![]() Want a 3080 instead of the 3070 Ti? Scroll down. It has one of the best screens you can get on a gaming machine and incredible power for a laptop this thin, plus Wi-Fi 6E, USB-C charging (and 3.2 Gen 2 speeds), a Windows Hello webcam, RGB-backlit keyboard, and 1TB of PCIe storage. The Razer Blade 14 is $1,799 at Best Buy ($800 off) if you sign in with a free My Best Buy account, or $1,999 at Razer, or Newegg, with an RTX 3070 Ti, AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX, and Razer’s beloved 165Hz 2560 x 1440 display with 100 percent DCI-P3 color coverage.The Asus ROG Zephyrus G15 with a RTX 3080 is $1,699 at Best Buy ($300 off), and that’s a pretty good price for our best gaming laptop pick from last year - just know that last year’s model doesn’t have a webcam, and they probably don’t give the 3080 enough juice and headroom to make it notably better than the 3070 we reviewed.This one’s got a Ryzen 9 5900HX, 1TB PCIe 3.0 SSD, a fancy opti-mechanical RGB keyboard, and USB-C charging - but no webcam, no Thunderbolt, and only Wi-Fi 6. That 3080 is driving a 15.6-inch 300Hz ultra-high-refresh screen at a mere 1080p, so you’ll absolutely get wild framerates in e-sports games, and we were pleased with its chassis and keyboard when we reviewed a version with earlier internal components. The Asus ROG Strix Scar 15 is $1,699 at Amazon or Newegg ($300 off), with an RTX 3080 in a laptop you’d actually want to touch - and $100 cheaper than its Black Friday price.With only 512GB of storage at this price, I’d sooner point you at other systems on this list. I can only really recommend it to those who value performance above all, because we weren’t impressed by its chassis, screen, or touchpad in our review - and this model has an even weaker 1080p screen with just 45 percent of the NTSC color gamut, at only 144Hz. T he MSI GP66 Leopard is on sale for $1,569 at Walmart with an RTX 3080. ![]() The only other one I’d recommend is the one at Walmart - scroll up! Cameron really liked an earlier version in our review, and this laptop generally gets high marks, just note that not everyone’s selling the same version this Black Friday week, with some passing off versions with lackluster screens.
