With all the great products that have been launched in the past, I think that it is no longer necessary to present the Valencian company as before. slim book it is known inside and outside our borders. And that's thanks to their fantastic desktops and laptops that we've talked about numerous times at LxA. To all of them must be added a new name that will join the great family: Titan.

AMD is known to be cheaper than Intel and there are teams that mount the RTX3070 on an i7, for a similar price. In any case, it seems to me an exorbitant price for a laptop that looks almost like an ultrabook (~ 22mm), that will be damaged by heat and that thanks to the aluminum you will not be able to put it on your lap.
It certainly has a great battery and a screen with good resolution and refreshment, but it says nothing about the nits and if the RAM is single socket or dual channel (8GBx2).
I like the idea of brands that support Linux but they are significantly more expensive. : - /

This is not an article, it is a simple announcement of a product, with no hardware tests or comments on it. :?
1st Check the definition of «article».
2º In the article, because it is, the tests are not commented because it is only showing the news of the launch of a new product. Nothing more…
3º It is difficult to have units of a product that is in pre-sale. And although some companies send sample units of some products, this has not been the case in this case.
4th I do not think that those who are really interested in learning about Titan will be bothered by this article.
But you understood what I was saying, yes.
There are some details that are too important not to mention them, and that unfortunately they are not well publicized in the official specifications, but that by asking in the forums you can see:
4 USB 3.2 ports:
* The one on the left side is Type A / gen.2 (10 Gb / s)
* The rear is a Type C / gen. 2 (10 Gb / s) and DisplayPort
* The 2 on the right side are Type A / Gen.1 (5 Gb / s)
2 internal M.2 PCIe 3.0 ports at 4x (almost 4 GByte / s)
1 HDMI 2.1 port (48 Gb / s)
1 Ethernet port at 2.5 Gb / s
Actually, if you compare it with the best-known brands (Asus, etc.) and at this price, you can see that these brands do not incorporate almost any of these characteristics.
Note: Shortly after this and other reviews were published, they have updated the CPU of this laptop with a Ryzen 9 5900hx
