Officially, NVIDIA has only unveiled mobile versions of its GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" GPU series, with models going as low as RTX 5070. During CES 2025, Jensen Huang's keynote address suggested a starting price of $1299 for gaming laptops equipped with the GB206, capable of up to 800 AI TOPS. Recent market trends have shown that "MSRP" recommendations are often seen as mere suggestions. Pre-orders for high-end to mid-range GeForce RTX 50-series laptops began on February 25, but the absence of the ROP (Raster Operations Pipeline) has caused delays for Blackwell's mobile versions. Reports indicate that necessary investigations have postponed initial deliveries to customers until April. It is likely that unannounced lower-end products, such as the GeForce RTX 5060 and RTX 5050 Mobile, are facing similar delays.
Today, momomo_us, a reliable source of pre-launch information, uncovered a purported new product document attributed to Razer. The American-Singaporean brand seems to be preparing multiple Razer Blade 16 (2025) SKUs, including a series labeled as "RZ09-0528." The leaked MSRP guide contains a significant error; Razer's upcoming flagship model, featuring an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370 "Strix Point" APU and GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile GPU, will not be priced at $1499. On the other end of Razer's spectrum, VideoCardz highlighted an OLED-equipped SKU priced at $1999, which will include a Ryzen AI 9 365 processor and the unannounced GeForce RTX 5060 Mobile GPU from Team Green. The expected high price is not surprising, considering Razer's reputation for premium pricing. Last week, retail outlets accidentally listed laptops powered by the "lowly" GeForce RTX 5050. The cheapest option was advertised at $1720 (including VAT). Based on these recent, possibly unfinished data points, industry experts anticipate high prices even for the most basic Blackwell mobile choices.
