70Whr battery? actually smaller than the RB15, guess the extra fans took up some of the space.
-
Hmm why maxq, it’s huge, Pro, and have more fans, no display port!? And what the heck that fan on bottom, for cooling the battery?

Thanks guys. Really wishing for a larger resolution screen option. Would love to see a WQHD 2560x1440 on that 17" display.

Oh man, sorry I missed that video - anybody capture any pics by any chance?

Looks like a gray colored case and huge Mac-like trackpad on the bottom. With so much extra room for cooling, this could be the 90 watt 2080 Max Q with little thermal throttling / low fan noise.
So is there a press embargo going on? Maybe more info is supposed to hit tomorrow.Attached Files:

Looks like the 9750H is actually 8 core, which will be a decent boost in games. Expected to be announced tomorrow: https://www.tomshardware.com/news/msi-intel-i9-9980hk-i9-9750h-laptop,39130.html

You get a bigger laptop! But also a smaller battery! So I guess they used the extra room to add a compartment to store our disappointment? Because I don't follow that logic

Disgusting; TFT 1080p display only
, I'll pass. If this had an IPS 2560x1440 I would buy in a heartbeat.

I was hoping Razer would do something innovative with displays here, but not so much....rb6freak likes this. -

Why no 1440p options? I would love a 1440p 120Hz display since those new cards can push some serious FPS

Wow... "Pro" laptop with a TFT display and 1080p. They sell the RB15 now with 240Hz IPS and 4K OLED but have only garbage from 2005 in the 17 Pro... And what's with that keyboard? SO much space and no num-pad or atleast some macro keys. Atleast the rest of the hardware is decent, with nice port selection and what looks like some cooling for M.2s.

Sure it’s not for everyone but there isn’t a reason not to include one on a device this big.
I mean sure, it offsets the WASD keys, but the laptop is already big enough to offset by a considerable amount already, so shifting another inch over wouldn’t be much better or worseArondel likes this. -
But I can tall you I have some OC'd with straightness and squaring things up. I spent like twenty minutes making sure my desktop screen was level when I first got it. It was off by a quarter inch and I could see it somehow. It's a curse I tell you! -
I'm very OCD about stuff like that but the rest of the laptop design kinda saves it.Terreos likes this. -
That's why I use a mouse. . .forget the trackpad is there. -

Also OCD is a curse, I can understand people throwing a fit over things not being aligned or perfectly centered -
TFT is the very fundamental and basic technology for liquid crystal display (LCD). Both TN and IPS are developed base on TFT. The full name used in industry is IPS-TFT-LCD and TN-TFT-LCD.
IPS and TN are comparable, but TFT is not.
For sure, we will see 240hz display or even OLED on the 17 model later this year or next year. However, there is no such 240hz display for 17 inch machine. So, 144hz and 4K are the only two option that Razer can offer on the pro right now. Unless you want a 2k 120hz TN that Alienware is offering.jeremyshaw likes this. -

When I was a full-time OS X user a few years back, I always wanted a 17-inch MacBook Pro. If someone could find a way to Hackintosh this thing, it would be a dream. -

Blade 15
Yes technically both panel types are thin film transistor (TFT) panels. Cheap TFT displays are usually "TN" TFT-LCDs. The less expensive TN panels have lower color fidelity - usually 18-bit - while IPS panels can display 24-bit truecolor. So Blade Pro again use not ips but also not cheap “TN” TFT panel, you know there’s some great TN panels nowadays with not bad viewing angles like Alienware monitors use. -

Has Razer said when the new 17in will be available? I just heard a vague "sometime in May", but no indications of when exactly.
-
Linus did a video recently by using linux to use a virtual machine to run mac os. They did use a desktop so maybe it's not useable for a laptop. Though he does claim in the title to run MacOS on ANY PC. So might be worth a look.

Newegg shows IPS

The cooling on the 17 pro may actually give great performance for the 9750H. Those vents that open up near the screen are wicked. Rocking full 6 core speeds without high fan speeds and temps would be great!
Is it just me or does it look like the keyboard may be the exact same as the 15 model? Like the same exact one. The speaker grilles are wider.. -
Thermal should be good. Keyboard is exact same as Blade 15. -
I like the two chassis fans and am very interesting in seeing someone open this thing up after embargo. In my RBP 1080, the main chassis components get absurdly hot due to heat soak from the unibody chassis. PCH, SSDs, battery...they all feel the heat from the CPU/GPU. I've always thought about cutting into the bottom panel with a dremel and then mounting a small external fan under my laptop stand. This would force air through from front to back. I'm guessing both of these new fans are just upstream of the dual SSDs and should work wonders in keeping the mid section cooler. Not much can be done to mitigate the heat conducting to the front through the unibody though. Overall, I'm anxious to see how this thing runs.
