If you've been hesitant to buy a Razer gaming laptop, now might be the time to do so, according to Razer CEO Min-Lian Tan, who said that next-generation gaming laptops, such as the Razer Blade series, will increase in price starting next year, Tan said added that the cost spike is related to "a significant increase in component costs"

The chip shortage has left a huge scar on the industry, especially when it comes to gaming components; two years later, it is still incredibly difficult to find Nvidia GeForce RTX 30 series graphics cards and next-generation consoles like the PS5 and Xbox Series X in stock incredibly difficult to find It is therefore no surprise that Razer was also affected

At this point, the severity of the price increase is unknown, and Tan has not stated whether it will apply to all models Non-gaming products may not be affected

In any case, what we know for sure is that now is a great time to get a Razer gaming laptop Sure, the Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals may be over, but there are still plenty of discounts out there And while recently launched products like the AMD-powered Razer Blade 14 didn't get a price cut at the big sales events, you can still get it cheaper than next year if you buy now

For example, right now you can save $500 on the Razer Blade Stealth 13 OLED gaming laptop on Amazon With this deal, that's a 25% discount off the original price, bringing this machine down to its lowest price ever With this laptop deal, you'll get an OLED gaming laptop with an 11th generation Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q GPU However, be quick, as there are only a few left in stock

Razer is known for producing some of the best gaming laptops in the industry I've been using the Razer Blade 15 (2019) Quartz Edition for about two years now, so I gave that one a try And if you want a Razer OLED gaming laptop, the Blade Stealth 13 is the way to go

This particular configuration is powered by an 11th generation Intel Core i7 processor and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q graphics card It also has a 133" 1080p touchscreen display with an OLED panel, 512GB of SSD storage, and 16GB of RAM And while the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Max-Q GPU probably won't be able to handle graphics-intensive games on the "Ultra" setting (ray tracing is off), the laptop will still be able to make light work of most of your game library

However, if you are looking for more power, we recommend the Razer Blade 15 (2020) Advanced, which is currently $401 off on Amazon It is powered by a 10th generation Intel Core i7 CPU and an Nvidia GeForce RTX 2080 Super Max-Q GPU Other specs include a 15-inch 4K OLED touch display, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of SSD storage
