Alternative: Preorder the New Razer Blade Laptops
Razer's 2025 gaming laptops—the Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18—are also open for preorders. These laptops feature Intel and Ryzen processors (depending on model) and the new RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs (RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090). Preorders include bonus accessories.
Razer Blades are renowned for their premium build quality. Crafted from a single piece of aluminum, they are remarkably thin and light, achieved through a proprietary cooling system incorporating a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber. This engineering prowess justifies their higher price point compared to mainstream competitors.
