Razer Blade Pro Review (w/ Core i7; GTX 1060)

Rating: 8.0.

We’ve seen Razer Blade laptops before, but nothing like the Blade Pro. This updated machine is designed to appeal to gamers and professionals in equal measure – and it does that by mixing superb design with high-end components. With the model in question being the slightly cheaper GTX 1060 variant, can the Blade Pro do enough in terms of price-to-performance? Let's find out.

The slick looks and powerful silicon is paired with a selection of tasty extras, too, including Killer-branded networking, a 120Hz IPS screen and an innovative repositioning of the keyboard and trackpad – but you’ll have to pay more than £2,000 for this slim, powerful machine. Can it possibly be worth it?
