Razer Blade Pro review

The ultimate, portable desktop replacement

Fully loaded hardware ; First truly mechanical ‘laptop keyboard’ ; Starboard trackpad placement ; A desktop experience you can finally carry

Off-putting price ; Less than 5 hours of battery life

Equipped with one of the best displays and keyboards ever seen on a laptop, you can finally take your desktop gaming and work experience on the road.

Razer Blade Pro (2017) review

The Razer Blade Pro isn't just any gaming laptop. It's the gaming laptop to beat.

Robust build quality ; Gorgeous display ; Excellent mechanical keyboard ; Unparalleled gaming performance

Runs hot and loud ; Poor battery life

Laptop gaming is all about caveats. Big machines aren’t as portable, portable machines aren’t as powerful. Do you go with a quiet laptop that runs hot? Or a loud laptop that runs cool?

Razer's big-screen Blade Pro gets a cheaper option

The 17-inch gaming laptop now has a more-reasonable version with an Nvidia 1060 GPU and HD screen.

New Razer Blade Pro (2017)

The New Blade Pro is a modest improvement on the previous iteration, with a THX-certified panel and audio alongside a slightly faster unlocked Core i7 processor.

Premium build quality. Beautiful 4K touch display with strong color spectrum coverage. High-end gaming performance.

Loud fans. Audiovisual differences from non-THX version are minor for most users. Short battery life.

The New Blade Pro delivers audio, visual, and performance improvements over the previous version, and makes a generally excellent laptop even better for about the same price. It's not a huge upgrade, but it does refresh one of the best 17-inch options...

Razer Blade Pro is the first laptop to get the THX stamp of approval

This super-thin 17-inch gaming PC also gets a new CPU and faster RAM.

Razer Blade Pro review

You know that feeling when you're trying to do something -- anything -- and it's not going right and you say to yourself, "there must be a better way?" The Razer Blade Pro is that better way. The right tool for the job, as the adage goes, assuming that...

The Razer Blade Pro puts Nvidia's top-performing graphics card in a slim laptop that can pass as a work or gaming system. The premium design, 4K-resolution touchscreen and mechanical keyboard make it a pleasure to use.

The mechanical keyboard is clicky and loud, and the right-side trackpad placement remains a design misstep. The laptop and power supply get very hot, and the very loud fans start blowing as soon as you boot up a game.

Razer manages to fit a high-end graphics card into an amazingly thin laptop. Gamers and graphics pros alike will love the performance, but not the loud fans and misplaced touchpad.

Razer Blade Pro Review

Expensive; SSD not very fast; Gets hot when gaming ; Thanks to its overclocked Core i7 processor and Nvidia 1080 graphics, the Razer Blade Pro is one of world's thinnest and most powerful gaming laptops.

Razer Blade Pro review: Safe but still sharp

Great performance ; Awesome build quality and design

Might be too bulky for some ; The best don't come cheap

The new Razer Blade Pro doesn’t exactly to solve any of the underlying or enduring drawbacks to the gaming laptop experience, but that’s not to say it can't find a way to thrive within those limitations.

Razer Blade Pro 2017 (i7-7820HK, GTX 1080, 4K) Laptop Review

Slim at any cost. Razer's Blade Pro is one of the most powerful and yet slimmest gaming laptops in the world. It was to be expected that this combination would lead to high temperatures and loud background noise. Just how bad is it? Our review reveals...

mechanical keyboard with RGB backlighting ; optional CPU overclocking ; clean manufacturing ; very good color space coverage ; powerful hardware ; large touchpad ; slim build ; attractive design ; thin power supply ; Thunderbolt 3 ; classy case ; 32 GB...

irregular lighting along lower rim of display ; parts of palm rest heat to uncomfortable temperatures ; GTX 1080 weaker than in other laptops ; Razer Synapse makes registration compulsory ; very loud in 3D mode ; reflective display surface ; laptop...

If we set aside the emissions, speakers and battery life for just a moment, the Razer Blade Pro is a very well-designed high-end notebook. With its slim build, high-quality materials and classy design, it should catch the fancy of gamers who value...

Razer Blade Pro review: A more affordable FHD higher-end Razer gaming laptop

Our Razer Blade Pro review takes a look at the FHD version and sees if the more affordable version can still offer the top-tier gaming performance for the on-the-go gamer.

Thin, sleek design given what's inside ; Pretty quiet, even when full on gaming ; Great performance ; Decent sound ; Plenty of ports ; USB Type-C Thunderbolt ; Matte screen ; Includes free FL Studio 12 music software ; Plenty of storage with 256GB +...

Not a fan of the keyboard/trackpad layout ; Backlighting doesn't extend to extra markings on keys ; Mediocre battery life ; Bit on the pricey side given the components
