The Razer Blade Pro is a solid all-around desktop replacement laptop, it has one of the most interesting designs out there and the Switchblade UI is not a gimmick. But if you're after the best gaming performance for the buck then we recommend looking elsewhere.

The Razer Blade Pro retains its sleek design and adds a new, improved Switchblade UI for gamers and creative professionals.

While we have no doubt that the Blade Pro hardware is of top quality, the GTX 960M and aging Switchblade will have a tougher time in the long run. With no higher GPU option available for now, the smaller and much more powerful Blade 14 is an easier and better recommendation for those looking to own a Razer system. Here's hoping that a redesign is in the works for the Blade Pro.

The Razer Blade Pro is a stunning looking laptop and thinner than competitor products. It runs cooler than the 14 inch version, but Razer should have included a GTX970M, as the GTX960M while capable at 1080p today, isn’t very future proofed.
