Consumer electronics and gaming hardware manufacturer Razer's upcoming Blade 16 and other laptops are no longer available for preorder or purchase on its U.S. site, according to The Verge.
The configurator for preordering its new Blade 16 laptop was available as recently as April 1, according to the Internet Archive — just one day before the Trump administration announced U.S. tariffs on China, Taiwan, and others that make laptop components.
Razer may not be openly talking about the impact of tariffs, but laptop manufacturer Framework halted sales of its entry-level Laptop 13 in the U.S. yesterday, and Micron reportedly confirmed that surcharges for its memory chips will apply once the tariffs take effect after midnight tonight.
