Alternative: Preorder the New Razer Blade Laptops

Razer's impressive 2025 gaming laptop lineup is also available for pre-order. The Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18, orderable directly from Razer.com, will feature the latest Intel and Ryzen processors (depending on the model) and the highly anticipated RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs (RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090).

Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their exceptional build quality. Crafted from a single piece of aluminum, these laptops are surprisingly thin and light for gaming machines.
