Pros
Pro Offers excellent performance for both gaming and productivity work
This laptop has the latest, high-end CPU and the best GPU you can get in a laptop. Specs like these mean you can run virtually any game in 4K resolution at decent framerates, or use it as a very powerful workstation.
Pro Can be safely overclocked to achieve even better performance
Thanks to the very effective cooling and the included PredatorSense application, you can easily overclock the system to further boost performance while maintaining stable and safe temperatures.
Pro Great display
The anti-glare 17.3 inch IPS panel is bright and offers precise colors, covering 112% of the Adobe RGB color range. It also uses nVidia G-sync technology that helps prevent screen tearing while gaming. This makes the laptop great for both color-sensitive work as well as gaming.
Pro The keyboard has customizable RGB backlight
The Predator has a Chiclet-style keyboard with a four-zone RGB lighting that you can personalize. The keyboard has five programmable macro keys and a profile switch button.
Pro Doesn't overheat easily
The laptop has one of the best cooling systems in its price range, as it can keep the PC cool while remaining relatively quiet. It uses three cooling fans that are specially designed for this laptop. One of the fans sucks cold air in, while two blow heated air out of the device quietly and effectively.
Pro Exceptional audio performance
The audio performance is exceptionally good as it has four speakers and two subwoofers built in.
The laptop’s built-in speakers can get quite loud, while the subwoofer offers decent bass.
Pro Relatively good battery life
The battery can withstand about two and a half hours of gaming, which is pretty good.
Pro Great build quality
The chassis is made from aluminium and is very solid, giving the feel of a premium laptop.
Pro Customizable RGB keyboard backlight
The keyboard’s RGB backlight can display 16.8 million colors on each key and the touchpad border. The included Synapse software lets you program the lights with different patterns and color profiles and is shareable to other Razer devices.
Pro One of the best displays on the market
The Razer Blade Pro has easily one of the best touchscreen displays that can be found in any laptop. The colors look accurate and vivid, as it covers 185% of the sRGB color gamut. Brightness goes beyond the industry average and can provide a very bright picture. The screen also supports NVIDIA G-Sync that helps eliminate screen tearing and smooths out movement.
Pro Built to be portable
At 22mm thin, this is the thinnest laptop that has the NVIDIA GeForce 1080 and one of the thinnest gaming laptops overall.
Pro Uses an actual mechanical keyboard
Razer uses ultra-low profile mechanical switches in the Blade Pro, which replicate full-sized mechanical keyboards. While it certainly makes the familiar, though noisy, clicking noise and is stiffer than a Chiclet keyboard, the travel is still too shallow compared to a regular mechanical keyboard.
Pro Great gaming performance
While from the outside Blade Pro looks like an ordinary 17 inch laptop, it packs serious gaming laptop performance. It is because Razer has equipped this laptop with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 and one of the fastest mobile processors you can buy today. It can run almost any modern game in 4K resolution in high or maximum settings at upwards of 30 FPS.
