Razer has officially unveiled its newest and most powerful laptop to date. The Blade 18 is now official with its massive 18-inch 200Hz 4K display, Thunderbolt 5 support, and the most powerful hardware from Intel and Nvidia.
The Razer Blade 18 2024 is a big Windows 11 laptop with a sleek aluminum unibody. It is powered by the Intel Core i9-14900HX and graphics cards ranging from the Nvidia RTX 4070 to RTX 4090 with a total of 175W TGP.
The laptop is among the first Windows notebooks to adopt the Thunderbolt 5 port, which can carry data at a whopping rate of up to 120Gbps. You can use it to connect high-speed drives or power several high-resolution displays.
Speaking of displays, the Razer Blade 18 has an optional configuration with a 200Hz 4K IPS display. Alternatively, buyers can spec the device with a QHD 300Hz mini-LED display that trades resolution in favor of a faster refresh rate, higher peak brightness, and better contrast thanks to local dimming zones.
The new Razer Blade 18 has a few extra aces up its sleeve. It is equipped with a six-speaker array with THX spatial audio support, Wi-Fi 7 connectivity, and a GaN charger, which can juice up the laptop at up to 330W while being 60% smaller than comparable silicon-based chargers.
Here is what Travis Furst, Head of the Notebook and Accessories Division at Razer, said about the Razer Blade 18:
