Razer Blade Pro 17

Product Overview
Razer Blade Pro 17 (early 2021) is Razer's flagship gaming laptop that improves upon the 2020 model with the addition of RTX 30-series graphics. Also new is the QHD option.
Like before, the early 2021 Blade Pro 17 uses 10th-gen Intel Core i7-10875H, due to delays in Intel's high-powered 11th-gen CPUs. Nevertheless, Razer has included a number of improvements that go beyond newer GPUs and more display options: for example, Bluetooth 5.2 is now used in place of the older Bluetooth 5.0.
Also like before, the FHD panel offers a maximum refresh rate of 300Hz, while the 4K IPS display still performs at 120Hz, while covering 100% of Adobe RGB color space. Razer's unique vapor chamber cooling system remains employed here.
Other the strengths of the Blade-series have been kept, including the Precision Touchpad and per-key RGB backlighting with N-key rollover, among others.
Alongside the Blade Pro, Razer also refreshed the Blade 15 at CES 2021.
