AORUS X7 V7 PCMARK 10 PRO
The Blade Pro GTX 1060 drops the mechanical switches for more standard membrane switches that clatter less than on the Blade Pro GTX 1080. One of the many key features of the Blade Pro GTX 1080 is its mechanical keyboard. Heavyweight alternatives like the GT72VR (3.8 kg) and Legion Y920 (4.4 kg) are still much bulkier. The Blade Pro may be categorized as a super-thin gaming notebook, but it's definitely a middleweight when it comes to portability. Despite being very close to the GS73VR in terms of length, width, and thickness, the Razer is over 700 g heavier (or 1.2 kg heavier if considering the vapor chamber-cooled Blade Pro GTX 1080). The sound build quality is reflected upon by the dense weight of the system. Perhaps its only disadvantages are down the center of its outer lid where warping is moderate and its fingerprint-loving matte surfaces. In contrast to the GS73VR, we can observe no creaking, depressions, gaps, or imperfections anywhere around our Blade Pro test unit. It's actually quite remarkable and is solid proof that it's possible to be very sleek without being any more fragile than sturdy giants like the GT73VR or Predator 17.

It's a unibody-like design philosophy that Razer has nailed down almost perfectly the Blade Pro is super-thin without any bending or rigidity issues normally associated with thin gaming notebooks like the MSI GS series or the Aorus X7 series. In short, there's no denying that Razer is aiming for the MacBook Pro crowd without all the visual bells and whistles normally found on competing gaming notebooks.
Our thoughts on the CNC chassis can be found on our original Blade Pro GTX 1080 review page. The internal differences between the Blade Pro GTX 1080 SKU and new Blade Pro GTX 1060 SKU are quite significant and we recommend checking out the official Razer product page and our table below for the concise list of changes. Are the design, quality, and features of the Razer that much better than the competition to warrant the price premium? How do performance and hardware temperatures compare to the almighty Blade Pro GTX 1080 or the recently launched MSI GS73VR 7RG? We'll be focusing on the key differences between the the Blade Pro GTX 1060, Blade Pro GTX 1080, and GS73VR 7RG for this review as more details on the visually identical chassis can already be found on our Blade Pro GTX 1080 page. Even with this in mind, however, several competing 17.3-inch notebooks like the Acer Predator Helios 300, Asus GL703VM, MSI GP72VR, and even Alienware 17 are each several hundred Dollars cheaper when configured with similar core specifications.
Now almost a year later, Razer has made a second SKU with more down-to-Earth specifications and for nearly half the price, at $2300 USD.

While still an immense improvement over the Maxwell-powered 2015 Blade Pro, its caveats are hard to ignore as detailed in our full rundown on the unit. Last year's Blade Pro refresh delivered on its genuinely insane promises of a 4K UHD touchscreen, mechanical keyboard, GTX 1080 GPU, unlocked Core i7-7820HK CPU, NVMe RAID 0, and vapor chamber cooling all wrapped in a super-sleek chassis that's thinner than even the Aorus X7 DT. If Apple ever made a gaming notebook, then it would probably look a lot like a Razer.
