With 17-inch 3D screen ASUS G74S high end game laptop in this evaluation

With 17-inch 3D screen ASUS G74S  laptop high end game in this evaluation.
Perhaps in the area of high-end gaming notebook we hear more from "alien" information, but with the increasing user demand for high-end gaming notebook, Alienware aliens a dominance of the era has passed, more and more manufacturers are also began his career in this field, ASUS series is one of the player's Kingdom.

ASUS Republic of gamer is a subsidiary of ASUS brand specifically for fever-game users, including plates, machine and notebooks and we today to introduce the G74S high-end gaming notebook is ASUS the player's Kingdom.

Adhering to the performance of desktop gaming PC into the portable laptop concept, ASUS G74S  laptop equipped with the second processor, 8GB daikurui i7-2630QM bulk high speed memory, DDR3 750GB 7,200 RPM hard drive and NVIDIA GTX high-performance discrete graphics 560M graphics memory, brought us smooth gaming experience. Then we went from being the whole machine design, game performance, Office terms of performance and comfort 4 comprehensive look at Asus G74S.

ASUS Republic of gamer G74S as positioning high-end gaming notebooks, its design is very domineering, the fuselage of whole body with matte black material, its surface through a special process, has a similar texture of rubber coating, feels more comfortable.

On the complete machine contour design, ASUS G74S laptop  inspired by the stealth fighter and super sports car, its technical angular, sturdy lines, accompanied by a structure. At first glance, and Lamborghini car JACK, very domineering.

ASUS G74S laptop  has a very nice display, with 17-inch 1920x1080 the full HD resolution matte screen, support for 3D displays, combined with random included 3D glasses, playing a movie of the game brings you lifelike 3D effect. The screen brightness and it is very high, which gives us even with 3D glasses on, nor does it screen is too dark.

ASUS G74S laptop  keyboard pool with brushed texture of metal materials, composite materials above the palmrest and keyboard, similar to rubber surface with textured surface, matching black chocolate keyboard, clean atmosphere.

ASUS G74S laptop  touchpad is very spacious, 1920x1080 resolution, edit slide from left side of the screen to the right side of the screen takes less than two, but in the process of sliding, editors feel touch its surface with a slightly damp, but the overall experience was very good, if out of 10, called ASUS G74S edit, 8 min.

ASUS G74 laptop  drift before the screen hinge-style design, it makes our glasses are more close display, in a smaller space, that is designed to gain a better visual effect, but it also poses some trouble, which is limiting the G74S of the opening angle of the screen. On the damping of the screen, in order to support such a large and heavy screens, G74S compared to the damping of larger General notebook. However due to the weight also be very heavy, we can still be opened in one hand.

ASUS quick launch buttons, you can put us in a short period of time in the ASUS express gate cloud system. It will provide us with the most basic of browsing the Web, send and receive .messages, watch movies, listen to music, and other basic features. Asus laptop battery.

ASUS G74S interfaces are all distributed on both sides of the fuselage, its settings on the left side of the fuselage the USB2.0 interface, headphone and microphone interface, its layout is relatively reasonable. 1 USB3.0 interfaces are gathered on the right side of the fuselage, 1 USB2.0 interface, 1 x VGA interface, power and network cable interface interface. From an overall interface configuration, ASUS G74S meet our needs, but for high-end games that have such a volume would have said, only configure a USB3.0 interfaces.

ASUS G74S  laptop  for the upgrade quickly removing the bezel at the bottom of the fuselage, we only need a coin can be unscrewed the screws, unlock the bezel notebook upgrades.
ASUS G74S the bottom of the bezel opens, we see that the ASUS G74S has provided us with 2 hard drives, we can install composed RAID0 lifting machine 2 hard disk performance. In addition, ASUS G74S also has 4 memory slots, scales up to 16GB of memory.

ASUS G74S positioning high-end fever-game users, its commitment to let us in for the ultimate gaming experience at the same time, has a certain portability. From the machine configuration, ASUS carry core I7 quad-core 2630QM processor, GTX560M video cards. From a performance point of view, similar high-end gaming, ASUS G74S processor performance is relatively weak, now mix GTX560M this level most of the high-end gaming video card equipped with I7 or I7 2720M 2820M processor. Next we look at the G74S in the actual game performance.

Our traditional game testing projects mainly for mainstream notebooks, their relative G74S this high-end gaming performance would have said, to the much lower, so on the test results, ASUS G74S in the case of 1280x720 resolution off anti-aliasing, so you can smoothly run all games on the market. Here of course the test just for comparisons with typical notebook, a configuration GTX560M-level graphics, with 1920x1080 resolution high-end gamers would have said, above the effects for a very rough test, we also G74S for a more in-depth testing of the game.

ASUS G74S laptop  is equipped with 1920x1080 resolution 17-inch 3D display, so we have selected 3 large 3D game, adjust the game screen to 1920x1080 the highest resolution setting, then from perception point of view, is excellent. On the overall smoothness of the game, G74S Basic can this 3 large 3D game running smoothly.

Course la since has 3D display function, has equipped with has GTX560M so senior other video card, so in opened 3D display of situation Xia, ASUS G74S laptop  although cannot in highest picture quality Xia smooth run Islands crisis under, and dust 3 under, but will picture quality slightly reduced some, on no what problem has/however ASUS G74S also is can in highest picture quality Xia smooth run mission calls 7 under and game 3D effect very excellent. However in the running of the dust 3 when 3D effects are unsatisfactory.

In addition to appearance and performance, notebook's heat, noise and screen display directly affects our comfort of use, so we were made to the ASUS G74S-related tests.

ASUS G74S fuselage design of cooling vents in the back of the fuselage, and equipped with dual fans, machine cooling, and keyboard face maximum temperature is 37 degrees only, use comfortable. On the noise control, ASUS G74S laptop is equipped with 2 cooling fan, but this did not bring more noise. Under high load, we test the ASUS G74S laptop  noise with decibel meter was 43.9 DB, looks like the most portable, not very noisy.

In addition we also conducted tests on display of the ASUS G74S. From the test results, ASUS G74S laptop  17.3-inch display looks great. It has 76.01%NTSC the color field, more than 90% notebook screen, color very well. The screen brightness, ASUS G74S laptop  as equipped with a 3D display, supports-shutter 3D display technologies, so G74S laptop  to have 443cd/m2 high screen brightness, to the maximum extent to ensure a portable 3D display, is excellent.

ASUS G74S as a positioning high-end gamers notebook, its configuration fully meet our usual business applications. From the test scores of SYSmark, its final score of 217, at a relatively high level; it's processor performance in the current notebook configurations at relatively high position, can bring us good business performance.

While the ASUS G74S works very well in terms of performance, but its fuselage size huge and should not be carried to work every day, and the asus laptop battery life is very short, test in a high-performance Office environment maybe entitled to 2 hours and 50 minutes, the actual time will be further reduced. Course G74S own positioning high-end gamers than desktops, it can be moved along. However editors think the General knapsack to hold this great guy, would do well to use trolley case.

Edit view:
ASUS G74S core i7-2630QM processor, by virtue of the second generation 8GB DDR3 bulk high speed memory, 750GB, 7,200 RPM hard drive, and NVIDIA GTX graphics discrete graphics on a 560M, so you can play any game currently available. In addition, the 3D display features, excellent temperature control, solid and robust workmanship and catch up with the desktop monitor screen, G74S provides ultra-high performance at the same time, ensures the comfort of use, made the game play more readily.

Advantages:

17.3-inch 1920x1080-resolution 3D screen looks very good
Support for NVIDIA 3D Vision technology, with very good 3D display
Machine temperature control, and keyboard up to 37 degrees closer to body temperature, no burning sensation
GTX560M provides a strong game performance, high quality of play with almost all listed games
Upgrading is very convenient and no screwdriver, just a coin to open fuselage top cover
Equipped with dual hard drives, formed the RAID0 lifting machine performance

Disadvantages;

Notebook weight 4.448KG and carried very inconvenient, it is recommended that used trolley case
Battery life is not satisfactory, relatively short battery life of 2 hours 50 minutes
Such a large fuselage and high-end hardware configurations, equipped with only 1 USB3.0 interfaces, less compared with the same positioning model interface.

Asus X53S laptop evaluation

Asus X53S notebook evaluation.As the diversification of user needs, in the notebook market, the mainstream brand of positioning products are usually based on a number of different series of models introduced in this subject among the low-priced models are usually a high degree of concern products, today Asus X53S evaluation of the protagonist is such a product has a low price.
Asus X53S in the core components used by the Intel Pentium B940 processor with NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M graphics card combinations, mainly located in the entry-level entertainment, and simple everyday office applications, its low price for students, and so focus on affordable attractive to consumers.
15-inch machine specifications mold making, the larger 15.6-inch screen with 2.6kg weight on its stand-alone is not suitable for frequent when carried out, but the larger screen but can be applied in daily good users when visual effects.
Brown body with stamping surface texture
The X53S on the body color of brown with a low-key calm, its cover showing through the stamping process orderly grid texture effect, can effectively avoid the class piano surface exposed to the fingerprint issue. In the corner office with a smooth transition to design ways to increase the strength of the fuselage, in testing we put your hands squeeze on its roof during the test did not show significant deformation, indicating that its screen protection is very good.Aircraft the B-side part of the screen frame with a handle class piano effect, in a central location on the screen frame with 30-megapixel network camera, the effects of treatment with class piano border in beautiful but also more exposed to fingerprint, and this treatment process for the use of mirror screen machine, the environment may be formed in the overall light reflection resulting in inconvenience to the user viewing.
The keyboard surface material made with a metal panel, played a very good support effect can be seen from the figure with its palm rest part of the roof using the same treatment process, can also play a very good anti-fouling effect. The keyboard uses a common sub-Asus products on the island-style keyboard, with good dirt, large keycap also ensures a good feel, thanks to 15 inches mold caused by a larger space, the aircraft There is also a separate numeric keypad.The external interface, provides users with this X53S three USB2.0 ports, a VGA port, an HDMI port, an RJ-45 and 1 set of audio, microphone port, and a combination of multi-card reader to meet the needs of the vast majority of everyday use. ASUS A32-F3 laptop battery.
X53S at the bottom of the fuselage has a support rapid removal of the independent tailgate, convenient for users to upgrade memory and hard drive. In the standard memory in the machine provides only a 2GB DDR 1333 memory, and set aside a spare memory slot.
Low overall performance more balanced overall performance
The X53S in the core hardware used by the Intel Pentium B940 processor with NVIDIA GeForce GT 520M graphics card combinations, which both are currently used on the low-end mainstream notebook entry-level products.
As expected, the aircraft under the benchmark is lower than the performance shown by the mainstream models currently on the market average, but the good news is, its relatively good performance of the whole office, indicating that the B940-processor the ability to 2.0GHz frequency, or to meet the needs of most everyday office applications. The view from the storage unit, 320GB 5400 rpm hard drive and 2GB of memory with the same situation with a low, accustomed to place in your notebook or frequent users who download a lot of movies, 320GB of hard disk space slightly less.
The aircraft used by the GT 520M graphics card is the entry-level applications for this year NVIDIA launched the product, although its performance compared to integrated graphics has advantages, but still insufficient to support a higher load 3D games run smoothly. In the test, we chose several popular 3D games nowadays are more games on the machine performance was measured. The game includes both the Street Fighter 4 this platform for running less demanding games, Lost Planet 2 also includes a platform that has a high demand for the game.
In the test, in addition to Need for Speed ​​14 in higher picture quality with a whole set, the remaining three games are used in high-end mix is ​​set up. From picture frames over 30FPS game can be achieved when the basic flow effect, make the game more than 60FPS fluency in running condition to achieve the best point of view, the comprehensive ability to X53S in the low load only meet the basic smooth 3D game , and for such as Lost Planet 2 has a higher load on the platform for 3D games, even to reduce the quality of the practice is still no guarantee that the process of the game completely smooth.
Life time of nearly five hours
ASUS Laptop battery life in the performance tests, we used the MobileMark 2007 test session in its office applications validated, the test may reflect a laptop in the office under low load applications, demonstrated life. As can be seen from the figure, this X53S test results of 285 minutes, the performance specifications in the same body with 15 inches of product in a moderate level, its been a long time is not suitable machine for mobile office body, its endurance performance is sufficient for most users of the application needs. ASUS Laptop batteries.
Temperature control is very good
Integrated larger body, low-power core components and the use of metal and other factors, body temperature results in this X53S has a very good performance. In the tests we use software simulation environment to a higher load pressure on the product itself, and lasted 30 minutes after its surface temperature were recorded. From the keyboard body and bottom of the thermal imaging map view, the maximum temperature of only 38.4 degrees Celsius, the temperature close to the body's normal body temperature does not make the user feel discomfort in use.
Advantages: cheap; larger screen and viewing area; excellent temperature effects; body stain-resistant ability.
Less than: overall performance is low, only to meet basic office and entertainment needs; 320GB of hard drive storage capacity is small; lower pixel camera.

Dell XPS 14z to build a model of aesthetic experience evaluation.

Dell XPS 14z to build a model of aesthetic experience evaluation. Dell's XPS can be a "magic" of the series, because you can see both the birth of the series has been the ultimate thin and light product, you can also see the launch over the top game based products, with the "do not take an unusual way" to XPS can be said to describe deserved. Now, bring us a new generation of XPS series, but also a new concept, if you first see it, certainly that "this is not the MacBook Pro it?" Questions, and when after we savor , but also can find it with the many differences between the MacBook Pro.
The launch of the XPS 14z is a letter home laptop, but compared with the previous generation, but not a performance-based game-play product, XPS 14z essence is to allow users to experience unprecedented grade sense and ease of use, while benefiting from the thin anodized aluminum material properties, and its super-slim design also makes it the thinner one of the 14-inch notebook. Dell laptop batteries.The new XPS 14z bottom of the fuselage design is very familiar, if you put aside thermal windows, I believe most people would think that Apple's MacBook Pro. Because the whole bottom of the panel is integrated with the body wall molding to create a total of eight screws be fixed, the design is simple, all-aluminum housing not only helps the body heat, and looks fairly upscale feel.
All along, the Dell notebooks in the work area have a great experience, very seriously. Spirit from the more mainstream, thinking jump to the top of the Alienware, also, or business to the Latitude and Vostro, each a product of the work are convincing. The "magic" of the XPS series of course will not be disappointed, the new XPS 14z body every detail just the right place, well-polished, all-aluminum body with shiny metallic waist, plus rounded edges angle transition, bit by bit between all showing remarkable temperament.
XPS 14z entire body is wrapped in anodized aluminum material, although not as MacBook Pro as the molding process used to create one, but the integration has reached a very high level. In addition, the anodized aluminum material wear and safety is also very high, while taking into account the demand for fashion, so we can see, XPS 14z is a slim, stylish and good performance of the portable 14 inches notebook computers. Look closely you will find that Dell XPS 14z is one of the biggest feature 14-inch screen with 13-inch mold. And this endless smoky quartz screen design is very clever, to ensure users can enjoy a large enough field of vision of the situation, to the greatest degree of reduction of the whole volume. 14 in. B + RG glossy wide-screen full-HD, a maximum resolution of 1366 × 768 pixels, the screen is very delicate texture, the color performance of the crisp, bright, non-standard laptop display comparable, even higher requirements for the visual experience of a friend , the choice XPS 14z will be attracted by the display. Many laptops with random "pull" thermal windows than to do a few holes, XPS 14z of the thermal window can be called after a very careful design, with four rounded rectangle, and a hole formed form, was strip clouds in the bottom of the fuselage to enhance the cooling efficiency at the same time, there is no damage to the simple sense of the whole body.
If the all-aluminum die XPS Poxian fashion look from the outside, then opened the roof after we see the keyboard part, it becomes more low-key. A surface with different surface and D, C looks like the surface of the material is metal though, but actually does not use a metal material, but the use of titanium gray with a metallic tone, and the metal texture match to reach the metallic effect. While the titanium gray look, while not advertised, but maintained a sense of the whole grade.
XPS 14z keyboard part of the seemingly simple design, but look closely, there are many areas of concern. First we will look towards the C side of the upper left corner, where the printed XPS 14z model of this machine, side panel and C, compared with lighter gray font imprint is made clear and concise.
In addition, XPS 14z keyboard is also equipped with a backlight, open, release a faint white light, although not as Alienware series backlight so dazzling, but some unique mood, but also with its own positioning and design complement each other. After all, the XPS 14z of users, not those who seek individuality enthusiasts. For the C face, the most important thing is the keyboard part of the design, because we are the most daily contact with the laptop where the keyboard is, the key process control is reasonable, Cap is comfortable, can affect the ultimate experience. XPS 14z keyboard design is definitely the first time be able to attract the eye, rather metallic keycap round, cute, while the overall style with the perfect blend. XPS 14z design of the entire body is perhaps the most humble touchpad it, just from the outside, it really is not anything special, of moderate size, about the traditional button design, and bright metallic surface edging material children, so everything is quite satisfactory, but when you use it to control the time, you will appreciate the deep, minimalist in its plain exterior, it must be gone through a careful design, the ultimate, in place sensitivity control and accurate positioning accuracy, abnormal soft and comfortable touch feeling, even if not used to the touchpad for people who can easily be manipulated. Relative to those of ordinary notebooks, XPS 14z comfort touch pad can be "perfect" to describe!
Dell XPS 14z interface layout and XPS 15z is somewhat different, most are concentrated in the rear of the fuselage, while the left and right sides of the fuselage did not schedule any interface, although this design can not see the variety of cable cutting situation, the overall feeling stronger notebook, but the usual operating ease of use may be affected to some degree, but it also depends on personal habits. Here, we have to look at specific aspects of this XPS 14z in the interface which areas of concern? The left side of the fuselage arrangement headphone jack, microphone jack, and multi-card reader slot. In the right side of the fuselage, XPS 14z did not set any interface, in addition to configuring a slot-loading DVD burner, it also provides a laptop battery capacity at any time to view the LED, the user presses the button next to light after the LED will automatically light, five light notebook battery will inform the user of the current situation, and this at the user-friendly design, you can not boot to help users understand the power of the state.
The rear fuselage is the main interface XPS 14z distribution area, we can see from left to right, power connector, a mini-DisplayPort port, HDMI 1.4 high-definition interface, two USB 2.0 high speed interface and RJ-45 Ethernet port, Although the arrangement of the rear position of the interface is relatively reasonable, but the emergence of cable in use simultaneously, between the affected cases, but the number of interfaces is relatively lacking.
In the hardware configuration, the Dell XPS 14z did not take fever-level performance line, but with a 32nm process technology Intel Core i7 2640M dual-core processor, featuring Intel HM67 chipset, equipped with large capacity 750GB 7200RPM hard drive, and 2 × 2GB DDR3 1333MHz memory speed, in addition, the machine factory preloaded with genuine Windows 7 operating system. In the graphics, the performance of mainstream models with 1GB of video memory NVIDIA GeForce GT520M discrete graphics processor also comes with Intel Core HD 3000-based graphics cards in dual graphics switching.
As the Dell XPS line of high-end consumer notebook models to the mainstream home-based play, and therefore did not pursue the ultimate in graphics performance. The entry-level model is equipped with NVIDIA Geforce GT 520M graphics card, the game performance of 5713 points is not high, and high-quality audio through SRS certified speaker system so that individual points in the music reached the 8419 points. In addition, XPS 14z in the other major achievements on the individual's performance are good, outstanding processing performance is a home notebook.
Dell XPS 14z together with a large capacity 750GB 7200RPM hard drive, HD Tune we tested its performance. From the screenshot we see the test results, average transfer rate of this drive 96.2MB / s, the maximum transfer rate of 123.9MB / s and a minimum transfer rate of 65.2MB / s, only 18.2 ms access time, too benefit from the speed of 7200RPM hard drive, its performance is good. In addition, reading rate curve from the fluctuations of view, the stability of good hard drive.
Then, we take a look through the electronic weighing scale with this XPS 14z battery weight and travel weight How? As the history of the thinnest 14-inch laptop, XPS14z than 15z in mobility but also a qualitative leap, while its performance loss is limited, it seems more biased towards the actual product size 13 inches mold, after the machine configuration 8-cell battery weight of 2.013kg, and with adapter to 2.514kg, with 13-inch MacBook Pro compared to the weight of 2.04kg, XPS 14z should be the most lightweight 14-inch notebooks.
Here we look at XPS 14z endurance How? Our system comes with Windows 7 Power Management software has been its ability to estimate life test, this XPS 14z ultimate life of 9 hours and 41 minutes, and the experience to judge according to the test, the actual Dell laptop battery life in the 4-5 hours. Although this result only as a reference value point of view, but its performance in the 14-inch laptop which is very commendable.
Previous 14-inch thin portable notebook market is undoubtedly a dominant MacBook Pro, Dell XPS 14z but there is no doubt expected to break this pattern, and relative to the former,, 14z some of the price to be more affordable, and the overall quality and not lost to a 13.3-inch MacBook Pro.
Today, the number was up to the focus on quality notebook manufacturers can be described as rare, even if one of the Dell, and has always been adhering to this belief. And look at today's XPS 14z, all-aluminum metal case, with solid workmanship and design, I believe that durability will certainly not lose its predecessors, it is undoubtedly worth considering a home entertainment product.
Dell XPS 14z is not a performance-based game-play product, but for ordinary recreational applications, and the machine required a higher quality of products available to consumers. XPS 14z entire body all-metal body design is not only durable but also a sense of the full grade, the first time be able to attract the attention of consumers.
In addition, XPS 14z many aspects has its own characteristics, such as thermal windows distinctive design style, size large, good quality speaker system, a unique arrangement of interfaces and so on, every detail can make us see this product carefully crafted, high-speed processing capability while notebook with more long-term endurance are commendable.

Updated processor nature can bring to users a faster program response, wPrime test, Intel Core Duo i5-2430M processor and 32M operation takes three seconds and 18.062 seconds respectively, high-volume application user actions can be more clearly felt the performance gains the processor upgrade.

In addition to the processor, front-Dell Ling 14R other basic core parts without any changes. Dell Inspiron 14R (ins14rd-758al) South Asia of standard single 4GB DDR3 1333MHz memory, speed of a job well done.
Dell Inspiron 14R (ins14rd-758al) carrying on a 5,400 revolutions per minute of Toshiba 640GB SATA hard disk, speed's fair, the read speed of the HD Tune test average speed of 54.4MB/seconds, and maximum read speed of 75.4MB/seconds, and a minimum read speed of only 11.7MB/seconds.
Gamers are most concerned about is that the video card's performance, but unfortunately, the front-Dell 14R and the spirit does not have to upgrade the video card, still follows the previous sale Dai Erling 14R (ins14rd-668) AMD Radeon HD 6630M a video card. AMD Radeon HD 6630M video card with 1GB discrete memory, is a mid-range discrete graphics, performance slightly down from the AMD Radeon HD 6770M or NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M.

3DMark Vantage Entry in the test mode, Dell Inspiron 14R scores E13670, of which video card is divided into 16,411. But scores of video cards, AMD Radeon HD 6630M are also regarded as a capable of meeting the ordinary player has most need discrete graphics of the game, but comprehensive gaming notebook is currently sold in mainstream entertainment, 16,411 score is not particularly outstanding, slightly lower than the NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M, is far better than NVIDIA GeForce GT six thousand seven hundred and fifty-six thousand seven hundred and seventieths 555M or AMD Radeon HD GPU score.
PCMark Vantage test the overall performance of the results, total 7,063, overall performance is relatively good. But seen from the subproject, the hard disk of 3,508 3,825, single-channel memory, and games of 4,142 enough front-Dell Ling 14R Office performance is better on gaming entertainment properties.
If to zhiqian sale of Dai Erling more 14R (ins14rd-668) and today this paragraph front type version Dell Ling more 14R (ins14rd-758al) one by one comparison, on is easy see apart from processor of upgrade brings of operations speed of upgrade, front type version Dell Ling more 14R in performance Shang does no any of change, upgrade to aluminum alloy material fuselage and Waves MAxx Audio professional sound effects is for performance sent consumer, slightly explicit flashy.

Then take a look at Dell's official sales website, using the same configuration before Dai Erling 14R has quietly off the shelves, consumers have not purchased from the official website new generation core i5 processors match AMD Radeon HD 6630M discrete graphics of ordinary spirits 14R. Meanwhile, official sales of General Dell Ling more 14 notebook and may for color shell of Ling more 14R notebook also is tacit understanding of to video card by zhiqian of AMD Radeon HD 6630M reduced to has getting started level of AMD Radeon HD 6470M, move is reduced cost also is to set off front type version 14R by with of AMD Radeon HD 6630M author is not known, but as a more value performance of consumer is only left front type version 14R a select, Has always been focused on personalized and customized model Dell would inevitably do not can be confusing.

Dell Inspiron 14R version finally returned to the front on this position in high-end audio and video entertainment products, aluminum alloy material change no doubt can get a lot of fashionable young consumers of all ages, but if Lenovo Y470 with Lenovo Laptop battery and HP laptop battey HP Pavilion DV4 compete for high-end gaming notebook market, Dai Erling is the series or the need for more performance.

Low price business HP ProBook 4436s laptop profiling.

Low price business HP ProBook 4436s laptop profiling.
Distance mobile version Llano APU of publishing has past 3 months has, currently market Shang of mainstream entertainment notebook also are has under own of positioning publishing has carrying different a, Department APU of products, and after a time of test, a, Department APU of performance and characteristics also has full rendering in has members of before, price low, and performance bias graphics processing these characteristics are description APU more for main price advantage of entertainment this using. And it is based on the above reasons, so the positioning business application models are seldom seen on APU figure, however there are exceptions to everything, we're going to bring you reviews of the HP ProBook 4436s sword is a side product.
 

A APU features through integration combined with AMD discrete graphics GPU chip formation of hybrid crossfire, which improve product graphics purposes. This 4436s using A4-3300 to low-end acceleration processors in a APU, from following combination ratio table you can see after using Hybrid CrossFire technology, its new graphics processing units is named 6510G2 it.

Price has always been to APU models carried a big advantage, this 4436s is no exception, the machine attached to the HP ProBook series, the series notebook is mainly for small and medium business business people, is also a senior member of the business models. General entertainment models compared to such products have more comprehensive security, and also on the work and operations experience has incomparable advantages in the former, and often such as the low price of less than $ 4,000 on this product is difficult to appear. Together, let us take a look at the following characteristics of the product in terms of appearance, a comprehensive testing and for its overall performance.
 

Fuselage: between high safety factor and comfortable operation, convenient.
This 4436s in terms of appearance and 4431s using Intel processors to maintain a consistent, Silver metallic border and the top cover of the HP Logo is the only decorative element, elegant and design style as well as the Hale series models of classic styling and metal plus HP DuraFinish Super wear-resistant coating to ensure a higher level of physical security.

4436s for the user to configure a 16:9 14-inch matte screen, as the trend and application needs change, 16:9 screen ratio has also become the most characteristic of the next-generation business models. And entertainment model compared to the common mirror on screen, matte screen can be a better environment of complex light sources, and gives the user a better visual experience.
On the design of the keyboard, the machine uses the popular island at full size keyboard, in the upper right side of the keyboard area followed by QuickWeb two function keys and Wi-Fi shortcut. HP QuickWeb classic shortcut key-perfect enables instant connection and without waiting for the operating system to start, within 10 seconds will be able to successfully start access to the Internet, check your email, Internet telephony and many other features that enhance communications more rapid and convenient.

The machine provides users with 2 USB 2 interface, 2 USB3.0 interfaces, 1 HDMI connector, 1 VGA connection, 1 RJ45 (network cable) interface, 1-in-one card reader and 1 set of headphone/microphone jack. From the point of view of practical applications, whether it is from the type or quantity of these interfaces, are sufficient in practice to meet the vast majority of business application needs. (HP laptop battery)

Benchmarks: performance more inclined to entertainment applications.
This 4436s in the core hardware used by AMD A4-3300 APU match AMD Radeon HD 6470M video card combinations, A4-3300 released this year a of APU is in only entry level in the product.
From the test results, this 4436s of machine performance is low, all aspects of its performance have failed to reach the current average of the best selling models, where CPU performance is less half the average level. These test results also show that when the application is using the machine for all types of Office users need to pay a higher cost.
The machine used by the HD 6470M discrete graphics product to be issued this year AMD for entry-level applications, game performance is not good in itself, however, because the machine uses a APU and supports Hybrid CrossFire, so its only use products or HD6470 alone has some advantages. Tests, we selected several popular 3D games measured on the gaming performance. Includes both these games Street Fighter 4 run this platform requires games with high, also include lost planet 2 this has an higher demand for platform games.

In tests, in addition to the need for speed carbon 14 uses higher quality settings, the remaining 3 games are used in high end remix is set up. From screen frame number over 30FPS Shi game may implementation basic of smooth effect, and over 60FPS may makes game in run process in the smooth degree reached best of conditions view, this paragraph 4436s only in run load minimum of getting started level 3D game Shi can guarantee in higher picture quality Xia of smooth run, in face also set for in the high picture quality Xia of middle load 3D game Shi is cannot long time keep screen of coherence and smooth. Thereby we think the machines does not run higher load capacity of 3D gaming and face Resident Evil 5 such games can reduce picture quality way to assure basic game running smoothly on.

Analysis security: APU suitability in use on business book.
From the performance of different species arrangement models in terms of performance, the big core hardware of processor and video card on the whole comprehensive can play a vital role, and for business application-oriented model, and CPU performance is even more important. To this end, we have chosen several APU and several best selling Intel processor for the CPU performance was assessed, and in Cinebench R10 test scores as a benchmark produced the following figure. Cinebench R10 is a software that can test CPU performance, it can test the processor performance when performing a single threaded and multithreaded tasks.

By diagram can see, AMD push this year the APU (accelerated processor) during ordinary office as dependent on CPU in single thread performance doing well and although the A6 and A8 APU multithreaded performance better but also failed over Intel i3-2310M processor with lower position. This is the case, mainly because of differences in design concept and positioning as a result of because APU's biggest selling point is the better performance of integrated graphics and integrated graphics and AMD crossfire between discrete graphics combined to create more powerful GPU performance.
Although by Cinebench R10 results can help our single threaded multithreading capabilities of the processor for a general understanding of, but these processors in real-world everyday applications but what about in the environment? To this end we factories both in Photoshop CS3 as well as formats of common Office software as a tool for testing, on a variety of platforms has been tested using different processors. In testing experience, unless the measured platform uses the SSD solid state drives, or to the test pressure and not because the hard drive and memory specifications little differences and too much impact on the results.

From the time consuming comparison of these two tests can be seen in the figure, as we get software in the above test results, APU CPU performance with core I series processors do exist a great gap. In real life, although using the APU model also enables the user to make all kinds of ordinary office software, but the apparent gaps in the implementation of efficiency as compared to the former. This shows that although APU has advantages in price and graphics processing, but does in Office efficiency is less than the current mainstream business.

HP Battery life of up to 5 hours, temperature-control effect well.
In performance tests of endurance, we used the MobileMark 2007 Office application test link to verify it, the test could reflect a notebook at a lower load shown in the following Office applications battery life. In the figure below you can see, this 4436s of test results for 323 minutes, this show in the same position at the business application models in the medium level, can accommodate most users ' daily needs.

As a paragraph positioning business application of notebook for, carrying AMD A4-3300 APU of practices how many will makes its using who was some embarrassing, although the machine has metal fuselage, and fine work and fog surface screen, business this of characteristics, but weak of machine performance and in daily Office application aspects by performance out of low efficiency are indicates that, this paragraph HP ProBook 4436s does not for has high load Office demand of people using.

The 8460p HP top business evaluation.

The 8460p HP top business evaluation.

 In fact, not just an ordinary consumer notebook PC market with homogeneous hardware configuration problems, this trend has gradually spread in the business laptop open, how to find products to meet the selling and improve brand competitiveness, in the moment is is the most important test notebook manufacturers. Of course, the hardware is only one of the factors critical, design, operating experience and other factors also can not be ignored, these internal and external factors in the promotion of product evolution.HP business notebook from the most high-end of the EliteBook series has been the first to make a change, compared with the previous generation, updated after the HP EliteBook 8460p Notebook PC gives the feeling of a more elite fashion, while retaining the HP DuraCase all-metal structure at the same time, by military-grade standards (MIL-STD-810G) forging, provide a more robust security.Compared to the previous generation 8440p, HP EliteBook 8460p is more refined design, the use of the material is still on the top metal forging aluminum-magnesium alloy, with HP DuraCase all-metal structure, in the rugged nature of resistance is not lost on ThinkPad notebooks, and grinding process made available to users by adding more comfortable to the touch.


 Same design is also reflected in the screen, enhanced impact protection HP Display Safe technology to join, so this 14-inch screen can withstand greater impact than 80% of the force. Support ultra-high-definition display LED backlight technology in 1366 × 768 standard resolution to get a good display, and it has anti-glare function is not afraid of high intensity light, which in the sunlight the screen can be clearly identified display information.We are familiar with ThinkPad T series of the same, EliteBook series is the perfect blend of performance and portability of a full-featured notebook computer. Different from the 13-inch notebook experience by providing ultra-portable, 14-inch HP EliteBook 8460p can only be to maintain proper performance, while maximizing the user to meet the basic needs of mobile use, the value they provide to users is stable and efficient operation at the same time, taking into account safety, reliability.Cover from the body point of view, the details of changes in HP EliteBook 8460p is only two points, one is the top body portion for placement of internal antenna design, but the material still on the ABS plastic used for the wireless signal can be a good transceiver. Another change in the rear fuselage area of ​​the shaft, just like the overall design from the previous model to cylindrical.The entire screen panel also made minor adjustments, most notably the screen frame removed before the plastic pad independent design, instead changed to better dust-proof rubber ring, close the top cover is more effective when the blocking pad ring external dust from entering, but also to provide better compression performance. Snap the screen before the metal has become ABS plastic material, the design is also quite different, look closely you will find there before the screen snaps into molded cylindrical metal bar, and the bottom card in the mouth with foot pad the cancellation.In fact, the really big change from the entire keyboard area, familiar with the EliteBook series models of the users are aware, before the EliteBook 8440p keyboard with three-stage design, the upper part of a region that is the keyboard, the keyboard is a regional, palm Saratoga touch control board for a region. The new HP EliteBook 8460p keyboard area is canceled this design, integrated design using the popular, that is outside the top of the keyboard in addition to the keyboard, frame, integrated palm rest.Regional integration is not a simple keyboard design, careful observation you will find some of the metal frame using package plus scrub process, looks somewhat like the one piece of technology, this design is for the HP EliteBook 8460p is guaranteed there is sufficient fresh new product without losing the original professional.Shortcut keys, the HP EliteBook 8460p provides only three, located right above the keyboard, the function is still to achieve the wireless switch, a key to the Internet, the volume on / off. As for the other shortcuts, still rely on the Fn + F1-12 keys to open. In addition, the HP EliteBook 8460p also has a fingerprint recognition module.Touchpad design, in order to coordinate with the overall body color, HP EliteBook 8460p canceled before pure black design with a relatively light gray. Slightly different, plus the touch panel with a matte glass panel design, and feel comfortable with a soft plastic material left and right mouse buttons, as always, good control experience.HP EliteBook 8460p: Interface wide variety of new high-speed filling USB3.0.Objectively speaking, the interface type on the HP EliteBook 8460p does not change, but the interface layout has been adjusted slightly, such as DisplayPort interface moved from the fuselage on the left rear fuselage, the fuselage right side of the cooling holes are moved from the left side of the fuselage , in addition to upgrade the USB interface, so HP EliteBook 8460p has two USB 3.0 interface device to look forward to higher transmission rates.The biggest highlight of the left fuselage from the USB interface, USB3.0 interface for HP EliteBook 8460p has a higher data transmission capacity, and backward compatible with USB2.0. Another highlight is equipped with Blu-ray, but because there is no HDMI interface with the Blu-ray is just a gimmick, it is recommended to purchase the optional DVD drive can be ordinary.In addition to these interfaces, the HP EliteBook 8460p is the right rear of the fuselage there are interfaces, interface design, and here have not changed much, the only change is the interface position moves, more gratifying is the RJ45 interface to maintain the previous design, the position has not changed, the long-term indoor office for business people, this design is most conducive to maintaining a neat and tidy desktop.HP EliteBook 8460p: the whole heat / endurance to perform well.Although the thermal design is different from most business laptops, but on the whole heat situation, the performance of HP's EliteBook 8460p is very good. The measured results from the keyboard area can be seen, most contact with the user hand palm rest area with two key areas the heat is less than some normal human body temperature, this case also only feel warm continuous use, will not affect the user control experience.Equally good performance as well heat on the bottom of the fuselage, in addition to slightly higher temperature heat to 39 degrees Celsius module, the remaining part of the temperature lower than or the same as normal human body temperature, exposure to the summer when used on bare skin should not cause strong discomfort. Also worth mentioning is the body back expansion interface design, business people year-round indoor office through this interface an external docking station HP's business to get richer interface functions.Good thermal design will naturally get longer HP battery life, this laptop is almost an iron rule. But also because the reasons for specific user groups, business users in the acquisition of laptop battery more often care about whether to support longer use. HP EliteBook 8460p equipped with a six-cell randomized 55Wh lithium ion battery, tested under full load to achieve 321 minutes of usage time, according to real business users' habits, and keep the screen brightness lower energy state should be able to achieve all-weather use.HP EliteBook 8460p: i5-2520M + HD6470M more robust performance. (HP Laptop Batteries)gh-end appearance of selected materials, the hardware configuration on the HP EliteBook 8460p is also part of the higher-end commercial machine, the processor uses a i5-2520M, clocked in for the Turbo is not the case can reach 2.5GHz, with Intel Core Graphics can easily be measured beyond the entry-level performance models with significant independence.In order to better display performance, the HP EliteBook 8460p opposite direction, using the ATI Radeon HD 6470M graphics card, 1GB of memory for graphics processing on the machine the ability to be more at ease, even while we also see In the graphics card mode, Emirates is also close to the time 6 hours of mobility, this notebook is definitely in the commercial category of products belonging to the leader.PCMark Vantage provides a more user-friendly features and a key test desktop, mobile, workstation platform unified test scripts, test software is Windows-based system. PCMark Vantage can measure all types of PC's overall performance. From multimedia home entertainment system to the notebook, from professional workstations to high-end gaming platform, whether in the hands of professionals, or belonging to the ordinary user, can be understood through the PCMark Vantage system performance, the test can be divided into the processor test, graphical test, Test drive and memory tests.SYSmark 2007 Preview is a software platform for a variety of comprehensive performance testing of PC software, which can be used to actually install most of our daily realistic simulation software to run applications (word processing images, video playback, 3D performance, etc.), so its Test results for the office and entertainment applications are very true and accurate, has been recognized by the industry. VX7 average score good understandable.Evaluation room summary.Single design, the HP EliteBook 8460p design more sophisticated, fashion elements for a new preference for business people. But the whole style than the previous generation product HP EliteBook 8440p is a lack of heavy business atmosphere, people feel a little delicate at the same time some grandiose sense. Relative to the more fashionable business people, the conservative side of the business class people the hardest to accept is the chocolate keyboard, after all, than the previous generation product, the HP EliteBook 8460p in the sense of control, we should lose some.Hardware configuration, the processor was absolutely no critical, second-generation Core i5-2520M is definitely able to meet the everyday business user the complexity of the application. A little puzzling is the graphics card configuration, according to the previous product roadmap infer that this card should continue to use more professional NVS series graphics capabilities, but its use has HD6470M graphics, although the performance will be stronger, but the stability of the NVS graphics card compatibility is advertised for, HD6470M graphics seem to be more biased in favor of some entertainment.
