Razer's latest 2025 lineup of gaming laptops, the Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18, are now exclusively available for purchase on Razer.com and at Razer stores. These cutting-edge devices are set to start shipping with deliveries expected as early as late April. The Razer Blade 16 comes in various configurations starting at $2,999.99 for the RTX 5070 Ti model, $3,499.99 for the RTX 5080, and topping out at $4,499.99 for the RTX 5090. Unfortunately, the Razer Blade 18 is currently out of stock.
Razer Blade laptops are celebrated for their superior build quality, featuring a chassis crafted from a single piece of aluminum, designed to be exceptionally slim and lightweight for a gaming laptop. To maintain this sleek profile, Razer employs its proprietary cooling system, which uses a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber to efficiently manage heat. This level of engineering, reminiscent of Apple MacBook Pros, justifies the premium pricing compared to other mainstream brands.

We've reviewed an RTX 5090 mobile laptop.
Our benchmarks show that the RTX 5090 is the new king of mobile GPUs, though the improvement over the RTX 4090 it replaces is modest, ranging from 5% to 10%. However, when DLSS 4 is factored in, the performance gap becomes more significant.
RTX 5090 Mobile Review by Jacqueline Thomas: "If you already have a decent gaming laptop, you really shouldn’t look at the RTX 5090 twice. It doesn’t deliver much of an improvement over its last-generation counterpart, which remains excellent. However, if you’ve been waiting to upgrade to a high-end gaming laptop for a while, features like multi-frame generation and battery boost will make premium laptops powered by Nvidia’s latest even better."
