Razer's 2025 lineup of Blade 16 and Blade 18 gaming laptops, initially available exclusively through Razer.com and Razer stores, has started shipping with deliveries expected as early as late April. The Razer Blade 16 starts at $2,999.99 for the RTX 5070 Ti model, $3,499.99 for the RTX 5080, and $4,499.99 for the top-tier RTX 5090 configuration. The Razer Blade 18 is currently unavailable.
Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their exceptional build quality. Each chassis is precision-machined from a single block of aluminum, resulting in a remarkably thin and lightweight design for a gaming machine. To maintain this sleek profile, Razer utilizes a proprietary cooling system featuring a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber that efficiently dissipates heat. Similar to Apple's MacBook Pro, significant engineering investment goes into every Razer Blade, justifying their premium positioning compared to mainstream competitors.

We've reviewed an RTX 5090 mobile laptop.
Our benchmark results confirm the RTX 5090 as the new leader in mobile graphics, though the performance leap over its predecessor is more modest than anticipated. On average, the RTX 5090 delivers a 5% to 10% performance increase compared to the previous RTX 4090. However, with DLSS 4 enabled, the performance gap becomes more significant.
RTX 5090 Mobile Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"If you already own a capable gaming laptop, the RTX 5090 isn't a compelling upgrade. It doesn't offer a substantial improvement over the excellent last-generation model. However, for those ready to invest in a new high-end system, features like multi-frame generation and enhanced battery optimization make laptops powered by Nvidia's latest GPU an attractive proposition."
