hey guys thunder here and welcome to my
gaming review of this bad boy
i'm talking about the razer blade 17 pro
now i'm not going to waste any more time
so let's start gaming
so the brand new razer blade 17 pro was
just announced recently we
spent some time with this bad boy and
i've got to say though
i am truly impressed with what razer has
brought to the table
now first off when you pick this bad boy
up it
is a six pound laptop feels like a
slightly heavy five pounder but i like
its compact size
nature and look now the one thing of
course you know with razer laptops is
that they are fingerprint magnets
as you can clearly see so i wish there
was a matte finish or at least something
uh that just stopped a little bit of
that fingerprints on there
but besides that this thing is packed
with a lot in terms of specs you're
looking at the brand new
gen intel uh core i7 processor this is
an
eight core processor uh which is pretty
nice you've also
got um something pretty new this year
you've got our
rtx 2017 max q variant and also an rtx
2080 max q super and the displays you
have two options between full hd
300 hertz yes and 4k
touch 128 so again something pretty high
now this variant i have here has the
full hd 300hz so that's actually pretty
cool to check out
and also it's got customizable
internals pretty easy to open uh where
you can of course go ahead and add more
storage with nvme or swap out the other
one so they actually two nvme slots
and also change and upgrade your your
ram
which actually starts at 16 gigabytes
now i like this because
if you're like me and you're playing a
little warzone right now you just got an
update for warzone and if you also
have call of duty uh as well it's
200 gigabytes think about it you can't
have like a 200 gigabyte nvme
you've got to go to a terabyte so having
that extra slot in here
it's great it's fantastic i love that
razer and i love that thinking because
i don't have to actually spend crazy
amount of money because this thing
starts at a thousand
1999 if you're getting the rtx 2060. now
if you're getting this
package size i have here which is the
full hd 300 hertz
uh in there um then you're getting
you're paying about 3199 if you're doing
the 4k touch
that goes up more to about 3799 so
that's the one that also increases its
storage to one terabyte but you can stay
with
with full hd 300 and you can upgrade
manually so that
part is pretty nice now speakers
on these things are also pretty loud and
clear when you're gaming so
take a quick listen it looks better it
looks like the iphone has the best crop
out of all of them it's the widest but
they all seem to be looking pretty good
right now let me know which microphone
sounds
so speakers are good that's great but
what about games how do they play well
i'll show you some gameplay uh of course
some called gd mobile some apex
a little witcher 3 as well uh just to
see how this actually functions and
plays in some tomb raider so you get a
good idea
of what kind of performance you're
getting from the razer blade pro 17.
no kill leader show off
fish
it's got time
massive shotgun here
uh
hmm can't figure out the dialect i must
be missing something
okay
now i've got to say that i was really
impressed with the razer blade pro 17.
something you will not clearly see is
how good that full hd 300 hertz display
was
now i have not used a 240hz display for
a good length of time to do any review
especially on the laptop i have used a
120 hertz display
and i can tell you there is a huge
difference for me from 120 to 300 i
don't know about 240
but it is a huge difference and i really
enjoyed it the fact that my monitor
right here my gaming monitor
is 144hz display when i went back to
play call of duty
on this monitor it felt a little old so
i like the fact that
300 hertz i want to get a 300 smart rod
i'll put it that way so i like that it's
here on this system
but because you're using the 300 hertz
display you're going to use a lot of
power
that's where you see a lot with this
game like whilst playing call of duty
for a good amount of time um this thing
heats up
really high 120 degrees uh 119 degrees
they're about that's hot so it becomes a
little harder for you to use
that's something i would say that you
have to bear in mind now it does have
some really nice cooling
uh if you set it at auto it pretty much
keeps at 120 if you actually manually
push it
then those temperatures do drop down but
i will warn you though
uh it becomes really really loud so you
have to use a headset to play in game
and which of course is something a lot
of people will do so those are the kind
of negative caveats i do not like with
this
what i do like with it is the
performance now we run
you know ransom benchmarks and you know
we did time spy
uh with center bench uh and for that you
know that came up out of about 40
356 was pretty high it's pretty much
always slightly underneath
of course on um rx 3700x
of course with our tx 2080 but you know
when we also
did our cinebench r20 it came out right
below a xenon processor so
uh the only things that were higher were
threadripper processors so that makes a
lot of sense with this laptop
i'm just showing the benchmarks and
something i really don't really put too
much attention to i like to play
the games for me the games played well i
had no issues with them
the keyboard was also really comfortable
and easy to use i really liked the
keyboard
especially for typing and gaming it felt
easy to navigate back and forth
that touch powder was really nice now of
course you're not going to use a touch
about the game so
you're going to use an external mouse
and that's where all the plethora of
ports come in
so you've got on your right side hdmi
port a usb
3.0 port a thunderbolt and of course an
sd card reader again this is a pro
device on the right hand side that's
where you have two more
usb uh 3.0 ports a usb type-c
port and an ethernet 2.5 gigabyte and of
course a proprietary power port
that is cool so you've got enough ports
for all the things you need now this
uses
a 17.5 watt uh battery and of course
the charger is a little bit larger but
it's kind of trimmed down in size over
the years so i do
like that with this i think overall a
lot of people will like this laptop this
is
more of a device if you're going try to
go away from of course
a desktop experience you want something
that has performance you can take with
you on the road
i like it i like the performance i love
what it brings to the table
i also like the fact that you can go
away to you know the 2080 uh super max q
so that of course
is pretty dope now a couple of things
just to add quickly it does have a
windows hello camera
i did check out the camera in terms of
video quality for
of course zooms and streams because
we're doing a lot of that lately it was
decent at best not something too crazy
that i would like
uh the microphone was also okay so i'll
just bear that in mind it is possible
but you definitely need a lot for
light for your video conferencing if you
need that
so this is a quick example of what you
get from the webcam
of the razer blade stealth 17. it is a
720p webcam
so if you're looking to do video calls
you need ideal lighting that's
actually i've got sunlight coming to my
left but you probably need more lighting
to actually accentuate this well
and also a good idea of what the
microphone is like
using just the built-in mic on the
laptop and not a headset so
put that in mind and uh let's continue
but overall
i think this is a fun laptop that you
will definitely enjoy
while gaming using on the go uh
especially with that now if you're
talking about
gaming battery life with just the
battery power you can actually
customize that to push the frame rate
because usually drops custom frame
in half but the battery life is about an
hour and a half or so something that's
not too crazy you're gonna be plugging
this
in to game so those are my thoughts on
the razer blade pro 17
i like the performance i like what it
brings to the table this is the
high-end gaming laptop and i think it
definitely delivers
again i will like to see the 4000 series
amd processor
in something like this because we've
seen how it's done in other laptops a
razer
check please let's see that phone i'll
be next year that's just my thoughts
uh alexis kind of performance and all
that kind of fun jazz but
again this is pretty cool if you want to
