Razer has just announced its new Blade Pro gaming notebook, which it says has been designed from the ground up.

The new Blade Pro comes with a 17-inch 4K IGZO G-Sync capable display and is powered by a quad-core Intel Core i7-6700HQ processor along with NVIDIA's very powerful GeForce GTX 1080 GPU.

As for memory, the Blade Pro will come with a whopping 32GB of DDR4 RAM.

In terms of storage, the Blade Pro will be offered in three capacities - 512GB, 1TB and 2TB. All three will be RAID 0-enabled and will use dual PCIe-based M.2 SSDs.

The Blade Pro will also come with a mechanical keyboard that will support Razer's Chroma SDK for customized lighting effects. To the side of the keyboard is a large glass trackpad and even a scroll wheel that can be customized for quick in-game actions.

Designed with gamers in mind, the Blade Pro will offer a plethora of ports and connectivity options. It features a USB Type-C port that supports Thunderbolt 3, three USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI 2.0 port, and even an Ethernet jack.

And if that's not enough, the Blade Pro also comes with Killer DoubleShot Pro connectivity for improved wireless gaming - Killer Wireless-AC 1535 and Killer E2400.

Finally, and perhaps most amazing of all, the Razer Blade Pro will be just 22.5mm thick and will weigh around 3.5kg. That's impressive for a 17-inch gaming notebook that's armed to the teeth with the latest gaming hardware.

The Razer Blade Pro will start shipping this November and prices will begin at US$3,399 (~S$4,713).
