Razer Blade Pro

The Razer Blade Pro 17 is a tough gaming laptop with higher resolution than most. But a larger keyboard with more travel would do wonders for the experience. And we expected more storage space at this price.

The Razer Blade Pro is definitely a mixed bag for me. There are some things I really like about it, such as the screen, build quality, trackpad and design. And those speakers sure sound great! But even some of those nice things have a couple tid-bits I don’t like, like the screen's backlight bleed, the flawed GSYNC and the same old, large bezels on the screen. Still, if it were just those things, I’d still probably have a nice grade for the Razer Blade Pro. But when you add in the keyboard that I struggled with, the overclockable CPU that can’t be overclocked without throttling, the high surface temperatures, poor battery life and the very high price? Well…I have to draw the line somewhere.

From top to bottom, the Razer Blade is a very well-thought out design, and is a joy to use on a day to day basis. It's hard to imagine porting around a 17-inch laptop, but at only a little under 7 pounds all-in and with surprisingly stellar battery life, the previously unthinkable is perfectly reasonable here.
