NVIDIA’s mobile version of the GeForce RTX 5080 has sufficient horsepower and VRAM to push framerates of AAA titles at that ‘eye candy’ 4K resolution, but the gaming laptops featuring this monster of a graphics chip aren’t exactly priced for the faint of heart. Fortunately, a $300 discount is available on Amazon, bringing the price down from $2,599 to $2,299. Now, if you still think that the hardware is unnecessarily pricey, that’s because you haven’t heard the other part: you’re getting double the standard SSD capacity and RAM with the entire package.
Looking at how ridiculously expensive RAM and storage upgrades have become, it is best to pick up the ThundeRobot Radiant 16 in its current configuration
Before the RAM crisis commenced, we’d typically advise gamers to pick up machines like the ThundeRobot Radiant 16 in their standard configurations to save money, then upgrade the storage or memory at a later time once there are exceptional offers stamped on them. Unfortunately, since AI data centers have gobbled up the entire supply, we are left hunting for breadcrumbs, but we stumbled upon this exceptional deal on the online retailer.
The ThundeRobot Radiant 16 sports a 16-inch IPS LCD with a 2,560 x 1,600 resolution and a 300Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, you’ll find the aforementioned RTX 5080 GPU, a Core i9-14900HX with 24 cores, a 2TB PCIe NVMe Gen 4 SSD, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, a Wi-Fi 6 module, and more. While you can check out the port selection at the bottom, we’d like to discuss some details of the processor. You might have heard that the Core i9-14900HX is incredibly fast, but it can get notoriously hot, and you heard correctly.
Fortunately, there’s a remedy for this, and that’s CPU undervolting through ThrottleStop. We highly recommend checking out a bevy of guides and tutorials, with sufficient trial and error helping you reach your desired settings. As for the $300 discount, the ThundeRobot Radiant 16 caters to a smaller audience with its high price tag, but there’s no denying that this is one speedy gaming laptop that will bulldoze anything you throw in its direction. Also, you’re getting double the standard RAM and storage, so that’s a huge plus point.
