The Blade 16’s product page<\/a>, which recently included a pre-order link, now only offers a measly “Notify me” button. In addition, its configurator page, which allowed you to choose a graphics card, processor and other specs as recently as a few days ago, now draws a 404 error. You can still pre-order it in Europe<\/a> and other regions.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Razer’s laptop product page<\/a> for US customers now only includes live order links for items like skins, docks and cooling pads.<\/p>\n Although Razer hasn’t publicly linked the pause to Trump’s tariffs, it isn’t hard to connect the two. The levies are scheduled to kick in at 12:01AM ET tonight, dramatically affecting companies that build products in or source parts from countries like China and Taiwan. Tariffs are a tax on imported foreign goods, and businesses often pass the higher cost to consumers. Economists have estimated<\/a> that consumers will pay an extra $3,800 annually due to Trump’s policy \u2014 and that was before Trump announced additional tariffs on China, totaling<\/a> a staggering 104 percent.<\/p>\n Razer’s pause follows the halting of Switch 2 US pre-orders<\/a> as Nintendo gauges the situation and ponders its next move. Similarly, Framework stopped selling some of its laptops<\/a> in the US, and Reuters<\/em> reported on Tuesday that memory chipmaker Micron plans<\/a> to add a surcharge to some products. Expect the “Liberation Day” hits to keep coming as tonight’s official beginning of the biggest US tax hike<\/a> since 1968 approaches.<\/p>\n
