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 powerful variants: 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 piece of aluminum, their chassis are remarkably thin and light for gaming laptops. This sleek form factor is achieved through Razer's proprietary cooling system, featuring a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber for efficient heat dissipation. Similar to Apple MacBook Pros, extensive engineering goes into each Razer Blade, justifying their premium price point.
