There is no shortage of Cyber Monday gaming deals and PS5 deals are certainly joining in on the fun — particularly PS5 games and accessories. Given the scarcity and newness of the PS5, you aren’t going to find any real discounts on the PS5 console itself, other than maybe a bundle with a free or discounted game. Thanks to demand vastly outstripping supplies, you’ll need to settle on finding a PS5 in stock as a deal — restocks are gone as soon as they are listed....

The leaker, Tidux, wrote a tweet that breaks down the comparison between the two consoles in a basic format: According to Tidux, the Xbox Series X and the PS5 have equivalent CPUs, but the Xbox Series X wins with its GPU by less than 1 Teraflop. Meanwhile the PS5 takes the victory lap with its larger RAM as well as its larger and faster SSD. Tidux broke this down to the PS5 having better performance than the Xbox Series X, but that doesn’t really make sense....

But, what happens when you put them together? Simple. You get the Razer Anzu smart glasses — a pair of working specs with open-ear audio and built-in microphones for your all-in-one conference calling eye protection.

The Razer Blade 17 does offer strong performance (via an Intel Core i7-12800H CPU and Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti GPU), a great set of speakers, a comfortable keyboard, and enough battery life to get you through two viewings of The Batman. All of that might be worth its frustrating $4,000 price tag. However, a display so dim that it belongs on a Chromebook is a sore spot. I wouldn’t advocate for the Razer Blade 17 to show up on our best gaming laptops or the best Razer laptops page, but it’s still a solid piece of gaming hardware if you’re rolling in dough and consider opting for a different display....
