Razer is known for making a splash at CES, and 2025 is no exception, with a range of new announcements spanning Razer Blade laptops, mobile devices, and software.
Each year at CES, Razer consistently delivers unique and innovative ideas to the convention halls of Las Vegas. From new concept products to iterations of its established lineup, Razer has always impressed. Based on what we’ve seen from the 2025 lineup, the company is continuing that trend.
Since the release of its first laptops, the Razer Blade has been one of the best gaming-focused laptops available. The newest 2025 model builds on that reputation. The Blade 16 represents a significant evolution in portable gaming hardware, showcasing Razer’s thinnest gaming laptop to date. Measuring just 0.59 inches thick, the new model is 32 per cent thinner than its predecessor. For the first time, the 2025 Blade 16 introduces AMD hardware to the lineup, featuring AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 processors. This addition is designed to enhance performance for both gaming and AI-enabled applications, further broadening the Blade series’ capabilities.
The Blade 16 features a QHD+ OLED panel running at 240Hz with an impressive 0.2ms response time. The display promises sharp visuals and smooth motion, crucial for competitive gaming. The laptop also includes a custom vapour chamber cooling system to maintain performance in its ultra-thin frame. Additionally, Razer has improved the keyboard, increasing key travel by 50 per cent to 1.5mm for a more satisfying typing experience.
The Razer Blade 16 is scheduled for release in Q1 2025, though pricing details have yet to be announced.
To keep gaming laptops cool, Razer has introduced its latest innovation aimed at pushing performance beyond factory limits with its new HyperBoost technology. The system works in tandem with the Razer Laptop Cooling Pad to enhance the capabilities of select Razer Blade models.
The technology increases power limits by supplementing the laptop’s built-in vapour chamber cooling system with additional heat dissipation. This enhancement allows compatible Razer Blade laptops to deliver superior responsiveness and higher frame rates during intensive gaming sessions.
Management of the HyperBoost feature is integrated through Razer’s Synapse software, providing users with control over their system’s performance parameters. The technology is being offered as a complimentary update for eligible Razer Blade models, specifically targeting those from 2023 and 2024.
While Razer has introduced this performance-enhancing technology, specific pricing details for the Laptop Cooling Pad component have yet to be disclosed.
Razer’s CES lineup wasn’t just about laptops—mobile gaming also took centre stage with the Handheld Dock Chroma. This new dock aims to transform mobile gaming devices into comprehensive gaming stations. The compact 6-in-1 dock enhances connectivity options for phones, tablets, and handheld gaming devices while incorporating Razer’s signature RGB lighting aesthetics.
The dock’s versatile design includes a gigabit Ethernet port for stable online gaming, multiple USB connections, and HDMI output capabilities, allowing gamers to create a complete gaming setup from their mobile devices. Built with durability in mind, the aluminum construction features a foldable design for easy transportation, making it ideal for gamers on the move. As expected, power delivery is a focus, with the dock providing 100W pass-through charging to keep devices powered during extended gaming sessions, and this is all while being incredibly thin and sleek, as we have come to expect from Razer.
The Handheld Dock Chroma will be available for pre-order starting January 7, 2025, at $79.99, with a wider retail release scheduled for January 30, 2025.
Last but not least, Razer announced a new software solution aimed at making gaming away from your desk easier than ever with PC Remote Play. This technology aims to revolutionize mobile gaming by enabling players to stream their PC games directly to mobile devices. The feature works in conjunction with the Kishi Ultra controller to deliver full-resolution gaming experiences on the go.
The technology integrates with the Razer Nexus app, allowing gamers to browse and launch their PC game library directly from their mobile devices without requiring any subscription fees. What sets this solution apart is its implementation of Razer Sensa HD Haptics for Android devices, which provides tactile feedback to enhance the gaming experience.
Razer also announced a range of new products aimed at making your PC and gaming setup as comfortable and RGB-filled as possible, and unveiled two new concept projects, Project Ava and Project Arielle at CES 2025.
