Customer Ratings & Reviews

I now have about 200 hours of active use on this laptop. I purchased the top of the line (2019) Pro 17” version with the RTX 2080 video processor. I owned the ASUS GX701 for about two months before purchasing this one and at this point I am happy I switched over to the Razer. I wanted something that I would use primarily as a workstation for CAD and Video editing and Gaming as a secondary function. The 17” screen was critical for me. I travel a lot and the extra size provides additional relief for my eyes and I have fewer headaches. Upon receiving my laptop, I immediately added a second 2TB SSD (2.5TB in total now) and upgraded the RAM to 64 Gig. This was Soooo… easy to do. Razer really did this right. My inability to easily do that on my Asus was the primary reason for switching to the Razer. I use my laptop in my office with a CalDigit TS3+ Docking Station which has one display port cable that daisy chains to my two external 4K monitors (see picture). While in my office I mostly run my laptop with the lid closed and only use the 4K monitors. When I’m rendering, I open the lid because it cools a bit better that way. Although, this laptop does a pretty good job keeping itself cool even with the lid closed. That was IMPOSSIBLE with my Asus. If the lid was closed on Asus GX701, it would overheat just browsing the internet. What I love about this machine: 1. The ease of upgrading. This thing was as easy to install new memory and SSD in as any computer I have ever used. Including desktops. They really knocked the ball out of the park on that feature. 2. Cooling. This laptop runs very well without overheating. I really maxed out the graphics card and processor utilization for hours on end without having the typical sweaty hands and heat discomfort on the keyboard that you would usually encounter on other laptops. The fact that this thing can still cool itself closed-lid mode is also amazing. 3. The aluminum chassis feels premium, durable, lightweight (for its size), and minimalist. As a businessperson, I don’t want to advertise to the world that I have a “Gamer” laptop when I’m traveling for business. This machine keeps it pretty business class appropriate. 4. Trackpad. The trackpad on this laptop is really fantastic. I would say it is comparable to the experience I had on my last MacBook Pro. 5. SD Card Slot. I have to say, this is the fastest SD card slot I have ever used. When pulling video off an SD card, this thing flies! 6. Speakers. I don’t really ever use the built in speakers on this laptop because I’m either using headphones or have this thing plugged into my dock using the speakers on the monitor. Still, the few times I tested them, I have to say they are the best sounding speakers I have ever heard on a laptop. I’m just not sure when I’d use them. 7. Fits in most 15” laptop slots. I have three different laptop bags made for 15” laptops and this fits in all three of them (albeit snugly). The super thin bezel really reduces the over-all size nicely. My HP Omen laptop is a monster and it requires a flat-bed trailer to haul it around. Some of the things I don’t like: 1. By far the most annoying thing on this laptop for me is the keyboard. It types just fine. But, the location of the arrow keys is the stupidest thing ever. Why oh why did they ruin what could possibly be the greatest laptop ever created with an idiotic thing like this. EVERY time I go to use the right shift key, my finger hits the up-arrow. EVERY TIME!!!! I’m trying to train myself to think about the right-shift key in a different way, but after 30+ years of typing one way, WHY DO I HAVE TO CHANGE!!!! There is plenty of space on this thing, why not just drop the arrow keys down a bit. I probably would have tried to hack into the review system so I could add another star on this review to make it 6 stars if not for this one issue. 2. No Number Pad. The speakers on this thing are certainly amazing, but who uses speakers on a laptop? I don’t. I wish they would have downgraded or moved the speakers and put in a full num-pad off to the right. I don’t use the Num-Pad a ton. But, it still would be nice. 3. No Charge over USB-C. It would be great if this device could charge over the USB-C port so I only need to plug in one cable to dock. It isn’t the end of the world. But, it would have been nice. 4. Finger Print Magnet. I have never had a piece of equipment that attracted and displayed finger prints like this thing. I feel like I have to clean it at least once a day. 5. Thunderbolt Security issue. I had to go into the BIOS and disable one of the Thunderbolt security features in order for my docking station to work properly. It wasn’t a bit issue. But, for a less experienced user, they might not be able to figure that out on their own. In Summary, I think this is an amazing laptop. If not for the keyboard issue described above, I’d say it is the best laptop ever created (for my needs anyway). It performs extremely well under heavy load and stays relatively cool. It feels durable and my expectation is that it will out-last most of its similarly priced competitors. I’d definitely recommend this over the Asus GX701. Especially if you are ever going to use the machine in closed-lid mode.

You Pay for what You Get.... I bought this for $2800. So far it has been great. Computer did crash once... but hopefully that’s a windows 10 problem. have only owned this for a few weeks but it has performed great while gaming, which is likely the reason you would buy a laptop of these specs. For gaming specific I ran on the highest settings possible. saw usually close to or over 100 fps on AAA ULTRA titles and i’m very content. gpu and cpu performance during gaming has been great. love the ability to upgrade this computer. right shift key is annoying placement but you get used to it. overall this was priced high, but i love the design and it does run smooth. no complaints really at all... but i couldn’t even purchase smoothly over the razer site and found their tech support to be sub par. that’s why i bought this through best buy, just hoping to not have to go through razer for any issues... because you can’t talk over the phone for certain purchase concerns. I have plans to add more ssd soon. razer chroma and synapse have been great. while this is priced high.... i would 100% recommend this product to a friend. Shift key will be adjusted in the 2020 model, and hoping Razer’s customer service is expanded or improved in the future.

I wanted a powerful desktop experience on the go. This was it. This laptop is a beast. I'm rather picky when it comes to gaming laptops, or computers in general. If you want a large screen, powerful gaming experience, and a great piece of hardware, this thing is great. I'm not a fan of the material around the power cables, but it isn't a problem. The cable feels a bit stiff but nothing wrong with it, very high quality material. This computer is extremely large (thin yes, but still huge overall). If you're going to be traveling A LOT, I'd suggest the next size down with the same components. This thing is massive! Relocating every two to three weeks feels like a bit of a chore with how large it is. Slightly smaller would have been better for my situation, but absolutely no problems with the computer itself; thats my fault for not getting the 15in.

Great laptop with outstanding performance. Sound on speakers are not of the upmost quality. Still nice for watching shows or movies, etc. Functionality for its Bluetooth is near perfect. Great business and gaming laptop for on the go while being sleek. 1 con is very hard to find a hard shell or flex shell.

Very nice sleek and fast, played games wonderfully. I would have given 5 stars but oddly the graphics card completely broke in one year and nothing could be done to fix it. Luckily I had a protection plan and geek squad coverage and they replaced the laptop with my choice of a new one and credited the rest of the cost to me since the new laptop was a bit cheaper.

Need to rain down hell upon your enemies, travel to the far reaches of space and human understanding, or maybe crank out a spreadsheet or two? The Razer Blade Pro 17 has you covered. The laptop deftly straddles the line between gaming and creative professionals, delivering strong overall and gaming performance, a swift pair of SSDs and a nice display to get it done.

This is the MacBook of the Windows laptop world. Build quality is wonderful, sleek, slim, and light. The screen is great for gaming and consuming media content. The laptop is fast and capable but does suffer a bit in the battery department. Make no mistake this is first and foremost a gaming laptop. With that said you can expect to get 5-6 hours mixed media/productivity usage on the battery if you turn down screen brightness and limit the power. Out of the box the Razer Synapse software cased a screen stuttering during gameplay. It took a long time (of personal trouble shooting and razer support) and 3 laptops to figure out what was causing the issue. Performing a fresh windows install did not fix the issue, you must manually uninstall/reinstall synapse and perform a manual update if required! I wish I did have the first laptop I purchased as that one benchmarked a good 13% higher in synthetic testing then the one I have now... With that said synapse software updates may be throttling performance a bit.

This is great laptop Noise level is 3 out of 10 even I play a game with ultra setting Very fast and looks awesome!!!!!

Would have given 5 stars, if not for the backlight screen bleed. Only really notice it upon boot up. Had zero issues so far. Runs cool 45-75, depending on use. Enjoying the 17.3" size & extra NVMe M.2 storage. Again because of blacklight bleed A-

What can I say, if you're looking for a over the top, beastly laptop,look no further. I went from the 15" to this beautiful 17" and I love it. I was contemplating beteween this and the 15" OLED but was worried about Burn In and the 60hz refresh rate was disappointing so I decided to take this baby. Whoever is thinking of buying this do it and enjoy it, because I know I am.
