Well, we are in time for the most wonderful time of the new year where we get to see new devices for the first time as part of the exhibition CES 2025 and we are informed about the consequences! We have the opportunity to take a first look at Blade 16 of Razer’s next generation, a model the company claims is “the thinnest Razer gaming laptop ever.” The news comes a year after Razer announced its predecessor at CES 2024.
So, is it as subtle as we are being told? According to Razer, the newest Blade 16 is up to 32% thinner than the 2024 model at 0.59 inches thick. We’ll have to see how this reduced space affects its battery life.
The Blade 16’s keyboard has also changed and gained 50% more travel at 1.5mm. In addition, the 16-inch screen has panel technology OLED QHD+ 240 Hz which can respond to 0.2ms. Razer has also given Blade 16 AMD Ryzen AI processors for the first time the ability to support any AI-powered applications. The Blade 16 doesn’t have a price yet, but given its predecessor starts at $2,700, it’s unlikely to come cheap.
Razer on the occasion of their visit to CES, announces a “AI esports coach” called Project Ava. It provides real-time support drawn from the slightly vague “community bases of wisdom and knowledge”. Players will be able to access it during breaks, on their headphones while playing or in a chat. It should be available in an upcoming beta release.
In addition, Razer released a number of new gaming accessories, including the $200 Chroma Monitor Stand. It can hold up to 44 pounds, has a 4-port USB-C hub, and supports 16.8 million colors for custom lighting. There’s also the Iskur V2 X , which has similar features to the Iskur V2 but with a longer seat base (over 21 inches) and a much more affordable price, $300 versus $650. Speaking of chairs, Razer announced Project Arielle, an armchair that offers heating and cooling systems.
