Compared to the predecessor, the newer model is 25% smaller in size and boasts a faster 17.3″ display in a 15″ form factor. Now the latest Razer Blade Pro 17 (2020) incorporates a display that offers an extremely fast refresh rate of 300Hz.
New Razer Blade Pro 17 (2020) Features
10th Gen Intel Processor
The new Razer Blade Pro 17 2020 comes with a powerful Intel Core i7-10875H processor that can reach turbo boost clock up to 5.1GHz. This CPU supports 8 cores and offers 16MB of cache memory. With a base/boost clock of 2.3GHz/5.1GHz, this laptop can deliver amazing results for both gaming & content creation.
Powerful NVIDIA RTX GPU
Supporting up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Super Max-Q GPU, the new Razer Blade Pro 17 2020 can easily fulfill extreme gaming needs. Video editors will greatly admire the overall graphics performance. If you think that even the RTX 2080 Super Max-Q is not enough, you can add an external GPU (eGPU) via Thunderbolt 3 port. This will take the laptop’s graphics performance to a whole new level.
Faster Display
One of the salient features of the new Razer Blade Pro 17 2020 is the 17.3″ Full HD IPS display that offers an outstanding refresh rate of 300Hz. The combination of 300Hz display and NVIDIA’s powerful RTX GPU makes this laptop a great choice for hardcore gamers. In terms of color accuracy and brightness, the display of the latest Blade Pro 17 can cover up to 100% sRGB color gamut & offer 300 nits brightness.
Razer also offers a higher resolution (4K UHD) touchscreen display option for the new Blade Pro 17 2020. But you do lose that 300Hz refresh rate tag with the 4K (3840 x 2160) touch screen. At maximum, this model will be able to offer a refresh rate of 120Hz. For photo and video editors, this 4K display option makes more sense. Compared to the Full HD model, the 4k UHD Razer Blade Pro 17 2020 model offers higher brightness (400 nits) & wider color gamut (100% Adobe RGB).
Memory & Storage
Both of the Full HD & 4K UHD display models are customizable and upgradeable up to 64GB of Dual-channel DDR4 RAM. For storage, you can max out the new Razer Blade Pro 17 with up to 2 TB M.2 SSD.
