These upgraded GPU configurations includeThunderbolt 5, a first for a laptop.

The Thunderbolt 5 standard provides single-direction bandwidth up to 120Gbps and 80Gbps of bi-directional bandwidth.

Thunderbolt 5 should be a boon for high-speed data transfer, low-latency display technology, and next-gen peripherals.

Of course, the new Razer Blade 18 has plenty of other features to justify its insane price tag.

The base model also uses a QHD+ (2560x1600) Mini-LED display with a300 Hz refresh rate.

Customers can upgrade to a 4K 200Hz display, assuming that they can tolerate a slightly slower refresh rate.

You won’t reach maximum power while using the laptop on battery, of course.
