Blade 18 2026 - steal turns into steal of the centuryfrom r/GamingLaptops
One Redditor has seemingly got the PC hardware deal of the year by paying €2,433 (around $2,800) for a Razer laptop that currently sells for €6,600 (just under $7,700). Gaming laptops may be pricey right now, thanks to the memory crisis, but that would be a steal even pre-memory crisis. All they had to do was get incredibly lucky.
As posted by iiT2 over on the GamingLaptops subreddit, a European buyer bought a Blade 18, with 32 GB of memory, a 1 TB SSD, an RTX 5080, and an Intel Ultra 9 290 HX Plus. A mighty machine, but modest in comparison to what they were accidentally sent: A Razer Blade 18 with an RTX 5090, the same Intel chip, a 2 TB SSD, and 64 GB of memory. I put this new configuration together on Razer's website and found out the memory upgrade alone costs an extra €900 (around $1,050) more than the price they actually paid.
