Razer Blade Pro 17 RTX 2060 Laptop Review: How does it Compare to the RTX 2080 Max-Q?

[Redaktion]

The Blade Pro 17 has the fastest GeForce RTX 2060 we've tested thus far to be just 25 percent slower than the RTX 2080 Max-Q. Perhaps not coincidentally, it also costs about 25 percent less than the Blade Pro 17 RTX 2080 Max-Q SKU.

It's not right that Razer ships all of its Blade 15 with Samsung SSDs. I got my Blade 15 RTX2060 last month with the slower Lite-On drive.   :'(

Yes, some lower-end Blades such as the base model with RTX 2060 still ship with Lite-On SSDs. Another point to note - at least test the 2070 Max-Q model saying it'll only be 5-10% ahead. Most reviewers with that particular Blade Pro unit are noticing Time Spy scores of around 7500 and above, making it as fast as a 2080MQ 15" laptop. For some reason this website seems to have a grudge against the 2070 MQ.

my Blade 15 OLED with RTX 2080 Max-Q came with a Lite-On SSD as well :/

It would be great to include results with undervolting for the CPU and GPU. The review of Dell and Lenovo Laptops often has results with undervolting.

Wow, that's just unbelievable, for a device of this tier I'll return indefinitely until I get a Samsung.

The vapor chamber is obviously not useless as 2060 has the exact same TDP as 2070MQ and 2080MQ therefore the same amount of heat to dissipate. OTOH the 11% higher measured power consumption points to the fact that either Nvidia is not entirely honest about the power envelope or Razer's made some modifications without being transparent about it.

You state it's close in performance to the 2070MQ making it less of a bargain, but you do not have a RB 17 2019 2070MQ to benchmark. Other reviewers have shown it going head to head (and beating) the RB15 2080MQ.

If they introduce 4-key shortcuts they can start shipping the laptop with about 15-18 buttons. That will save so much cost and space.
Who needs Page Up, Page Down, Home, End?
And why not put an extra Fn key at the lower right corner. I mean that can help with the 4-key shortcuts.
Great laptop utterly degraded by a useless keyboard.

Any owner of this laptop with 144Hz 1080p and any GPU? Could you check yours IPS panel manufacture? Mine 2 samples of Blade Pro RTX2070 not using decent AUO panel as in review, but rather bad and cheap panel same as in example Tonhgang Schenker XMG Neo 17 :/
