The behemoth laptop comes with a bevy of ports including three USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, USB-C Thunderbolt 3 port, SD card slot, Ethernet port, headphone jack and a Kensington lock.

For audio, it's got side-mounted stereo speakers (which seems like an odd position to place them). There's also 2-megapixel web cam on the front.

The biggest physical change is to the trackpad and keyboard. The keyboard now uses low-profile mechanical keys for faster response times (a must for hardcore gamers) and the trackpad is no longer also an LCD screen; it's been replaced by a larger glass trackpad. The 10 programmable display buttons are also gone, replaced by a scroll wheel.

For a 17-inch laptop, the Blade Pro is quite thin -- 0.88 inches thick. It still weighs a ton at 7.80 pounds, though.

Now for some news you're probably already expecting. The Blade Pro will be very expensive, starting at $3,699 when it ships in the U.S. in November.
