So much better than before: Razer Blade Pro 17 Laptop Review

[Allen.Ngo]

Does this laptop support being charged by either type-C port? I'm not sure that "Thunderbolt 3" implies that particular capability, so I have to ask.

This is my favorite feature on my blade stealth (charge from left or right side using a standard charger), so I hope it has translated up to the larger laptops.

We just tested this earlier today with a 130 W USB Type-C AC adapter from Dell. Unfortunately, the Blade would not charge no matter which USB Type-C port we connected to.

Thanks, though I should say just as I thought.

Performance numbers and comparison are just phony bullshit!

For cinebench and witcher tests, line chart shows one numbers (min/avg/max) and bar chart for some laptops shows either random numbers (sometimes event with avg>max wtf?!) or just max score (which is useless as laptops rarely operate on constant maximum frequency). Some laptops are even claimed to be tested with max fan set! This is not only irrelevant for general comparison but also puts its result in favour against other devices turning the whole thing into mess!

The final score for performance doesn't mean anything and is practically useless for comparison purpose!

Cinebench:
Razer Blade Pro 17 RTX: Ø1076 (1067.18-1187.86) in line chart, 1180 in bar chart.
Asus ROG Strix Scar II GL704GW: Ø1187 (1126.76-1226.54), and for bars: 1204.
Asus is just 2% faster in CPU Multi, but really 10% by average score. WTF?&

Witcher:
Razer Blade Pro 17 RTX: Ø83.5 (31-90) and 87.4
Asus ROG Strix Scar II GL704GW: Ø70.1 (61-75) and 71.8

WTF&71!? Is all the database on this website complete nonsense?7

Thank you very much for testing this for me!

Having two type-C ports seems much less useful for me in this case.

I believe that this is the first laptop that has two type-C ports where neither one can charge, correct me if I am wrong.

There isn't a single photo of the keyboard layout in this lengthy review of the top scoring notebook. Keyboard layout matters a lot!

Ummm, you could find this on the official site. It's exactly the same as Blade 15's.
