance.

In my mind Razer has committed a sin. It's nothing to do with the outrageously high price premium it's always slapped on its gorgeous gaming laptops, and everything to do with the fact that it has seemingly discontinued the Blade 15. For so long it was hands-down the best gaming laptop; a machine that perfectly channelled the gaming MacBook aesthetic Razer's long been chasing.

It's a slim, great-looking, beautifully built machine, that is also able to deliver impressive gaming performance to boot. And right now it's at the cheapest price I've ever seen the Blade 15 going for at $1,600 at Amazon for Prime members. But when Razer released its updated line of laptops sporting the 14th Gen Intel CPU range it didn't bring out a new Blade 15, instead relying on the Blade 14 and Blade 16 to carry the torch.

That would have been fine had those new 14- and 16-inch chassis been considerably fatter than their erstwhile stablemate. The Blade 15 has retained its sleek lines, which is why it can only house an RTX 4070 GPU, but that still means it's a great gaming laptop, especially on the 1440p panel it houses.

That's maybe my only concern with the Blade 15, however, but only because I've become used to 16:10 screens in modern gaming laptops and the 2560 x 1440 panel looks more letterbox than it ought to by comparison. It's still a beautifully crisp, high-performing display.

But while the OLED panel on the Blade 16 is stunning, and the cooling achieved by that fatter chassis does help it stay quieter in-game, the Blade 15 is still my
