Razer Blade 17 returns with up to 300Hz display and other upgrades

The Razer Blade 17 makes a big return this year with an all new model packing Nvidia RTX graphics, Intel 10th Gen CPUs and on top of all of that, a 300Hz display option for ultimate responsiveness in competitive gaming.

There are three separate Razer Blade 17 models to choose from, two with 1080p displays and a 4K/120Hz option, so you'll be getting an excellent refresh rate no matter which resolution you opt for. All three will back an Intel Core i7-10875H, but graphics will differ, with the Blade 17 starting at an RTX 2070 Max-Q and upgrades to an RTX 2080 Super Max-Q also being available.

The 2019 Razer Blade 17 shipped with a 240Hz display, although we were told at the time that Razer was prototyping an even faster 300Hz display, which is now ready to hit the market.

You can see specs in the table below:
