Much like how the 2020 Blade 15 is just a relatively minor update to the 2019 Blade 15, the 2020 Blade Pro 17 is another minor update to the 2019 Blade Pro 17. The new 8-core CPU, Super Max-Q GPUs, and 300 Hz display are the main reasons to own a 2020 model over the 2019 model which comes with a 6-core CPU, Max-Q GPU, and 240 Hz display instead. The internal updates improve the gaming experience only marginally meaning that users won't be missing much by opting for last year's model. Keep in mind that you don't have to reach 300 FPS when gaming to exploit a 300 Hz monitor. The more surprising aspect of the Blade Pro 17 isn't the 10th gen Core CPU or 300 Hz display, but it's how fast the system can run the GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU. 3DMark results are about 20 percent faster than the average GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q in our database. Thus, the RTX 2070 Max-Q in the Blade Pro 17 is able to offer faster graphics performance than even the newer RTX 2070 Super Max-Q or RTX 2080 Super Max-Q on some other gaming laptops. If you're going with this 2020 Blade Pro 17 model, then you can at least rest easy knowing that it is one of the fastest options out there with the GeForce RTX 2070 Max-Q GPU.
