Razer has introduced the 2025 Razer Blade 16, with notable updates to its design, performance, and components. The latest model boasts a sleeker profile, measuring only 0.59 inches (14.9mm) in thickness at the front, a 30% reduction from the 2024 version.
Despite its slimmer build, the laptop maintains its robust specifications, including an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU and a next-generation Nvidia GPU, marking Razer’s debut of an AMD processor in the Blade 16 series.
The Blade 16 also enhances its audio system with six speakers, an upgrade from the previous four, and retains the 240Hz OLED display from the previous year.
However, the thinner chassis does come with some compromises. The new model features a 90Wh battery, reduced from last year’s 95.2Wh, and can charge up to 80% in approximately 45 minutes. This rapid charging capability could be crucial as earlier models were criticized for their mediocre battery performance.
Razer seeks to tackle potential thermal issues with a new thermal gel that covers a larger area within the laptop. While the new AMD processor may aid in reducing heat and enhancing battery life, the impact of these changes on overall performance will require testing. The new Blade 16 also boasts a deeper body (250.5mm) and improved key travel (1.5mm) for enhanced typing comfort.
Scheduled for launch in the first quarter of 2025, the Razer Blade 16 promises to deliver potent gaming performance in a slimmer form factor. However, its pricing remains undisclosed, though it is anticipated to be positioned at the premium end.
