Razer - Blade Pro 17.3" 4K Ultra HD Touch-Screen Gaming Laptop- Intel Core i7- 32GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 - 512GB SSD - Black CNC Aluminum

While this machine is a fantastic beast, I cannot fathom what exactly inspired Razer to NOT backlight any of the symbols on the number keys or F keys. Seriously??? In a dim room I need a flashlight and a sticky note telling me what symbols belong to what keys. Hate the mechanical keyboard also-I can’t imagine other gamers won’t hear this clicking and clacking through my headset. I don’t know if I would have purchased this laptop if I had realized that symbols on keys would not be lit and that I would need to have to take a typing course to remember where they are. Not everyone can type while staring at a screen!

So i think i bought the open box return of the other person. I have none of the issues suggested. YES the chassis is hot. I believe by design. I put a temperature monitor and have no issues. I believe they are purposely pushing the heat out of the chassis and that's why it feels hot, but it's doing it's job and keeping the components where they should be. For the most part they stay under 90 degrees C and are usually much lower when not under load. The screen is fantastic, I am a part time professional photographer that also does video work. Everything looks great. The audio is the best i've heard on a laptop. Performance is also superb. Not a fan of the mechanical keyboard or placement of the track pad, but that was done for gamers and I am not a gamer. Purposely bought the smallest hard drive as i plan to replace it with higher capacity and faster SSDs.

Pros- lightning fast, 4 k awesome display. Basically a portable desktop build like at tank aluminum case. Best laptop on the market nothing else is on it level except maybe a custom sager but that's not very portable this is. Cons- hot, but the updated drivers keep it cooler now, loud when running games, heavy, expensive( but when you want the best you get it with this beast)

Huge specs that can handle anything but runs so hot that it shuts off playing not very demanding games. Typing this review with nothing running but 1 tab in Chrome I can feel the heat of this thing. Should also mention that the room is chilled and I bought a cooling pad for it and it still over heats and shuts off. Have found other stories online of the same thing happening to other owners.

This laptop is exceeded my expectations from the moment I opened the box!
