Although it will be three years old in a few months, the Razer Blade Pro 17 (2020) still has only a few competitors when it comes to its generous 17.3-inch FHD display with 300 Hz refresh rate. Our in-depth review revealed that the model with Intel Core i7-10875H and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q, priced at US$2,600 back in late June 2020, comes with a refresh rate which “is a luxury that only the most hardcore gamers will really want” and is one of the fastest gaming laptops to use the aforementioned video card. Now, the model with the same processor and the faster NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 Max-Q is discounted to US$2,199.99, a 31% drop from the US$3,199.99 list price.
Sharing the 113 Amazon ratings with the similar version that sports a 4K 120 Hz display (model RZ09-03295E63-R3U1), the Razer Blade Pro 17 (RZ09-03295E42-R3U1) has a global rating of 3.9/5. This score is the result of 56% perfect ratings, 15% 4/5 user reviews, but it also got no less than 16% minimum scores of 1/5 stars. The breakdown by feature focuses on five attributes, namely value for money (4.7), quality of materials (4.4), touchscreen (a surprising score of 4.2, considering it has no touchscreen display), gaming performance (4.2), and battery life ( only 3.1).
In addition to the laptop, a 33% discount bundle brings the Razer Blade Pro 17 (RZ09-03295E42-R3U1) with a 2 TB external SSD by Seagate, which should be a welcome addition to the 512 GB internal SSD for most users.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years I’ve been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
