Summary:\u00a0Razer has halted sales of the Blade 16 and Blade 18 through its US online store. The option to buy either laptop has been removed, with a button that says \u201cnotify me\u201d taking its place. Halted US sales may not apply to retail partners.
\nRazer has reportedly halted sales of its lineup of Blade laptops on its US site, save for one model \u2013 the Blade 14. As of right now, if you try to buy Razer\u2019s new Blade 16 laptop, you\u2019re met with a \u201cnotify me\u201d button instead of the button that says \u201cbuy now.\u201d The same is true for the Blade 18.
\nIt seems plausible that the Blade 14 is still available to buy because it\u2019s an older model. It comes powered by the RTX 40-series GPUs, and Razer probably already has manufactured stock available in the US. Ready to sell. That being said, we\u2019re merely speculating. Razer hasn\u2019t provided any comment on the pause of its sales for new laptop models thus far. It may also never address the halting of sales on the US site, instead simply choosing to quietly resume them at a future date.
\nHalted US sales of the Razer Blade 16 and 18 conveniently happen before new tariffs take effect
\nAs of right now, there\u2019s no confirmation on why Razer has halted US sales of the Blade 16 or Blade 18. The Verge reportedly asked for clarification on the decision to stop direct sales to US consumers. But Razer\u2019s only response so far has been that it has no comment on tariffs at this time. \u201cWe do not have a comment at this stage regarding tariffs,\u201d Razer\u2019s PR Manager Andy Johnston said.
\nWithout drawing too many conclusions, the new tariffs that begin at midnight appear to be the likely reason. It only seems more likely when you factor in Nintendo\u2019s decision to delay US pre-orders of the Switch 2 due to the tariffs. It\u2019s also unclear if Razer\u2019s decision to halt US sales could have anything to do with potential price increases.
\nFor now, the only option to buy one of the new laptops is from a retail partner. That being said, Amazon may be the only one where adding to cart is even an option. Even then, Amazon directly states that it\u2019s out of stock of the 5090-powered Blade 16. Consumers can still place the order, though, and get an email when there\u2019s an estimated delivery date.
\nRazer has also halted US sales of the new laptop stand
\nIt\u2019s not just Blade laptops that you can\u2019t buy from the US Razer store. Razer also announced a new laptop stand this morning, which was supposed to be available for purchase beginning April 8. Like the Blade 16 and Blade 18, however, it merely says notify me. This doesn\u2019t appear to be happening to any other products. For example, Razer\u2019s new Huntsman V3 Pro Mini keyboard that was announced back at the end of March, is availble.
\nAs The Verge points out, all of these products are available in Razer\u2019s Canadian online store and in other regions. So, it hasn\u2019t halted sales everywhere. It\u2019s not clear when Razer will resume sales of the new laptop stand or the Blade laptops in its US online store.
