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 variants: RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090. Pre-ordering secures you some bonus accessories, too!
Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their exceptional build quality. Crafted from a single block of aluminum, their chassis are remarkably thin and light for gaming laptops. This sleek design is achieved through Razer's proprietary cooling system, featuring a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber for efficient heat dissipation. Similar to Apple's MacBook Pros, extensive engineering goes into each Razer Blade, justifying their premium price point.

The Razer Blade 18, an Intel-based system, features the powerful Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU—a performance-focused chip compared to the efficiency-oriented Core Ultra 9 185H. This base configuration includes an 18" Dual UHD+ 240Hz display (switchable to FHD+ 440Hz), RTX 5070 Ti graphics, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. Upgrades to the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 are available.

The Razer Blade 16 is powered by AMD, starting with the AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 CPU. Its specs include a 16" 240Hz QHD+ OLED display, RTX 5070 Ti graphics, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD. You can upgrade the processor to a Ryzen AI 9 370HX and the GPU to either the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090. Pre-ordering rewards you with an X-Ray Razer laptop skin and an RGB laptop stand.
Razer hasn't announced an official release date, but expect a delay of at least a few months. The RTX 50-series mobile GPUs are yet to be released, so performance comparisons to previous generations remain unknown.
