Ready or not, Prime Day is in full swing, with a lot of early offers already floating around. Of course, the best deals are yet to come with the main event, and that’s definitely true of some fantastic deals that Razer is featuring. More specifically, Razer has some huge discounts available on the Blade series — a solid mix of gaming and productivity-focused laptops. If, for some reason, you’ve never heard of the Razer Blade series before, they’re packed with power for ultimate performance in a portable package. They’re also priced reasonably, even more so with these deals. We’ve picked out the best offers below.
Not all of the deals are laptops. This one includes a great price on a highly functional keyboard with linear optical switches. The ultra-slim casing and durable aluminum top plate are must-haves in a tough, gamer-friendly keyboard. The laser-etched keycaps with a durable coating won’t fade after lots of use, either, which is always a plus.
A step up in power, this Blade features the same 14-inch QHD display with 240Hz refresh rate as the model above. However, it comes with a GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, and 32GB of RAM, with the same AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS processor and 1TB solid-state drive. The design is similar, as well, making it a top choice if you want to game virtually anywhere with desktop-grade power.
Go big or go home. This Razer Blade features a 16-inch QHD OLED display with a 240Hz refresh rate. Under the hood is an Intel Core i9, GeForce RTX 4070, a 1TB solid-state drive, and 16GB of RAM. It’s ultra-fast and ultra-clear, and thanks to NVIDIA’s tech, you can leverage AI support, accelerate your ideas with NVIDIA Studio, and much more.
This Razer Blade 16 has a 16-inch dual UHD and FHD Mini LED display, Intel Core i9 processor, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, and 16GB of RAM. It also has a 2TB solid-state drive, offering plenty of storage space for the latest games — we all know they take up a lot of space these days. But the real allure here is the super thin, lightweight design while still delivering more graphics power per cubic inch than comparable laptops on the market. If you want the cream of the crop, this is what you should get.
The last deal on the list has the most power. It’s the biggest, baddest Blade. This Razer Blade 18 features the Intel Core i9-14900HX processor, GeForce RTX 4070 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB solid-state drive. All of that added power is going to make a huge difference when you’re playing the latest games like Star Wars Outlaws — after it launches — Black Myth: Wukong, and more. Desktop-quality features include THX Spatial Audio support across six speakers, a 5-megapixel webcam built-in, and WiFi 7 compatibility.
Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.
"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
I've spent a good amount of time digging into the spec sheet of the new M6 MacBook Pro (14-inch), and for all intents and purposes, this is a classic Apple "chip and connectivity" refresh. It's not a full redesign. The chassis, Liquid Retina XDR panel, speakers, ports, and battery, all of them carry over unchanged.
However, the M6 brings more cores, stronger on-device AI, higher memory bandwidth on the larger configs, and modern wireless. Here’s the practical rundown of what actually improved, and whether those gains are worth your money.
Two new highly requested iCloud plugins just got added to ChatGPT, giving people who rely on Apple’s Mail and Calendar services a way to search emails, check appointments, and manage their schedules directly through the chatbot.
