Titan 16 Pro really stands out from the rest of the RedMagic gaming laptop lineup because, uh\u2026 there isn't one. RedMagic has never made a laptop before. It's made gaming phones, gaming accessories, monitors, and mouse pads, but the Titan 16 Pro is the company's first foray into actual laptop territory. On paper it looks pretty good, with a high-wattage GPU, high-refresh panel, and DDR5-5600 RAM, but can it match the competition?<\/p>\n

Out of the box, it's clear all that gaming smartphone design<\/a> has influenced the Titan 16 Pro. We're talking sheer, beautifully milled, matte black metal with hardly any greebles, just the RedMagic logo illuminated with RGB lighting on the back. It's made from a single piece of machined metal, and although the power cable blocks the screen from going back too far and the front edge is a bit sharp, the chassis is nicely understated. Personally, I think it's external looks rival the Razer Blade machines our Dave is so in love with, but that's an argument for behind the scenes.<\/p>\n

One of the specs listed on the RedMagic Titan 16 Pro<\/a> site is “All black internal components”, as if that's something people are looking for in a laptop. Will it help you game better? Probably not, but it's totally brutal (throws horns).<\/p>\n

Opening the laptop lid tells a far less subtle story, with a somewhat overdone keyboard design. It's busy. Lots of graphics on the space and enter keys make it visually confusing to look at, though you do get used to it after a while. And if warning stripes are your preferred aesthetic, this one's very urban. There are a couple of inconsistencies with the typeface on certain keys, which is upsetting, but the designers have at least managed to fit a full sized keyboard in. It's a little squished, but that's to be expected on a 16-incher.<\/p>\n

The Titan 16 Pro isn't exorbitantly heavy either at 2.4 kg \/ 5.3 lb. It's not as svelte as some notebooks, but it's easy enough to carry about. It's made even easier with the compact adapter attached to the cable, which can't be said for most higher-powered laptops. Still there's no use taking it around with you if it doesn't game<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In the initial 3D Mark Time Spy Extreme synthetic benchmark it looked as if the Titan 16 Pro was going to be a pretty nippy machine, particularly when pitted against other machines with lower-wattage RTX 4060s. And as far as rendering goes, I was thoroughly impressed with the Core i9 14900H's Blender and Cinebench scores. Generally, that bodes well for CPU-intensive games with a lot of simulation going on, like the notorious Metro Exodus, but that wasn't exactly the case here.<\/p>\n

With the Titan 16 Pro's frame rates beating even some of the more expensive RTX 4070 machines of recent years, particularly those backed by the mid and lower end of Intel's 13th and 14th generation processors, the numbers might look promising\u2026 but sadly it struggles when it comes to CPU intensive games.<\/p>\n
