Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

Whenever we look up at the starry sky, we are full of unknown curiosity about the universe, and China's exploration of the boundless starry sky has never stopped. In order to pay tribute to the great Chinese space industry, Asustek recently launched the a bean 14 Pro space joint model-Phantom Starry Color matching.

CTOnews.com has also received the Aldou 14 Pro Mirage Star 160512G version. In this article, we will take a look at its unique appearance and performance.

Appearance design: co-named Star Sky, unconventional. The appearance of the a dou 14 Pro aerospace joint model basically follows the design style of the a dou series, but there are quite a lot of design details. Space coordinate elements plus exquisite nickel black logo highlights the quality of science and technology, the feel is delicate and warm. At the same time, the gradual color matching of blue, purple and black brings a sense of space-like fantasy. It is quite a design to display the mysterious sense of light in space on the A side like a nebula.

The maximum opening and closing angle can reach 180 degrees. The rotating shaft is protected by foot pads, and the fuselage can be raised to enhance heat dissipation.

After unfolding the B side, there is a whole piece of 2.8K+90Hz OLED screen covered under the glass mirror. Asustek is a veteran of OLED screen, so even if the price is more than 4000, you should use such an ultra-high-quality OLED screen.

At the top of the screen is a stereo microphone and a camera with a physical anti-peep mask design.

The C-plane keyboard uses a unique blue-orange jump color design, which is a common color matching in China's aerospace industry, showing a kind of spacecraft-like romance. The transparent A key on the left appears to be the finishing touch, the typing feel is comfortable, the feedback is moderate, and the power key is made into the keyboard to distinguish the feel.

There is also a very interesting detail, all the keycaps are decorated with rivets, with the exception of five keys: C, H, I, N, A, the four letters of CASE are written in the four corners of these five keys. Asustek uses this interesting little colored egg to pay tribute to China's space industry.

The 5.9-inch trackpad at the bottom is large, smooth and feels great, with a fingerprint recognition module integrated in the upper right corner.

The back cover of side D is also full of eggs. The "42" in the lower right corner is the inclination between the Chinese space station and the earth. The string of letters on the left is the creed of China's manned spaceflight. It seems that the joint name of Asustek and China Aerospace is really very careful this time.

Rich expansion interfaces are built into the fuselage. The whole machine has one USB-C interface (PD charging is not supported), one HDMI interface, two USB-A 3.25Gbps interfaces and one USB-A 2.0interface.

Screen: star-studded, bright and delicate OLED screen has the advantages of accurate color, high and uniform brightness, high contrast, good compatibility with HDR, and is very friendly to creative designers. But large OLED screens are also expensive, and after nearly two years of unremitting efforts by Asustek, OLED screens began to appear on more than 3000 ultra-low-cost notebooks. And Asustek a dou 14 Pro this time is the combination of high resolution, high refresh rate, to create such a look and feel of a good screen.

In order to meet the needs of color gamut in different scenes, the color gamut switching function is provided in MyASUS Asustek PC manager, which can be switched manually between native, sRGB, DCI P3 and DisPlay P3.

We adjust the screen to the highest 2.8K 90Hz, and manually adjust the brightness to the highest 400nits (HDR peak 600nits) under SDR, and then use the color calibrator to test the gamut color accuracy. In the measured native mode, the color gamut covers almost 100% of the sRGB,94.9% Adobe RGB and 99.5% of the P3 color gamut, which is excellent and can fully meet the requirements of professional design.

We also tested the color performance after manually switching to the DCI P3 color gamut. The measured color gamut covers 100% sRGB, 84.7% Adobe RGB and 99.8% DCI P3 color gamut, and the color gamut volume is also reduced. We can see that Asustek has indeed done targeted color management, and this screen has been able to modify the P3 wide color gamut.

The performance of color accuracy is good. We tested in DCI P3 mode and found that the average color offset Δ E 0.94, the maximum Δ E 2.25, small color deviation and small color difference, which is a professional performance.

Everyone agrees with the color performance of OLED, but many consumers may worry about the two stubborn diseases that OLED may have-eye injuries and screen burning. To solve the eye injury problem, the Adou 14 Pro screen supports full brightness DC dimming in HDR mode, so there is no worry of strobe eye injury when used.

Screen burning is an objective problem in OLED. In order to reduce the impact of this part, Asustek uses some software methods to avoid it, such as default black theme, automatic pixel offset and screen saver. At the same time, daily use suggests turning on the taskbar automatic hiding and viewing angle focus function, so that the background is constantly changing, which can greatly delay screen burning.

Ample hardware layout, storage can be fully upgraded in order to let everyone have a more in-depth understanding of the hardware of this notebook, we directly take it apart and introduce it at the same time. As can be seen from opening the back cover, the ice front heat dissipation system with single fan and double heat pipes can well suppress the heating problem of the core hardware.

Covered under this heat dissipation module is intel's brand-new i5-12500H processor, which is different from the general light and thin omnipotent one that uses the P28 series of low-power processors. A Dou 14 Pro directly uses a game-level 12-generation Kurei H45 processor, which will obviously have better performance. I5-12500H adopts the latest hybrid architecture design of 12 generations of Core, upgrading directly from the previous generation of 4 cores to 4 large cores and 8 small cores, with a total of 12 cores and 16 threads. Rui frequency can reach 4.5GHz, and three-level cache 18MB. The built-in nuclear display is the 80EU Rui Torch Xe nuclear display, which can well complete some video clips, light entertainment and other needs.

According to the actual measurement, the 15-minute baking FPU CPU in efficient mode can stabilize at about 50W and 86 ℃, which can give full play to the performance of i5-12500H and have a surplus of 5W.

The left area of the heat pipe is the memory, with 8G board + 8G slot, the frequency is 3200Mhz, in this volume is very rare to provide expansion space, this should be praised.

The whole machine has only one hard disk slot, if you need to upgrade, you can buy a larger one, and then migrate the data. The hard disk is Hynix's OEM hard disk, TLC particles, the speed performance is good, the specific running points are as follows.

At the bottom is a 70Wh battery, which is quite large in a 14-inch laptop. Due to the excellent power control of the whole machine, coupled with the power saving of the OLED screen, it is believed that there will be a good performance in the follow-up flight test.

CPU performance greatly improved, entry online games casually play, then we will take a look at its theoretical running scores and practical experience. In the CINEBENCH R23, which represents the theoretical performance of the processor, the single-core score is 1720 and the multi-core score is 12376. This year, the performance of the 12-generation Kerry processor has improved greatly, of which the i5-12500H is the most significant improvement in the mainstream price.

In the PCMARK10 that shows the daily office performance, the score of a bean 14 Pro is 5528, which can meet the vast majority of daily office needs.

CrossMark, which represents comprehensive office performance, has a comprehensive score of 1518, which can also meet the needs of office production.

It is a pity that the i5-12500H Xe core shows a limited improvement compared to the 11th generation core, with the operation unit of 80EU, the performance of about MX250 unique level, can meet the needs of simple online games.

Under this configuration, there is no problem for us to play competitive online games. In the game test, we set the game to 1200p low picture quality mode. In "League of Legends" can easily run around 140150 frames, running all over the 90Hz screen is not a problem, the experience is great.

To configure a more demanding "CS:GO", we need to lower the screen setting to 1920-1200 resolution and low quality, run BenchMark to an average of 84 frames, and run 90 frames in most scenes. Because the response speed of the OLED screen is fast and the delay is low, the effect of using it to play shooting games is particularly good.

Finally, let's test the more stressed "PUBG". The average frame at 1200p is about 47 frames. If you want to run 60 frames, you may need to reduce the rendering rate.

Of course, Adou 14 Pro is mainly targeted at daily office and creative production, so we also tested common software such as PS, PR, Blender and V-Ray, which are commonly used in creative production. In the PS software, performance certainly will not become a bottleneck, the measured score reached 774 points, can smoothly carry out most of the revision and mapping work.

In the video editing software PugetBenchMark For Pr, Adou 14 Pro scored 312 points, which is suitable for editing 1080p small videos.

In the modeling and rendering software, we tested the popular open source modeling software Blender in recent years. The score is as follows. The mixed architecture of i5-12500H makes it have good results.

In another commonly used modeling tool, V-Ray, the rendering speed can reach 6919 points, which can withstand the pressure of basic modeling rendering work.

Finally, let's test the endurance performance of a dou 14 Pro. We turn on 50% brightness + power-saving mode, conduct PCMark10 modern office test, and test it until it shuts down automatically to see how long it can last. In fact, it lasted about 8 hours and 24 minutes, thanks to its large 70Wh battery.

Conclusion: it is romantic for everyone to look up at the starry sky with both emotion and practicality, and the aerospace industry is also the pride of each of our countrymen, while the Asustek a dou 14 Pro aerospace joint model shows us this sublimity in various details. Nowadays, joint products are everywhere, but few of them resonate strongly like the a dou 14 Pro aerospace joint model.

Although the joint intention, but the premium is not much, a bean 14 Pro i5-12500H+2.8K OLED version of the pre-price of 4799, aerospace joint version of the pre-price is 4999. If you are passionate about China's aerospace industry, or like unique designs, then the 200 yuan premium I think is worth it. In addition, the purchase of the machine is also accompanied by a Phantom Star Space suit, including a backpack, mouse pad, key chain, etc., if you are interested, you might as well go to the e-commerce platform to learn about it.
