"In order to resist the counterattack of AMD ryzen, Intel finally bid farewell to the iterative strategy of" squeezing toothpaste ". Both desktop and mobile laptops have launched the multi-core strategy and controlled the high-end battlefield in the name of six core core. Taking the mobile terminal as an example, the new eighth generation core i5-8300h is enough to challenge the seventh generation core i7-7700hq, and the new eighth generation core i7-8750h even slightly exceeds the desktop level core i7-7700k!
Last month, Zhiqu dog shared with you the unpacking evaluation of the first batch of eight generation core game books listed - Raytheon 911 Black Ghost. Today, we want to experience the new product, Raytheon 911 air, a lightweight game book featuring "boundless vision", which inserts a 15.6-inch vision into a 14 inch product mold and controls the weight to 2.0kg.
Ultra narrow border makes "boundless horizon"
The biggest feature of Raytheon 911 air is to compress the left and right frames of the screen to 6mm, so as to achieve 82% of the ultra-high screen, and control the body length to about 361mm, which is basically the same as that of the 14 inch ordinary notebook in the past. At the same time, the heaviest part of the Thor 911 air body is only 23mm. Combined with the weight of 2.0kg, its portability is first-class in the game book with the same configuration and field of view.
It should be noted that the top frame of Raytheon 911 air screen still exceeds 10mm. The reason why this part is not compressed is to insert a front camera and matrix mic to facilitate users to use it for video chat and video conference.
Raytheon 911 air adopts IPS fog screen, which has no reflection problem and high viewing angle. The color gamut of this LCD is 45% NTSC, which is the mainstream standard in the game book at the same price. If you have higher requirements for color restoration, you can also consider the Raytheon 911 air E-sports version equipped with 72% NTSC color gamut and 144hz refresh rate screen (the memory is also upgraded to 16GB at the same time).
By the way, Raytheon 911 air supports SoundBlaster sound certification. You can set sound effects and headphones through app to obtain a more ideal audio-visual experience environment between square inches.
Let's look at the design and process details
Raytheon 911 air does not introduce the ID elements of predecessors' super running or space warships in its design. At first glance, it looks like a relatively thin large screen game book. But if we pay close attention to the details, it is not difficult to find the flash point of Thor 911 air.
Raytheon 911 air adopts an integrated top cover, which has a stronger overall feeling and better protection for the screen. At the same time, the top cover surface also uses the hair collision design, which brings together the hair lines of different areas in three directions, presenting a more three-dimensional visual effect.
It should be noted that although the top cover of Raytheon 911 air has a strong metal texture, its material is still composite, which only improves the visual grade of the product through special processes.
This time, Raytheon 911 also brought a newly designed logo, which is composed of two letters TR, which is the abbreviation of thunderobot, and the overall shape is also very similar to Raytheon's hammer.
The C-side of Raytheon 911 air is spliced by composite materials and metal sandblasting combined with anodized process cover plate. The parts of palm rest and fixed keyboard are integrated metal. The frosted surface has great hand feel and can also bring the unique cold touch of metal.
The top of the C-side keyboard is added with fine holes, where the Raytheon 911 air stereo speaker is hidden.
Raytheon 911 air adopts a triangular power key, and its interior is also hidden with a backlight, which can show a white backlight after power on.
Although the body length of Raytheon 911 air has been compressed a lot, it is still equipped with a full-size keyboard, with sufficient key cap area, key range and key distance. The parallel four-bar mechanism of "x structure" ensures the consistency of keyboard striking force to a great extent, with excellent striking feel and good mute effect. Through FN + spacebar, we can adjust the backlight brightness (2-segment brightness) at any time.
Raytheon 911 air distributes the interfaces evenly on both sides of the fuselage, and provides notebook keyhole, RJ45, usb3.1 GEN1 (actually USB3.0, with a speed of 5Gbps), audio interface and card reader on the left.
The right side of Raytheon 911 air is provided with usb3.1 GEN1 (supporting shutdown and charging), USB type-C, hdmi2.0 and power interface. Among them, the USB type-C of Raytheon 911 air supports usb3.1 Gen2 (real usb3.1, speed of 10Gbps), and is also compatible with dp1.2 output. With HDMI, it can easily build the ability of dual screen output and three screen display.
The Raytheon 911 air uses a one-line shaft design, which will cover the cooling vent at the back of the notebook to a certain extent.
Eight generations of core work together with gtx1050ti
The biggest feature of Raytheon 911 air in configuration is that it has been upgraded to the eighth generation core coffee lake-h platform. With the help of the latest 14nm + + technology, it has obtained a better energy consumption ratio. In translation, it allows the processor to maintain constant or lower energy consumption while improving performance.
The Raytheon 911 air obtained by Zhiqu dog is the "star version", which is equipped with core i7-8750h. This processor not only has the inherent advantage of 6 cores and 12 threads, but also the maximum core frequency acceleration frequency can reach 4.1ghz. Coupled with 9mb cache, the overall specification can make the top mobile CPUs such as the seventh generation core i7-7820hq envy and hate.
The Raytheon 911 air of starry sky version is also equipped with 8GB DDR4 memory, 128GB PCIe SSD and 1TB HDD Hard disk combination as standard, and armed with NVIDIA gtx1050 ti. This notebook also provides the "nebula version" of the eighth generation core i5-8300h + gtx1050 and the "offline version" of the core i7-8750h + gtx1050 ti. You can choose according to your budget and needs.
In terms of performance, the Raytheon 911 air performs quite well. The gtx1050 ti is unique enough to eat chicken smoothly under 1080p + high image quality (super high image quality occasionally gets stuck). If you pursue higher performance, you need to consider the more high-end models such as the Raytheon 911 Black Ghost, which are unique in the optional gtx1060 level. After all, the Raytheon 911 air is a product with light weight and sufficient performance, not a fever level game book.
Consideration of disassembly and heat dissipation
It is not very difficult to disassemble the Raytheon 911 air. After unscrewing all the screws on side D, you can remove the bottom cover and see the overall internal structure.
This product is equipped with a large 52wh battery, which belongs to a relatively high level in the game book with the same configuration.
Raytheon 911 air provides 2 memory sockets. In addition to the standard 8GB, we can upgrade to 8GB by ourselves × 2 or 16GB × 2. 16GB or even 32GB memory capacity.
Raytheon 911 air is equipped with 128GB PCIe SSD as standard. It is from Jianxing. The measured continuous reading speed is about 1500mb / s, which is three times that of SATA channel SSD.
The standard 1TB mechanical hard disk of Raytheon 911 air can be replaced and upgraded by children's shoes with higher capacity or speed in the future.
This product adopts the heat dissipation module design of double fans and three copper tubes, and is equipped with two sets of ultra-thin heat dissipation fins. This design is not too luxurious in this field of the game. If Raytheon 911 air can arrange the fans on both sides respectively, and add supporting cooling holes on both sides of the fuselage, it will be perfect to relieve the heat dissipation pressure by four groups of fins.
In aida64 + Furmark's long-time double copying machine test, the maximum temperature of the CPU and GPU of Raytheon 911 air reached 96 ° C and 84 ° C respectively. The good news is that at this time, the CPU did not reduce the frequency and still maintained the Rui frequency acceleration state of about 2.6GHz.
In the copying state, the main heating area of Raytheon 911 air on side C is concentrated in the Enter key and numeric keypad area, and the maximum temperature is about 44 ℃. The temperature of WASD key and palm rest, which are most in contact with fingers, is kept within 32 ℃. Therefore, the area in contact with our skin during the game can always be in a relatively "cool" state.
The author suggests that the children's shoes of Raytheon 911 air can be equipped with a cooling base with fan to improve the air circulation at the bottom to assist heat dissipation.
Summary
Before the launch of NVIDIA's new generation mobile graphics card, what the game can compete with is who can provide higher appearance and portability while arming the eighth generation core processor, so as to win the favor and attention of more players. The Raytheon 911 air is a new product starting from this. The 14 inch body obtains a 15.6-inch field of vision, and the weight of 2.0kg will not become a burden when going out. The combination of the eighth generation core and gtx1050 Ti can also ensure smooth chicken eating, and the starting price of less than 7000 yuan is also very sincere. Of course, if your budget is limited, in fact, the combined version of i5-8300h and gtx1050 can also be considered. This version has lower requirements for heat dissipation and can bring a cooler game environment.
