Some notable similarities include that the two laptops feature the 14th Gen Intel Core i9-14900HX CPU and NVIDIA RTX 4090 Laptop GPU, plus they both have Thunderbolt 5 interfaces.<\/p>\n<p>Both Maingear ML-17 and Razer Blade 18 can be configured with up to 64GB of DDR5 RAM, but the ML-17&#8217;s RAM operates at a slightly slower 4800MHz frequency compared to the Blade 18&#8217;s faster RAM. The ML-17 also offers up to 12TB of M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD storage, which surpasses what the Blade 18 offers.<\/p>\n<p>There are differences in the battery capacities and power output with ML-17 having a larger 99Wh battery compared to the Blade 18&#8217;s 91.7Wh battery. The Blade 18 wins on the display front with its superior QHD+ Mini-LED display, which is a significant upgrade over the ML-17&#8217;s screen.<\/p>\n<p>If you are considering which one to purchase, note that the Blade 18 is priced at approximately $4,500 for a configuration with a Core i9-14900HX CPU, RTX 4090 GPU, 2TB SSD, 32GB of RAM, and a QHD+ Mini-LED display.<\/p>\n<p>In comparison, the ML-17 with the same CPU and GPU, 32GB of RAM, and 2TB SSD costs about $3,900. You should factor in your peculiar needs before choosing any of them since both are among the most powerful gaming laptops today.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-responsive su-table-alternate\">\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Maingear ML-17<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Razer Blade 18<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>CPU<\/td>\n<td>14th Gen Intel Core i9-14900HX<\/td>\n<td>14th Gen Intel Core i9-14900HX<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>GPU<\/td>\n<td>NVIDIA RTX 4090 Laptop GPU<\/td>\n<td>NVIDIA RTX 4090 Laptop GPU<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>RAM<\/td>\n<td>Up to 64GB DDR5 (4800MHz)<\/td>\n<td>Up to 64GB DDR5 (faster frequency)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Storage<\/td>\n<td>Up to 12TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD<\/td>\n<td>Less than 12TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Battery<\/td>\n<td>99Wh<\/td>\n<td>91.7Wh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Display<\/td>\n<td>Standard display<\/td>\n<td>QHD+ Mini-LED<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Thunderbolt<\/td>\n<td>Thunderbolt 5<\/td>\n<td>Thunderbolt 5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Price (approx.)<\/td>\n<td>$3,900<\/td>\n<td>$4,500<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<h2><span id=\"the_bottom_line\">The Bottom Line<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is no doubt that the new Maingear ML-17 is a powerful laptop that will give regular gamers the performance and efficiency they crave.<\/p>\n<p>The 17.3-inch display means gamers and creativity professionals now have a wider screen to perform tasks.
