The Razer Blade 16 has been cinched and preened, but it’s not going to offer the kind of power upgrade many were hoping to see from the Nvidia RTX 5090. For the first time, the new generation of mobile GPUs isn’t laying its hat on pure framerate improvements. Instead, things are a little more nuanced than that.
The hardware’s all here, we’ve got a gorgeous OLED display returning for another year, a souped up keyboard that feels better than ever, and a slimline chassis to keep everything particularly portable. Under the hood, though, the AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 isn’t as potent as the Intel i9-14900HX in previous generation models, and the RTX 5090 wants you to think of its benefits in terms of efficiency rather than brute force.
