Design and Cooling
The GAMING A16 PRO weighs around 2.3 kg and is under 20 mm thick. It uses the WINDFORCE Infinity EX cooling system, which includes a Frost Fan with 158 asymmetric blades that helps maintain up to 115W GPU power while keeping temperatures low. The laptop also features a 180° lay-flat hinge.
The GAMING A18 weighs about 2.8 kg with a 20 mm profile. It uses a surround-vent cooling system for stable thermal control during long gaming or editing sessions.

The A18 offers an 18-inch panel with up to DCI-P3 100% color accuracy and 300 nits brightness. Dolby Atmos audio and dual 2W speakers provide a more immersive sound experience. The keyboard has been redesigned with 1.7mm key travel and larger keycaps for improved comfort.
