The last time we introduced the Thunderobot Radiant 16 gaming laptop equipped with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5080 GPU, it was already the most affordable portable powerhouse listed on Amazon with this graphics processor. Now, there is excellent news for those wanting to immerse themselves in AAA gaming without having to keep a gaming PC in one place, because the Thunderobot Radiant 16 is the most affordable RTX 5080-powered machine available on Amazon with an additional price drop.
When we previously discussed this offer, the cheapest configuration was going for $2449.99, but at the same time, it offered more storage and RAM. However, if you want to save up money with the option of upgrading these parts later, a base version of the Radiant 16 is up for grabs for $2,299.99, and it comes with 16GB of DDR5 RAM and a 512GB SSD. No other alternative is available at this price, and with our immediate recommendation is that you pick it up as quickly as you can because this is the first time that RTX 5080 gaming laptops are available at a ‘not so insane’ price, and there is no telling when this figure will jump.
With the myriad amounts of discounts offered on RAM and storage upgrades, the Thunderobot Radiant 16 offers incredible specifications as a whole package. As the name suggests, it sports a 16-inch IPS LCD with a QHD resolution and supports up to a 300Hz refresh rate. Perhaps the only drawback you will encounter with this gaming laptop is that it has an older Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU. Fortunately, it is a solid performer thanks to its 24-core configuration, allowing you to tackle multi-threaded workloads like there is no tomorrow.
A multitude of ports are also present, ranging from three USB-A ports, one USB-C input, an HDMI port, Ethernet, and an audio-combo jack. If you want to ignore the presence of the older Core i9-14900HX processor and focus on the raw performance, the Thunderobot Radiant 16’s price is pretty much unmatched when comparing other RTX 5080-powered laptops. However, $2,299.99 is still a decent chunk of change, so it might take a lot of convincing for you to pick up one of these.
