Razer Blade Pro 17
Gaming LaptopProduct Gallery
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.
