Corsair Voyager a1600 gaming laptop now available to buy on Amazon

Corsair has unveiled its first-ever gaming laptop, the Voyager a1600. Its main specs include an AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS processor, AMD Radeon RX 6800M GPU, 16-inch 240Hz QHD+ display, Cherry MX keys, and a 99 Wh battery.

Corsair has entered the gaming laptop market with what AMD calls “the world’s first-ever streaming laptop.” The Corsair Voyager a1600 is one of the few AMD-only laptops and is part of the “AMD Advantage” program. It has ten dedicated buttons that can be assigned to regular live streaming functions via the built-in Elgato software.

The new Corsair gaming laptop has plenty of firepower under the hood, including a high-end AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS processor and a Radeon RX 6800M GPU. A less sophisticated variant with a Ryzen 7 6800H S processor is also available, but it is configurable with only 16 GB of DDR5 RAM and a 1 TB NVMe SSD, while the Ryzen 9 variant supports 32 GB and 2 TB, respectively. A 99Wh battery powers the laptop

As for the display, the Corsair Voyager a1600 features a 16-inch QHD+ (2560 x 1600) IPS LCD panel with a 240Hz refresh rate and supports AMD FreeSync Premium. A dedicated MUX switch enables a seamless transition between iGPU and dGPU, which in this case are both based on the same RDNA2 architecture.

Corsair laptop connectivity options include two Thunderbolt 3 compatible USB 4.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C port, one USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A port, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm combo audio jack, as well as Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. Up to three compatible Corsair devices can connect to the laptop via the company’s Slipstream Wireless technology. The included webcam can record at 1080p 30fps.

Considering its status as a gaming laptop, the Corsair Voyager a1600 has a fully customizable RGB keyboard with per-key profiles via iCUE software. The actual keys use Cherry MX Ultra-Low Profile mechanical switches. Origin PC will offer further customization options through UV printing or laser engraving.
