You’ll definitely remember because it’s one of those eye-popping announcements that Corsair made a few months ago a laptop designed specifically for gaming and streaming, CORSAIR VOYAGER a1600 AMD Advantage Edition. A computer that, after a very careful design, only 19.8 millimeters thick and only 2.4 kilograms in weight, hides some first-class components that once again remind us that “laptops are not good for gaming” has long been banished.

It took a few months, though The Corsair VOGAGER a1600 has finally hit the market. Although for clarification it would be necessary to talk about “the”, since there are two models that can already be purchased. As you can see in its technical specifications, the differences between them are found in the processor, RAM size and storage. Otherwise, both systems are twins.

Corsair VOGAGER a1600: technical specifications

Starting with its screen, we find the not-so-usual size of 16 inches, which, however, seems quite practical to me, as it provides a good screen size without adding to the dimensions (and usually the weight) common to 17-inch systems. . It is built The IPS 16 panel offers us a resolution of 2560 x 1600 pixelsst aspect ratio 16:10, with remarkable Refresh rate 240 Hz. To “power” it, CORSAIR decided on a Radeon RX 6800M graphics adapter.

Already inside, we find three differences between the two models. While the top of the line, the Corsair VOYAGER a1600 CN-9000004, has AMD Ryzen 9 6900HSAccompanied 32 GB DDR5 RAM and PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD storage two terabytesCORSAIR VOYAGER a1600 CN-9000003 is based on AMD Ryzen 7 6800HS, 16 gigabytes of RAM SSD DDR5 and PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe storage terabyte. In both cases, the assembly is powered by a 6,410 mAh battery.

Since we are talking about a system designed for gaming, the keyboard is a key component and Corsair did not neglect it. So we find a mechanical keyboard with ultra-low profile CHERRY MX mechanical switches and full-sized, which is complemented by a membrane for half-height keys. And if you’re streaming in addition to playback, you can take advantage of its front-facing 1080p (1920 x 1080 pixels) 30fps webcam. It is complemented by a set of four directional microphones with ambient noise suppression.

As far as connectivity is concerned, the brand did not stop short. Starting with the wireless section, it adopts the two latest standards, 802.11ax (WiFi 6E), Bluetooth 5.2. In terms of cable connectivity and more, it is complemented by two Thunderbolt 3-enabled USB 4.0 ports, USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A, an SDXC 7.0 card reader and a 3.5mm audio combo jack (minijack).

If you looked at the part of the base closest to the screen, you’ll notice what looks like ten keys, right? Well, you’re not wrong, they really are ten additional keys with customizable shortcuts and compatibility with Elgato Stream Deck softwareespecially useful if we use this Corsair VOYAGER a1600 for streaming, but also very useful in other areas of content creation and of course for gaming.
