Well, there’s always the Zephyrus G14.

Zephyrus is doing really well at beating Razer in their own game.

I assume they will get quickly snatched up as well.

Nah, the G16s will be snatched up first since they have a superior TDP. I don’t believe the 5070 Ti G14 will be snatched up too quickly by AI workers because it’s in the middle in terms of GPUs. They’re probably going for the 5090 PCs and bigger laptops first.

@Vic
My bad… just remembered that neither model has the 5090.

G16 does have the 5090; G14 only goes up to 5080.

Ngl, the 5090 laptop would only be worth it if it had a mode for 9-hour battery life. I really doubt anyone could make that happen. PLEASE RAZER, make a 10-hour lasting laptop with a 5090 and my life is yours!

@Sky
I’m sure the 2025 model will have much better battery life than the previous models now that they’re using AMD.

@Sky
I would think this one should have no problems hitting 9 hours with the Ryzen CPU as long as you disable the dGPU. The Zephyrus G16s with Ryzen CPUs from 2024 were already pushing over 10 hours.

I’m starting to think these are total marketing plays to create FOMO and impulse buys for overpriced hardware, including desktop GPUs.

Yes, definitely. When I read ‘hyper-efficient,’ I knew it was a marketing bullshit post.

Is this just about Razer Blades with 5090s or the Razer Blade 16 2025 in general?

The Blade 16 SKU with the 5090 GPU.

That’s good to hear as I’m after a 5070 Ti model.

How is this laptop with the 5090 having AI performance superior to others? Can we normal people make some side hustle from having this high-end 5090 GPU for AI applications?

No.

I think this is BS. Why would they only be after Razer? Especially since there will be better performing alternatives? Why use a laptop instead of a desktop/server? Even 5090 laptop variants are still weak compared to desktop cards. Why now and not when AI was more hyped? There might be a shortage, but not because of AI; it will be due to production issues.

That’s ridiculous. Why would someone buy a disfigured 5090 laptop for huge money when they can buy GPUs with multiple times the power for less cost?

The 5090 laptop is indeed a game changer for developers. 8GB more VRAM is a massive improvement for training or running AI models.
