If you're someone looking for a powerful gaming laptop and a wildly thin laptop that could pass for a black Macbook, I might have found something for you. Amazon has a deal on a mighty little Razer Blade 14 for $2400; that's $400 off its usual price. If there are two things you should know about Razer Blade laptops, they are very expensive and rarely discounted this heavily.
This 14-inch notebook is powered by an AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX CPU and an RTX 3080 8GB. Like Yoda, you shouldn't judge this laptop's power based on its size. It's packing a lot under its very thin aluminum hood. It's just under four pounds, so you'll be able to travel pretty easily with it. Because of the power requirements, you won't be getting the same 1:1 performance from a mobile RTX 3080 as its desktop brethren. That being said, You'll be able to play almost all your favorite games at high to max settings in QHD. However, expect this thing to drain your battery in a flash if you're not plugged in.
