Chassis design
The Razer Blade chassis has an aluminum unibody design for durability and an anodized finish for increased resistance.
This generation, the Blade 14, Blade 16 and now the Blade 18 are all available in the signature black and mercury finishes at launch.
And it features Calman Verified displays across the entire lineup, ensuring every panel is expertly calibrated and provides a professional-grade experience out-of-the-box.
With Dynamic Lighting support now available for Windows 11, the Razer Chroma ecosystem lets users control their Razer Chroma RGB devices as well as participating third-party devices in one place with the Razer Chroma app for a more cohesive RGB experience.
These laptops also come with a month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, giving players access to hundreds of high-quality games on PC, console, and cloud.
The Razer Blade 18 (2024) sells for $3,100 on Razer.com, and it’s coming soon to RazerStores and authorized resellers.
