Razer just announced a refresh<\/a> to the popular Blade 18 gaming laptop. This model uses those newly-released Intel Core Ultra 200HX<\/a> series processors and can be purchased with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 GPU.<\/p>\n

As the name suggests, it also boasts a ginormous display, which Razer describes as \u201cthe world\u2019s first 18-inch dual mode display.\u201d This means that users can instantly switch between UHD+ at 240Hz for appreciating the finer details of AAA games and FHD+ at 440Hz for absolute speed.<\/p>\n

The keyboard has been fully redesigned, with a new scissor switch that allows for 35 percent more travel distance versus the previous generation, along with a 63g actuation force. There\u2019s a 10-key numeric keypad and dual-LED backlighting per key. Otherwise, the design remains mostly unchanged since the first Razer Blade 18 hit store shelves<\/a> back in 2023.<\/p>\n

Razer also promises \u201cdesktop levels of connectivity.\u201d To that end, there are a pair of Thunderbolt ports, including a Thunderbolt 5 port. It supports Wi-Fi 7, HDMI 2.1, Bluetooth 5.4 and Gigabit LAN. Each Blade 18 includes a six-speaker virtual surround sound system that supports THX Spatial Audio and a 5MP camera with a privacy shutter.<\/p>\n

The good news? Pre-orders are open right now. The bad news? This is a Razer Blade 18, so it\u2019s a real wallet-buster. Pricing starts at $3,200, but can shoot all the way up to $4,900 depending on RAM and storage configurations. Early adopters do get a free skin and a laptop stand.<\/p>\n

The company has also opened up pre-orders for the slightly smaller Razer Blade 16<\/a>. This ultra-thin laptop starts at $2,800, which is a $100 bump over its predecessor<\/a>.<\/p>\n
