With Trump Tariffs Looming, Razer Stops Accepting New Laptop Orders
PCMag editors select and review products independently. If you buy through affiliate links, we may earn commissions, which help support our testing. PC vendor Razer has stopped accepting new laptop orders, presumably due to President Trump's reciprocal tariffs. has mysteriously delisted all laptop products in the US, including the upcoming Razer Blade 16. Instead, the site is only offering various accessories. Its Canada site continues to take laptop orders and preorders. For now, Razer is remaining mum on the change, telling The Verge, 'We do not have a comment at this stage regarding tariffs.' But we wouldn't be surprised if the company is taking a page from Nintendo and reviewing potential price changes to offset cost increases from Trump's tariffs, which take effect on Wednesday. Framework Computer, another PC vendor, has also temporarily discontinued several base models of the company's 13-inch laptop, citing Trump's tariffs on Taiwan. 'We priced our laptops when tariffs on imports from Taiwan were 0%. At a 10% tariff, we would have to sell the lowest-end SKUs at a loss,' the company said. In a tweet, Framework also claims that rival PC makers have been quietly delisting lower-priced products in response to the tariffs. Indeed, MSI's online store seems to have stopped accepting new laptop orders as well; the site is only showing a 'notify me' option. Trump's reciprocal tariffs are expected to affect a wide range of consumer electronics since most are made in the tariffed countries, including China, Vietnam, India, Malaysia, and Cambodia. Entry-level products, which have thin margins between their manufacturing cost and final price, will see the most impact, forcing vendors to raise prices, analysts have told PCMag. 'As far as I can tell, almost all consumer electronics categories would be better off being bought sooner rather than later, especially given the latest threat of an additional 50% tariff on China,' said Ishan Dutt, an analyst with Canalys. On Wednesday, Trump plans on raising tariffs on Chinese imports to 104%, which threatens to drastically raise prices for many products.
