Corsair Voyager : 2023's Underappreciated Gem!

video thumbnail
I love that Corsair made the effort to make their first laptop a reality. ALTHOUGH, from the eyes of many, this was seen as a commercial flop as it just did not shift many units. BUT YOU SHOULD GET ONE! It was Corsair's first attempt and many very skeptical of that especially because it was sporting a premium price in such a competitive market with its AMD Advantage Edition. BUT, that is no longer the case, Corsair wants to clear its losses and YOU can benefit. I think, at USD 1100, this can probably become the value for money best gaming laptop of the year 2023. Sure! that is a tall claim and the Corsair is by no means perfect but at that price, it is worth every single cent. The following are the key hardware specs of the device reviewed:
