razer has added a whole new thermal management configuration to cool its latest 17-inch blade pro gaming laptop, including a custom fan design and a heat exchanger paired with a thin vapor chamber packaged inside the 0.88-inch thick aluminum chassis.

the vapor chamber was necessary for the newest iteration of the gaming laptop, which features a nvidia geforce gtx 1080 gpu as well as an intel core i7-6700hq processor and 32gb of ddr-2133 system memory, according to a report on pcgamer.com.
in the article, razer co-founder and ceo min-liang tan is quoted as saying, “the thermal engineering behind it is staggering. it’s incredible how far we’ve come, from having one product and a small team, to today, with a full catalog of gaming systems and a large group of engineers and designers pushing what a portable gaming machine can do."
the vapor chamber quickly reduces thermal resistance and spreads heat away from hotspots in the laptop and the fan and heat exchanger help dissipate the heat from the interior to the chassis and the external environment.
this focus on thermal management has drawn rave reviews from gamers and experts, who have labeled the blade pro “the most powerful computer ever assembled in such a thin chassis.”
that performance comes with a hefty price tag. the blade pro retails at $3,699 in the united states.
