Razer Blade Pro 17

Price: £2,399 from fave.co/2Z11Erz

Not long ago gaming laptops were big, bulky beasts that were more akin to a portable PC tower than a sexy, sleek laptop. However, companies including Razer have made leaps and bounds in the laptop design department over the past few years and now offer products that are both powerful and sleek. Razer’s Blade Pro 17 is the company’s top-of-the-line 17.3in laptop for gamers, offering desktop-level graphics in a chassis that’s not only 25 percent thinner than its predecessor, but small enough to fit in most 15in laptop bags too. Is it enough to solidify its place among the best gaming laptops available? We think so.

Price

If you thought the £1,699 starting price of the standard Razer Blade 15 was high, you might wince at the £2,399 starting price for the Razer Blade Pro. It doesn’t end there either, as you can pick up the mid-range model for £2,679 and the high-end model for £3,079.

The high-end price tag puts it in direct competition not only with Razer’s own high-end Blade 15, but the likes of the Alienware Area-51m (from £1,948) and budget-friendly Aorus 15 X9 (from £1,999). For our round-up of the best gaming laptops go to page 48.

Here’s a breakdown of the Razer Blade Pro 17
