The two notebooks Razer Blade 16 and Blade 18 are now available in stores. These are gaming laptops that also want to lure you in with a new overclocking feature. Both models were originally presented at CES 2023, but are only now actually available for purchase. Inside you will find the 13th generation Intel Core i9 HX and graphics solutions from the Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 series, which work with the maximum possible TGP.
Depending on your choice, you can use the RTX 4080 or even 4090 here. Depending on the model, displays with a 16 or 18 inch diagonal in a 16:10 format are used. The Razer Blade 16, for example, offers you an LC display with mini-LED backlighting, which, excitingly, can switch between two resolution modes and refresh rates: UHD+ with 120 Hz or FHD+ with 240 Hz.
In addition to the GPU variants mentioned, the Blade 18 uses either an Intel Core i9 13950HX or 13980HX CPU, with a standard 65 W TDP. It also offers a 6-speaker array with THX Spatial Audio and a 5 MP webcam. An update for the Razer Synapse software helps you out with the aforementioned CPU overclocking function. You’ll have access to customizable tuning parameters for CPU core voltage, permanent or temporary overclocking of performance at maximum wattage, and time window for performance boost.
