At the beginning of each year, it will be a time for notebook renewal. Compared with the past, this year's products seem to be more competitive, and many manufacturers have also begun to benchmark Apple's MacBook series. For example, the ROG Phantom Air series just released a while ago, this machine was officially launched on February 27, although the starting price came to 10499, but the strong strength still attracted a lot of people to buy, and the number of reservations has also come to 3The level of 5w+ can be said to be quite popular.
During the first launch, ROG Phantom Air also gave a discount on the purchase of 50E cards, so as a rare professional performance thin and light book in the current WIN camp, is this machine the most worthwhile high-end notebook at the price of 10,000 yuan in 24? Let's take a look.
In terms of texture, the WIN camp has been in a weak position compared to Apple's MacBook, and there are very few products on the market that use all-metal body + CNC processing, and many people have also been dissuaded from **. The addition of aluminum alloy also brings a more avant-garde sense of technology to the ROG Phantom series, bidding farewell to the large plastic body performance of many Windows notebooks.
In addition, the design of the light matrix on the A side can be described as the finishing touch, and the design of the oblique straight line brings a high degree of recognition to the A side, and a variety of preset display animations and customized gameplay further meet the personalized needs of users. It doesn't look too high-profile in a variety of situations, and at the same time it is full of personal touches.
On the B-side of the screen, the ROG PhantomAir series has also redesigned the hinge part to solve the problem of the previous generation of heat vents blowing the screen, and at the same time, the hinge is further hidden, which is more in line with the borderless design of the ROG PhantomAir series. The screen part also uses a whole piece of glass + transparent OLED screen, which further enhances the look and feel of the whole machine.
Thanks to the stacking capabilities of the ROG PhantomAir series, both machines are quite heavy and thick. The X14 Air has only 15kg weight, 15At 9mm thick, the X16 Air is just 185kg weight, 149mm thick, it is indeed both light and thin, and there is no previous situation where there is light and thin.
Although the body is thin and light, there is no compromise on performance. Both the ROG X14 Air and the ROG X16 Air currently get the latest graphics card from the RTX40, with the highest specs coming to the 4070, while the CPU platform is slightly different, with the smaller one powered by the AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS and the larger one with the Core Ultra 9 185H.
Judging from the actual measurements of the major UP masters, in the game test session, the actual performance of the ROG X16 Air is not much different from some game laptops, and it is also quite capable of playing in similar high-performance thin and light laptops.
In addition, in the de-energized environment, the ROG X16 Air performance loss was also tested by the UP master, and the performance loss of the CPU part was only 10% from the perspective of running scores. This also means that we can still enjoy the experience advantages brought by high performance when we are on the go, without worrying about stuttering or rendering time too long.
The most complained about by high-end WINNet is the worse screen performance,Compared with the MacBook series of high-quality screens and macOS has a more complete color gamut management,It will indeed be more loved by creative people。 And this time the ROG Phantom Air series,Give the ROG Nebula screen,The material has also been upgraded to OLED,Its quality is quite capable of playing,First of all, the high score and high brush are given,At the same time, it also covers 100% DCI-P3 color gamut,And it also supports four color gamut switching。
And thanks to the addition of OLED material, it has a natural advantage in terms of contrast, and it is also convenient for the whole machine to be light and thin. Before leaving the factory, the screen of the ROG PhantomAir series has also undergone a number of certifications such as Pantone color, which is quite powerful in terms of color accuracy and support for HDR resources, and meets the high requirements of creative people.
Since Apple's MacBook series has been replaced with its own M chip, it has made a lot of improvements in battery life with its advanced process and architecture, which is why many people use Apple's MacBook series without battery life anxiety.
The ROG Phantom 14 Air has a built-in 73Wh battery, with a battery life of 9 hours and 45 minutes, which is close to that of the MacBook Pro. The ROG X16 Air has a battery life test score of 7 hours and 20 minutes due to considerable factors such as the larger screen size, and the overall battery life performance is enough to meet the needs of many migrant workers when they go out without power.
And in the external amplifier part,Due to the upgrade to6Speaker system,The volume is increased by 252%,The bass can reach an astonishing 100Hz,In the comparison with the MacBook Pro series,Many netizens said that they can have a five-five with MacBook Pro after listening to it。
I have to say that the ROG Phantom Air series is on the right track this time, and judging from the actual performance of the ROG Phantom Air series, it has indeed achieved the strength of the MacBook Pro. Especially in terms of **, not only the materials are more fierce, but the price is also more affordable, and it is indeed a 24-year-old high-end notebook that is worth buying. If you plan to replace your Mac in the near future, but you are persuaded to quit because of macOS, then this ROG Phantom Air series of Apple Workmanship + WIN system will be a good choice.
