I know we never talked about the Redmagic laptop, but it is never too late to start, and yes, for the uninitiated, Redmagic has a gaming laptop, too. First launched in 2024, the Redmagic Gaming Laptop 16 Pro has been beefed up for 2026. The Redmagic Gaming Laptop 16 Pro 2026 is armed with the 50 series flagship graphics and the latest CPU. The new Redmagic Gaming Laptop 16 Pro 2026 is not here to compete in thinness or lightness. It is here as a fully loaded gaming rig that aims to give its peers a run for their money with an aesthetic that is sure to turn heads.
It rocks a brand-new design language that builds on the iconic transparent styling. It is a visually striking laptop featuring an ultra-futuristic design with a translucent composite body material and an excimer ultra skin-like finish. Much like the Redmagic 10 Air and the new Astra tablet, it has a transparent bar that lets the circuit board underneath peek out. And then there’s, of course, lighting. Lotsa lighting. There is an RGB backlit trackpad, per-key RGB lighting effects, and a full-width dazzling tail light.
Powered by one of the most powerful mobile CPUs Intel has to offer—the Ultra 275HX (U9 275HX)—the all-new Redmagic Gaming Laptop 16 Pro 2026 features a 16-inch 2.5K (2,560 x 1,600 pixels) 300 Hz display, Redmagic’s Magic Cool Heat Dissipation Architecture 2.0, and a choice of mobile 50 series GPUs, including the 5070Ti, 5080, and 5090. For those not in the know, the Core Ultra 9 275HX processor boasts a peak 200W performance with 24 cores, 24 threads, a 5.4 GHz theoretical single-core turbo clock speed, 76 MB L2+L3 cache, integrated graphics, and Intel Thread Director.
As for the GPU, the range-topping NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 is a 175W mobile GPU, allowing it to run at higher clock speeds and maintain sustained performance without throttling. The graphics have a GPU AI TOPS of 1,824. The GPU is bolstered by 24 GB GDDR7 video memory, supports DLSS 4 multi-frame generation, and supports dual-GPU and hot-switching between three modes.
One of the coolest features—pun not intended (OK. Maybe a little)—is the cooling system, which boasts six composite square copper heat pipes, an oversized vapor chamber heat spreader covering 13,395.7 mm², individual cooling for core components, a 3D airflow system that draws air from the front and exhausts it from the rear, an “ice nest wind tunnel 2.0” that sucks in 30% more air, and finally, it now rocks three fans—one more than its predecessor.
Other spec sheet details include a 4 ms response time and 500 nits high brightness display, support for 100% DCI-P3, a built-in 1080p FHD+IR webcam, Windows Hello login, wide color gamut, SGS low blue light certification, Magic Sound 3D quad speakers, DTS:X Ultra, DDR5-6400 memory with dual expansion slots supporting up to 64 GB (up to 32 GB for 5080/5070Ti models), up to 2 TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage (1 TB for 5080/5070Ti models), upgradeable to PCIe 5.0, support for RAID 0, dual M.2 slots, a 99 Wh battery, 100 W PD fast charging, and a suite of I/Os comprising three USB-A 3.2 Gen2 (1×10 Gbps + 2×5 Gbps) ports, a Thunderbolt 5 port, a USB-C 5 Gbps port, an HDMI 2.1 port, a UHS-II high-speed SD card slot, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, Wi-Fi 7 with MLO support, and a 2.5 Gbps Ethernet port.
