From PC World: Razer has launched the Razer Blade 18 laptop with what the company says are two firsts: an optional 18-inch, 200Hz 4K panel and Thunderbolt 5 capabilities.
Pricing on the updated, New Razer Blade 18 is apparently somewhat variable: it’s listed as starting at $2,899.99, but Razer is apparently selling it for $2,699.99. However, Razer’s buying page says that the Razer Blade 18 pricing begins at $3,099.99.
Razer is positioning the Blade 18 as a creator-class laptop, pre-installing Nvidia’s content-aligned Nvidia Studio drivers rather than its Game Ready drivers. But make no bones about it: This is a top-of-the-line gaming laptop, too. You’ll have the option of either buying a model with a 13th-gen Core i9-13950HX, or a more modern Core i9-14900HX, and pairing it with a Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060, 4070, 4080, or 4090.
Memory options range from 16, 32, or 64GB of DDR5-5600 memory, paired with either a 1TB, 2TB, or a 4TB PCIe 4.0 SSD configuration. (The latter is shipped as a pair of 2TB drives in adjoining M.2 slots.) Razer says that all of the Blade 18s will ship with two available M.2 slots, one of which will be filled with the stock SSD.
