Following the long-lasting version stuffed with a 99Wh battery, Mechanical Revolution recently launched the RTX 4070 independent display version of the Pterodactyl 15 Pro, with an initial price of 8499 yuan. So, is this new configuration worth the wait?
The Pterodactyl 15 Pro is my personal favorite gaming laptop of the year, as its Yunjian White Edition has the same appearance and portability as the Legion 9000X Ice Soul White.
It is equipped with a Ryzen 7 8845H processor, although it is not as good as the 14th generation Core i7-14650HX of the Yaoshi series, but the performance is not bad (similar to Ultra 7 155H), and it is more power-efficient, switch to pure integrated display mode, you can get up to 12 hours (80Wh version) or 18 hours (99Wh version) of battery life, and even surpass some ARM architecture Windows 11 AIPC equipped with Snapdragon X Elite.
The new version of the Pterodactyl 15 Pro is a long-lasting version based on a large 99Wh battery, and the hardware has been upgraded again. The biggest change is that the independent display has been changed from RTX 4060 to RTX 4070, the game performance has been improved by at least 10%, and the AI computing power has also increased from 233TOPS of 4060 to 321TOPS. It can be said that if you want to run a more efficient AI model, you still have to look for a gaming laptop.
In addition, the new version of the Pterodactyl 15 Pro not only inherits the camera with a physical switch, but also adds an infrared camera next to it, which brings a face recognition function, making up for the lack of biosecurity verification of the family brothers, and can protect personal privacy to the greatest extent.
In other aspects, the new version of the Pterodactyl 15 Pro remains the same as its predecessors, all of which are popular with 15.3-inch and 180-degree opening and closing screens, ACD three-sided metal material, and the thickness and weight are controlled to 19.9mm and 2.0kg, portability kills many competitors with the same match.
The C-side features a new keyboard layout, with sunken full-size arrow keys, and a larger enter key added to the numeric keypad, making up for the keyboard layout regrets of the family's (earlier) predecessors.
The Pterodactyl 15 Pro adopts a four-sided narrow bezel design, with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 91.8%, and its screen has a resolution of 2560×1600 pixels, 100% sRGB high color gamut, 240Hz refresh rate, 500nits high brightness, supports intelligent refresh rate, and automatically switches to 60Hz when the battery is powered to extend battery life.
In terms of interfaces, the product is equipped with 3 USB-A3.2 Gen1, full-featured USB-C 3.2 Gen2, USB-C 3.2 Gen1, HDMI2.1, miniDP, RJ45, audio interface and power jack. The rear C port supports 100W PD charging, and can be used with a gallium nitride charging head to further reduce the burden when traveling.
In addition, the power supply that comes standard with this machine is also an ultra-mini 240W silicon carbide Slim adapter, which is very compact. The interior of the host is equipped with dual memory slots and dual M.2 hard disk bays, dual fans and five heat pipes, and the use of phase change silicone grease with better thermal conductivity, and the power consumption of dual baking is about 170W.
