IMHO, this is the best-looking gaming laptop on the market. Impossibly thin for a high-powered gaming laptop with a sleek, slab look, this 15.6-inch Razer Blade laptop also boasts a powerful, smart component lineup. This model pairs a 10th-gen Intel Core i7 CPU with Nvidia GeForce RTX 2060 graphics and supplies an ample 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD. The 15.6-inch display features a full HD resolution and a speedy 144Hz refresh rate.

This is about as inexpensive as a gaming laptop gets. You won’t be able to run the latest AAA titles but it can play slightly older games such as Fortnite and CS:GO at full HD resolution. The Nitro 5 features a 15.6-inch, full HD display with a speedy 144Hz refresh rate with a 10th-gen Intel Core i5 CPU, 8GB of memory and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti graphics.
