Razer has launched its highly anticipated 2025 gaming laptop lineup, featuring the sleek Razer Blade 16 and the more robust Razer Blade 18. These premium devices are exclusively available at Razer.com and Razer stores, with the earliest deliveries expected as early as late April. The Razer Blade 16 is priced starting at $2,999.99 for the RTX 5070 Ti version, $3,499.99 for the RTX 5080 variant, and $4,499.99 for the RTX 5090 configuration. Unfortunately, the Razer Blade 18 is currently out of stock.
Renowned for their exceptional build quality, Razer Blade laptops boast a single-piece aluminum chassis designed to be both lightweight and compact. To maintain this slim profile, Razer employs a proprietary cooling system featuring a vacuum-sealed liquid-filled copper vapor chamber to efficiently dissipate heat. Similar to Apple MacBook Pros, Razer Blade laptops incorporate advanced engineering, which explains their premium pricing compared to mainstream competitors.

All Razer Blade 16 models come equipped with a stunning 16-inch 2560x1600 OLED display offering up to a 240Hz refresh rate, the latest AMD Ryzen AI 9 processor, and 32GB of RAM. Upgrades include increasing the memory to 64GB and expanding internal storage to 2TB. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 strikes a balance between power efficiency and performance, enhanced further by the integrated XDNA 2 NPU for AI applications. Opting for the HX 370 model sacrifices some energy efficiency for higher clock speeds and improved overall performance.

RTX 5090 Mobile Review
Our benchmarks confirm that the RTX 5090 stands as the top-tier mobile GPU, though not by a significant margin over its predecessor. On average, it offers a 5%-10% performance boost over the RTX 4090. However, integrating DLSS 4 enhances the gap. Here’s what Jacqueline Thomas had to say:
"If you already own a decent gaming laptop, there’s no compelling reason to consider the RTX 5090. It doesn’t offer a substantial leap over its predecessor, which remains outstanding. But if you’ve been waiting to upgrade to a high-end gaming laptop, features like multi-frame generation and battery boost make premium models with the latest Nvidia GPUs even better."
