86.6% Razer Blade Pro 2017 (i7-7700HQ, GTX 1060, FHD) Laptop Review | Notebookcheck
Razor's edge. The latest Blade Pro drops a lot of what made last year's Blade Pro so unique. Perhaps surprisingly, the changes and downgrades have made for an even better and more balanced gaming machine in many ways.
85% Razer Blade Pro review: Safe but still sharp

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.

80% Razer Blade Pro (2017) Review
Source: Toptenreviews English Archive.org version
This more budget-oriented Blade Pro, then, is a fairly interesting proposition. It’s got enough power to game on at 1080p, and for a 17.3-inch G-Sync laptop, its price is quite reasonable. On the other hand, at nearly six grand (or more), we can’t quite say the same of its 4K siblings. [ dan Gardiner ]

91% Razer Blade Pro review: A more affordable FHD higher-end Razer gaming laptop
Source: Techaeris English Archive.org version
Decent gaming laptops are usually notoriously huge and expensive. The Razer Blade Pro FHD is a more affordable option with great performance with a sleeker design than is normally seen in gaming laptops. Even though there are still a few minor issues like sound and battery life, these are pretty standard when it comes to gaming laptops, especially with specs like the Razer Blade Pro has under the hood. Overall, given the price — and the current sale price at that — coupled with the specs, if you’re looking for a decent gaming laptop at a decent price, the Razer Blade Pro FHD nicely fits the bill.

Of course, those more affordable machines tend to be heavier, chunkier and with less quality throughout. That’s where choices have to be made: if you’re willing to compromise in those areas to save money and maybe get more graphical grunt, alternatives are worthwhile. But if you want plenty of power alongside exceptional design, the Razer’s high price will be worth paying.

Razer Blade Pro – Gaming Laptop Review

The Razer Blade Pro impresses in many key departments. It looks fantastic, and will easily blend in at LAN parties or the office. It’s slim, has great build quality, and the screen has great contrast and solid colours.

80% Razer Blade Pro review: Power and performance in one pretty package
Source: It Pro English Archive.org version
The Razer Blade Pro is a large and slim laptop that does a good job at delivering for work and play. The components have ample power for most tasks, and the screen offers solid quality and great contrast. The MacBook is still our favourite, but the Blade Pro is a solid alternative if you’re after something more affordable and with a bigger screen.

There was very little about the 1080p Blade Pro that we disliked. If you were on the fence about the 4K Blade Pro due to its price point, we can’t say we would have blamed you. This 1080p model, however, is priced much closer to reality for most of us, and it’s deserving of a second look.

Razer's less expensive take on the Blade Pro packs the premium build and many high-end features of its pricier sibling, but still costs more than the average GTX 1060 gaming laptop.

Comment

Model: Gaming laptops has been coming more and more famous over the past few years. However, the typical gaming laptop isn’t usually good for work purposes. Nevertheless, that’s what the Razer Blade Pro RZ09-0220 is attempting. The entire laptop is hewn from black, matte, machined aluminum. The lid has the familiar green Razer logo, and that’s it when it comes to loud ornamentation. Elsewhere there’s only a subtle Blade logo and a round power button. The lid is perfectly balanced, which means it can be opened with a fingertip. Build quality is great, with no noticeable give in the area around the keyboard or the base panel, and the screen feels sturdy. Impressive dimensions only improve the solid build quality and the impressive aesthetic. The Razer weighs 3.07 kg and it’s 23 mm thick. There’s no doubt about the Blade Pro’s design when it’s lined up against the MSI GE73VR 7RG Raider. Razer’s machine has three USB 3.1 connectors, a card reader, and a Type-C port, and it’s got an HDMI output. Connectivity is good, too. Gaming experts Killer provide the Gigabit Ethernet and dual-band 802.11ac wireless. The Blade Pro is expensive, but its internals are not ground-breaking. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 provides the graphical power. It’s a competent mid-range chipset that uses the Pascal architecture. The GTX 1060 has 1,280 stream processors with a 1,404 MHz core speed, and it can reach a Turbo peak of 1,670 MHz.

A Core i7-7700HQ sits alongside the Blade Pro’s GTX 1060. It’s the same processor that was in the MSI, and its four Hyper-threaded cores run at 2.8 GHz with a boost peak that’s 1 GHz higher. It remains a great chip that will run almost any application and won’t bottleneck games. There’s 16 GB of DDR4 memory, which is fine for most work tasks and all games. As for storage, there’s a 256 GB Samsung SSD and a capacious 2 TB hard disk. The Razer’s Full HD resolution looks sharp enough on the 17.3-inch panel. The IPS panel underneath should ensure solid quality, and the matte finish works well for gaming. The 120 Hz refresh rate improves smoothness. However, Razer hasn’t fitted this machine with Nvidia G-Sync, so the screen could have been even smoother. It’s the same setup as the MSI screen, which had a 120 Hz operation but no syncing. Instead of installing the trackpad beneath the keyboard, it’s positioned alongside the buttons. It looks odd at first, but it makes sense. The right-hand position of the trackpad mimics how most people use their PCs when they’re working and gaming. Because the trackpad is pushed up, the keyboard is moved to the left. The buttons are consistent and responsive, and they’re quiet and comfortable. They have ample travel for a Chiclet design, and each key has an RGB LED that can be customized in software. The Blade Pro’s repositioned trackpad offers great quality, with a smooth surface, responsive buttons and a smooth scroll-wheel.

17.30": This display size is a standard format for desktop replacements (DTR). The DTR laptops are heavier to carry, need more power, but texts are easy to read and high resolutions are no problem. DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
