Deal | RTX 5080, 64GB RAM: This 16-inch gaming laptop is 40% off today

Hardware prices remain exceptionally high for the time being, which is bad news for gamers who are in dire need of an upgrade. Since high-end laptops from basically all big brands, such as Lenovo and Asus, have become sinfully expensive, it might be worth checking out some of the lesser-known options out there.

The Thunderobot Radiant 16 is one of those gaming notebooks, but that doesn't mean it comes with unimpressive specs. On the contrary, a good-looking configuration that's currently on sale at Target sports an Intel Core i9-14900HX and Nvidia GeForce RTX 5080 with 16GB GDDR7 VRAM, which are powerful core components even for more demanding gamers.

In addition, the 16-inch machine is equipped with 64GB DDR5 RAM as well as a 2TB SSD and a 2TB PCIe SSD. The laptop also has a 300Hz QHD+ screen with 2560 x 1600 pixels, 500 nits of brightness and 100% sRGB according to the manufacturer. Most importantly, the seller PCOnline is now listing this model variant of the Thunderobot Radiant 16 for $2,459 thanks to a huge 40% discount in relation to the official MSRP of almost $4,100.

It's worth noting that the Thunderobot Radiant 16 might be based on a Clevo or Tongfang chassis, which usually means that the underlying construction and standardized software are pretty solid. Other companies like the Germany-based laptop specialists from Schenker and XMG also rely on similar barebones and often leave good impressions in our in-depth reviews.

With all that said, this offer might be worth a shot for gamers who can deal with the potential downsides of smaller brands, such as the potentially lower resale value and sometimes less polished ownership experience.
