Red Magic expanded its ecosystem today with what seems like a very natural addition – a gaming laptop called Red Magic Titan 16 Pro. It debuted in China in July, but now it’s finally going international, and we have one with us for a review.
It is a mighty laptop with an Intel Core i9 processor and Nvidia GPU – our came with the RTX4060, but an RTX4070 version is also available. The laptop features an over-engineered gaming aesthetic similar to the Red Magic smartphones and a bunch of other portable gaming computers.
The Titan is quite heavy by modern standards with its 2.4 kg body that is 23.9 mm thick. Obviously that’s par for the course when you want anything close to decent cooling that is mandatory for a smooth gaming session, but it’s not the easiest thing to lug around.
The two-piece proprietary charger needed to supply enough power for the GPU and CPU at full throttle alone weighs roughly as much as some of ultraportables we’ve reveiewed lately.
Specs-wise, our unit comes with 32 GB DDR5 RAM, made by Samsung, while the SSD is 1 TB with 7,000 MB/s read speed; there is also a PCIe 4.0 M.2 expansion slot for adding a seccond SSD. There are also two large fans operating at 3,850 RPM, dual speakers, and 100W PD fast charging support.
There is one full sized HDMI port, three USB-A ports on three different sides, a regular USB-C, and a Thunderbolt 4 USB-C.
The Red Magic Titan 16 Pro comes with an RGB backlit keyboard, because of course it does. The Red Magic logo on the cover also lights up in various colors leaving those around no doubt that this is, in fact, a gaming laptop.
Red Magic Titan 16 Pro comes with a 16″ 2.5K display with a 240 Hz refresh rate, which is quite demanding, but we’ll see how the GPU handles it in our full review.
We’ll come back with a verdict in a couple of weeks – stay tuned!
