If you thought the £1,699 starting price of the standard
Razer Blade 15 was high, you might wince at the £2,
starting price for the Razer Blade Pro. It doesn’t end
there either, as you can pick up the mid-range model
for £2,679 and the high-end model for £3,079.
The high-end price tag puts it in direct competition
not only with Razer’s own high-end Blade 15, but the
likes of the Alienware Area-51m (from £1,948) and
budget-friendly Aorus 15 X9 (from £1,999). For our
round-up of the best gaming laptops go to page 48.
Here’s a breakdown of the Razer Blade Pro 17
pricing to give you a better idea of what’s on offer:£2,399: 16GB RAM, 512GB, RTX 2060
£2,679: 16GB RAM, 512GB, RTX 2070 Max-Q
£3,079: 16GB RAM, 512GB, RTX 2080Design
The Razer Blade Pro 17 follows a similar design
aesthetic to the rest of the Razer collection, including
the Blade 15 and even the Razer Phone 2, complete
with a black-and-green colour scheme and a bold,
angular design that looks sleek. It’s certainly a step
away from the in-your-face gaming laptop design on
offer by the likes of Alienware, with the understated
Blade Pro 17 looking just as good at the office as it
does playing games at home.
Its chassis has an anodized matte black finish, which
in addition to looking good and keeping fingerprints
at bay, helps the laptop stay scratch- and scuff-free,
although we’re not in the position to start defacing it inNOVEMBER 2019 • TECH ADVISOR 5REVIEWPrice
