Razer's highly anticipated 2025 lineup of Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18 gaming laptops are now available for purchase exclusively at Razer.com and Razer stores, with shipments starting as early as late April. The Razer Blade 16 is priced starting at $2,999.99 for the RTX 5070 Ti configuration, $3,499.99 for the RTX 5080, and $4,499.99 for the top-tier RTX 5090 model. Unfortunately, the Razer Blade 18 is currently out of stock.
Renowned for their superior build quality, Razer Blade laptops feature a chassis crafted from a single piece of aluminum, designed to be remarkably thin and light for gaming laptops. Razer's proprietary cooling system, which includes a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber, ensures efficient heat dissipation. This advanced engineering, akin to that of Apple MacBook Pros, justifies the premium price of Razer Blades compared to other mainstream brands.

Each Razer Blade 16 model boasts a stunning 16" 2560x1600 OLED display with a refresh rate of up to 240Hz, powered by the latest AMD Ryzen AI 9 processor and 32GB of RAM. Upgrade options are available, allowing for an increase to 64GB of memory and up to 2TB of internal storage. The AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 offers power-efficient performance suitable for both gaming and workstation tasks, enhanced by the XDNA 2 NPU for AI applications. For those seeking higher performance, the HX 370 model sacrifices some power efficiency for faster clock speeds and overall better performance.

The Razer Blade 18, an Intel-based system, comes with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, which is designed for high performance. It features an 18" Dual UHD+ 240Hz display that can switch to FHD+ 440Hz, RTX 5070 Ti graphics, 32GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD for $3,499.99. Upgrades to the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 are available.
Our benchmarks indicate that the RTX 5090 is the new benchmark for mobile GPUs, though the improvement over the RTX 4090 is modest at about 5%-10%. With the addition of DLSS 4, however, the performance gap becomes more significant.
**RTX 5090 Mobile Review by Jacqueline Thomas**
"If you already own a decent gaming laptop, the RTX 5090 may not be worth the upgrade. Its performance boost over the last generation isn't substantial. However, for those waiting to invest in a high-end gaming laptop, features like multi-frame generation and battery boost make the latest Nvidia-powered laptops a compelling choice."
Dell announced the return of the iconic Alienware Area-51 gaming laptop at CES 2025, and it's now available for order. The 16" model starts at $3,199.99, while the 18" model starts at $3,399.99. Equipped with the latest Intel Core Ultra 9 CPU and NVIDIA Blackwell GPU, the Area-51 is Dell's flagship gaming laptop. Orders are set to ship starting April 30, so secure your reservation to avoid any delays.
