[RAZER BLADE PRO 17 2020 HANDS-ON / FIRST LOOK]
“Desktop replacement” laptops aren’t great for a life lived on the go. But in case you hadn’t noticed … we’re not doing a lot of “going” these days! In fact the furthest I’ve taken my computer for most of 2020 so far has been from one room of my apartment to the other, with maybe the occasional field trip up to the roof. For this kind of situation, where you’re never gonna be too far from a power outlet or a tabletop, but still want as much power and display real estate as possible, the desktop replacement laptop is ideal -- and the Razer Blade Pro 17 (2020) is one of the most capable you can buy. It also happens to be the very first Razer Blade I’ve ever used - so join me for my first thoughts after two days!

I7-1075H and RTX 2080 Super Max-Q: Say goodbye to your lap and balls
Pretty much!
Reminds me of that Key and Peele bit where they dropped hot water on their balls
ball sterilizer indeed.
@@TheMrMobile They can only have the battery so big before they run out of room for cooling the laptop. That's why for gaming it's better to have a desktop. The laptop would have to be the size of an HP Omen or Alienware laptop if you want a bigger battery. Razer is know for making thin gaming laptops.
Tech Ow my Balls!
2 hours playing a demanding graphics game in a 4K screen at full brightness?! Damn, that’s some good battery life!
I was really surprised to hear that since my laptop doesn't even allow 2h of web browsing on 1080p 60Hz, and it's only 2 years old. And then some people complain how 2h of gaming isn't enough and they expect 3-4h
It only has a 70.5Wh battery. That's much smaller than the 99Wh battery from the previous generation blade pro.
result maybe vary..... trust me some powerful game... most of the time the battary will gone within a hour...
This is how you know he was being honest about being a MacBook user.
Yes, we might remember Razer because of the gaming phones they made.
HA! That was clearly aimed at my fellow phone nerds!
@@TheMrMobile too much irony hahaha
I Love My Razer Phone 2. Best Phone I have owned for my usage. Sad there likely won't be a Razer Phone 3.
all lies - it is the toaster
@@amazonalexa8096 Psssh, been waiting on Min-Liang Tan to release that dang toaster forever. I don't think it's going to happen >:(

1:44 wtf gaming on ur lab.
Monster.
I know man laps are always labs for us
It’s called a gaming LAPtop for a reason. If you can’t use it on your lap what’s the point?
@@reychop laptop is a form factor, it can be used on lap on basic usage, but of course it'll get crispy when you're gaming. You can't beat the laws of physics.
If you're willing to sort of suffocate the machine (obviously not ideal, and I wouldn't recommend it for anything other than lighter titles), a decent gaming experience can be achieved by placing it front of you on a couch or bed. Terribly unergonomic though…
@@Rhino123freak This. Of course, you can write a Word document, browse the web, play a movie or do light gaming. But don't expect for it to not get hot when rendering a 4k video or playing the most graphically intensive games out there.
I've seen a lot of your reviews over the years.. but I've never seen you have so much fun reviewing this machine. Well done!
Oh man do I want one of these! That Rode Wireless Go sounds great too
You need more headphones
😁😁
Yes I fully agree with you o would love one of these.. I regret that I sold my gaming PC I got cheap as heck 😒but since my accident and not be able to work the money isn't the best 😕 But I'm going to save up to a new one even if it takes a while.. 😄
Thanks! It's not the highest quality but I do love the convenience. And the excuse to make my own combadge out of it. :)
I was impressed with the Mr. Mobile sticker on the Rode
Got mine to replace my old Razer blade 14 from 2015 and I can say It it quit perfect for me
- Beautiful 144hz screen
- Simple prenium design
- Good audio powered by Dolby
- Good battery life to work outside ( ~5h )
- Powerful enough to run all my games at 120fps minimum
- The temperature is about ~75 when I’m playing, it’s good compared to my old Razer with ~85
I think if you are looking for something powerful with a good battery life and portability, this is the right choice, it is worth the price.
Comparing the charger of the MacBook to This one is like comparing the motor of a Toyota Corolla to the Buggati Veyron and mocking it for being bigger.
8:21 love Jibo derping in the background
I'm enjoying the evolution your hair is undergoing during lockdown. Great video as always!
Imagine knowing Razer for their phones and not that amazing Chroma keybaord
And mice
I have one of there keyboard and mice.
razer gaming stuff is overrated to be honest i prefer logitech alternatives
@@Shaxzara i dont think razer is overrated, but then again everyone has their own preferences
@@Shaxzara tbh you're probably right.. although for a good reason. They generally make leading class tech. And so does logitech. It's all about preference like TheGamingMaster said.
I got the 2017 Razer pro. Amazing laptop. Truly desktop replacement. Definitely a hot laptop, so I do see battery bloat problem being a thing in future.
7:02 when you catch an eel in Minnesota
One thing you forgot to note, this new model supports USB type C charging! This probably couldn't charge when gaming, but is great for travel.
When I had to get my Razer Phone 2 replaced because of a defective USB-C port I had to wait over a month just to receive a replacement with the same issue. They then wanted to charge me for another replacement/repair.
My recent experience : bought a blade 15 a month ago , needed a motherboard replacement recently thank goodness i bought it from the microsoft store
That Excitement, I can feel that when I got my handson on my first Laptop back in 8 years ago
First time on your channel and first time watching your video, and I really enjoy it, you have great charisma. Thanks
Hair looks good!
Also great video by far the best reviews on TH-cam. Why else would I be watching a video about a laptop I will not and cannot buy?
I have the 2019 Pro model and it's still pretty amazing!
I really like the retro gaming shots. It gives me the 8 bit nostalgia. Good ol days.
2hrs with extreme use...daamn..that's a daamn good battery life🔥♥️
Damn, be audio was on point on this video!
I can’t imagine my last 20-years working in Architecture without a powerful 17” laptop at my desk. Dell XPS 17” through 2013, then the Aorus X7 through 2019 now the Razer Blade Pro 17”
Powerhouse and thin 17” laptop. Only buy the best of the best.
I love how Jibo is in the background looking out the window like a good little forlorn robot should.
Man! Your voice has a good quality for a high budget trailer 👍👌😎. Enjoyed the vid. I'm also yearning to buy a razer blade.
Hey Michael. Loved this video, but to be honest, I cannot wait for the next episode of Into the Fold. God, I love those folding screens. I cannot wait till they kick out the next few generations.
I actually just made the same switch. My previous laptop was a 2012 MBP Retina and i just got a Razer blade 15 base 2019. One of the biggest drawbacks of the Blade is that it does get very hot and the fans spin A Lot! The biggest gains are obviously the performance in productivity applications and games. I did have to go through much effort to cool the system down with changing the thermal paste and undervolting through Throttlestop. I have been able to significantly expand the battery life (to 4.5-7 hrs) and have the laptop typically running at 47-52C instead of 52-57C when I first got this thing.
i love how you use 90s peripherals and a 90s game to test a "gaming" notebook. it shows off one of the biggest advantages of PCs over many other platforms - compatibility.
very cool! im more of a laptop nerd than phone nerd, but it was interesting to see your take on this machine! i hope you check out more laptops in the future!
Whoa, was just wondering about this - crazy. Thanks for always coming through with great content when I need it.
I was just about to see if he did a review on the blade pro!
You have to use the Studio option to configure the lighting for each and every game! Then assign each game in the Profile tab. You can even set sensitivities for each games on a mouse
To answer your question @4:40 yes you can. You have to open the razer synapse program, go to the lighting tab, make a new keyboard profile, then open the chroma configurator and you can customize the keyboard lighting how ever you want
great review as always Mr. Mobile!
to get more control over the light you need to open the studio tab in razer synapse and from there you get to set the colours/effects key by key
Razer usually releases SDK for their RGB keyboards. You can do pretty much anything you want with it. e.g flash blue and red functions keys when you are wanted in gta 5. Although you will need programming experience to make it work and the mod support for the game as well.
It's so cute that Mr. Mobile calls it massive and desktop replacement. Maybe try one of those clevo barebone chassis or alienware area 51m with actual desktop hardware.
Not adding a numpad to a 15-inch is a shame, but not adding it to a 17-inch is a crime...
Trust me for the look part it's so much better without the num pad. I'm stuck with one but not so bad 😂
It reminds me of my old 2004 Sony viao 17”. A freaking monster with a 20 minute battery
It actually lasts 4.7 hours with normal usage whereas in the same test, the MBP 16" lasts 11 hours. BUT, when gamging, the Razer lasts 1.4 hours and the MBP 16" lasts 1 hour. So, under heavy load, the Razer outlasts the MBP 16" by a little but with regular use, the MBP 16" outlasts the razer by over 2 times. Source: notebookcheck.net
MrMobile: Bought a desktop replacement and was content for 4 years.
Me: Still using my Sony Vaio VGN-FE.
Man I just spotted the Nextel BlackBerry 7520 with the BlackBerry stand! Wow I just went back in time and reminisce!
Oh you can bind lighting profile per game. And more modern games even use the keyboard to tell you health, visualize footsteps, progress in healing items and much more
You can do game specific profiles! If you make a profile, you can use the app to link it to a game or app and it will automatically switch to that profile when you start. I use it for protools and some indie games, I think it's a highly underrated feature :)
Oh I love the 4K OLED 120 Hz :)) I wish the 15'' model has this fantastic display.
I would love to see your opinion on the XPS 17! Very well done video here, I liked how you approached this piece 👍
Would love to see a review and Mr Mobile take on one of the Acer ConceptD laptops for Creators
I miss the model with the screen in the trackpad on the right side of the keyboard. It looked pretty sweet!
I've got a Blade 15 Advanced (2018). First unit had a failing mic, followed by a failing webcam. I went through the support channels, and while it took a while all-in, I got an essentially brand new replacement unit shipped back to me. Common problems you'll hear about is coil whine in their power bricks - and that their laptops are simply over-speced for the amount of cooling they are capable of. This is similar to Apple, as both companies sacrifice a little function for form. I undervolt my CPU/GPU to balance the scales.
Omg, that star trek candy dish needs a video of its own!
I have a 2019 razer blade pro. Its amazing!
I just bought a Razor Base laptop open box 2019 for great deal, only issue which was main problem it didn't have the power adapter! I called Razor more than once to inquire about getting one. After enduring staying on the phone for over an hour, it connected and before I could say Hi they hung up 🥺 What a great experience so far...
Yes... more videos like this. As it can be "mobile" when operating within certain perimeters.
My girlfriend bought the 15 a little over a year and a half ago, been using it constantly and done everything from drawing/photo editing in photoshop to rendering 3D scenes in Maya with Vray with some After Effects work in-between and the only sign of age is a very slight but noticeable coil whine when the fans blow at full speed.
Hasn't reached the point where we'd call on support about it, yet. Outstanding machine besides that one flaw.
respect for the comeback of ports
MrMobile love the way your hair has been looking lately 👍🏼
New subscriber here, just popped by to say I'm really enjoying these reviews. FWIW I just pulled the trigger on the new Razer Studio (10th Gen with the RTX 5000) and it's fast become my favorite laptop. Being a content creator yourself I'd highly recommend checking out that edition, would love to hear your thoughts on it. Also just picked up a Razer Phone 2 (Black Satin) and you just can't beat the look and feel of that thing. Min-Liang Tan if you should read this please reconsider bringing back the mobile division-your take on smartphones was a refreshing change of pace!
Hello MrMobile!!!! Awesome video as always!!!
Lol Michael! You never play hardcore games on a gaming laptop on your lap! It will get warm. Especially if it was sitting on some kind of fabric or carpet that can actually block the bottom cooling vents. It's best to be put on a solid object like a desk or a table. And if you can put something underneath it on the back side to slightly raise it it would help even more. Trust me 😁
Ethernet cables are so useful in my college dorm! With it you get speeds around 300 mbps and without it you only get around 40 mbps! I use them all the time!
Plus you reconnect instantly on wired when the network resets every day at 3am for whatever reason... or was that just me
Mr. Mobile nails the background score yet again.
Imagine a MacBook user making the statement "for a price"
Mike as someone with small kids and no time, and has bought a cheap Logitech stick, I am jealous of your tie fighter experience, I am barely able to get mine to work and my 7 year old pc died. You give me hope there are other tie fighter nerds out there who can get it together ;)
Personally I just ordered a NZXT “Starter PC” which is my first pc ever and I’m do happy
Tie fighter :D
Great choice
I'm on my 3rd year with my 2018 15 Advanced and the only problem I had was the battery swelling last week. I'm sticking with Razer for gaming and Apple for everything else.
I used the older 17inch Pro, and yes it is huge and heavy, but it's still cute to hear him talk about how huge and heavy it is as if it's the largest thing ever lol
In Razer Synapse, you can mirror screen colors on to the keyboard. Same for Sound. Hope that helps with your tie fighter game.
I remember Tie Fighter, played it on 486, with mouse + keyboard!
Purchased (online from razer.com) a blade stealth (13) in late April 2020 and delivered in June 2020. the laptop works flawlessly as expected. 10/10 for RAZER this time.
I've had to send my blade stealth back for repair twice already, both times were enjoyable but I'm about to run out of warranty and I'm worried it'll die on me with no way to fix it.
Yeah man. This year I think XPS looks like a better deal
@@clickbaitpro Probably check out user reviews of the xps too...you wont find any greater joy there on the quality control department. Ex-xps user myself...hot garbage.
This is the reason why I haven't switched from my 16" pro. I hear too many stories about razer.
@@minimcune Yeah for some reason the battery is only rated for 300 cycles and there are some random sleep and hybernation issues. Also when you plug it in the screen goes black for a second for some reason. Don't own one, just looked at a bunch of reviews
Johann Razanadahy hey man, which model is yours? I’m thinking about to buy a base model, but I’m between Razer Blade 15 ou MacBook 16. I’m going to collage next month
My first and last Razr laptop GPU died 1 month after warranty ran out. It still worked off the intel chip. Used it a few more years with an External 1070 GPU for gaming and Adobe.
Mr. Mobile, can you review the new Chromebook Duet? It's on best buy, and it's running out of stock fast. It also seems right up your alley
For unbiased and trustworthy reviews this is the guy you would want to watch first!
Break out the thrustmaster 🤣😃 I like that
next year: A Razer user tries his first desktop PC
The candle was a nice touch.
quality video as always
You have to update the speaker drivers, not sure why they're not factory prepared. The sound will be twice as good once you do so.
Thank you always for your videos although I won’t find myself going out to buy one of these Razer machines.
Have you ever considered reviewing devices like the Osmo pocket, fimi palm, or the snoppa vmate. They are all pocket size gimbals and I would like to see your opinion on their cameras and features. Thanks :) love your channel, keep up your great work!!
I have the Razer Blade 15 from 2018. I’ve recently bought a MacBook Pro 16 to replace it. My blade 15 failed in a multitude of ways.
Microphone stopped working, webcam stopped working, many many blue screens, I had my first plastic hinge protector inside the laptop crumble into four peace’s and a replacement I bought and fitted myself also crumpled weeks after I replaced it. The razer logo stopped lighting up and I’ve had graphic abnormalities on the screen. I feel like I need to mention I do have extremely bad luck with technology despite how much I love and take care of any product. To give razer their dues, the did help me out and resolved almost all of the problems however, because of all of the issues I needed to send the device away for repair four weeks before a flight to film a documentary abroad the laptop did not get delivered in time and I was left without my work laptop. Once I got the laptop back I spent a day reinstalling and updating everything then the following day the fan that cools the GPU started violently vibrating and grinding the whole laptop and I had to shut it down and restart multiple times before the issue would go away only to come back the next time after I shut it down and didn’t use it for a few hours. For anyone still reading this I apologise wholeheartedly if this appears like a rant! Although the laptop failed me and I cannot recommend them to anyone it did ultimately serve me well despite it’s problems, at the end if the day it’s a tool for gaming and creativity (I mostly used it for editing and Minecraft every now and then)
00:45 i can see the "aura" next to his siblings!!
I've only switched over from a gaming laptop to, now, a desktop for three years. It's different not gaming where you want (i used a lap pillow to not fry my nether parts off). It's better now since I live in my house (with kids to boot) and can dedicate my gaming to one room but I have had many fun gaming years with my laptop for sure.
The razer is a high-end option for sure but very expensive, I think mine was custom-built half the price but I can't see a reason why not to get it, if you want to spend the money.
Thanks for the video
This makes me want.
It makes everyone want a 4000$ laptop
This is ironic since you got it lol
When a mrmobile video is released *happy dance*
I'm gonna throw my Razer experience into the ring here. I picked up a 2018 Blade 15 Advanced off Ebay last year, and despite the many, many issues the thing has had since then I still like it a lot. When I was first setting it up and installing updates, somehow both the built-in webcam and microphone broke such that they don't even show up in Device Manager anymore. The cooling on this machine is pretty bad, especially when "gaming mode" is activated. I was thermal throttling on even lighter games at low settings until I opened the thing up to clean and repaste it. And the Synapse software, while really fun and useful for Chroma and performance options, crashes over half the time I try to use it. I did quite a bit of digging on all these issues, and none of them seem that rare, but everyone who talked about it in the Razer subreddit or forums were immediately moved to private messages with Razer support instead of publishing any details. And predictably, when I contacted Razer support to get some information they refused to talk to me because I got my Blade second-hand. All that being said! The light-to-medium gaming, streaming, and audio production work I do with my Blade work perfectly well, and I still can't get enough of the 144hz display and tiny bezels. I doubt my next computer will be a Razer, but I'm keeping this one around as long as I can.
Mac is in full throttle everytime even if your not plugged in to an outlet, which is a much handy tool
Get a 'desktop replacement laptop' and play games on it by putting it in your lap!!!
What a genius idea!
I guess there might be some people out there who play games on desktops by stacking their keyboards atop their CPU cabinets over their legs...
the pro 17 has a relatively small battery because it's flanking two extra fans at the bottom to direct air flow and improve cooling performance and I think it's a well thought out compromise considering you won't be using it far from the wall anyway
This is a monster laptop. I love it very much🤩🤩
Should've gone with the studio edition. Smaller (15 inch 4k calibrated display), lighter, just as powerful, and spec'd out specifically for video editing (Quadro RTX 5000)... and it can game, although not as well as your current laptop, but it's capable. It's the same price, too.
Like the new hairstyle mr mobile 👍🏻, I bet you are missing your Barber has much as me.
Desperately. But thanks!
I love the blade so much
Love theSneaky reference to Monty Python and the Search for the Holy Grail!
8:21 - 9:10 That robot in the background!
It's an impressive machine, but the price (almost unavoidable) and Razer's quality reputation leave a lot to be desired.
It's good to not see the common desktop replacement bashing that goes around. They have their place and if you find them useful, well you probably find them *very* useful.
And yes, more reviews like this please!
The desktop replacement or desktop debate is a genuine one and shouldn't just be dismissed on either side. I've used my Y50 for 4 years as a desktop replacement and for university paired with a screen, and it's unreplaceable for that! But I've switched to a desktop which I plan on SFFing and will probably stay that way, since I can get one to last a lot longer and for a lot less. Barely any real users change tech out so much! Plus there's always the option to remote into it with an ultrabook around the house.
Quarantine hair looks good!
damn your reviews are nothing but excellent.
