The emergence of a series of AI tools such as ChatGPT, with its super expressiveness, has made many people feel the productivity brought by technology in advance, and major manufacturers have also begun to bet on AI, and AI has also become the main battlefield for many technology manufacturers. Apple, which is pinned on high hopes by many people, has been slow to move in the AI area, the corresponding AI equipment has not come out for a long time, and the system has not been connected to various AI tools like domestic manufacturers.
However, the M3 MacBook Air was suddenly released on the evening of March 4, and Apple finally mentioned the AI feature on the product detail page. However, this time Apple's promotion method is very interesting, and on the official website page in the United States, Apple claims that the M3 version of the MacBook Air is the best AI device at the moment. On the national side, Apple's propaganda has been changed to being able to continue to help AI technology and applications.
Looking at Apple's announcement on the application of AI technology, Apple's support for AI is still at a relatively basic stage. The speech-to-text, translation, text** and other functions mentioned by Apple still need to be implemented with the help of the cloud. It's also interesting to say that although Apple has long added independent NPU hardware to the M-series chips to improve AI computing power, it has been quite slow to move on the software side.
In 24 years, the WIN camp has also ushered in a new AI chip, and has been connected with third-party APP manufacturers, and now it has been possible to realize that without the help of the network, the notebook can also achieve local efficient operation of various AI tools. Among the AI PCs in one ticket, the most popular and popular is the ROG PhantomAir series. Not only does it have strong AI computing power, but it also comprehensively benchmarks Apple's MacBook Pro in terms of workmanship, portability, and detail experience.
As a new product line, although the ROG Phantom Air series comes with an Air, from the experience of major UP owners, it has an Air-level body and Pro-level performance. All systems are equipped with RTX40 independent graphics, up to RTX4070, and in terms of CPU, the small-sized Magic 14 Air is a Ryzen 9 8945HS processor, and the large-sized Magic 16 Air has a built-in Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor.
In terms of the frame rate of the game, even in the face of high-performance gaming laptops that are more performance-oriented, the ROG Phantom Air series does not have much of a gap, and the performance is very close. It is worthy of the RTX AI all-in-one laptop, whether it is facing entertainment or daily office productivity, with a strong performance backstop, and is not afraid of problems such as lag and insufficient performance.
It is worth mentioning that the CPUs equipped with the ROG Phantom Air series currently have relatively powerful AI engines, such as the ROG X14 Air has Ryzen AI, with AI computing power up to 39TOPS, and the ROG X16 Air is equipped with Intel Core Ultra 9 185H processor, which also gives independent NPU hardware. For now, the ROG PhantomAir series can already run a variety of large AI models locally even when the network is disconnected.
In addition, for the users of editing**,Jianying is currently also able to use AIInterization to realize the function of intelligent cutout,Compared with the previous need for multiple steps to complete,AIThe intervention,It does further improve the productivity of workers,Optimize various operation steps,Achieve efficient office。 Compared to Apple's extremely simple AI features, the ROG PhantomAir series is indeed better.
As we all know, thanks to the M-series chips with high energy efficiency ratio, Apple can achieve a good performance release in a lighter body. This year, the energy efficiency ratio of the hardware of the WIN camp has been greatly improved, so that the WIN camp has also achieved both thinness and performance. Even with the ROG Phantus Air series crammed into a hardcore configuration close to that of a gaming laptop, the ROG Phantus14 Air has only 15kg weight, 15At 9mm thick, the X16 Air is just 185kg weight, 149mm thick, placed in the same type of high-performance thin and light notebook, it still has a great advantage.
Not to mention the workmanship, which is also what many bloggers talk about after getting their hands on it. The entire body of the ROG PhantomAir series is made of metal, and it also uses CNC metal cutting technology, saying goodbye to the large plastic body of many Windows laptops. At the same time, the light matrix on the A side can be described as the finishing touch, which not only improves the recognition, but also allows users to have a more adequate DIY space, full of personal color. Many UP owners use the word "exquisite" to describe the ROG Phantom Air series after getting started.
After solving the problems of texture, portability, performance, etc., the ROG PhantomAir series has also put a lot of effort into other details. The newly upgraded ROG Nebula screen,The material has come 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 switching between four color gamuts。 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.
In terms of hardware, the ROG Phantom Air series has been upgraded to 6 groups of speaker arrays, and the overall hearing is very close to Apple's MacBook Pro series, and the performance loss in the case of power loss is also considerable, and there will be no immediate reduction in power failure.
For now, AI is still the point of competition among major manufacturers. And **MacBook Air began to mention AI, which also reflects that Apple has begun to make efforts to AI, combined with the biggest changes in iOS 18 that was previously exposed, it is also the situation of AI, and the follow-up should see Apple bring us more interesting AI use scenarios.
However, at this stage, the products of the WIN camp are still at the forefront, not only with high AI computing power, but also with relevant adaptations in software, so that AI can better run on laptops. Among them, there is no shortage of ROG Phantom Air series, which is benchmarked against Apple's MacBook Pro series, and the ROG Phantom Air series is also more advantageous in terms of price, with a starting price of 11999, which is cheaper than MacBook Pro, which can be said to be good quality and low price.
