Razer Blade 18 (2024)
An 18-inch RTX 4090 desktop replacement with a 300 Hz mini-LED panel and roughly 4 hours off the wall. Razer's missing Linux tooling and unreliable suspend make it a Windows machine in practice.
Compiled from public sources and community data, not hands-on tested. What that means.

fedora: Same bare-BIOS story as the rest of the Blade line: no exposed fan or power profiles, no vendor Linux tooling. NVIDIA proprietary driver required for the 175W RTX 4090, suspend is unreliable, and the mini-LED panel's local dimming zones are not tunable from Linux. A 3.13 kg desktop replacement that fights you on power management.
