Razer's 2025 gaming laptop lineup is now available for preorder. The Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18 are available directly from Razer.com, featuring Intel and Ryzen processors (depending on model) and the new RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs (RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090). Preorders include bonus accessories.
Renowned for their premium build quality, Razer Blade laptops utilize a unibody aluminum chassis, resulting in a remarkably thin and light design for a gaming laptop. This sleek form factor is achieved through Razer's proprietary cooling system, incorporating a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber for efficient heat dissipation. This advanced engineering justifies their higher price point compared to mainstream competitors.
