Razer has unveiled its highly anticipated 2025 lineup of Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18 gaming laptops, which are exclusively available at Razer.com and Razer stores. These cutting-edge devices are now shipping, with deliveries expected to begin as early as late April. The Razer Blade 16 is available in three configurations: the RTX 5070 Ti model starts at $2,999.99, the RTX 5080 at $3,499.99, and the top-tier RTX 5090 at $4,499.99. Unfortunately, the Razer Blade 18 is currently out of stock.
Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their superior build quality. Crafted from a single piece of aluminum, the chassis is both thin and light, a testament to Razer's commitment to excellence. To achieve this sleek design without compromising performance, Razer utilizes its proprietary cooling system, featuring a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled, copper vapor chamber that efficiently dissipates heat. This level of engineering, akin to that found in Apple MacBook Pros, justifies the premium pricing of Razer Blades compared to other gaming laptop brands.

All Razer Blade 16 models boast a stunning 16" 2560x1600 OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 240Hz, powered by the latest AMD Ryzen AI 9 processor and equipped with 32GB of RAM. Upgrade options are available to enhance the memory to 64GB and storage to 2TB. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 offers power efficiency and robust performance for gaming and workstation tasks, enhanced by the integration of the XDNA 2 NPU for AI applications. Opting for the HX 370 model provides a trade-off of power efficiency for faster clock speeds and stronger overall performance.

The Razer Blade 18, an Intel-based system, comes with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, a performance-oriented chip compared to the more efficiency-focused Core Ultra 9 185H. Its specs include an 18" Dual UHD+ 240Hz display (which can switch to FHD+ 440Hz), RTX 5070 Ti graphics, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD, priced at $3,499.99. Upgrades to the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 are available.
Our benchmarks confirm that the RTX 5090 is the new leader in mobile GPUs, though the improvement over the RTX 4090 is modest, ranging from 5%-10%. However, with the addition of DLSS 4, the performance gap becomes more significant.
"If you already own a decent gaming laptop, the RTX 5090 might not be worth the upgrade. The improvements are marginal compared to its predecessor, which is still excellent. However, for those waiting to invest in a high-end gaming laptop, features like multi-frame generation and battery boost make Nvidia's latest a compelling choice."
Dell has brought back the iconic Alienware Area-51 gaming laptop, announced at CES 2025, and it's now available for order. The 16" model starts at $3,199.99, and the 18" model at $3,399.99. Featuring the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and NVIDIA Blackwell GPU, these laptops are packed with cutting-edge technology. Orders are set to ship starting April 30, so it's wise to place your reservation early to avoid delays.
