2TB of memory capacity and 32GB of RAM. It seems that Ninkear did not pay attention to the memory crisis at all. And now this laptop looks like something premium. Here you can add a gorgeous 2.5k screen, a powerful processor and a full-fledged keyboard with Russian letters. And in addition, there is also a metal case, all ports, type-C charging and even a card reader and RJ-45. In general, the laptop looks as stuffed as possible. Well, therefore, we will see what this manufacturer, which has already managed to establish itself, offers us. After all, having released their Ninkear A16Pro 2025 model at the end of the year, they seem to say that they still have a lot of aces up their sleeves.

Packaging & Design

The laptop comes in a box with an already updated design from Ninkear. Cardboard packaging decorated in Orange Hermes colors looks very good.

The laptop comes with a wired mouse, a pad, a charger, and also an user manual. Moreover, all this is laid out separately in boxes, which gives additional protection and reliability.

We would like to note that with each new model, Ninkear pays more and more attention to visual design and how the buyer will meet his device. And this is a very valuable addition, because we know what people meet by their clothes. And just here you can see that it is the company's designers who pay attention to these clothes.

As for the set itself, everything is standard here. A wired mouse that has already been seen many times in other models. On the one hand, it looks simple, but in fact it has a very good quality.

The complete mat is also worthy of attention. Now it is made of eco-leather, while still having a logo. Unlike past rubber versions, it looks much nicer both externally and is more pleasant to the touch.

However, due to the fact that the mat was rolled up during delivery, it will take some time for it to straighten up and lie properly on the table. But we can forgive this trifle, because it is a common thing.

As for the power supply, there are no surprises; the manufacturer has equipped the novelty with a quite compact but powerful 100W GAN adapter with PD support.

This power is more than enough to provide a laptop with full power, and the size of the adapter itself can be said to be even modest for such a power. For many, it will be a plus that there is a non-removable cord. And the fact that with this charger you can charge other devices with type-C.

Also included with the laptop was an instruction manual in Russian and a warranty card. But it seems to me that few people are interested in watching them, so we did not even take pictures of this waste paper inside. Well, there is and there is. And we'd better move on to inspecting the laptop itself.

Ninkear N16Pro - Recent Laptop Design

In front of us is a classic laptop diary. The weight of 1.6 kg is achieved thanks to the lightweight aluminum body and composite construction of the laptop platform. We will show it in the section with the filling. On the outer (top) cover there is the manufacturer's logo. It is engraved and does not attract attention. The lid itself is made of aluminum.

The bottom cover is also made of aluminum. There are also two small silicone legs and a large strip that raise the laptop above the surface.

The air intake openings are implemented in the form of a grid of symmetrical holes. Well, on the sides, closer to the user and slightly tilted to the sides, there are speakers.

Also on the bottom cover is the manufacturer's service sticker, and engraved information about the model. On the right side of the laptop there is a card reader, a USB A port, an RJ45 connector, an AUX and a Kensington lock.

Many, by the way, will say a direct thank you for the fact that the RJ45 is not physically removed here. Now there is such a trend that ports are being removed for the sake of saving and allegedly optimizing. And the novelty, on the contrary, has a rich set of ports, by modern standards.

On the left side, everything is also very good. There are two full-fledged USB Type-C supporting both charging and image output, another USB A and an HDMI port.

In fact, all the ports necessary for an ordinary user are available. By the way, the laptop is opened with one hand, it passes the conditional test for Apple confidently. And in general, in terms of assembly, everything here is at a very good level. This is not the first laptop from Ninkear in my review, and we have never had complaints about the quality.

When we open the laptop, we can see a full-size keyboard with a NumLock numeric keypad

Below the keyboard there is a touchpad, with a built-in fingerprint sensor. In 2026, having a sensor in a laptop should already be one of the permanent default features. Like in smartphones. And it is here.

By the way, we noticed that there is an enter button on the NumLock block. On some laptop models, it is no longer installed to save space. They left it right away, which is also a big plus.

As for the screen, we will tell you a little more about it below.

Separately, we note that there is a 2MP webcam above the screen. Its quality is enough for video calls and conferences, and in fact, you can't hope for more here.

Well, for some reason, it is the webcam that does not have a mechanical shutter. A strange solution, the previous models had a curtain, but now they removed it.

Ninkear N16Pro Laptop Screen 2025

If you look at the properties of the monitor in AIDA, you can find out that a CSO1615 MNG007DA1-J matrix manufactured by BOE is installed here. It is an IPS QHD 2560*1600 with a refresh rate which is up to 120Hz. 

As for the declared 100% SRGB, everything is also good here purely in my subjective opinion. Below are test pictures, at the right and side viewing angles.

This is a decent level, as well as the color reproduction. In everyday life, such a matrix gives a very comfortable level of perception of any information. And this already makes up the user experience.

By the way, we want to say once again that it is very important when choosing a laptop to focus on what screen is installed in it. Because it will not be possible to replace this screen, and we spend most of our time just looking at the screen.

To sum up, we can say that we have no complaints about the build quality. Neither about the materials. Nor about the appearance of the laptop. As usual, the quality from Ninkear has already been tested many times. Excellent fit of parts, good materials and characteristics. Well, after a visual inspection, you can move on to synthetic and practical tests.

Tests and Benchmarks

Let's start this section of the review, as expected, with information from CPUID. Inside the laptop, there is an AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS processor. Aka Ryzen 7 255 (but we won't discuss naming as part of the review).

This processor has already proven itself well in many devices, so the manufacturer's desire to build its laptop on it is logical and quite understandable. You can also notice that despite the rise in memory prices on the world market, 32GB of DDR5 memory is installed here (two 16GB dies). Well, the video core of the radeon 780M is responsible for the video.

Well, since we are already at AIDA, let's see the results of other benchmarks as well. Below is the GPU Benchmark and memory benchmarks.

You can see that the memory works in a two-channel. The frequency is 4800 with timings corresponding to adequate behavior, but nothing super-productive. On the one hand, you could want faster RAM, but on the other hand, this will significantly increase the already considerable price for a laptop. And taking into account the built-in video adapter, it will not give an adequate increase in speed. Except in some games. But let's be honest, this laptop cannot be called a gaming one. The video core will always be weaker than a laptop card, albeit a stripped-down one.

Next, let immediately ran a stress test to AIDA and looked at how the laptop behaves under long loads.

From the tests, you can see that the processor reaches a TDP of 55W at its peak and its temperature does not exceed 76 degrees, with an average of 70 degrees. And this is a very good indicator, given the fact that the laptop works a little louder than usual. The cooling system here is well tuned and does not make much noise. It can also be seen that the CPU frequency reaches 4.950MHz, which again corresponds to what is set by the manufacturer from the factory. However, this frequency naturally works in turbobust mode, and the average frequency is about 3.800 MHz. Which looks like a great balance between the CPU and the laptop's cooling system.

Well, while we are still in AIDA, at the same time we will see what hardware is installed inside.

This is the CSO1615 MNG007DA1-J matrix manufactured by BOE. Realtek 8852BE network adapter, well, the processor itself and the piping. By the way, we will look at all this again later, when I disassemble the laptop.

The next test is Performancetest 11.0 Evaulation. The entire system scored a good 7753.2 in this test, which is very, very good (compare to how much your laptop will score).

As usual, the only weak point in this test was the 3D graphics test, since it uses a built-in video core. In the rest of the tests, everything is good and is in the green zones, with good score numbers.

CinebenchR23 benchmark

Bench scored 14641 points in the multi-core test and 1710 points in the single-core test. In fact, in a single-core test, this processor is one of the most powerful.

Next, we ran the benchmark 3DMark, which gave 2610 points in the Steel Nomad Light test (as it was clear, resting on the limitations of the video core).

Well, the overall test in PCMark 10 gave the laptop 6786 points. Pointing out the weak point, again the video core.

These tests are made for video card tests, among other things.

Finally, we gave the load again by launching the OCCT benchmark. First, check the parameters through the built-in benchmark.

And then we gave a load to the Stability Test in Power mode. The results are below:

Here the temperature of the CPU is higher. It reaches 78 degrees (with an average of 54 degrees), well, and the processor itself runs at a frequency of up to 3.800 MHz with a TDP of 45W. Apparently, the OCCT test cannot load the processor to the state of its exit into turbodust. This can be seen both in the time schedule and in the behavior. But in general, the situation is normal and understandable.

Now let's take a look at the SSD drive. CrystalDiskInfo shows us that it has a PCIe 4.0 X4 drive with a capacity of 1TB (and there are two SSDs of 1TB each).

Below are the read and write speed measurements through CrystalDiskMark:

Both read and write speeds are quite good. Not directly top-end, but not every laptop has a write speed of up to 4300MB/s. And this means that neither the SSD nor the bus itself is a bottleneck in the speed of the system. well, 2TB of total volume even in 2026 is enough for a lot of tasks. And taking into account the prices for memory, it is also expensive and rich.

Well, what kind of SSDs are installed inside the laptop, we will see in the next penultimate part of the review.

What's Inside The Ninkear A16Pro Laptop 2025? Let's break it down and see

In order to disassemble the laptop, you need to unscrew 9 screws from the bottom. Then carefully pry off and remove the metal lid of the tray. On the lid, you can see plastic pads to strengthen rigidity and sealing.

Also part of the cover is a spring-loaded RJ-45 port cover. Such trifles show a high culture of assembly.

Now let's look at the filling of the laptop. We can immediately note the high quality of assembly and organization of the internal filling. The presence of a thermal interface and adhesive joints in the plugs. All this is added for the overall reliability of the device.

The main power source of the laptop is a 58.33Wh (5050mA) battery with a voltage of 11.55V. Manufacturer Apower Electronics Co., ltd, A very famous manufacturer in the field of batteries. And this is good. The battery itself has a numbered model AEC626182-3S1P-N (3ICP7/61/82).

Two NVMe SSD drives manufactured by AirDisk are responsible for storing data here. Not the most well-known manufacturer, but it shows decent speeds. We saw this in the benchmarks section. And besides, in 2026, we are already happy with such SSDs.

RAM is also implemented through two DDR5 memory sticks of 16GB each. The memory manufacturer is SCY. By the way, this is a good manufacturer, not very well known in the CIS countries. But again, this year we are happy with what we have.

As for cooling, the proven scheme of two heat pipes and two efficient turbine coolers has been implemented here. Moreover, the coolers are spaced out so that they are as far apart as possible. And at the same time, remove all the heat through the radiators.

We note that even under high load, these coolers are practically inaudible. Well, you have already seen how they cope with heat dissipation in benchmarks. In general, they do a great job, given that the processor installed in the laptop is not cold at all.

Also in the photo, it is worth noting the presence of a very thoughtful solution in the hinges, which, as practice has shown, work and hold reliably for a long time. Due to the fact that the cm lever is spaced across the case, and the fastening is implemented to the chassis of the laptop itself. And in general, after we looked at the filling of the laptop, we were once again convinced that everything here is done with a large margin of reliability. As practice has shown, Ninkear laptops are very reliable. We also have a working laptop from Ninkear, and it has survived a lot. But this is already a distraction. We assemble the laptop, and move on to the results.

Final thoughts

It's been quite a while since we first got acquainted with Ninkear laptops. And during this time, we have had several of their models in my hands. We can say with full confidence that this is a reliable brand that does not just produce laptops, but puts its heart and soul into each model. And the A16 Pro 2025 is another confirmation of this.

Now we used several laptops from Ninkear for different tasks, and they all work properly. No problems with iron, no childhood diseases. Everything is stable and predictable. And this, believe me, is a rarity in our time.

What was especially pleasing about the A16 Pro 2025:

Pros:

  • Two terabytes of SSD – in the era of the memory crisis, this looks like a luxury
  • 32 GB of DDR5 RAM is a reserve for years to come
  • Gorgeous 2.5K 120Hz screen with excellent color reproduction and viewing angles
  • The powerful AMD Ryzen 7 8745HS is a multi-core monster that can handle any task
  • All ports are in place — USB-C with PD, USB-A, HDMI, RJ-45, card reader, audio jack. No adapters and hubs needed
  • Metal body - pleasant to the touch, light (1.6 kg), reliable
  • Quiet cooling system – not annoying even under load
  • Full-fledged keyboard with Russian letters, NumLock and a separate Enter
  • Touchpad fingerprint sensor – fast unlock
  • Rich equipment - a mouse, an eco-leather mat, a powerful 100W GAN adapter
  • The build quality is at the level, no backlashes and creaks
  • Official warranty - the manufacturer is responsible for its equipment

Cons:

  • No mechanical shutter on the webcam (although there was one in previous models)
  • The video core is not enough for gaming, but more than enough for work

Who is this laptop for?

If you are looking for a reliable assistant for work, study, and content making, this A16 Pro is a great choice. It is not a game game, but it is ideal for everyday tasks, video editing, photo processing, programming. The screen is pleasing to the eye, the performance is enough with a margin, and two terabytes of memory will close the issue of data storage for a long time.

As for reliability, Ninkear has already proven that it can make high-quality laptops. The manufacturer gives an official warranty, there is Russian-speaking support. I've personally been using their laptops for years, and they've never let me down. This is worth a lot.

Verdict: The Ninkear A16 Pro 2025 is a balanced, powerful and reliable laptop for those who value quality, performance and do not want to overpay for the brand. We recommend!
