When it comes to purchasing something, whether it is a gaming laptop or anything else, it becomes one of the most critical times anyone faces when deciding what to buy.

Computers have become more and more powerful as technological progress continues to pave the road to improvement. With each passing generation, computers have managed to get more compact and faster, seen via the recent line of gaming laptops that have come out in 2021.

Many new generations of gaming laptops have arrived with the latest and greatest 3000 series Nvidia GPUs, which can perform efficiently even off the wall.


How does Razer Blade gaming laptop perform in 2021?

For consumers stuck between getting a full-sized gaming PC and a laptop with 3070, it is more beneficial to buy the latter. The main reason is the sky-high prices of desktop GPUs due to the shortage of chips and scalpers.

Razer is quite well-known in the industry for its top-tier peripherals and expertise with anything related to gaming. So no compromises were made when making the Razer Blade 15, which comes with a 3070 in a compact laptop body.

One of the most prominent aspects that makes the Razer Blade stand out from other gaming laptops with 3070 is its total thickness. Even though other manufacturers have also managed to make their laptops slimmer, the Razer Blade does stand out from them with its slick body.
