As of 8 April, punters trying to preorder the Blade 16 in the US are greeted with a 404 error page. Its product page now offers nothing but a limp “notify me” button. Just a week earlier, the preorder configurator was live and kicking, according to the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

The firm’s Public Relations Manager, Andy Johnston, was tight-lipped when The Verge got on the blower about the fallout from Trump’s tariffs, offering only, “We do not have a comment at this stage regarding tariffs.”

It’s not just the Blade 16 vanishing into the ether—Razer’s US site is effectively gutted of laptops entirely. Shoppers can still bag skins and accessories, but even newly launched gear, like its touted laptop stand, is stuck behind a “notify me” wall. Meanwhile, in Canada, the same stand is listed at $99.99 CA (€68) and the Blade 16 configurator still works—hinting at a clear geopolitical sales split.

Razer’s silence echoes similar moves elsewhere. Framework pulled its entry-level Laptop 13 from the US store on 7 April, and Micron has already warned buyers to brace for chip surcharges starting tonight.

The Razer Blade 16 has received high praise from reviewers, with overall ratings indicating it is an excellent gaming laptop. The consensus across recent reviews is that it offers significant power and performance improvements, with a thinner, lighter, and quieter design compared to its predecessors. it was also going to be a good rival for the MacBook.
