But rather than looking to the latest crop of portable powerhouses, take a gander at the powerful-enough RTX 20-series and there are some real bargains like this. Over at Laptops Direct for a limited time, pick up the Razer Blade 15 Advanced for just £1,699 (opens in new tab), which takes a huge £950 off the list price.

As you can read in our Razer Blade 15 Advanced review, we are big fans of the sleek all-aluminum design, thin and light profile, and comfortable typing/trackpad experience. These make it not just a great gaming laptop, but a great all-rounder for when you’re not putting it through its paces. But of course, the star of the show here is the stellar gaming performance in something so svelte. Up top, you have an FHD display with a buttery smooth 300Hz refresh rate, paired with a good set of speakers for immersive gaming. Under the hood, there’s a 10th Gen Intel Core i7-10875H CPU, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070 Super GPU with 8GB GDDR6, 16GB DDR4 RAM and a super-fast 512GB M.2 SSD. So long as you can look past the below-average battery life (to be honest, if you’re using a gaming laptop, you’re going to want to be close to a power outlet for max performance) and the fact it can run a little hot, this is a belter of a good deal that provides insane bang for your buck.
