According to Razer, the Blade 18 is “the most powerful Razer Blade ever”. The Blade 18 is powered by an 18-inch dual-mode display, which allows for seamless switching between 3840×2400 pixels (UHD+) with a 240Hz refresh rate for crisp detail and 1920×1200 pixels (FHD+) with a 440Hz refresh rate at maximum speed. Razer lists a 3.0ms response time and 100% DCI P3 color space coverage. The display is factory calibrated and “Calman verified.” RTX 5090 Laptop GPU MIT Core Ultra 200hx
The Blade 18 can be equipped with 175 watts up to an NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 5090 laptop GPU and uses processors on Intel’s Core Ultra 200hx, whereby only the Intel Ultra 9 Core 275HX can be selected, which is up to 5.4 GHz with 24 cores and 24 threads. The notebook amounts to a total power of 280 watts (175 watts CPU + 105 watts GPU), for which the cooling solution also had to be adjusted and designed accordingly. According to Razer, the Blade 18 uses the thinnest exhaust air slats in its class and relies on a 3-fan system that is supposed to divert heat quickly and efficiently.
The technology is housed in an aluminum unibody, which is equipped with a sandblasted texture. The anodized Matt surface combines color with metal and is equipped with a fingerprint-resistant coating.
