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, feature 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 often include bonus accessories.

Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their premium build quality. Crafted from a single piece of aluminum, they are exceptionally thin and light for gaming laptops. This sleek design is achieved through Razer's proprietary cooling system, a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber, ensuring efficient heat dissipation. This advanced engineering contributes to their higher price point compared to mainstream competitors.
