The <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/gaming-laptops\/asus-rog-zephyrus-g16-2024-ga605-review\/\" target=\"_blank\">ROG Zephyrus G16<\/a> scorched its way to the top of our <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/best-gaming-laptop\/\" target=\"_blank\">best gaming laptop guide<\/a> in 2024, thanks to its ultra-slim design, fabulous OLED screen, and excellent table manners.<\/p>\n<p>However, I&#8217;ve just spent some time with the new Razer Blade 16 at <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/tag\/ces-2025\/\" target=\"_blank\">CES 2025<\/a>, and I couldn&#8217;t help but be impressed. Razer has long been known for making sleek, desirable gaming machines\u2014but in recent years, we&#8217;ve found them to be <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/hardware\/gaming-laptops\/razers-blade-gaming-laptops-have-lost-their-edge\/\" target=\"_blank\">a little on the chonky side<\/a> compared to the competition.<\/p>\n<p>However, the 2025 Blade 16 is anything but. It&#8217;s 30% smaller by volume than the previous Blade, and a fair bit slimmer overall too. That&#8217;s thanks to a small underside bump which allows room for airflow over hot components but doesn&#8217;t feel like a tacked-on addition to an otherwise svelte machine.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s integrated into the bottom of the deck which means that the laptop feels deceptively thin overall while still hopefully giving a hefty GPU enough room to breathe. The result looks a little clunky in photos, but in person, it&#8217;s much less noticeable.<\/p>\n<p>Overall the Blade 16 is a trimmed down, crisp-edged, ultra-premium looking and feeling machine, and substantially better proportioned and sleeker than the previous model. I span one around in my hands, and thought hard about whether it passes the &#8220;desirability test.&#8221; Is it an object I want, something I&#8217;d lay down my own cash for? In short, yes. Very much so.<\/p>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery inline-layout\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-wrap\" style=\"display:flex; flex-flow:row nowrap;\">\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 1 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:4032px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"3nyvaSKFRLZFtL4YQS6mjV\" name=\"rzerlaptopcomparison\" alt=\"The new Razer Blade 16 sitting on top of the 2024 model, showing how much slimmer the new design is compared to the previous.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-new-aggressively-priced-razer-blade-16-is-slimmer-sleeker-amd-strix-point-equipped-and-may-just-be-the-asus-g16-competitor-ive-been-hoping-for.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"2268\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"caption-text\">The new Razer Blade 16 sitting on top of the older model. <\/span><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 2 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"iB3tvL35gbTRDeCzZKQYng\" name=\"DJI_20250106003846_0092_D.JPG\" alt=\"Two Razer Blade 16s side by side, glowing blue in a dark hotel suite.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-new-aggressively-priced-razer-blade-16-is-slimmer-sleeker-amd-strix-point-equipped-and-may-just-be-the-asus-g16-competitor-ive-been-hoping-for-1.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"inlinegallery-item\" style=\"flex: 0 0 auto;\"><span class=\"slidecount\">Image 3 of 3<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure \" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:3840px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"AuUiMEcBq9SEum7Qr6ieeA\" name=\"DJI_20250106004318_0102_D (1)\" alt=\"The underside of the Razer Blade 16, showing the \"bump\" that allows for better cooling while keeping the form factor slim.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-new-aggressively-priced-razer-blade-16-is-slimmer-sleeker-amd-strix-point-equipped-and-may-just-be-the-asus-g16-competitor-ive-been-hoping-for-2.jpg\" mos=\"\" link=\"\" align=\"\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"3840\" height=\"2160\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\"\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>And that&#8217;s before we get to the hardware inside.

That&#8217;s a 12-core 24-thread monster, and thanks to the Radeon 890M iGPU onboard, the top Blade should be capable of some decent gaming performance away from the wall socket, too.<\/p>\n<p>GPUs? Well, &#8220;next-gen Nvidia&#8221; models are all I&#8217;ve been told, so that&#8217;s pretty exciting in and of itself. Which GPUs in particular is still unknown, but combined with those speedy AMD chips and a decent dose of DDR5, I&#8217;m expecting great things from the performance if it can keep those components cool.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of which, the Blade makes use of a new thermal interface gel, ultra-thin .05 mm exhaust fans, and an improved thermal surface area coverage of 57% compared to the previous model. Razer hopes all this tech will make this machine just as cool to handle as it looks, although cool is a relative term when it comes to gaming laptops.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:4032px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"9qNQSuPsADXfBHnSeuQGG5\" name=\"20250105_164403\" alt=\"The Razer Blade 16 at CES 2025, on a glass table and with its keyboard lit up in blue.\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/the-new-aggressively-priced-razer-blade-16-is-slimmer-sleeker-amd-strix-point-equipped-and-may-just-be-the-asus-g16-competitor-ive-been-hoping-for-3.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"4032\" height=\"2268\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Future)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Not a shrieking, throttling, roaring mess is really the goal here, something that the G16 manages to pull off rather well.
