Gaming-focused PC maker Corsair has announced its first laptop. In an unexpected turn of events, the company is now focusing primarily on gaming and streaming.
A new kind of gaming laptop from Corsair!
Corsair's stated goal is to create a laptop that would function as a single piece of hardware for gaming, streaming, and/or video editing. The Voyager a1600 AMD Advantage Edition is loaded with powerful components, along with Elgato gaming capture technology, so games can be played and streamed smoothly.
The AMD Ryzen 7 6800 (or Ryzen 9 6900) 8-core processor and Radeon RX 6800M graphics card work together to improve gaming performance and handle intensive applications. On paper, it should have no problems running programs like OBS Studio or Adobe After Effects, and should be able to run games smoothly at higher settings. As for the visuals, it’s outputting everything to a 16-inch 2560 by 1600 quad high definition (QHD+) display.
Then there’s the Elgato integration, which includes ten customizable hotkeys (above the standard F-keys) that work with the built-in Elgato Steam Deck software. This means you can set and use the keys for up to ten different one-touch functions while streaming. And there’s a built-in 1080p, 30 frames per second, full high definition webcam to go along with everything else.
