Updated:Razer will launch high-end gaming laptops Blade 2025 and Blade 50 equipped with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 16 series graphics cards in 18. The order page has been removed from the US official website, leaving onlyProduct introduction pageCurrently, only the entry-level Blade 14 is retained for sale, but the Blade 16 and Blade 18 can still be ordered on the official website outside the United States. This is obviously an adjustment made in response to the impact of the new US tariff policy.
Because the Trump administration announced a new tariff policy effective April 4, affecting the price of Framework's customized Laptop 5 laptops, which were originally scheduled to be available for pre-order on April 4, Framework said it would remove some optional processor specifications from its US official website to avoid its products being sold at a loss.
According to information released by Framework, its product pricing is based on the assumption that no additional taxes are imposed on products imported from Taiwan. Therefore, if additional tax costs must be added, it will result in sales at a loss.
Therefore, Framework stated that it will cancel processor options including Intel Core Ultra 5 125H and AMD Ryzen 5 7640U, but will still retain Intel Core Ultra 7 155H, Core Ultra 7 165H, as well as AMD Ryzen AI 300 series and some Ryzen 7040 series processor options (but the Ryzen 5 7640U processor specification is still available on the official website).
Due to the new tariffs that came into effect on April 5th, we're temporarily pausing US sales on a few base Framework Laptop 13 systems (Ultra 5 125H and Ryzen 5 7640U). For now, these models will be removed from our US site. We will continue to provide updates as we have them.

Framework's approach is to retain high-end specifications for the US market, while maintaining specifications for other markets. Framework also stated that other consumer brands are taking similar approaches, though they haven't publicly stated this.
Similarly, Nintendo, which previously announced the Nintendo Switch 2, is now also available in the US market.Suspend pre-order activities, saying it will evaluate the impact of tariff policies, but emphasized that it will continue to sell in the US market on June 6 this year.
Other brands also affected by tariffs include Apple, Samsung, etc. Many of their products sold in large quantities in the US market are produced or assembled in Taiwan, China, Vietnam, India and other places. Under the influence of Trump's new tariff policy, sales prices in the US market may rise sharply.
