With the option to customize the Razer Blade 18 for the RTX 5090 laptop GPU, it should be ready to handle anything you throw. The RTX 5070 TI is standard, while the extra cost of upgrading to the RTX 5080 is $500 and the RTX 5090 costs $1,300. All GPUs are paired with the Intel Core Ultra 9 275hx (5.4GHz), but the chassis is only 21.99mm thick. You can also choose SSD sizes, ranging from 1TB to 4TB. The same goes for memory, with the option of 32GB or 64GB models.

Apart from all the features, one of the most attractive features of the blade 18 is its new display. Razer says it's the “first” 18-inch dual-mode display, allowing you to run games with UHD+ resolutions of 3840×2400 and 240Hz refresh rate or FHD+ 1920×1200 and 440Hz REFRESH REFRESH rates.
