Razer Blade 18 (2024) Review

Best-in-class sleek metal build ; Blazing-fast performance ; 300Hz QHD+ mini LED or 4K 200Hz IPS panel ; Loads of upgradable memory and storage ; Thunderbolt 5 support

Expensive starting price and prohibitive as tested ; Poor battery life

The Blade 18 delivers for its subset of deep-pocketed enthusiasts seeking a sleek and premium big-screen gaming laptop. However, its short battery life and sky-high price hold it back from top marks.

Razer Blade 18 2024

This imposing gaming laptop gets a future-forward upgrade and has the power to handle any game you can throw at it.

Slick, understated design. Powerful graphics performance. Mini LED display sets a new bar for stunningly bright screens. 300-Hz refresh rate for ultrasmooth gameplay. Includes the first Thunderbolt 5 port.

Expensive. Middling battery life for typical work. Large 18-inch size is bulky and better suited to use on a desk while plugged in.

Razer Blade Advanced: One of our favorite gaming designs, but be prepared to pay for it

The 15-inch Razer Blade makes the jump to new Nvidia RTX graphics, but even the entry level RTX model is expensive.

Typically great Razer design, at its best in the alternate Mercury White color scheme. Excellent performance, especially considering the small size. One of the only gaming laptops with a very thin screen bezel.

Faster RTX 2070 and RTX 2080 GPUs are not available in the white color scheme. The system can get very hot, which has led to some online complaints.

The Razer Blade 15-inch gaming laptop keeps up with the Nvidia RTX trend. The base model feels expensive, but the higher-end version hits a good mix of price and performance.

Razer Blade (2015, QHD+) review: A gaming laptop in a class by itself

Razer's Blade is a rare thin-and-light laptop that has the features and performance of a gaming system. And it looks damn good, too.

The Razer Blade is an impressive laptop thanks to its gorgeous display, responsive keyboard and touchpad, and excellent gaming performance for its size. It looks good, too.

It comes with the territory, but the bottom back of the Blade can get very hot, and the fans can get quite loud trying to cool it down. This kind of performance in a thin-and-light body doesn't come cheap.

Whether it's for gaming, multimedia enjoyment, work or all of the above, the Razer Blade is a fantastic choice if you need high performance but don't want to sacrifice mobility to get it.

Razer Blade (2015)

The newest Razer Blade boasts impressive features and great performance, making it the ultraportable gaming machine to beat.

Sleek, light design. Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) display with 3,200-by-1,800 resolution and touch capability. Intel Core i7-4720HQ CPU and 16GB memory. Nvidia GeForce GTX 970M GPU. Improved performance and battery life over previous iteration.

Gets very hot. Discrepancy between graphics and display capability.

Conclusion With a new processor and graphics card, the Razer Blade (2015) delivers better graphics performance and longer battery life than its predecessor, fixing two of the bigger problems I had with the 2014 Blade. Heat is still a big concern, but...

The 2015 Razer Blade Review

The 2013 Razer Blade was a great gaming system with a not so great display. For 2014, Razer outfitted the Blade with a Sharp IGZO 3200x1800 display, as well as a faster GPU. The GeForce GTX 870M was a pretty potent graphics card, and the improved...

For 2015, we have a new Razer Blade, which on the outside is a dead ringer for last year’s model. We have the same design, the same keyboard, trackpad, strong aluminum body, and fantastic QHD+ display. All of those features were already excellent on...
