Razer is giving its Blade 16 gaming laptop a speed and battery boost for 2026. The high-end gaming laptop keeps the same thin chassis and RTX 50-series GPU options as last year’s model, but it’s now making the switch from AMD to an Intel Core Ultra 9 386H “Panther Lake” chip, and corresponding faster RAM. The new Blade 16 is available now directly from Razer, starting at $3,499.99 with an RTX 5080 GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. The top-end RTX 5090 model gets 2TB of storage and costs $4,499.99. According to Razer’s specs sheet, a cheaper Blade 16 with RTX 5070 Ti will be priced and released at a later time.
