The Razer Blade 16 Is Even Thinner This Year

Razer announced it’s overhauling nan Razer Blade 16 incorrect and out. In summation to a caller CPU and GPU, nan Blade 16 is now thinner wide than nan outgoing 2024 exemplary and comes pinch a less tweaks to its audio strategy and keyboard.

The caller Blade 16 comes pinch up to a Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 CPU and a “next-gen Nvidia GPU.” The institution too bumped its speaker array from 4 to six speakers, while nan show carries complete nan 240Hz OLED introduced to nan connection past year. This is nan first clip Razer has put an AMD processor successful nan Blade 16.

Razer says it’s packing each of that into a chassis that’s complete 30 percent thinner than past year’s exemplary astatine conscionable 0.59 inches — aliases 14.9 millimeters — thick in nan beforehand and 0.69 inches (17.4mm) successful nan back, not including nan feet. For reference, nan 16-inch MacBook Pro M4 is 0.61 inches (15.5mm) thick, including feet.
