After years of efforts in the desktop field, Corsair finally released its first game laptop After acquiring origin, a fever grade PC manufacturer, in 2019, the company now launched Voyager a1600 equipped with AMD Ruilong 6000 series mobile processor + radeon RX 6000m series mobile graphics card
We can't imagine the whole picture of this device just by the official rendering of AMD during the Computex 2022 keynote speech. However, its biggest feature is that it is equipped with a touch bar that can place ten custom shortcut keys.
It should be pointed out that Corsair officials do not just call it "touch bar", but describe it as "ten easy to access and customizable S-Key shortcuts".
In addition, with Apple MacBook Compared with the touch bar on Pro, it does not completely replace the traditional function keypad (ESC, F1 ~ F12, etc.).
Players in need can configure the S-Key through the supporting elgato stream deck software. For example, you can assign it to real-time streaming media control, scene switching, media startup, audio adjustment, etc.
Although the laptop is not necessarily the first choice for streaming live games, it is still a quite interesting idea. Or at least, you can use it as a shortcut for zoom cloud video conferencing.
Thanks to the unique hollow shaft design, you can even continue to access the row of S-Key shortcut keys at the top of side C when the screen is closed.
As for whether it is easy to cause false touch (such as when it is placed in the backpack), it remains to be revealed by the first experience evaluation of the new product after it is officially launched in July.
In other aspects, Voyager a1600 is equipped with a full-size cherry MX half height mechanical keyboard, which can customize the RGB equivalent of each key, supplemented by 1080p webcam (there seems to be a physical privacy baffle in the rendering).
The processor can be amd Ruilong r7-6800hs / r9-6900hs, but the unique display is radeon 6800m. In terms of storage, 64GB Corsair venture ddr5 memory + 2TB SSD is optional.
The screen is 16 inch @ 2560 with 240Hz high refresh rate × 1600 resolution, with two lightning 3 / USB4, USB 3.2 Gen 2 (type-C) + USB 3.2 Gen 1 (type-A), SDXC 7.0 card reader and 3.5mm audio jack on the side.
Finally, given Corsair's continuous vertical acquisition and integration in recent years (including elgato, peripheral manufacturers scuf gaming and origin), industry observers are also happy to see Corsair follow Razer and launch more direct competition.
