Razer Blade 2025: RTX 50-Series Gaming Laptops Now Available for Preorder

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 configurations: RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090. Preorders also include bonus accessories.

Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their exceptional build quality. Crafted from a single piece of aluminum, these laptops achieve a remarkably thin and light profile for gaming machines. Razer's proprietary cooling system, featuring a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber, efficiently dissipates heat, enabling this sleek design. This meticulous engineering explains the premium price point, setting them apart from mainstream competitors.
