Razer's highly anticipated 2025 lineup of gaming laptops, the Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18, are now available for preorder directly from Razer.com. These powerhouses boast the latest Intel and Ryzen processors (depending on the model), and pack a punch with the upcoming RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs in three configurations: RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090. Preorders also include bonus accessories.
Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their exceptional build quality. Crafted from a single block of aluminum, these laptops achieve a remarkably thin and light design for a gaming machine. This sleek form factor is made possible by Razer's proprietary cooling system, featuring a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber for efficient heat dissipation. Similar to Apple's MacBook Pros, Razer Blades represent a significant engineering feat, justifying their premium price point.
