TECNO Unveils the First Flagship Laptop, the MEGABOOK S1 with USB4 Support and 3.2K 120 Hz Display
TECNO, a global innovative technology brand with operations in over 70 markets, recently announced the latest MEGABOOK S1 at TECNO Flagship Product Launch 2022 in Dubai, delivering its first flagship laptop to users.
In 2019, TECNO announced new efforts in building a digital product ecosystem by launching its AIoT business strategy, aiming to deliver digital to every person, home, and organization and help them create a fully- connected smart digital lifestyle. Following this vision, as the upgraded line of MEGABOOK T1, the flagship MEGABOOK S1 highlights the concept of ideas that create wonders, targeting users in professional fields like business and the creative industries, helping them work with ease while still achieving a higher efficiency.
OneLeap: Seamless Connection between TECNO Smartphone and Laptop
TECNO's new generation OneLeap bridges TECNO's latest PHANTOM X2 Series and MEGABOOK S1 through an intelligent wireless connection, realizing premium-level data transfers within TECNO's smart ecosystem. The MEGABOOK S1 has been equipped with NFC function that supports air connection, easily achieving five key functions including One Leap, Data Sharing, Files Management, Multi-screen Collaboration, and Reverse Network Sharing.
The connection efficiency has also been improved by 50%, and can be completed within as fast as 3 seconds. With optimized air-transmission modes, the speed increased from 70 Mbps to 200 Mbps+. Users could easily manage smartphone files on their laptops in real-time, while enjoying the seamless copy-paste across devices to boost their work efficiency.
The Futuristic MEGA Appearance: Ultra-slim Design with Industry First Iceless Craft Technology
TECNO MEGABOOK S1 provides the lightest, thinnest of 15.6-inch business creative laptops in MEGA performance with only 1.35 kg plus 13.5 mm of thickness. MEGABOOK S1 is made with a magnesium alloy body plus the industry first Iceless Craft technology in the industry. With nanomaterials painting for 5 layers of overlapping spray, it provides users with a comfortable experience, without having to worry about all the fingerprints left on the surface, which keeps the laptop well-maintained, and always looks new.
The Incredible MEGA Screen: Ultra-boundless and Tearless Vision Experience
MEGABOOK S1 breaks the boundary by presenting an ultra-boundless 16:10 screen with a screen-to-body ratio of up to 90%, plus a 3.2K high-resolution display that brings business users and content creators an unparalleled premium experience. This flagship version has also been upgraded to provide a smooth experience with a 120 Hz high refresh rate to run all usage incredibly smoothly. Even more, through 450 nits of light and a DC Smart sensor, you could easily use it day and night, switching between indoors and outdoors without worries and discomfort.
Therefore, MEGABOOK S1 has taken users to a better visual level, showing more portrait content to improve efficiency and enjoyment. Meanwhile, it comes with 100%sRGB colors, professional color accuracy, and TUV low-blue light certification to give users a perfect result and a tearless experience.
Release The MEGA Performance: Empowered by Intel 12th i7 and Window 11
The MEGA performance is powered by Intel Core latest i7-1260P processor. At the same time, it used the newest LPDDR5 RAM of 8 GB/16 GB, the frequency of our LPDDR5 is up to 5200 MHz. Meanwhile, provided by PCIe 4.0 512 GB/1 TB SSD Large Storage supports reading speeds up to 5000 MB/s and writing speeds up to 4800 MB/s. It allows users to operate more smoothly and effectively.
MEGABOOK S1 also uses the Ice Storm System with VC Cooling models, which makes the heat dissipation performance improve by 32.5%. The overall performance resulting released the CPU performance to the utmost level as high as 126.9%, which is up to 35 W.
MEGABOOK S1 is also well-equipped with Windows 11 system, which fits the idea of "Make the Everyday Easier", Easier on the eyes and easier to use. That's what Windows 11 PCs are all about.
Optimize The MEGA Experience: Immersive in Entertainment and Efficient for Work
MEGABOOK S1 also upgraded to TECNO VOC PLUS sound system by installing 4 full-frequency speakers and 2 tweeters plus DTS:X Ultra cinema sound effect, achieving the on-spot surrounding matrix, providing users an ever more excellent immersive sound experience with realistic movie sound effects. The smart-AI experience for conferences through smart AI ENC algorithm to achieve 6-meter human sound picked up, and the ambient sound is automatically reduced.
MEGABOOK S1 also maintains the smallest size of 65 W gallium nitride (GaN) charger in the MEGABOOK Series, reaching 40% faster and 100 g light weight than most laptop chargers. The 70Wh high-density battery also supports up to 12 hours of continuous usage, which well-satisfies the demand of one-day work. The super large touch panel is updated to provide more operating space with higher fault tolerance and efficiency. In addition, MEGABOOK S1 prepared 7 ports. Through the latest USB 4.0 port, the total data transmission speed can reach 40 Gbps. Therefore, it's quite notable that different from most general 15.6-inch business laptops, MEGABOOK S1 was able to attain the MEGA performance within ultra-light and thin for users no matter for content creation, entertainment, or office work.

11 Comments on TECNO Unveils the First Flagship Laptop, the MEGABOOK S1 with USB4 Support and 3.2K 120 Hz Display
Laptops have all sorts of non standard resolutions these days.It's a xinese company, phone maker mostly, that's been branching out into other products.
At 16:9 it's lower res than QHD (1440p) but it could be an ultrawide 1280p - 2560x1280 is 3.2K
Some Macbooks use 2234 vertical resolution, and that would work at 2234x1396 for 3.2K as well, but you can't just rotate the subpixels without text-clarity issues.
Don't ask me why they call that 3.2k, but it appearst that we've moved on to a stage where the biggest number is being touted rather than the actual resolution.
Also, the press release says 16:10, so it's not 16:9.
As a point of reference, Acer calls their 2880x1800 displays for 2.8k.
Added a video, but it doesn't specify the exact resolution either.
consumer.huawei.com/en/laptops/matebook-x-pro-2022/
On a side note I think the main reason they arrive at this resolution(s) is that I suspect it is the maximum resolution an Intel 11th gen Iris Xe Graphics can squeeze out of its eDP at 90Hz. Upping it to 12th gen increased the supported resolution, but to cut costs of developing a new panel, they just drive the same panel from their 11th gen counterparts at 120hz.
QHD is something like 3.7MP, and the two resolutions I quoted are 3.2MP. I blame that lapse on 1920x1080 being closer to 2MP than it is to 2K, numerically, and that's true even for decimal 2K, ie 2000. Ever since then I've just gone "oh, it's Megapixels" unless I think a bit harder. Doesn't help that I deal with camera megapixels as much as I deal with monitor resolutions.
Calling screens by their horizontal resolution only makes sense for standard aspect ratios. Ultrawides or tallboys mustn't use the "K" convention because without a corresponding vertical designation (either with words like ultrawide, or with an aspect ratio) the actual resolution is still undefined.Common resolutions are all based on TVs, since that drives the primary resolution of what's manufactured:
- 480p predated LCD, so it's not used for modern displays.
- 720p started it all with HD
- 1080p was the 50% better upgraded Full-HD
- 1440p is four 720p regions of mother glass when dividing up the substrate
- 4K is four 1080p regions.
- 5K will be four 1440p regions
Laptops and phones aren't tied to 16:9 economies of scale the way desktop monitors are, so they are both more expensive (lower volume) and come in a much wider selection of resolutions and aspect ratios. Those economies of scale for desktop displays are also why a 21:9 ultrawide is usually a lot more than 30% more expensive than their 16:9 counterparts, despite being only 30% more panel.Yet another weak ass cooled notebook
I've dealt with so many laptops with this design before and 35W is ridiculously optimistic. Usually they are 15W models and they overheat after 5 minutes of PL1/Boost at 25W.
