In 2024, I believe many students are looking forward to the launch of the ROG Phantom Air series, which has more exquisite workmanship and good looks, and looks very good. However, the graphics card of the Phantom Air is only up to RTX 4070, and if you are looking for higher GPU performance, the 2024 model of the Phantom 16 may be more suitable for you at this stage.
At the beginning of the year, the ROG X16 ushered in a new version of the upgraded RTX 4080 and 4090 graphics cards, which are also divided into classic and starry versions, the main differences are the graphics card, A-side design, thickness and weight.
Among them, the classic version of the A side adopts a prism light effect, which is composed of 18,710 CNC precision perforations and nano-imprint lithography colorful nameplates, with a thickness and weight of 199mm and 21kg, portability is not bad.
The starry sky version has added a cooler light display matrix screen on the A side (**Matrix),CNC milling process、Precision opening and mini LED lamp beads complement each other,In**、System notification and other scenarios can show the corresponding effect, but the thickness and weight have increased slightly compared with the classic version,2.The weight of 3kg is already up to the standard of a gaming laptop.
Other features of the two machines are basically the same, the screen can be opened and closed 180 degrees, the built-in large 90Wh battery, the RGB Shadow Blade silent keyboard, the built-in 6-speaker unit, the support for Dolby Atmos sound, the 1080P Full HD camera, and the support for face recognition.
The 2A2C ports on both sides of the X16 series are evenly divided on both sides of the fuselage, with 10Gbps on the A port, Thunderbolt 4 on the C port, and 100W PD charging on the other hand. There's also a microSD card reader and HDMI, and the connectivity isn't bad.
The screens of the 2024** Magic 16 have been upgraded to Mini LED panels, although they are still 25K resolution, 240Hz refresh rate, 3ms response time, support Dolby Vision, Pantone certification, color gamut switching, but with a peak brightness of 1100nits, it can display 1 billion colors, support HDR 1000, and the display effect tends to be perfect.
Both products are equipped with 13th generation Intel Core i9-13900H processors, 14 cores and 20 threads, and a turbo frequency of up to 54ghz。32GB RAM and 1TB PCIe 4 as standard0 SSD, the classic version of the graphics card is RTX 4080, while the star version is 4090, and the GPU power consumption release is 145W.
In terms of heat dissipation design, they still follow the glacier heat dissipation architecture30. Adopt luxurious three-fan seven-heat pipes and elongated integrated design of heat dissipation fins, and the CPU surface uses violent bear liquid gold for heat dissipation.
Overall, the latest ROG X16 released in 2024 is only an enhanced version of the 2023 graphics card, the Mini LED panel can provide first-class display quality, and the combination of the 13th Gen Core i9 and RTX 4080 4090 discrete graphics card can also unleash powerful productivity between square feet, even if their graphics cards cannot be released at full capacity, but they can still take on the responsibility of the creators in their spare time. Personally, I still recommend the classic version of the magic 16 2024, because the 4080 independent display performance is strong enough, and although the star version has a cooler light display matrix screen design, but 2The weight of 3kg is still a bit heavy.
