Razer likes to position its hardware with a design-focused premium along the lines of Apple, and the Razer Blade 16 certainly earns a “Macbook of gaming laptops” nickname with an aluminum unibody housing and an absolutely massive touchpad. But you won’t find Apple silicon inside it. The Blade 16 we tested was powered by an Intel Core i9-13950HX processor paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4090 handling graphics, allowing the laptop to play most games at full 4K resolutions without an issue. And with a price tag starting at $2,699 ($4,299 for the model we reviewed), it even feels like you’re paying the Apple tax, too.
