It has an anodized finish fused to an aluminum chassis that should feel familiar to anyone who has handled an Apple product before.

After exchanging it for the Blade Pro, a veritable weight had been lifted from our shoulders. A phantom pain. Crack the laptop open, and youll find keyboard deck layout unlike most laptops youve seen before. Rather than positioning the trackpad beneath the keyboard, the Blade Pros pointing device is beside it on the right hand side. More than once, we found ourselves tickling the surface below the keyboard, but it doesnt take too long to get over this phantom pain. In fact, within an hour of playing with the Blade Pro, we were accustomed to the trackpads new placement, and can say it is the best one weve used on a laptop this year. Those that remember the first iteration of the Blade Pro might recall that this same space was once occupied with a digital touchpad and an optimistic, but ultimately flawed, Switchblade UI. However, this time around Razer has kicked the troublesome interface for an oversized glass lined surface for slicker cursor movements and more space to move around. The taller, squarer shape makes scrolling a breeze. Its an arrangement that feels familiar if youre used to having your mouse next to a keyboard and its also far more convenient to use than a trackpad positioned between the wrist rests. Mechanical marvel. As cool as the Blade Pros trackpad is, lets not overlook the keyboard. It may look like the standard chicklet layout weve seen on past Razer devices.

In addition to having a true actuation and reset point, the switches help the keyboard feel more like the one youd find attached to your gaming rig at home. MSI may have been the first to ramshackle a mechanical keyboard onto the MSI GT8. Titan, but Razer solution is more elegant, takes less space and is actually designed for a notebook. The only thing we wished Razer would include with these key switches is a tiny bit more travel for a crisper typing experience. As ever, Razers completely customizable Chroma lighting scheme makes its return with 1. On top of individually tweaking the colors on each key, you can now set up a rainbow to run a ring around the pointing device. The colorful customization is a welcome addition, otherwise the Blade Pros interior most notable feature would have been the two fat, featureless slabs of aluminum above and below the inputs. Pixel perfect display. The Razer Blade Pros most alluring feature is its 1. IGZO display which, beside the 4. K resolution, also supports 1. Adobe RGB spectrum, multi touch control and Nvidias frame rate smoothing G Sync tech. Few other gaming laptops come with a screen thats as full featured the only glaring omission being a 1.

Thanks to these features, the Razer Blade Pro lends itself to be just as good at rendering beautiful game worlds as it is for accurately color correcting videos.
