Razer Laptop Sleeve 16” Adds Built-In Wireless Charging to Everyday Protection

Razer has just released a new laptop sleeve built for 16-inch laptops, and it does more than just protect your system from scratches and drops. Two wireless charging pads are located in the front of the device, allowing you to charge your phone and earbuds without the need for an outlet or a cable. So, you can place your iPhone on the lower pad for up to 15 watts of rapid charging, or AirPods on the upper pad for 5 watts. The good news is that both will continue to work even after you plug the sleeve into a USB-C charger with at least 30 watts.

With the design, they made a serious effort to cover users who have to carry laptops around all day. The sleeve has magnetic alignment snaps your devices into position and keeps them secure, even while you’re on the go. This ensures that the charging is always consistent, whether you’re in a conference or waiting for your gate to be called. One thing to keep in mind is that it does not have a built-in battery, so it will take power from whatever source you have connected in, such as your laptop charger, a wall adapter, or a portable power bank

Despite the extra charging feature, they did not overlook protection. A robust woven polyester shell can withstand the rigors of everyday life, and the reinforced edges are intended to absorb shocks. Inside, there’s a beautiful padded microfiber interior to cushion your laptop, and a snakeskin-patterned finish to keep it looking nice, while all of this weighs in at 410 grams, which is around 60 grams more than their normal non-charging version, thanks to the extra coils and expensive PU leather.

This sleeve is compatible with laptops up to 16 inches, including the latest Razer Blade models. If your smartphone is Qi-compatible, it will charge just fine; but, if you’re an Apple fan, you’ll be pleased to hear that the sleeve supports MagSafe, so you can simply slap your Air or Macbook onto the charging pad and feel that gratifying snap. The sleeve remains quite compact, so it will easily slip into a backpack or briefcase without taking up too much space.

How much? It costs $129.99, which is a little more than your standard sleeve, but the added convenience will be a blessing for travelers or multitaskers who are tired of their batteries dying in the middle of the day. Razer is currently offering it on their website, along with a plain $79.99 version that lacks the charging capability.
