Blade Pro 17

I'm a power user and enjoy working on great equipment. This laptop delivers. Expensive, but worth it. Excellent cooling capability and bests most notebooks in a portable package. This system replaced an Alienware 17 R5 which was much heavier, bulkier, warmer, and louder. I was a little concerned about going from a 4K display to a 1080p 300Hz display, but I'm very happy with my selection. I had a few applications that didn't scale well on 4K, and this display looks fantastic. I added a Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1TB secondary drive and upgraded the memory to 32GB with Kingston HyperX Impact, both from Amazon. I have a 12 virtual system lab configuration running on Hyper-V and performance is surprisingly impressive.

Bought this a few weeks ago since I wanted both a laptop I can relax in the evenings with on my lap as well as Fly around in MSFS 2020. It handles both Superbly! With Nvidia Optimus on and balanced mode, I'm able to get nice battery like 5+ hours of websurfing, video watching). The fan doesn't come on and it doesn't get too hot. i.e. it acts like a refined thin high end laptop. With a USBC 100W charger, it will charge just fine. Then I set it to High Performance settings and with supplied power brick and fire up MSFS and an external 4k monitor through a thunderbolt docking station, I can get 25-40 FPS on Ultra settings and 4k resolution and it's absolutely gorgeous. The fan gets loud for sure and it needs the high power brick when gaming, but the system stays pretty cool.

I have a couple minor complains, like the short battery life, that you can't change the color of the led on the back or that if I bought it again I think the touchscreen is not worth it. It's still great tho. There's not that many gaming pcs that have a sleek design. I'm really happy with my purchase. The big screen is wonderfull

Absolutely unbelievable. Every laptop I’ve had from razer has had some issue that fell under warranty. I assumed that the stealth blades weren’t their highest end products so perhaps that was the issue. Now I spent $4300 on this/ their top of the line 2800 super max — this 17” pro and the screen completely died within the first 30 days!!!! I adjusted the angle of the screen slightly and the screen went black. I returned it to the working position and the screen was visible. I moved it back to the black screen position — and now it won’t turn on for any number of resets and angle readjustment! It was about a 1” arc range that triggered the failure in a totally normal use angle. I use this machine for my work and now I can’t use it!!! And their RMA process takes over a month!!!! (I know because of my 2 other razer laptops that had issues within weeks of owning). This is entirely unacceptable. Clearly their entire line has problems. I will never take a risk on these nor give them the benefit of the doubt again. Further, their customer service is the biggest headache of circular outsourced customer service nonsense I’ve ever experienced in my life. It took weeks to even get an rma approval on my first two laptops. I’m not looking forward to this next headache. UPDATE: 3 days after I opened my support ticket with razer I still got no response... and instead received a message telling me that I hadn’t responded to the ticket and it was going to be closed! They never reached out or replied to me! Only let their automated system try to end the ticket because they completely refused to even read (or respond to) my ticket!!! Pathetic on the level of fraud! Absolutely ignored fulfilling their advertised warranty!

amazing laptop super fast speed!!! amazing beautiful graphics. Ended up getting 300 HZ FHD 2080 Super i7 10th gen (8 Cores) im able to max out everything and get good frames per second!!! it runs super cool doesnt even get that hot i can also game using the speakers as they get loud and can fill up the room very easily. this is a huge laptop which would replace my desktop as it is always stationed and constantly moving around i dont have space to station a desktop and i can bring this laptop with me everywhere i go from the bedroom to the living room and take it with me on the go. this laptop is very nicely build with aluminium metal and is beautiful. the only negative thing about this product is the battery life really really sucks (see pic included with review) i dont know if i got a defective unit but my battery last only a hour and a half just browsing the web and streaming youtube videos. for 3200 the battery life is horrible and they claim battery life suppose to last 4 hours which it does not only get an hour and a half of battery and than it goes completely dead. and i have the brightness on low all the time. also the key board to type on this isnt so great as i causes a lot of typos. if your going to be typing a lot on this laptop ur going to be having a lot of typos. if ur using this just to browse the web and stream video content and strictly game on this u should be fine. other than the battery life of 1.5 hours and the key Boards kind of small to type its an amazing laptop and amazing build quality. if your used to typing on a macbook ur going to hate the keyboard as it gets annoying have to correct the typos since the keys are so close to each other and run failry small considering how big the body is. also upgrade ur SSD because after installing 3 to 4 games i maxed out the memory on the hard drive lol. for the mean time im using a external 8TB hard drive. going to upgrade to a 2TB on the vacant slot that's easily up gradable.

I am going to compare this to the Dell XPS 17 and I will keep it short. I wanted to like the Razer Blade as it is very powerful and the chassis is built so well. I really wanted to keep it. The good: It is powerful and you can play most games at high frame rates. The RGB keyboard is really cool, almost infinitely variable lighting. Sound is pretty good and nice 120Hz, 4K touch screen. The bad: The keyboard is terrible for typing (you will see this on many reviews and it is true). The worst thing is the row with the shift key is "shifted" to the left (see picture). Look at any other keyboard and the keys in that row are centered between the keys in the row above, but not on the Razer. Why did Razer feel the need to reinvent this? This is the real deal-breaker for me. The Dell has a terrific keyboard. Windows Hello will not recognize me half the time. The Dell is excellent at signing you in without any issue, no matter if I am wearing a hat, sitting slightly off center, etc. This is a heavy beast. The Dell is more than 1.5 pounds lighter if you include the power supply. The power port is just ridiculous. You can work with it, but why? You can plug the Dell in on either side. The Dell has the same CPU, but it is allowed to work harder. It benchmarks better than the Razer Blade. The Dell's 4K screen is only 60 HZ but it has inkier blacks and looks better. It also has almost no bezel at the bottom of the screen. Did I mention that the Dell is quite a bit smaller? Fingerprint magnet-no kidding, the Dell still looks new. $1000 more than the Dell. Only real difference being the RGB keyboard and the 2080. If you are avid gamer then it may be worth it. I prefer a laptop that is more of an all-rounder.

I spent the last couple of months going back and forth, reading and watching reviews, checking out pricing. I have used Surface's, Dells, HP's, Macbook Pro's, and even MSI gaming laptops. Knowing this computer was on the expensive end left me tentative. Well I finally bought it and could not be happier. The fit and finish is very high quality. It has proven quite capable and I like how easy it is to customize. Pretty much the only drawback I could find was the lack of a number pad but even with that missing I am very pleased with this purchase and would recommend this laptop to anyone interested.

Best offer on a good laptop
