HP estimates shipments to begin in early to mid-March. Note that benchmarks for the RTX 50-series mobile GPUs are not yet available.
Alternative: Preorder the New Razer Blade Laptops
Razer's 2025 gaming laptops—the Blade 16 and Blade 18—are also available for preorder. These laptops feature Intel and Ryzen processors (depending on model) and RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs (RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090). Preorders include bonus accessories.
Razer Blade laptops are renowned for their premium build quality. Crafted from a single piece of aluminum, they are exceptionally thin and light, thanks to Razer's proprietary cooling system—a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber. This sophisticated engineering contributes to their higher price point.
