Alternative: Preorder the New Razer Blade Laptops

Razer's 2025 gaming laptop lineup is also open for preorders. The Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18, available directly from Razer.com, will be equipped with the latest Intel and Ryzen processors (depending on the model) and the new RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs (RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090). Preorders include bonus accessories.

Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their exceptional build quality. Crafted from a single piece of aluminum, they are remarkably thin and light for gaming laptops. This slim profile is achieved through Razer's proprietary cooling system, which uses a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled, copper vapor chamber for efficient heat dissipation. Similar to Apple MacBook Pros, significant engineering goes into Razer Blade laptops, justifying their premium pricing.
