The world of gaming laptops will eventually reach the wrong path of “who has more fans?” Honor recently officially detailed its WIN gaming laptop, which features one selling point: six fans. Officially, it uses a new heat dissipation design called “Dongfeng Tail Jet Cooling Engine”. The core is two centrifugal main fans, plus four self-developed axial flow auxiliary fans. “Heat dissipation” is directly regarded as the soul of this machine.
Heat dissipation data: The total air volume is increased by 10%, the keyboard surface is reduced by 2°C, and 20W more power consumption can be consumed
Honor claims that this hybrid cooling system can increase the overall air volume by 10% compared to the general three-fan configuration; under the same power consumption, the surface temperature of the keyboard can be reduced by about 2°C, and the entire machine can withstand 20W more total power consumption. In addition to hardware stack fans, Honor also packages tuning as a software stack: Gaming Turbo X and Phantom Engine. Official figures include an increase in frame rate of up to 5.97% in Cyberpunk 2077 and a reduction in AutoCAD 3D export time of up to 17.9%.
In addition, the concept of “triple network acceleration” is mentioned, which combines Wi-Fi, wired Ethernet, and mobile hotspots, and claims to have a quiet and efficient mode of less than 38dB under game load.
i7-14650HX + RTX 5060 / Ultra 9 290HX Plus + RTX 5070 Ti
The WIN series includes two configurations: one version is Intel Core i7-14650HX with GeForce RTX 5060, 16GB DDR5, 512GB or 1TB SSD; higher-end models may be Intel Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus with GeForce RTX 5070 Ti. The price has not yet been disclosed, but the launch time has been confirmed to be launched in China on April 23, and it seems that some media have already obtained test machines.
Whether the six-fan design is an “engineering miracle” or a “marketing gimmick” ultimately depends on whether it can stably suppress higher power consumption.
