Conclusion

...a 1080p IPS screen touting two features that hold genuine sway with the target audience; an anti-reflective matte finish; and a fast 120Hz refresh rate.

Razer has extended the reach of its 17.3in Razer Blade Pro laptop with the addition of a second, more affordable model dubbed the Blade Pro Full HD.

Geared for gaming first and foremost, the key point of differentiation is the change from a 4K IGZO panel to a 1080p IPS screen touting two features that hold genuine sway with the target audience; an anti-reflective matte finish; and a fast 120Hz refresh rate.

Coinciding with the change of display, the supporting cast has been revised accordingly with a Core i7-7700HQ, 16GB of memory and mid-range graphics in the form of a GeForce GTX 1060. Such changes have sent the entry fee tumbling to £2,100, and though the Razer offering remains dearer than many competitors, Blade Pro Full HD maintains its appeal through solid build quality, sleek presentation, excellent speakers and zero bloatware.

Bottom line: the trackpad position takes some getting used to, but if you've been hoping to see the specification of the 14in Razer Blade in a desktop-replacement form factor, the Blade Pro Full HD has answered your call.

Stupid, stupid trackpad placement. That's us left-handed people left out, but who would be gaming with the trackpad anyway.
I will take what ever Razer is smoking. One could get a laptop with a 1070, hell maybe even a 1080, inside of it from competitors at the same price as that laptop.
What Decends said. It might be a beautiful laptop, but with the components of a £1200 laptop at a £2000+ price point, there's no real market for this product…
if this laptop came with a 1070, it would be grouse, not a 1060 as standard
