The launch edition boasts an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU—a performance-focused chip compared to the efficiency-oriented Core Ultra 9 185H. This configuration also includes a 16" QHD+ 240Hz display, 32GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. At $2,699.99, it undercuts the similarly specced Razer Blade 16 by roughly $500.

When Will It Ship?

HP estimates early to mid-March delivery, just a few weeks away. 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 Razer Blade 16 and Razer Blade 18—are also open for preorders. These 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 Blades are renowned for their premium build quality. The unibody aluminum chassis is remarkably thin and light, achieved through a proprietary cooling system incorporating a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber. This engineering excellence comes at a premium price point.
