Reviews for the Razer Blade 17 Early 2022

89.9% Razer Blade 17 (Early 2022) review: Elegant 4k gaming laptop with a bright screen | Notebookcheck
A Core i9-12900H and GeForce RTX 3080 Ti provide sufficient performance for 4k gaming, video processing, and rendering. The matte 4k display (IPS, 144 Hz) scores with a good color reproduction and high brightness. Our test shows what else the new Blade 17 in the high-end configuration can do.
80% Unleash the Power: A Review of the Razer Blade 17 Laptop
Source: Make Use Of English
As a premium desktop replacement that can occasionally be taken on the go, the Razer Blade 17 is one of the best-looking 17-inch gaming laptops with excellent customization and integration with peripherals. The screen and build quality are all excellent, though its keyboard feels cramped, and its battery life is mediocre. Several competing models offer similar or better hardware for less, yet for those wanting that exclusive Razer experience, the Blade 17 might be worth the extra cash.

80% Razer Blade 17 review: Big and blisteringly fast
Source: Expert Reviews English
Passing over issues of size, weight and cost – which are things you can either live with or you can’t – the new Blade 17 is a pricey masterpiece. The immaculate build quality, powerful underpinnings and outstanding sound system make this a laptop that can perform any task with alacrity. Unless the super-sharp 4K display is a must, I’d suggest going for the QHD 240Hz model, which is £400 cheaper than the otherwise identical 4K model – and gamers get access to G-Sync with the other variants as well. Either way, the end result is a massively impressive bit of kit, even if you need to fork out a hefty sum for the privilege.
