Razer brought back its Blade Pro notebook late last year with fresh hardware that was worthy of the notebook’s “Pro” moniker. It was very well received and fans of the company’s gaming-oriented notebooks are going to like what it has to offer now. Razer has refreshed the Blade Pro lineup to the latest Kaby Lake processor from Intel. It also has the distinction of being the first ever THX-certified laptop.
The 17.3 inch laptop now comes with an overclockable 2.9 GHz Intel Core i7-7820HD processor and its 32GB RAM has received a timing bump to 2,667MHz from the 2,133MHz of the previous edition. It retains the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card.
What’s interesting about this laptop is that it’s said to be the first device notebook to get THX Mobile Certification which is an “accreditation reserved for high-performance mobile phones, tablets, and laptops.”
The Razer Blade Pro’s screen has been calibrated and tested for resolution, color accuracy, and video playback performance on THX processes. The audio jack has also met THX requirements for voltage output, frequency response, distortion, signal-to-noise ratio, and crosstalk.
An important distinction needs to be made here, only the screen and headphone jack are THX certified, not the built-in speakers.
The specs aren’t the only thing that has received a bump. The price has been increased as well. Razer is now selling the Blade Pro for $3,999. It will be available for purchase from Razer’s website starting next month.
