The screen is a 2.5K 240Hz P3 wide color range MiniLED screen, with a starting price of 18999 yuan. The whole system is a 24 core 32 thread i9 14900HX processor, of which the "Plus" version is an 18 inch model. In general, if your budget is very sufficient and you want to buy a game book with top performance, the ROG Gunshot 8 series deserves attention.
ASUS Tianxuan 5 Pro
ASUS Tianxuan 5 Pro has launched two configurations of the 14th generation Core HX processor, both of which are equipped with i9 14900HX processors, and the RTX 4060 and RTX 4070 are optional. The first launch price of RTX 4060 is 9299 yuan, and the first launch price of RTX 4070 is 10499 yuan (all of them are in the appearance of Magic Blue, and Uncle Niu also suggests that you choose this color match for the Tianxuan Game Book). It is matched with 2.5K 165Hz 100% sRGB color gamut 16:10 screens, supporting dual display and three modes.
Compared with the previous generation of products, this generation of ASUS Tianxuan 5 Pro has two major upgrade points: one is that the series of products uses the Core HX processor for the first time, and is equipped with the i9 14900HX of 24 core 32 thread top specification, which is quite attractive within 10000 yuan; The second is to remove the "long chin" on the screen, which makes the appearance of the whole machine more beautiful. In terms of heat dissipation, the Tianxuan 5 Pro uses dual fans and 5 heat pipes for heat dissipation. The overall performance is stable, the performance mode is easy to use, and the continuous output power of the processor is about 100W, showing good performance. The storage combination is 1 × 16GB memory+1TB SSD, which is convenient for users to upgrade memory later. In terms of details, there are 90Wh batteries, which also support 100W PD charging. At present, if you want to buy a top-level processor game book of a first-line brand with a price of less than 10000 yuan, the i9 14900HX+RTX 4060 of Tianxuan 5 Pro is a good choice.
