After unveiling the “world’s first” 240Hz OLED and 4K display tech on its new Blade gaming laptops earlier this year at CES 2024, Razer is upping the ante again. Described as “the most powerful Blade ever,” today Razer is officially taking the wraps off its new Razer Blade 18 gaming laptop. The “pinnacle of high-performance gaming laptops” builds upon the success of its “award-winning” Blade 16 and 14 models that debuted earlier this year, setting what Razer calls a “new benchmark for gaming and creative work with its unrivaled desktop-grade performance.” You can give it a closer look down below.
