Razer has quietly un-paused some laptop sales

In what seemed like a response to ongoing tariff tumult, the US Razer site had quietly pulled its Blade laptops from direct sales, including its new Blade 16 with Nvidia’s 50-series GPUs. Things seemed normal in other regions like Canada. But even after a week of paused sales and Reddit posts discussing Blade 16 preorders getting held up in US Customs, however, Razer never responded to The Verge’s inquiries about what’s going on.

Now, some configurations of the 2025 Blade 16 have reappeared for US residents, though not all Blade laptops have returned to Razer’s US online store.

Before the sales pause, there were still 2024 Blade 16 models available, as well as preorders for the Blade 18. Now, those are nowhere to be seen for US customers.

Also, the 2025 Blade 16 is only available for immediate purchase with the RTX 5080 GPU. The entry-level RTX 5070 Ti and flagship RTX 5090 configurations are only listed with “notify me” buttons.

And even more curious: the 5090 config is limited to 64GB of RAM and 4TB of storage for $4,899.99, but the review spec that Razer sent us for testing with 32GB / 1TB for $4,499.99 isn’t available.

We’ve reached out to Razer to try and get clarification about what’s going on.
