Razer Laptop Pulled Over Trump Tariffs

U.S. tariffs introduced under the Trump administration are once again impacting American gamers, with Razer's Blade 16 gaming laptop now affected.

Import tariffs essentially function as taxes on the cost of bringing specific products into the country. Although companies along the supply chain can sometimes absorb these expenses, the additional costs typically get passed down to shoppers. For gaming enthusiasts, this unfortunately means that tech and gaming products are likely to see price increases.

In some cases, products are being temporarily withdrawn from sale. As reported by The Verge, while the Blade 16 was available for purchase in the U.S. as of April 1, the option to order the laptop has since been completely removed from Razer’s website.

European customers can currently order the latest gaming laptop (provided it’s in stock — it's unavailable in the UK), but the U.S. site only offers a "Notify Me" option for updates, with no pricing displayed. Attempting to visit the Buy Now page redirects to a 404 error.

Razer is not the only company discreetly removing sales information until market conditions stabilize. Tariffs targeting China and Taiwan — key regions for PC component manufacturing — will also impact U.S. consumers. Memory maker Micron, for instance, has cautioned about additional charges. Meanwhile, PC manufacturer Framework has completely "temporarily paused" some of its U.S. sales.

Last week, the Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order date — originally set for April 9 — was removed in the United States after Trump's import tariffs triggered financial market turmoil. Within days, the situation expanded to Canada, with Nintendo Canada confirming that pre-orders would be postponed there as well.

Nintendo fans and market analysts are growing concerned that Nintendo might further increase the price of the Switch 2 and its games, particularly following the mixed reception to the console's initial pricing announcement.
