(Image credit: Future)Ĭorsair has also integrated a Slipstream module into the machine, which means you don't need to leave your USB dongle in the single Type-A USB slot to use your wireless peripherals. It supports up to three devices, and I tried it out using the K70 Pro Mini Wireless, Sabre RGB Pro Wireless, and Virtuoso RGB Wireless XT headset and they all worked flawlessly. It's not essential, but if you already own a few wireless devices, then it's a neat solution for sure. This is easily the best typing experience I've ever had on a laptop.īefore jumping into the benchmarks, it's worth highlighting that while you're looking at high-end pricing with Corsair's first laptop, amazingly the chip at its heart isn't AMD's top Ryzen 9 mobile chip, that award goes to the Ryzen 9 6900HX. It's essentially the same chip but with two important differences-the HX is unlocked and so can be overclocked, plus it has a higher 45W+ TDP. To get the most from that chip you'd need a chunkier chassis, but it does mean this machine isn't quite using the pinnacle of AMD's laptop range. The touch buttons at the top of the keyboard feel like a stepping stone towards a better solution. There's one more problem on the core spec front for Corsair, and that is that the Radeon RX 6800M isn't the top graphics chip from the red team either. We recently looked at the Alienware m17 R5 (opens in new tab) that not only comes with the aforementioned Ryzen 9 6900HX, but also ships with the slightly faster Radeon RX 6850M. It has the same 40 Compute Units as the 6800M, but has a higher operating frequency of 2,463MHz as opposed to 2,300MHz, and a faster memory interface too.
