I'm a basic-ass Razer boi so, as far as Prime Day laptop deals go, let me show you all the colors of

I don't really vibe with the whole Razer lifestyle thing, and I don't especially care about whether my PC lights up the room in fluorescence. Heck, I don't even like the silly names or the snake logo, and we all know that Razer stuff comes with a Razer premium on the price. And yet every penny I've spent on PC gaming accessories in at least the last five years—keyboards, mice, headset, mics—has gone to Razer's coffers.

The reason is as simple as it gets: ergonomics, performance, and reliability. I think it all started when I bought a relatively cheap Razer mouse, which must have been a DeathAdder, as a hold-over while I chewed on what to splash the real money on. I ended up loving the feel and using that mouse for years, before eventually upgrading to a Basilisk.

We're curating the right here.

And I guess outside of the usual accessory buzzwords about precision and so on, the one common factor in every Razer device I've bought is that they've lasted. This is something I value like never before because I'm a middle-aged dad and all of my money goes on my ungrateful children. When I buy something I don't just need it to give me a good few years out of the box, but [[link]] to take the kind of crap that kids occasionally pull: such as when my current DeathAdder went missing, and I found it tied around a banister like some goth decoration. I'm not saying Razer products are indestructible or flawless but, if you too have the joy of children in your life, they won't buckle under the bangs and mishaps little fingers can cause.

All of which is to say that, if you're after a particular accessory, Razer will rarely be the cheapest option, but it will always be among the best and, in some categories, I'd say outright the best (I swear by my Razer Blade and sometimes think wistfully about my next upgrade). Prime Day and Black Friday are the best times to get Razer stuff at a reasonable price, and here's my pick of the deals.

Razer BlackShark V2 Pro (Gen1) | 12 - 28,000Hz | Wireless | 24 hour battery |
As good as wireless headsets get, the primary reason to recommend the BlackShark is how light it is, and how comfortable the "gel-infused" ear cushions make it over longer sessions. The audio quality is outstanding and an especially nice touch is the little sticky-out volume knob on the side. I've seen some grumbles about the 24 hour battery life next to competitors but, honestly, if you're playing for a day straight maybe the issue isn't battery life.

All that remains is the beautiful Razer Blade. I'm still on my last-gen model so I can't offer an in-depth personal experience of the Blade 14, other than to say I've used one several times and it is a machine for which I have a deep lust. This is easily the best deal around on them, but I'll defer to PCG's expert hardware team for the description:

Razer Blade 14 | RTX 4070 | Ryzen 9 7940HS | 14-inch | 2560 x 1600 | 240 Hz | 16 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD |
14 inches and Razer's Blade engineering is a killer combo. But it's horribly expensive. Normally, that is. Thanks to Amazon Prime Day, Best Buy is getting in on the deal action and this RTX 4070 equipped model is actually cheaper than the RTX 4060 model we featured earlier. But you get the same AMD CPU, the same 1440p display, the same 16GB of memory and the same 1TB SSD. You get the idea, it's basically the same except for the superior Nvidia GPU and for less money. Boom.

The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay. The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood. The payout process is generally smooth and reliable, though occasionally it takes longer than expected. Overall, I feel confident that my winnings are safe and will be credited properly.
