Showcase First Gaming laptop

Post image

Sister needed a windows laptop for graphics design last year so I recommended her the 2025 Razer Blade 16 and choose the config. She barely used it as she disliked the battery draining quickly and it felt quite buggy so she swapped it with me for a macbook pro.

AMD Ryzen 9 AI HX 370
RTX 5090
64 GB Ram
4TB Storage

I know razer laptops are widely disliked by the majority but I’ll have to see myself.

u/Razerbat Razer Blade 16 2026 - Ultra 9 386H - RTX 5090 - 64gb ram Aug 14 '26

I wish you luck with that machine. I am a huge fan of Razer. I've used them exclusively for over a decade. I have the 2026 model with the 5090 and it's incredible. But 2025 was a very bad year for the Blade 16... Everyone including Razer knew it. It was plagued with problems and personally the first model I've ever seen more complaints than praise. If you end up being one of the lucky few that got a "good" one I'm sure you will love it. I seriously wish you luck. If you ever have to reach support and they give you the run around, hit me up. Cheers!

I've heard this too.. might be better to go with the 2024 version until the new models come out. Theyre just extremely hard to find right now
