And all it’ll cost you is a cool $4,000.

Razer has announced the new Razer Blade Pro laptop. It is the first laptop to be qualified for THX Mobile Certification, an accreditation reserved for high-performance mobile phones, tablets and laptops. THX Certification covers the display and audio output of Razer’s flagship computer.

Through the processes of THX, the Razer Blade Pro screen is calibrated and tested for resolution, color accuracy and video playback performance. The result of the exercise is an unrivaled viewing experience in any instance, whether a person is playing an FPS game or enjoying a special effects-packed movie. It’s also probably a nice way to jack up the price.

The new Razer Blade Pro features an overclocked 7^th generation Intel Core i7 quad core processor that boosts performance for hardcore gamers, VR enthusiasts, developers and creative professionals. Razer Synapse software allows users to choose when to run the system in overclock mode. The new Razer Blade Pro also uses faster 32 GB DDR4 system memory than its predecessor: 2667MHz vs. 2133MHz previously.

For extreme (heavy emphasis on the X no doubt) graphics and virtual reality programs, the Razer Blade Pro is the thinnest laptop with the latest NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 GPU. Users are able to play games in ultra-high settings with 4K resolution.

The THX Certified Razer Blade Pro features a 17.3-inch 4K IGZO monitor equipped with NVIDIA G-SYNC technology for the smoothest possible framerates during gaming and video playback. The display offers 100 percent Adobe RGB color accuracy to deliver stunning visuals for gamers and graphic designers. Other highlights include storage of up to 2 TB of PCIe M.2 SSD in RAID 0 configuration, a built-in SD card reader, advanced connectivity options through three USB 3.0 ports, and a Thunderbolt
3 port.

The Razer Blade Pro is also equipped with Ultra-Low-Profile Mechanical switches with true actuation and reset points. Presses are registered with 65 grams of force, mimicking the feel of full-size mechanical keyboards. The keyboard and trackpad are Powered by Razer Chroma. This tri-color LED technology affords virtually endless lighting effects that can be customized and synced with in-game events.

While other similarly equipped laptops are more than two inches thick and 10 pounds, the new Blade Pro has a CNC aluminum chassis that is 0.88 inches thin and eight pounds. Its 250 W AC adapter was likewise designed with mobility in mind, affording a smaller footprint than similarly powered laptops.

The new Razer Blade Pro will be available soon (April 2017) in North America via Razerzone.com and at select retailers. For more information, visit razerzone.com/bladepro.
