That should already be sounding some alarm bells - it did for me.
RedMagic has taken the engine of a Formula One car and attached it to a Subaru.
Youre still going to move, but your wheels might fall off.
Thats not to say the 140W GPU isnt impressive - its just not meant for this kind of machine.
Design
I was impressed with the RedMagic Titan 16 Pros design from the outside looking in.
Opening up that lid was a little disappointing.
Theres more of a gamerfied aesthetic running inside, with stamps across the keyboard itself and highly stylised legends.
Sometimes the colors would simply return to their default state when switching the laptop on again.
This is certainly a well-built machine, though.
It almost feelsRazer-like in this respect; solid, reliable, and dense.
For reference, theLenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 9comes in at 2.79kg and theAlienware M16 R2hits 2.61kg.
Your larger ports are located at the rear a big win in my books.
The headline here is those arrow keys, though.
The RedMagic Titan 16 Pros full-sized, off-centre spread keeps keypresses fast and accurate.
The Titan can run in three power preset modes; office, balanced, and gaming.
These are accessed either via the dedicated keyboard keys or in the systems built-in software; Goper.
Under the hood is a mystery.
Synthetic 3D Mark benchmarks pitting the Titan 16 Pro against other RTX 4060 configurations were a little kinder.
All of these machines, for example, are running lower-end processors.
Its just a shame that youre paying for an Intel i9-14900HX to get there.
Thats still playable performance, particularly if youre happy to stick with frame generation to keep things running smoothly.
However, theres another sticking point to this performance.
Those fans rev right up, burning through ears like nothing else.
Ive tested a good few loud laptops in my time, and this might just top them all.
Not only that, but temperatures far exceeded a comfortable playing range.
Should you buy the RedMagic Titan 16 Pro?
This is a strange machine, so well talk about what the Titan 16 Pro gets right.
Its design plays nicely into a subtle but still fun aesthetic.
Its performance is even within my expectations for a machine running an RTX 4060 GPU.
I just cant recommend the RedMagic Titan 16 Pro, though.
Youre spending far too much on a CPU that this configuration just doesnt use.
If youre looking for cheaper RTX 4060 gameplay, theAsusTUF A15 is infinitely more affordable.
