Razer has resumed selling laptops on its US website, following a sudden and unexplained halt in sales earlier this month. The move comes as a surprise, given the lack of official communication from the company regarding the initial pause. The Blade 16, which was launched with Nvidia's 50-series GPUs, is now available for purchase in certain configurations, but the availability of other models remains limited.

The sudden pause in sales was speculated to be a response to the ongoing tariff tumult, but Razer never responded to inquiries from The Verge about the issue. The company's website had pulled all Blade laptops from direct sales, including the new Blade 16, with preorders getting held up in US Customs. However, the situation seemed normal in other regions, such as Canada, where the laptops were still available for purchase.

Now, some configurations of the 2025 Blade 16 have reappeared on Razer's US website, but not all Blade laptops have returned to the online store. The 2024 Blade 16 models and preorders for the Blade 18, which were available before the sales pause, are nowhere to be seen for US customers. Furthermore, the 2025 Blade 16 is only available for immediate purchase with the RTX 5080 GPU, while the entry-level RTX 5070 Ti and flagship RTX 5090 configurations are only listed with "notify me" buttons.

The limited availability of the Blade 16 raises questions about Razer's strategy and inventory management. The review spec of the 5090 Blade 16, which was sent to The Verge for testing with 32GB of RAM and 1TB of storage for $4,499.99, is not available for purchase. Instead, the 5090 config is limited to 64GB of RAM and 4TB of storage for $4,899.99. This discrepancy has sparked confusion among potential buyers and industry observers.

Razer's Canadian website, on the other hand, offers a more comprehensive range of options, including the review spec of the 5090 Blade 16 and preorders for the Blade 18. The company's Adjustable Laptop Stand is also available for purchase on the Canadian site, priced at $99.99. The Verge has reached out to Razer for clarification on the situation, but the company has yet to respond.

The resumption of laptop sales in the US is a positive development for Razer, but the limited availability of its flagship Blade 16 model may impact the company's sales and revenue. The ongoing tariff tensions and supply chain disruptions continue to pose challenges for tech companies, and Razer's experience serves as a reminder of the complexities involved in global trade and commerce.

As the situation continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how Razer will address the limited availability of its laptops and the discrepancies between its US and Canadian websites. The company's silence on the matter has only added to the confusion, and it is essential for Razer to provide clear communication and transparency to its customers and stakeholders.
