Best Prime Day gaming laptop deals: Save $550 on a Razer Blade 15 and more

Sarah Tew/CNET

IMHO, this is the best-looking gaming laptop on the market. Impossibly thin for a high-powered gaming laptop with a sleek, slab look, this 15.6-inch Razer Blade machine also boasts a powerful, smart component lineup. This is the first time I’ve seen any Razer Blade laptop priced in the triple digits. With a substantial savings of $550, this baseline model features a 10th-gen Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM, a 256GB solid-state drive and GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics. The 15.6-inch display features a full HD resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Need more power? The step-up model with RTX 2060 graphics is $320 off for a sale price of $1,480.

This Gigabyte is the lowest-cost laptop I’ve seen with Nvidia GeForce RTX 30-series graphics, and that’s before you factor in its current $50 discount. It features the RTX 3060 GPU along with a 10th-gen Core i5 CPU, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The 15.6-inch screen has full HD resolution and a 144Hz refresh rate.

MSI

This 15.6-inch MSI gaming laptop supplies an FHD, 144Hz display powered by a 10th-gen Intel Core i7 CPU, 16GB of RAM and GeForce RTX 2060 graphics. The RTX 2060 is the budget card in Nvidia’s previous RTX 2000-series lineup and offers excellent value. It can do ray tracing, which reproduces how light behaves in the real world to give games a more photorealistic look. 

MSI

This MSI GS66 model bumps you up to modern RTX 3060 graphics, an even faster 240Hz display and a huge 1TB SSD.

This model from Asus delivers previous-generation GeForce RTX 2070 Super graphics and a previous-generation Core i7 CPU, but both should be plenty powerful when combined with 16GB of RAM. This laptop boasts a fast 240Hz, 15.6-inch display and tons of storage with a 1TB SSD.
