"I. Preface: it looks like a thin game book
If a laptop has a core i7-9750h processor, geforce GTX 1660 Ti independent graphics card and a high IPS screen with a 240Hz refresh rate, you will most likely think it is a game book and will not be light and thin, but Rog magic 15 tells you that nothing is impossible!
If you only look at the shape, you can imagine that Rog magic 15 is a performance book. It is only 19mm thick and weighs 1.9kg. We are familiar with the enhanced version of Xiaomi notebook pro. This lightweight notebook equipped with i7-10510u + mx250 graphics card weighs 2kg.
The original intention of Rog magic 15 design is to make the lightweight book have game level performance and make creative workers and game players have more portable equipment.
In terms of hardware configuration, Rog magic 15 is equipped with core i7-9750h processor and NVIDIA geforce GTX 1660 Ti independent graphics card. Incidentally, Rog magic 15 improves the power consumption limit of i7-9750h, making its performance comparable to desktop processors.
In terms of screen, Rog magic 15 notebook is equipped with a 15.6-inch wide viewing angle screen, with a refresh rate of 240Hz and a response speed of up to 3MS. The screen color has passed Pantone color certification and has a color gamut of up to 100% sRGB. Such screen skills can not only meet the needs of game players, but also meet the strict pickiness of creative and professional technical people on color.
The parameters of Rog 15 notebook are as follows:
2、 Appearance: three side narrow frame double fan 5 heat pipe cooling system
Purely from the appearance, Rog magic 15 does not adopt the exaggerated design style of previous Rog notebooks. Previously, Rog game books often used exaggerated modeling and irregular routing, while the shape of magic 15 is more like a traditional business notebook, horizontal and vertical.
Rog magic 15 notebook has two colors: Shadow Black and light blue. We received the light blue color, which looks a little light blue, close to silver.
Although this notebook adopts the configuration of core i7-9750h + geforce GTX 1660 Ti, its thickness is only 18.9mm and its net weight is only 2.07Kg, which is much lighter than the traditional game book.
Surface a is made of aluminum magnesium alloy with wire drawing process. In the shape design, it continues the "blade" design of Rog's new family feature, which coexists the oblique wire drawing and sanding processes in the same plane, with obvious boundary separation.
There is only one logo of Rog's loser on side a.
It can also be seen from the side that the Rog magic 15 notebook is different from other game books, and the fuselage is very thin.
On the left side of the fuselage are DC power interface, Gigabit LAN interface, HDMI interface, USB 3.1 Gen 2 interface and 3.5mm headset socket.
There are two USB 3.1 Gen 2 and one type-C lightning 3 interface on the right. This type-C interface supports dp1.4 and pd2.0 bidirectional charging.
Rog magic 15 adopts three narrow frame designs, and the frame width is only 6mm.
The screen is a piece with a resolution of 1920 × 1080 IPS wide viewing angle display screen with refresh rate of 240Hz, response time of 3MS, 100% sRGB and Pantone color certification.
It should be noted that this notebook is not designed with a camera. Users in need can buy Rog gc21 external camera.
The C side of Rog magic 15 is also made of all metal, but it is treated with frosted coating on the metal surface, which makes it feel more comfortable. Unfortunately, due to the design of the left and right narrow borders, this notebook does not have enough space to accommodate the keypad.
The power adapter supports wide voltage input of 100-240V, output power of 19.5V, 11.8a and rated power consumption of 230W.
Rog magic 15 light blue notebook adopts the cooling system equipped with glacier cooling architecture. The design of 12V double fans, five heat pipes and four air outlets can easily suppress the core i7-9750h processor and geforce GTX 1660 Ti independent graphics card.
In terms of scalability, 16GB DDR4 2666mhz memory is welded on the motherboard in the form of single channel, and there is also an SO-DIMM socket. It is recommended to install a memory to form a dual channel mode.
In terms of storage, Intel H10 aoteng hybrid hard disk is built, and 32GB 3D xpoint memory + 1TB 3D QLC flash memory is used. The write life is 300tb, which is higher than that of 500GB TLC SSD., There is also an m.2 2280 slot on the right for expansion.
The battery capacity is 76wh. According to ASUS data, it can support 8-hour local video endurance.
