The NAVE Estelar notebook was tested using the configuration featuring an Intel Core i7-14700HX, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060 with 8GB, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB NVMe SSD. The results indicated that the device can maintain a stable 60 frames per second (FPS) in most demanding games evaluated, in addition to having a 240Hz IPS screen with 100% sRGB coverage, confirming its promise as a functional 'hybrid machine' for both gamers and content creators.
Positive points include maintaining a stable 60 FPS in titles such as Cyberpunk 2077, Forza Horizon 6, and Street Fighter 6 in Ultra mode. The 16-inch IPS screen offers 240Hz and 100% sRGB coverage, making it ideal for color grading work. Additionally, the RTX 4060 supports Ray Tracing and DLSS, and the 230W power supply ensures stability even under maximum load, providing a good balance between gaming performance and audiovisual workflow.
On the other hand, notable drawbacks were identified: the 16GB of RAM may limit heavy multitasking when editing software is open simultaneously. In games requiring greater optimization, such as Forza Motorsport and Tekken 8, the frame rate tends to vary, moving out of the fixed 60 FPS range. Furthermore, the 512GB SSD is considered limited for those dealing with high-resolution video files.
The core idea of the NAVE Estelar is to cater to two distinct audiences that rarely overlap: the gamer and the creative professional. Although this is a common argument in the powerful notebook market, the NAVE Estelar attempts to validate this proposal by combining a robust processor for intensive multitasking with a screen specifically designed for color correction and video export.
By analyzing the tested version with the Intel Core i7-14700HX (with 14 cores), RTX 4060 with 8GB, 16GB of RAM, and 512GB NVMe SSD, we verified whether the claim of a 'hybrid machine' materialized in practice or was merely technical rhetoric.
Internal Components: The Engine Supporting Technical Multitasking
The i7-14700HX is classified as a premium segment CPU, and this is reflected in its performance, allowing heavy tasks to be executed without slowdown, offering capacity for fast rendering and complex simulations. The 8GB RTX 4060 keeps pace, providing support for real-time Ray Tracing and the performance benefit of DLSS.
An important, yet often overlooked, aspect is the 230W power adapter. Notebooks with this combination of CPU and GPU often suffer from performance drops if the power supply does not meet the demand. In this model, the energy is supplied without fluctuations, ensuring that the CPU and GPU operate at factory limits without being constrained by the power supply.
Stress Test: Five Games, One Verdict Per Title
The NAVE Estelar was run through several graphically demanding titles from the current market, aiming not only to see if they worked but also to identify their performance limits.
In Forza Motorsport, configured on medium with automatic DLSS, the notebook maintained an average of 60 FPS on clear-sky tracks. However, during heavy rain, the rate dropped above 50 FPS, signaling that the consistent 60 FPS performance has limits. In Forza Horizon 6, on 'High' settings, it managed to maintain a constant 60 FPS, even in dynamically generated open worlds, demonstrating its strong point.
Cyberpunk 2077 delivered smooth 60 FPS in all tested areas at high quality, exceeding expectations. Street Fighter 6 surprised by maintaining a stable 60 FPS, even when the pre-configured graphic setting of 'High' was forced to 'Ultra'. Finally, in Tekken 8, at native resolution of 2560x1600 with high settings, the FPS fluctuated in the 55 FPS range, showing frequent peaks of 60 FPS during confrontations.
The observed pattern is that, in well-optimized games (such as Forza Horizon 6, Cyberpunk 2077, and Street Fighter 6), the NAVE Estelar achieves stable 60 FPS without issues. In titles requiring greater optimization (Forza Motorsport and Tekken 8), it still provides a playable experience, but without the same guarantee of consistency.
Shifting Focus: How the Screen Redefines This Notebook's Audience
It is in the screen that the NAVE Estelar transcends the category of 'just another powerful gaming notebook' and justifies its hybrid narrative. The 16-inch IPS panel with a 240Hz refresh rate would already be satisfactory for competitive gamers. However, the 100% sRGB coverage and high contrast are specific features for those who require chromatic accuracy, not just a high frame rate.
Combined with the processing power of the CPU and GPU, the notebook truly transforms into a mobile studio. Graphic designers, photographers, and video editors can perform precise color grading and render complex projects in high resolution without relying on calibrated external monitors.
Who is Behind NAVE Estelar: Daten and the Transition to 'High-Performance Professionals'
It is relevant to understand the origin of this hybrid proposal, as it represents a brand repositioning, not just passing marketing. NAVE was established in 2020 as the gaming division of Daten, a Brazilian computer manufacturer founded in 2001. The company has its own factories in Ilhéus (BA) and Manaus, employing over 600 employees. Daten already provides solutions for banks, technology companies, and public agencies, holding international certifications for quality, sustainability, and governance.
In 2026, the brand formalized its expansion beyond the gaming niche, introducing the concept of 'High-Performance Professionals.' This audience includes video editors, animators, architects, engineers, content creators, designers, healthcare professionals, developers, and data analysts who rely on significant processing power daily. It is exactly this group that the NAVE Estelar targets with the combination of the RTX 4060 and the color-accurate screen.
Within the current NAVE line, the Estelar occupies an intermediate position: below it is the NAVE Lunar (which uses 14th Gen Intel Core + RTX 4050, focused on competitive gaming, streaming, and light creation), and above it is the NAVE SuperNova (equipped with Intel Core i9 + RTX 4070/4080/4090, intended for heavy rendering and professional audiovisual production). As NAVE itself states, the Estelar was conceived for AAA gaming, video editing, and 3D modeling, which corresponds to the test findings.
Another decisive factor in purchasing, especially for those who use the machine for work, is that the brand has over a thousand accredited technical assistance centers across all Brazilian states, minimizing the risk of being without support in case of failure.
Is It Worth It?
The NAVE Estelar delivers on its promise, albeit with a caveat: it shows greater consistency in optimized games than in technically very demanding titles, and the 16GB of RAM requires attention from anyone planning to run games and editing software simultaneously. Excluding these points, every frame is significant, whether finishing a competitive match or delivering an audiovisual project on time.
For those seeking a single machine capable of sustaining high-performance leisure and a professional workflow without needing to switch equipment, the NAVE Estelar configures itself as a robust recommendation.
