The US Administration has opted to place tariffs on many countries across the world. As a result, we've seen many products being pulled from sale. The Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders were recently pulled in the US so Nintendo can assess the impact the new tariffs will have. Now, Razer has paused sales of its Razer Blade laptops in the US too.
Currently on the Razer store, you cannot order a Blade laptop within the US. All of the buy buttons have been replaced by a ‘Notify Me' button, and it is unclear when the laptops will become available to purchase direct from Razer once again.
While not officially stated, the timing of this pause does raise the question – is Razer reassessing its pricing in the face of massive tariffs from the United States?
Currently, the US is the only country where Razer Blade laptop sales have been paused. You can still order them directly from Razer in Europe, and as Hot Hardware points out, they remain available in Australia too.
This move comes at an odd time, as Razer was just about to make its new flagship Blade laptops available, kitted out with the latest generation CPUs and new RTX 50 series graphics.

KitGuru Says: Businesses across the US are still assessing how much of an impact these tariffs will have. We expect to see Blade laptops made available again in the States eventually, but for now, anyone that was hoping to get their hands on one will have to go through other retail channels, or the second-hand market.
