89.5% Extremely fast, but comparatively quiet gamer - Razer Blade 18 2025 RTX 5090 laptop review | Notebookcheck
Razer's new Blade 18 2025 aims to deliver maximum gaming performance with the GeForce RTX 5090 mobile GPU, and a dual-mode display that supports up to 440 Hz. The improved cooling is impressive, and the Blade 18 is one of the quieter models when gaming. However, the new design doesn't really hit the spot.
93% Razer Blade 18 (2025) Review: Unapologetic Powerhouse
Source: 91mobiles English
The Razer Blade 18 (2025) is the kind of machine that doesn't just meet expectations but casually steps over them. It handles nearly everything you'd want from a portable workstation–gaming hybrid, and then does a bit more simply because it can. If you're editing timelines by day and deleting lobbies by night, this is the ultimate treat-yourself laptop. With its monster CPU–GPU combo, that wonderfully versatile Dual-Mode Display, and Thunderbolt 5 turning your desk into a command centre, the Blade 18 stops being "just a luxury gaming laptop" and starts feeling like an entire lifestyle upgrade. As for competitors, the MSI Titan 18 HX AI is a fantastic alternative and will squeeze out a few extra frames, plus the Gen 5 SSD does give it a tiny speed edge. But design matters, too.

85% Razer Blade 18 2025 Gaming Laptop Review
Source: CG Mag Online English
The Blade 18 is a great update to Razer’s gaming Laptop lineup. While it has a few small issues, the overall user experience is stellar and provides everything you need for a desktop replacement experience. While some small design choices and thermal dissipation from the palm rest and keyboard hold it back from being perfect, the Blade 18 is nonetheless a superb gaming laptop worthy of its moniker. A solid update to the Blade 18, this latest iteration of Razer’s desktop replacement is an impressive performer that suffers from some minor design flaws. Ultimately, it holds its ground against other competitors in its weight class.

2025 Razer Blade 18 Review
Source: Mobile Tech Review English
The Razer Blade 18 gets a redesign with improved cooling and longer key travel this year in addition to an update to the excellent Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX CPU and your choice of NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti, 5080 and 5090 GPUs. It has a dual mode 500 nit wide gamut IPS display that does 4K+ at 240Hz and FHD+ at 440Hz. It has a per key RGB keyboard with number pad, Thunderbolt 5, ample ports, upgradable internals and the usual CNC aluminum chassis with an anodized black finish. As ever, it’s expensive, but given price increases from other brands in 2025, the price delta isn’t as high vs. competitors like the ASUS ROG Strix Scar 18 and Alienware 18 Area-51 that are currently priced similarly in the US.

96% Razer Blade 18 review: I love this monstrous gaming laptop
Source: PC World English
Of all the gaming laptops we’ve tested, I think that the $3,349 Alienware 16 Area-51 AW30 offers the most bang for your buck, though it’s a smaller 16-inch machine. But aside from the truly abysmal battery life — which, to be fair, is typical of most gaming laptops anyway — the Razer Blade 18 shines. I wondered whether Razer’s goal of a thin, “light” gaming laptop would fall short. A typical 18-inch gaming laptop weighs about eight pounds, while the Blade 18 comes in just above seven pounds. As our performance tests indicate, it certainly doesn’t fall short. My main gripe is that Windows doesn’t smoothly handle shifting between the two screen modes, which means near-constant UI adjustments. The stiff charger and quirky boot sequence add minor annoyances, though Synapse remains an exceptionally well-thought-out piece of software.

80% Razer Blade 18 (2025) review
Source: Tom's Guide English
Recommending laptops above $3000 is a tricky thing because they're simply the wrong choice for most people. First, the cost is beyond the scope of most users. Second, the considerable size, along with greatly reduced battery life, limits its use as a portable computer. A desktop replacement laptop is a lot like a Lamboghini Urus or Bentley Bentayga: just because it technically has the ability, more than likely it will never go off-road. From a strict value perspective in getting the most gaming performance for the money, the Blade 18 doesn't make much sense – NO gaming laptop does. Any number of mid- to high-level desktops, including a quality gaming monitor, are available for $3000 - $5000. Not only will they cost less than the Blade, they will also game at significantly higher framerates since desktops don't have the same power and thermal restraints as laptops.

90% Razer Blade 18 (2025) — It's huge, heavy, and expensive, but it's undoubtedly still the world's best gaming laptop
Source: Windows Central English
Razer's new iteration of the Blade 18 (2025) is exactly what you expect it would be: an all-out showcase of the world's most powerful gaming laptop hardware. It's a weighty monster that'll crush any game you throw at it, as long as you're on AC power and have space to set it up and wear some headphones when you're playing, because the fans still get loud — tornado loud. You could happily settle for an 'entry-level' RTX 5070 Ti variant at a more sensible price, but you also could get the absolute best in the business with a 5090 if you really wanted to.

Razer: Razer USA Ltd. is a US hardware manufacturer founded in 1998. The focus is on gaming devices as well as accessories, traditionally computer mice and mouse pads. The products are often named after mythical creatures or animals. However, Razer laptops are also offered under the series name "Blade". Razer has also released a VOIP software called Razer Comms.


These graphics cards are able to play the latest and most demanding games in high resolutions and full detail settings with enabled Anti-Aliasing.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Laptop: The GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile uses the GB203 chip and utilizes 10,496 shaders / CUDA cores of the maximum 10,752 that the chip has. This makes the RTX 5090 Laptop more similar to the RTX 5080 desktop variant (same chip) than the Desktop RTX 5090 with 20,760 cores and higher clock rates.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 Laptop: A fast graphics card from the Blackwell family for laptops that is based on the GB203 chip and uses 8,192 shaders and 16 GB GDDR7 graphics memory (256-bit graphics bus).

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Intel Arrow Lake:

Ultra 9 275HX: Mobile high-end CPU for gaming notebooks based on the Arrow Lake architecture. Offers 24 cores consisting of 8 fast performance cores with up to 5.4 GHz and 16 smaller efficiency cores with up to 4.6 GHz clock speed. The CPU can access 40 MB L2 cache and 36 MB L3 cache and is specified with a TDP of 55 watts. The SoC integrates a small dedicated NPU called AI Boost with 13 TOPS (Int8) and optionally supports vPro Essentials.

3 kg:

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.

3.173 kg:

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.


88.86%: This is an above-average rating. Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that about one fifth of all tested models receive a better rating.
