Alternative: Razer Blade Laptops
Razer's 2025 gaming laptops are also available for preorder at Razer.com. The Blade 16 and Blade 18 offer Intel and Ryzen processor options (depending on screen size) and RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs (RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090). Preorders include bonus accessories.
Razer Blades are renowned for their premium build quality. The unibody aluminum chassis is exceptionally thin and light, achieved through a proprietary cooling system featuring a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber. This engineering contributes to their higher price point.
