Razer Blade 14, $1,899.99 (Was $2,799.99)

The Razer Blade 14 is a gaming laptop that gives many mid-range desktops a run for their money. The machine’s stacked tech specs include an 8-core AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX processor, 16GB of RAM (memory), a 1TB SSD (Solid State Drive), NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 with 8GB of dedicated video memory, and 14-inch QHD display whose refresh rate can climb up to 165Hz. A display’s refresh rate determines how quickly it can be updated with new information, which is key when playing fast-paced games like first-person shooters where every millisecond makes a difference.

This high-end hardware is packed into a laptop that weighs just under 4 pounds, making it light enough to reasonably carry in a backpack to and from school or work. The Razer Blade 14’s internal specs are complemented by two USB-C ports, two USB-A ports, an HDMI port, and a headphone jack. You’ll have no problem connecting Razer’s gaming accessories to this machine without an adapter. If you’ve had to cut down on your gaming time because you don’t have enough space for a full desktop rig, or you travel frequently, the Razer Blade 14 is a definitive solution.

Razer Barracuda X, $59.99 (Was $99.99)

Communicating with your teammates is key when playing online games competitively, which means you’ll need a gaming headset like the Razer Barracuda X to keep your edge. The headset is basically a pair of comfortable over-ear headphones with a microphone attached, so you can clearly hear and easily speak to fellow players. A big part of the Razer Barracuda’s appeal is that it can work wirelessly with a PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Android devices. If you game on multiple platforms, it’s helpful to use the same headset for each one. Its other standout feature is the ability to play audio in simulated 7.1 surround sound, so you can hear opponents coming at you from any angle, and get fully immersed in your game.

Why Trust Popular Science

Popular Science started writing about technology more than 150 years ago. There was no such thing as “gadget writing” when we published our first issue in 1872, but if there was, our mission to demystify the world of innovation for everyday readers means we would have been all over it. Here in the present, PopSci is fully committed to helping readers navigate the increasingly intimidating array of devices on the market right now.

Our writers and editors have combined decades of experience covering and reviewing consumer electronics. We each have our own obsessive specialties—from high-end audio to video games to cameras and beyond—but when we’re reviewing devices outside of our immediate wheelhouses, we do our best to seek out trustworthy voices and opinions to help guide people to the very best recommendations. We know we don’t know everything, but we’re excited to live through the analysis paralysis that internet shopping can spur so readers don’t have to.
