Razer's eagerly awaited 2025 lineup of gaming laptops, the Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18, are now exclusively available at Razer.com and Razer stores, with shipping starting as early as late April. The Razer Blade 16 starts at $2,999.99 with an RTX 5070 Ti configuration, escalating to $3,499.99 for the RTX 5080, and reaching $4,499.99 for the top-tier RTX 5090 model. Unfortunately, the Razer Blade 18 is currently out of stock.
Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their impeccable build quality. The chassis, crafted from a single piece of aluminum, is both exceptionally thin and lightweight for a gaming laptop. Razer achieves this sleek design through its proprietary cooling system, featuring a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled, copper vapor chamber that efficiently dissipates heat. Much like the engineering behind Apple MacBook Pros, the craftsmanship of Razer Blades justifies their premium pricing.

We've reviewed an RTX 5090 mobile laptop.
Our benchmarks reveal that the RTX 5090 is the new top performer among mobile GPUs, though the improvement over the RTX 4090 is modest, at about 5%-10%. However, with DLSS 4, the performance gap becomes more significant.
RTX 5090 Mobile Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"If you already own a decent gaming laptop, the RTX 5090 might not be a game-changer. Its performance leap isn't substantial enough to warrant an upgrade. However, for those waiting to buy a high-end gaming laptop, features like multi-frame generation and battery boost make Nvidia's latest GPUs a compelling choice."
