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

Last year, we evaluated Asustek Lingyao 14 2022 "Shadow Blue Glaze". The inspiration drawn from the non-heritage makes its design stand out from a large number of lightweight books. On the occasion of the launch of the new notebook in 2023, Asustek Lingyao 14 2023 flagship edition also arrived with the brand-new Hao Sha Jin / Pan Lime color matching. Not only the new color matching, performance and screen also ushered in a substantial upgrade, is the only 13-generation i9 standard pressure lightweight.

CTOnews.com got the i9-13900H + Haosha gold color Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version, and brought you a detailed picture and text evaluation, the following is a brief table of its configuration.

Design Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version of the overall fuselage design has not changed much, still use the all-metal fuselage, feel delicate not loose, the weight comes to about 1.5Kg, there is still a certain sense of weight. The body size is 321.8 x 225.6x 16.9mm (thin to), which is the standard 14.5in lightweight book size.

Side An is a very characteristic oblique texture design, irregular bright lines are decorated on the A side of Haosha Gold, exquisite workmanship makes the fuselage look like exquisite works of art, and the matte metal and bright metal shaft embellished with low-key Haosha gold.

Side B is the key part. In the past, Lingyao 14 was equipped with a 14.5in 2880 x 1800 90Hz OLED screen, and its look and feel was already excellent. Now the refresh rate of this screen has been further upgraded to 120Hz, and the excellent look and feel is even further.

The camera at the top of the screen is a FHD+IR camera, which supports Window Hello face unlocking. In addition, a variety of special features are provided for video conferencing. Next to the camera is a stereo microphone, which supports 3DNR noise reduction and AI noise reduction.

The C-side keyboard uses keys with ceramic design, supports three-stage backlight adjustment, and provides automatic backlight adjustment. We can see Intel Evo sticker in the lower left corner, which means it is also a high-performance business lightweight book certified by Intel Evo platform.

The lower trackpad is very smooth, and it is one of the smoothest touchpad I have ever used. It feels quite comfortable.

The D-side design has a foot pad, which can increase the air intake and has a better heat dissipation effect. There are two loudspeaker holes below to support Harman Catton tuning.

Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version of the machine has two full-speed lightning 4 ports (40Gbps supports PD fast charging and DP output), a USB-A 3.2Gen2 interface, a 3.5mm headphone port and a HDMI interface. The lightning interface can be connected to an external graphics card, with the powerful CPU performance of i9-13900H, which can meet more stringent games and work.

Asustek has been vigorously promoting the OLED screen since 2021, and put forward the "Asustek good screen" strategy. OLED screen has the advantages of accurate color, high brightness and uniformity, high contrast and good compatibility with HDR, so it is very suitable for creative designers. But large-size OLED screens are also expensive, and in the past they were usually used in creative design books worth more than 10,000 yuan. But in the past two years, Asustek has popularized OLED screens at all prices, and this pioneering spirit is commendable.

As we all know, the burning problem of OLED screen can not be eradicated, which has become a reason for many users not to choose OLED notebooks. However, Asustek has not only greatly alleviated the screen burning problem with some software and hardware technologies, such as:

1. Windows dark mode is adopted by default.

two。 By default, the screen dims after being idle for 5 minutes and the screen saver is activated.

3. Samsung OLED aging optimization technology intelligently detects aging pixels and enhances the current through those pixels. This allows degraded pixels to display brighter colors, thus showing accurate color perception.

In order to completely eliminate the worries of users, Asustek also launched a new policy: no worries for new ones. The bright spots on the screen can be changed free of charge within one month, and the residual shadow on the OLED screen within 2 years can be changed for free. Now you can rest assured to choose OLED.

Next, we will conduct a screen measurement. We set the screen to the highest 2880-1800 120Hz and manually set the maximum brightness under SDR. Then the color gamut accuracy test is carried out with the color calibrator, and the measured color gamut covers 100% sRGB, 96% Adobe RGB and 99.7% P3 gamut, and the color coverage is very extensive. No wonder it has passed the Pantone color certification.

Four professional gamut switching functions are also integrated in the system, which can switch between native, sRGB, DCI P3 and DisPlay P3.

If we switch to sRGB mode, the gamut will be reduced to a reasonable level. Many people think that the OLED screen is "too flashy" and just switch to sRGB mode.

We also tested the performance of the more professional DCI P3 color gamut, when the color gamut coverage will reach 99.6% DCI P3, the color gamut volume can also reach 104.8% DCI P3, the gamut reduction is very good, very accurate.

Every Asustek screen has been checked out of the factory, and Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version is no exception. Its color accuracy is also amazing, with an average Δ E of only 0.86 and a maximum of 2.08, which can be used for professional-level content creation.

Finally, I would like to mention the 120Hz refresh rate of the second update of Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version. As we all know, compared with 60Hz, 90Hz can greatly improve the fluency of web browsing, while 120Hz is not only more fluent, but also can meet the requirements of e-sports 's game level. Due to the characteristics of the OLED screen, it supports the rapid response of the fastest 0.2ms, which can take the lead in playing e-sports games like CSGO.

In order to show you intuitively the advantage of OLED screen response time, the author chose another 120Hz LCD screen to run UFO TEST at the same time as a comparison, set the shutter speed to the same, and then take a picture. As can be seen from the picture below, the relatively slow response LCD screen is easy to produce residual images around moving objects.

In contrast, the 120Hz OLED screen of Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version has no shadow at all, and the feeling is clear and smooth, which can bring better competitive state in the game and avoid the occurrence of 3D vertigo to some extent. For the daily office, it can also bring a smoother scrolling experience.

Hardware parsing in order to give you a deeper understanding of the hardware of this notebook, we directly take it apart and introduce it at the same time. After opening the back cover, we can see that the whole machine uses a single fan and double heat pipe heat dissipation system, because there is no unique display, so this heat dissipation space is still very sufficient. You can also see that there is a unique empty solder position on the left, which means it has a RTX 3050 unique version to choose from. Above the heat pipe is the on-board memory, with 32G 4800MHz LPDDR5 memory, no need to upgrade in one step.

Covered under this heat dissipation module is intel's brand-new i9-13900H processor, which is different from the general light and thin omnipotent P28 series quasi-standard pressure processor, this Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version directly uses a game-level H45 standard pressure processor, the performance will have a huge improvement.

Measured efficient mode order baking FPU 15 minutes CPU can be stable at 45W, 83 ℃, can meet the needs of H45 processor, and the fan sound is not noisy, suitable for daily office.

The whole machine has only one hard disk slot, so it will be troublesome to upgrade, but it can be removed and replaced. The hard disk carried is Magnesia 2450 Magnesia Magnesia TLC particles. If necessary, you can upgrade other PCIe 4.0 solid state.

At the bottom is a 70Wh battery, due to the 13-generation core's battery life has been greatly improved, coupled with the OLED screen compared to save power, I believe there will be a surprise in the follow-up battery test.

In theory, the previous generation of Lingyao 14 2022 uses the 12-generation Kuirui standard pressure P28 processor, this generation has been upgraded to the 13-generation core standard pressure H45 processor, so the performance must have been greatly improved. Next, let's take a look at its theoretical score. The first is CineBench R20, which represents the theoretical performance of CPU. Single-core score 759 points, multi-core score 6075 points; R23 single-core score 1958 points; single-round multicore score 15746 points; multi-core improved nearly 50%.

GPU is still 96EU full of blood Xe nuclear display, in the past few years, the nuclear display of intel has not changed. If you have a need for GPU performance, you can consider buying RTX version 3050. It is measured that the final score of this nuclear display in 3DMark TimeSpy is 1805 points. It is no problem to play online games after lowering the resolution of the first file.

The performance of the hard disk is as follows, and the 4K performance is very good.

The memory tests are as follows: the 4800MHz LPDDR5 memory frequency is very high; the read and write speed is improved a lot; however, the 13th generation core is more compatible with the memory frequency, and it is a pity that the Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version did not upgrade the memory frequency as well.

First of all, we use PCMark10 and CrossMark software to test its comprehensive office performance. The results showed that it scored 6461 and 2126 respectively, an increase of 20% Mel 50% over the previous generation, enough to cope with daily office and some creative production tasks.

Second, we use PugetBenchmark For PR to test its performance in video editing and special effects production. The results show that Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version scored 575 points in PR, and can handle 1080p video and simple special effects fluently even with nuclear display acceleration.

Finally, we use a continuous PCMark10 modern office life test to test its battery life. We turn on power-saving mode and adjust the screen brightness to 30%. The results showed that it lasted from 16:42 on the 23rd in the evening to 2:13 on the 24th, and finally lasted for nine hours and 30 minutes, meeting the light office needs of the day. This shows that the service life problem of the 12th generation core has been effectively solved in the 13th generation core. Even if there is not enough power outside, the Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version also provides the option of 5-20V wide voltage input and can share the charger with the mobile phone.

Online games test so in the office, Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version can play games? After all, it is equipped with 120Hz's high refresh rate screen, if you can run 120 frames in online games, you must have a very good experience.

Next, we use "CS:GO", "League of Legends" and "PUBG" three games to test. We set the resolution to 1920-1200 and turn on low image quality. The results show that "CS:GO" can run at an average of 181frames and can run all over the 120Hz screen.

"League of Legends" can run at about 155frames, and can also meet the requirements of playing more than 120frames. If you want to play a more stressful game, consider the option of Lightning 4 graphics card docking + a mid-range independent graphics card.

To sum up, from our experience today, the color matching of Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version has changed to a new style, and the touch is more gentle and moist. On the other hand, there are no small upgrades on the performance and screen that affect the user experience. It can be said that the current Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version is more practical and versatile.

If you are a business person who pays attention to appearance and office efficiency, then Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version will be a good choice. If you want to handle creative production work, or if you want to play games, consider a version of the RTX 3050 stand-alone graphics card. At present, Lingyao 14 2023 flagship version has opened an appointment, if you are interested, you can check it out.
