Razer's 2025 gaming laptop lineup (Blade 16 and Blade 18) is also open for preorders at Razer.com. These laptops offer Intel and Ryzen processor options (depending on screen size) and RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs (RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090). Preorders include bonus accessories.
Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their premium build quality, utilizing a single-piece aluminum chassis for a thin and light design. Proprietary cooling, including a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber, manages heat effectively. This engineering contributes to their higher price point compared to competitors.
