Razer has just upgraded its upcoming gaming laptop with new features and certification.

Referred to as the Razer Blade Pro 2017, the newest lineup is expected to feature a more powerful processor from its predecessor, particularly the Kaby Lake seventh-generation quad-core Intel i7 central processing unit (CPU). Aside from this, it comes with 32 GB of 2667 MHz double data rate fourth-generation synchronous dynamic random access memory (DDR4 SDRAM), which is an improvement from last year's 2133 MHz RAM.

For its storage, users have three RAID 0 capacity options of 512 GB, 1 TB, and 2 TB through the aid of peripheral component interconnect express (PCIe) M.2 solid state drives (SSDs). As for its graphics, the Razer Blade Pro 2017 houses the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 graphics processing unit (GPU).

Other features that can be expected in the upcoming gaming laptop include a built-in SD card reader, three USB 3.0 ports, and a Thunderbolt 3 port. Despite being heavily packed under its hood, it is expected to be thin and lightweight, measuring only 0.88 inches thick and weighing 7.69 pounds.

On top of all these upgraded specifications and features, the Razer Blade Pro 2017 also boasts a THX certification for its audio and video.

The THX video certification is used to assess the color accuracy, playback performance, and resolution of the laptop. On the other hand, the THX sound certification is used to measure the voltage output, frequency response, distortion, signal-to-noise ratio, and crosstalk for the headphone output of the device. Along with all its internal upgrades, the Razer Blade Pro 2017 promises to be truly an excellent gaming and professional laptop.

According to Razer CEO and co-founder Min-Liang Tan, "The Blade Pro was recently hailed as the ultimate Windows laptop, and we've leveled-up on our previous achievements with certification by THX."

He added, "Each refinement of the Razer Blade Pro moves us closer to an ultimate desktop replacement."

The Razer Blade Pro 2017 is expected to be available in stores this month with a starting cost of $3,999.
