Razer studied the blade.
I wasn’t expecting much out of the battery life. Our previous reviews from 2020 and 2019 had the Blade Pro 17 sitting at under three hours. But since then, Razer has increased the battery from 70.5Wh to 82Wh. And yet, I managed to get just about three hours of productivity from this new one. All that was running was about 12 tabs within Microsoft Edge, which included web versions of Slack and Spotify.
Razer deserves a little credit, as it at least added more resistance to the power key than the others. I noticed this in Alienware’s X14, as well, but it was still a little too easy to press with the Blade 17. That quibble aside, Razer’s keyboard remains one of the best in the business. Its keyboard feels familiar and comfortable to use, even though months go by between my testing of each of Razer’s laptops. As for whether I’ll warm up to the new power button location, it’s not likely.
As with other Windows computers, the Blade 17 presents you with multiple things to agree to or decline upon setup.A request for your region and keyboard layoutConnect to Wi-Fi networkDevice privacy settings: Find My Device, Inking and Typing, Advertising ID, Location, Diagnostic data, Tailored experiences
Razer is touting better speaker performance in its 2022 Blade 17. Under the speaker grilles that flank the keyboard , there are four tweeters and four subwoofers that claim to power better stereo sound, especially with its THX spatial audio app built-in. For music, I preferred the sound quality with the setting off. I felt similarly about game audio. The spatial audio, when played through the speakers, removes some of the mids, leaving music and games sounding too airy and shrill.
