The launch edition boasts an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU, prioritizing performance over the efficiency-focused Core Ultra 9 185H. Other specs include a 16" QHD+ 240Hz display, 32GB DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. This configuration undercuts the similarly specced Razer Blade 16 by approximately $500.

Shipping Timeline

HP anticipates shipments to commence in early to mid-March. Given the RTX 50-series mobile GPUs are new, benchmarks are currently unavailable.

Alternative: Razer Blade Laptops

Razer's 2025 gaming laptops, the Blade 16 and Blade 18, are also open for preorders at Razer.com. They offer Intel and Ryzen processor options (depending on model) and RTX 5000-series mobile GPUs (RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 5080, and RTX 5090). Preorders include bonus accessories.

Razer Blades are renowned for their premium build quality. The unibody aluminum chassis is exceptionally thin and light, achieved through a proprietary cooling system featuring a vacuum-sealed, liquid-filled copper vapor chamber. This sophisticated engineering justifies their higher price point.
