The Blade Pro is dead, long live the Blade Pro!
RAZER HAS NOT NECESSARILY been quick in updating its heavy-hitting Blade Proline—we last saw it a good two years ago—but the jump to RTX cards is far from a straight component swap. Outwardly, things have been significantly redesigned, with the soft-edged heft of the previous model replaced by a far more slimline body, both thinner and less wide than before, which brings the Blade Pro 17 into design line with the rest of the company’s laptop pack. Not that the guts have been ignored; things have been seriously cooked up, in terms of both the RTX 2080 and hex-core i7-9750H in our review model, and strengthening its position as a laptop for people who love games, speed, and spending wads of cash in equal measure. This is a refresh, sure, but it’s definitely a new Blade Pro. The real question is whether it’s a success.
