Razer Blade Pro (2015) Review (512GB SSD, 1TB HDD)

The tests were performed in a controlled air conditioned room with temperatures maintained at a constant 23c – a comfortable environment for the majority of people reading this.Idle temperatures were measured after sitting at the desktop for 30 minutes.

Load measurements were acquired by playing Tomb Raider for 30 minutes and measuring the peak temperature. All fan settings were left on automatic.
temps
The Razer Blade Pro runs much cooler than the smaller 14 inch model. The Intel Core i7 4720HQ runs around 17c cooler under load than the same processor inside the 14 inch chassis. The processor does not throttle.

To test the real world impact of heat I looped 3DMark and measured temperatures on the keyboard of the laptop with our Fluke Visual IR Thermometer/Infrared Thermal Camera. This is a real world running environment.

Details on each test are shown below. (To compare, head to THIS page to see thermal testing of the Razer Blade 14 (2015).
overview
The chassis feels quite cool to the touch, even after 15 minutes of looped synthetic stress tests. This is around 13c cooler than the 14 inch Blade. Staggering differences.
hottest point
After 30 minutes, we measured the hottest spot on chassis – close to the F5 and F6 keys. It measured 34C. By comparison the Razer Blade 14 was around 48c in the top corners.
left vent
The Core i7 cooler is positioned top left (from above) and warm air is expelled out the side of the chassis – captured in the thermal image above. Temperatures measured up to 33c in this area.
right vent
The GTX960M cooler is positioned top right (from above) and warm air is expelled out the side of the chassis – captured in the thermal image above. Temperatures measured up to 31c in this area.

  1. It’s been like this for a while. Stronger GPU in the 14″. GTX X70 in 14″ and X60 in 17″. I understand the 17″ probably only comes with a 1080p screen but they need to realize a 960M will not be enough to even power a 1080P screen and Max settings in video games. Even a 970m is probably not enough for max 1080P gaming.

  3. Let me guess. Costs arm and a leg and obsolete in months. Battery will fail in 6?. You watch. Not long after purchase, people will flog them on ebay for quarter of the cost. “Gaming laptops” – Rapidly becoming an oxymoron.

  5. The laptop is just amazing, the best… The support the WORST!!!

    If you have problems with your Razer Pro, as me that my battery get damaged, you simply can’t buy the battery.

    You need to send the Razer Pro to his headquarters and wait they return again it.

    If you get a simply cable damaged the same.

    Don’t buy Razer products because if you have some problem you can’t buy the replacement part.

    Take care!!!!
