In addition to the blade Base model and the blade 15 Advanced model, Razer also has the Blade Pro in the evening 17 refreshed. There are also new hardware components and higher-quality display variants.

Under the hood of the 19, 9 mm high and CNC-milled unibody case works exclusively with an Intel Core i7 – 10875 H of the Comet Lake H family. It offers eight cores with up to 5.1 GHz. Depending on your budget, Razer can choose to install an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, RTX 3070 or GeForce RTX 3080 and set to at least 16 or 32 GB of RAM. Up to 16 GB of video memory is now available, which is a real novelty for a consumer model, because until now there was only so much VRAM with the expensive professional cards of the Quadro series. Depending on the model, there is also 512 or 1. 024 GB NVMe memory .

The display always measures 16, 3 inches in its diagonal, but differs each time according to the model in terms of resolution, response speed and other features. While in the cheapest and middle version of the Razer Blade Pro 16 between a Full HD panel with 165 or 360 Hz can be selected, the top model is optionally available with 120 – Hz-UHD touch panel or a 360 – Hz-FDH model without touch. On the connection side, three USB 3.2 Gen2 Type A interfaces, HDMI 2.1, 2.5 Gbit / s Ethernet, Thunderbolt 3 and an integrated card reader are offered. A 3.5 mm jack socket for connecting a headset is also included. Communication takes place wirelessly via AX-Wifi and Bluetooth.

The black anodized full metal housing made of CNC-milled aluminum is available as well as the poison green color elements in the USB ports or the RGB-backlit chroma -Keyboard. The sound is output via THX-certified stereo speakers. The 17 – Zöller is charged via USB Type-C.

The Razer Blade Pro 17 should be able to be pre-ordered later this month. In terms of price, you will have to calculate at least 2 599 euros.
