Maingear launches RTX 5070 Ti-powered Super 16 gaming laptop, with some wiggle room on the specs
Table of Contents
Maingear has built a strong reputation for making high-performance gaming PCs and laptops, and the company just announced the Super 16, a powerful 16-inch gaming laptop that was co-developed with CLEVO. This new piece of kit aims to deliver the same performance fans expect from their PCs, but in a more compact and portable form. You might consider it an ideal desktop replacement laptop – we jump into all the details below.
What does the Super 16 laptop offer?
One of the biggest highlights of the Super 16 is its design. I’m personally not a fan of gaming laptops that are too flashy or bulky, or have the typical ‘gamer’ aesthetic characterized by plenty of RGB lighting. Maingear has kept it sleek and modern, providing a solid balance between gaming and professional style.
The Super 16 not only looks good but also comes packed with powerful components. For starters, it is powered by the Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor, which boasts 24 cores in total. Maingear has paired it with the Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti, which is one of the best mid-high range GPUs out there, capable of handling whatever you throw at it with ease. Compared to the standard RTX 5070 laptop GPU, it delivers up to 23% faster performance. As an RTX 50 series model, it has access to DLSS 4‘s Multi Frame Generation, which provides a significant performance boost in games.
You can customize the specs a little
Coming down to the memory and storage, the base model comes with 32GB of DDR5 RAM and a 2TB SSD, which will be more than enough for most users. However, you can customize the specs and take these up to 94GB and 4TB, respectively. As far as the display is concerned, the Super 16 boasts a 16-inch 2560×1600 screen with a 300Hz refresh rate, which means the visuals will be super smooth. On top of that, it supports Nvidia G-Sync and offers a max brightness of 500 nits, so you can use it outdoors or in well-lit environments.
