Razer’s Blade 18 is its biggest-screened Blade to date. It’s thin, powerful, and colorful, like last year’s Blade 17, but brings some new software features, a QHD webcam, and some hefty performance with Intel’s 13th Gen CPU and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 4080.

The Razer Blade 18 is large, has an exceptionally fine display, and robust build quality. Plus, it’s upgradability is a great future-proofing feature. Yet it slightly trails key rivals in the performance stakes and is pricier too.

The Razer Blade 18 is a strong argument for the existence of 18-inch gaming laptops, offering enough screen real estate and raw power to make the latest PC games look great. However, its poor battery life and sheer size make it ill-suited for gaming on the go.

The Razer Blade 18 is a very capable laptop with high-end specs and a build quality that is arguably as good as it gets. This makes the most sense if you’re specifically looking for something larger and with this sort of premium craftsmanship, as otherwise, the Blade 16 is more portable and more affordable. For a Razer laptop, at least.

El Razer Blade 18 es grande, tiene una pantalla excepcionalmente buena y una calidad de construcción robusta. Además, su capacidad de actualización es una gran ventaja de cara al futuro. Sin embargo, está ligeramente por detrás de sus principales rivales en cuanto a rendimiento y también es más caro.
