February 9 news, ASUS ROG's latest 2022 Magic 16 will open for official sale tonight, equipped with Intel i7-12700H processor, 16GB DDR5 memory, 512GB SSD, reserved M.2 interface, priced at 9999 yuan.
The interface of the Phantom 16 is very rich, basically everything is available. The fly in the ointment is that the charging interface is concentrated on one side. Xiao Lei personally now likes the design of having a charging Type C port on both sides, Xiao Lei sometimes uses the laptop in bed, if there are Type C charging ports on both sides, so that the cable does not have to bypass the entire computer and plug in the other side.
Among the many interfaces, only the HDMI interface is almost interesting, only supporting HDMI 2.0b, and only supporting 4K 60Hz screen output. The graphics card of the Phantom 16 is the RTX3060, which is relatively powerful and has the ability to render a higher level of game graphics.
The screen quality of the magic 16 is relatively excellent, the 2K screen, 16:10 resolution can display more content, more suitable for browsing the web, or some professional software use. The response time is 3ms, but the official does not indicate whether it is a UTT grayscale response time. The brightness reaches 500 nits, which is enough in a relatively bright room. The refresh rate reaches 165Hz, which is suitable for playing some FPS games.
The fly in the ointment is that the screen does not reach the certification of HDR 600 and above, and the HDR effect is not very obvious. However, if the above level is reached, the cost of the screen will rise a lot, and it may not be this price point.
The weight of the phantom 16 has reached 4.15kg, which is not suitable for frequent movement, and the thickness reaches 18.1-20mm, which is quite thick. So from this, it can also be seen that the magic 16 positions heavy gamers, tries to provide strong enough hardware performance, is also guaranteed in terms of heat dissipation, and also has a quiet mode, when the user is in a light use mode, it can ensure that the device is quiet enough.
At this point in time, saving a set of high-performance desktop machines will cost a lot. Not only is the price of graphics cards high, but DDR5 memory is currently out of stock. At present, buy a high-performance game book, and after the price of subsequent parts comes down, then sell the notebook and save a set of high-performance desktop machines is also a good choice.
