GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 (laptop variant) — optional; base configs may use lower RTX tiers
Display: 18″ dual-mode (UHD+ 3840×2400 @240Hz or FHD+ 1920×1200 @440Hz)

Storage: up to 4TB NVMe SSD (often 2x 2TB)

Performance & thermals

In testing the Blade 18 handles demanding games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Overwatch 2 at high settings. Example results: ~131 fps in Cyberpunk 2077 at native ~4K+ with frame generation enabled; 300+ fps in Overwatch 2 at high-settings when using the high-refresh mode. The laptop runs cool for a thin chassis (CPU averaging ~70–80°C under stress, GPU around ~70°C), but fans can get loud.

Price & availability

MSRPs vary by configuration. Base models start around $2,799–$3,499; top configurations with RTX 5090, 64GB RAM and 4TB SSD can push past $4,500–$5,000. The Blade 18 is sold through Razer’s store and retail channels; availability on Amazon US varies by configuration and time.
