Razer's 2025 lineup introduces the highly anticipated Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18 gaming laptops, exclusively available at Razer.com and Razer stores. These cutting-edge devices are now shipping, with the earliest deliveries expected in late April. The Razer Blade 16 starts at $2,999.99 for the RTX 5070 Ti configuration, escalating to $3,499.99 for the RTX 5080, and reaching $4,499.99 for the top-tier RTX 5090. Unfortunately, the Razer Blade 18 is currently out of stock.
Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their superior build quality. Crafted from a single piece of aluminum, these laptops boast a sleek and lightweight design without compromising on performance. Razer's proprietary cooling system, featuring a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber, efficiently dissipates heat, allowing for such a slim profile. This meticulous engineering, akin to that of Apple's MacBook Pros, justifies the premium price tag these laptops carry over other mainstream brands.

We've reviewed an RTX 5090 mobile laptop.
Our benchmarks confirm the RTX 5090 as the new pinnacle of mobile GPUs, though the improvement over the RTX 4090 is modest, ranging from 5% to 10%. However, with the implementation of DLSS 4, the performance gap becomes more noticeable.
RTX 5090 Mobile Review by Jacqueline Thomas:
"If you're already equipped with a solid gaming laptop, the RTX 5090 may not warrant a second glance. Its improvement over the previous generation isn't groundbreaking. However, for those awaiting an upgrade to a premium gaming laptop, features like multi-frame generation and battery boost make Nvidia's latest offering an attractive choice."
