I mean the 10th gen intel is fine but would have loved to see Ryzen since the intel chips already run just as hot or even more so. Would have made it a productivity beast but I guess Razer is targeting gamers with this release more.

Oow, the new Razer Blade Pro 17 is freaky good! This laptop could run every game in the next 2-3 years at max for sure.

One question because I didn't see if the display is flicker free, at all levels of brightness?

So I'm trying to figure this out. Previously, I was looking at the latest Blade 15 Advanced with an OLED display, except it is backordered. Now there is the new Blade Pro 17, and aside from the lack of OLED and the addition of an Ethernet port, I don't see much difference. Similarly configured, the Blade Pro 17 is $500 more that the new 15 Advanced but I'm scratching my head as to why. The CPU for both is the i7-10875H, both GPUs are the RTX 2080 Super Max-Q, so performance will be equal. Oddly, the battery on the Blade Pro 17 is a lower capacity 70.5Whr, compared to the 80Whr on the 15 Advanced. Is the 120Hz 4k panel on the Blade 17 really $500 more than a 15" OLED screen?

I'm torn, the Blade 17 does allow for 2 M.2 devices, so more expansion, and it's in stock - at least for now. I just have become absolutely spoiled with OLED displays, but that is not an option on any 17" machine yet, so by getting the Blade 17, I feel as though I'm giving up a better screen on the 15 Advanced (at least for my purposes) and longer lasting battery. Thoughts???

No performance would be better on Blade pro, due better cooling solution and bigger cooling head room, last gen was also similar cpu gpu combination but pro model use higher gpu tdp that even better than most maxq laptops out there, for example on jerrodtech rtx2070 maxq Blade pro 2019, it beats performance most 2080maxq laptops he reviewed, and gpu synthetic benchmark showed 2080maxq Blade pro put in same range with an alienware Area 51m with full fat rtx 2070 desktop with two powerbrick and almost twice overall weight including power adapter.
About 4K Oled vs 4K 120 Hz as a Gamer i personally would vote the later with all of my heart for sure, 60Hz is maybe for video editor, I’ll cry having 60Hz with that beast gpu.

The 300hz refresh rate is nice but does anyone actually know what the response time is like and is it comparable to a desktop 144hz 1ms gtg response time experience for CSGO and valorant?

Agree, Mine is the same way. Hopefully they will release an update for this soon?

Did a support ticket Friday about this issue and about not being able to register my brand new blade pro 17. Let's see if it takes 1 month again to resolve this.

There is a new firmware:

Release Date: 29 Jun 2020
Driver Description Version
Razer Blade Pro 17” (2020) BIOS Firmware Updater v1.03

http://drivers.razersupport.com//index.php?_m=downloads&_a=view&parentcategoryid=1005&pcid=996&nav=0,350,996

Many thanks, I will give it a try and see whether it resolve the driver problem

@4K2HD It might be worth mentioning to you because i think you're a bit mislead about what XMP is for.

XMP is only available in your bios after the 1.3 update if you have compatible ram installed. It isn't an option for the stock ram as that ram does not come with an XMP profile on the chip. You would need to replace your ram with a compatible ram kit that includes and XMP profile, then the setting will show up.

I've ordered the Pro 17 4k 120mhz and it should arrive very soon. I have been using a Sager/Clevo for the past several years and I'm not up-to-date on hardware now. I get that the following items are probably overkill, but I'd appreciate your respective thoughts.

First, I'd like to make sure I'm selecting a ram upgrade that will be compatible and whose speed isn't wasted. Maybe I'm just missing something, but I cant find literature on what ram is compatible and what clock the max frequency is. I am considering Crucial Ballistix SODIMM 64GB (32GBx2) DDR4 3200 MT/s which has a 16 CL. Can anyone comment on whether 3200 is viable here? Can anyone comment on the compatibility and/or limitations of this ram with this computer? Can anyone recommend anything better for this use case?

Second, I am considering installing a second M.2 Drive (and, perhaps, using it as the boot drive). The drive I am considering is the Sabrent 2TB Rocket Nvme PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal SSD. I am concerned as to whether this drive will operate well in the closed case environment. I'm also not perfectly certain that this motherboard/computer is gen 4 capable. Does anyone have any thoughts on this drive for this use case? Does anyone know if this motherboard/computer has gen 4 M.2 ability? Can anyone recommend anything better for this use case?

Thanks everyone!

It's an awesome computer you will love it!

Although it is a 2080 Super Max Q, I've been able to get up to 120w power limit performance out of the graphics card, so it performs more like a non Max Q version.

For the RAM I would advise to just upgrade with the compatible 2933Mhz because BIOS 1.0 doesn't currently support XMP even with compatible RAM, but it does support undevolting. They released BIOS 1.03 that apparently does support XMP profiles but it removes undervolt. Meaning you are forced to decide between either undervolt or the extra 300Mhz you get with 3200Mhz. Performance wise, with the undervolt of about -120v you get a significant boost for CPU so I wouldn't update the BIOS yet and stay with undervolt with 2933Mhz at either 32gb or 64gb RAM.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Ciao,

Can Razer Official give us an update on the Nvidia Geforce Experience Driver update situation?

A 300Hz panel ??
300Hz panel ??

Is it mean to say that I wish my laptop would crap out, so i get a better one cuz cmon 300Hz panel ???


Honestly, the 300hz option is amazing, but the 4k touch 120hz is something otherworldly in terms of how good it works. Not so great for in games due to pushing 4k with good FPS out of a 2080 super max q is kinda difficult, but i find that the screen looks super sharp at 1440p as well.

Hi Guys! I've gotten my Razer 17 Pro all running, with the Sabrent Rocket 2tb as main drive, the OEM hard drive as the spare hard drive, and I've installed 64 gb of 3200mhz Ballistix Ram (only running at 2666mhz sadly as I've not yet been able to bring myself to update the bios, nor have I tried undervolting yet to take advantage of the current bios's allowance for it).

My question today is: I'd like to know if I can purchase a spare power brick for this laptop. I see a number of bricks available for other models, and one for a prior 17 (but with higher wattage and a different size to it). Does anyone know how to get additional OEM bricks for the 2020 Pro 17?

Welcome to the Club!
If you are not Undervolting then by all means update the BIOS and get your 3200mhz, otherwise buy other RAM that will support 64Gb 2933Mhz.
Why would you want another brick? Makes no sense! Because the GPU runs max at 120w and the CPU 65w, meaning that you are not held back by the brick.
If anything, these 2020 models allow for USBC charging up to 100w so get one of those instead and only use the 230w brick when you game.
