FULL STORY
======================================================================

Tecno Mobile, while not widely known outside of China, does have a reputation 
for making high-quality devices at competitive prices. The companys new 16 
inch Megabook T16 Pro 2024 Ultra laptop , which was first revealed at this 
years MWC 2024, comes with an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor (a fresh release 
from December 2023), paired with Arc mobile GPU. If you dont need all that 
power, theres a version with an Intel Core Ultra 5 CPU. 

Tecno Mobile says Megabook T16 Pro can deliver 65 watts of performance, and 
cooling is provided by the companys proprietary Ice Storm advanced thermal 
management system. 

The laptop comes with a choice of 32GB or 16GB LPDDR5 RAM, and a 1TB PCIE 4.0 
SSD, with a 512GB option for those looking to spend less. The laptop's 
16-inch, 2.5k display offers a 16:10 ratio and delivers 100% of the sRGB 
color gamut, making it suitable for both work and entertainment. Long battery 
life 

Megabook T16 Pro has a 180 hinge, so you can lay the screen down flat, and a 
fingerprint reader for security. Theres a starry backlit keyboard and 
elevated touchpad, and it comes with Windows 11. 

The highlight of the T16 Pro, however, is its battery, which has a capacity 
of 99.99Wh and comes with a 100W GaN super-fast charging (promising 50% 
charge in just 30 minutes). This battery reportedly allows users to work or 
play for up to 22 hours on a single charge, which is very impressive if true. 

Apple says its MacBook Pro 16-inch 2023 can match that, but in tests Toms 
Hardware found it managed just under 19 hours  which is still fantastic, but 
maybe not as good as its new rival claims it can achieve. We'll have to wait 
to find out. 

Pricing and availability are currently unknown, but its expected to arrive 
some time in Q2. More from TechRadar Pro These are the best Windows 10 Pro
