Summary

• Razer has suspended pre-orders for its laptops due to anticipated tariffs imposed by the U.S. government.
• The official reasoning for this move has not yet been disclosed.
• Razer’s laptops may return for sale once internal pricing adjustments are made in response to these tariffs.

Razer has abruptly removed the pre-order option for its latest gaming laptops on its U.S. website. While no formal explanation has been provided, it appears to be linked to imminent tariffs affecting imported goods in the United States.

As of April 5, a new 10% baseline tariff is in effect, but further escalated tariffs looms for imports from multiple countries, prompting concerns across the tech industry. The absence of Razer laptops, replaced by accessories on its sales page, raises questions regarding future availability and potential price hikes for gamers.

The company’s European site still lists its laptops for pre-order, indicating that regional tariff implications may influence availability. In particular, laptops manufactured in China may be subject to tariffs as high as 104%, leading to speculation that price adjustments are necessary before re-listing products for the U.S. market. As the situation develops, consumers can expect an ongoing dialogue about the economic impacts of such trade policies.
