Razer Blade 18 Gaming Laptop: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 - Intel Core i9 14900HX 14th Gen CPU - 18” QHD+ 300 Hz Mini LED Display - 32GB RAM - 2TB SSD - Thunderbolt 5 - Chroma RGB - Snap Tap

Simply perfection, I had to buy a used like new one here, because the Razer website was just not letting me checkout, I would never buy a used like new on a product like this, but thankfully it was literally brand new looking, and it performs flawlessly

I got this Blade 18 recently. I bought it after doing a lot of search. The performance is on par with other top 2024 gaming laptops. But the build quality is another level. It is like a larger MacBook. Also, noise level is very important for me and it is almost silent at low workloads. The monitor is THE BEST monitor I've seen on any laptop. I don't even understand the 1 star review that says "Make a limited edition white with candy red and gold streaks". Why people write random reviews? Anyways, you will not regret getting this (expensive) beast.

You know, when you spend almost 5 grand on a laptop, you'd expect it to last for a while. My old 'gaming' laptop, that I wind up using for business, has an RTX 2060. It's been a great laptop, but the 14" screen is too small for my old eyes. I opted to replace it with this Razer Blade (2024) model as Razer Blade has the reputation for being the best. I want my new laptop to last a good 7-9 years. I got the laptop, booted it, performed the MS updates. I rebooted again, I got blue screens saying that the hard drive was inaccessible. I didn't have the time to mess with the laptop for another day. When I went to boot it, I got a blue screen and a red light on the front of the laptop. I figured that if it was just a bad hard-drive, no biggie as I had planned to either replace the 2TB NVMe that it came with, with a 4TB NVMe (or just add the second drive as this computer can supposedly accept two NVMe drives. Before opening the system, I decided to attempt to recover the OS. It didn't work locally -- couldn't access the drive. I researched recovering the OS on the razer blade website. It was rather cumbersome, but I managed to figure out how to download the image. I attempted to load it, which of course failed. I figured that maybe their image had issues and since I wanted Windows 11 Pro instead of home, I went to Microsoft's website and spent $200 on a Windows 11 Pro license. Couldn't load the image from MS. I had the red light on the front of the laptop. About 3 minutes later, the laptop powered off. With the battery being fully charged and the laptop power supply plugged in, I knew the laptop hadn't powered off due to a dead battery. I tried pressing the power button a few times but the system would not power on. This is my first foray into the world of Razer Blade. It will be my last. I returned the laptop as I didn't want to take a chance (and wait) on 'warranty' work. You blew it, Razer Blade. Crappy reliability and a cumbersome recovery process. I have already purchased a 27" monitor to use with my old laptop and a new wireless keyboard and mouse. Now I can see it and I'll save the 5 grand that I now have invested in it. Your mileage may vary, but I think I'll still with the ASUS ROG. I've never had a problem with their systems, pre-made or built myself.

Runs great. Took a little tweaking to get it to work with the USB thunderbolt hub and to get it to charge properly. Had to turn off the USB charging in the bios. Steady frames and temps in multiple games on ultra.

Very nice the monster
