Corsair is best known for its PC gaming accessories and hardware, like RAM and keyboards, but the company has also sold pre-built PCs in recent years. Corsair is now expanding into gaming laptops, with its first model having a mechanical keyboard and MacBook-like Touch Bar.

AMD today revealed its new Ryzen 7000 series of processors, and while they’re limited to desktop PCs (at least for now), the company also talked about its partnerships with laptop manufacturers. Corsair was present at the event and showed off its first gaming laptop: the Corsair Voyager a1600.

The Voyager laptop is built with a 16-inch QHD+ 240Hz display, Radeon RX 6800M graphics, a 16-thread Ryzen 9 6900HS processor, Wi-Fi 6E support, Dolby Atmos audio, and a 1080p camera. The MacBook-like Touch Bar above the keyboard is definitely unique: Corsair calls it the “macro bar,” with 10 shortcut buttons and a small LCD screen in the center. The keyboard itself has low-profile mechanical Cherry MX switches, with per-key RGB backlighting.

Corsair also includes some features that tie into its other products. Many of the company’s keyboards, mice, and other accessories use the ‘Slipstream’ USB wireless adapter, which is built into the Voyager laptop. The macro bar is also configured using the same software used for the Elgato Stream Deck, a popular product sold by Corsair.

You can learn more about the laptop from the source link below. There’s no timeline for release (or an official price) yet, but you can sign up for email updates to find out when it’s available. There will be multiple hardware configurations available, and Corsair even plans to offer custom UV printing or laser engraving options.
