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

Last year, we experienced the Asustek Lingyao X13, which impressed me with its extremely frivolous design and excellent battery life. This year, the Lingyao series has updated a product that focuses on the extreme lightness and long endurance-Lingyao 13 2023. Its processor is upgraded to i7-1355U and has passed Intel's Evo platform certification.

CTOnews.com has received the Asustek Lingyao 13 2023 with polar gray color, and brings you a picture and text review.

The appearance of a hand Lingyao 13 2023, you can feel its astonishing frivolity. The body of BWH is 296.2x216.5mm x 10.9mm (thin to) and weighs only about 1kg. It feels almost like a tablet. It's really amazing.

Although light and thin, but for the sake of texture and strength, Lingyao 13 2023 still uses a metal fuselage, and this is not ordinary metal, is a new plasma ceramic metal material. The so-called plasma ceramic metal material is a metal material formed by melting crystallization and oxidation on the surface of aluminum alloy by plasma reaction. It not only has the tactile appearance of stone grain, but also has higher hardness, better wear resistance, corrosion resistance and better metal thermal insulation.

Face An is a very designed oblique texture design, symbolizing the bright color lines of the Lingyao series of large A Logo dotted on the micro-frosted surface A, making the fuselage look like an exquisite handicraft.

Side B, is a 13.3in 2880 x 1800 60Hz OLED screen, using RGB Stripe sub-pixel arrangement without PPI damage, screen ratio as high as 85%, coupled with the unique pivot design, the chin will be further hidden, the front view is almost full of screens, the impression is quite shocking.

The OLED screen on the laptop has the advantages of bright color, high contrast, fast response and good HDR compatibility. This screen on Lingyao 13 2023 also has similar advantages. We will test it in detail in the screen test session later.

There are cameras, sensors and stereo microphones at the top of the screen. The camera supports real-time background visualization and other functions. Mac also supports Windows Hello face unlocking. The microphone supports AI noise reduction.

C-side keyboard uses a strong sense of integration of the pure black keyboard area design, the power key is located in the upper right corner, the key range is regular, and supports three levels of backlight adjustment.

The area of the trackpad below is very large, and the glass material feels smooth.

We can see the Intel Evo platform certification sticker in the lower left corner. The lightweight books with this sticker have all passed Intel's rigorous test, and there is no need to worry about the comprehensive experience.

On the D side, we can see Asustek's unique rotating shaft design. After lifting the fuselage will stand on tiptoe, enhance heat dissipation, hide the chin, enhance the keyboard feel, it can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

Many notebooks that pursue extreme frivolity will shrink in terms of interface, and there are also many people who keep only two C ports. Lingyao 13 2023 is not only equipped with two lightning 4 ports, but also provides a standard size HDMI2.1 interface and a 1x USB-A 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps and a 3.5mm headphone hole, which can fully meet the daily office needs.

Asustek good screen measurement mentioned earlier, thanks to the comprehensive popularization of OLED's "Asustek good screen" strategy. The screen quality of Lingyao 13 2023 is excellent. Next, let's test this screen. We adjust the screen to the highest 2880mm 1800 and manually adjust the brightness to the highest 400nits (HDR peak 600nits) under SDR. Then the color gamut accuracy test is carried out with the color calibrator, and the measured color gamut covers 100% sRGB, 95.4% Adobe RGB and 98.9% P3 gamut in the default mode, and the color coverage is very comprehensive, but sRGB will have some out-of-limit problems. If you are used to the LCD screen, you will feel too bright when you get used to the 167.8% sRGB gamut volume.

But don't worry too much, like other notebooks with Asus good screen, Lingyao 13 2023 also integrates four professional color gamut switching functions in the system, which can switch between native, sRGB, DCI-P3 and DisPlay P3.

If we switch to sRGB mode, the color gamut will be reduced to very close to the standard 100% sRGB, the color gamut volume will also be reduced, at this time the look and feel will be quite accurate, will no longer be rich, more suitable for use in Windows.

If you need to create or appreciate the content of DCI-P3 wide color gamut, you can turn on DCI-P3 mode. After turning on DCI-P3 mode, this screen will adjust the color gamut coverage to 99.3% DCI-P3 color gamut, and adjust the color gamut volume to 105.9% DCI-P3. It can be said that the limit is quite accurate, which is very suitable for creating wide color gamut content.

The final DisPlay P3 mode is the most accurate mode. Each Asustek screen has been checked out of the factory, the measured average Δ E is only 0.51, and the maximum Δ E is only 1.61, which is more accurate than most lightweight books and is suitable for audio-visual office.

When it comes to OLED screen, there is no way to get around the problem of screen burning. Screen burning is an objective problem of 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 opening the taskbar automatic hiding and viewing angle focus function, so that the background is constantly changing, which can greatly delay screen burning. In order to make everyone feel more at ease to use the OLED Asus good screen, Asustek launched the Asustek OLED Care service to support the Asustek good screen "worry-free replacement". There are bright spots in 1 month and free renewal in 2 years.

At the beginning of the theoretical run, we mentioned that our Lingyao 13 is the i7-1355U version, the 13th generation Core focuses on optimizing energy efficiency performance, and the U series processors are inherently low power consumption, which makes the author look forward to its battery life and performance. Thanks to the 13-generation core hybrid architecture, it has 2 performance cores and 8 energy-efficient cores, with a total of 10 cores and 12 threads, which is an excellent level in lightweight books.

So how much performance can this small body carry? We did a single-baked FPU with AIDA64 to simulate the maximum pressure. In the long-term baking machine, it can also stabilize the performance release at 25W, the highest temperature is about 80 ℃, and the temperature is not very high, the performance far exceeds the author's expectations for light and thin books.

Next, let's take a look at its theoretical score. First, the CPU-Z running score is carried out, the measured single-core running score is 747 points, and the multi-core running score is 4649 points. This score is basically at the same level as the i5-12400 desktop processor. But don't forget that the i5-12400 can consume 80W, while the i7-1355U only 25W, which is an amazing energy-efficiency ratio.

The first is CineBench R20, which represents the theoretical performance of CPU. The running scores of single core, multi-core, R23, single-core and multi-core are 720,3333, 1858 and 8647 respectively, which can reach the level of desktop i5.

GPU is the Xe nuclear display of 96EU. In 3DMark TimeSpy, the final score of 1615 points, this generation of nuclear display is still no improvement, but Intel core video codec ability is quite excellent, it is easy to use to watch video clips.

The hard disk is Meguiar's PCIe4.0 hard disk, which has excellent performance and can be replaced and upgraded by itself if necessary.

The memory test is as follows: the LPDDR5 memory of the onboard 5200MHz performs well in read and write speed, which has a certain improvement compared with last year's 4800MHz, and has a certain advantage in the release of kernel display performance.

Productivity as the main office book, let's first test the BenchMark of some productivity software. The first is PCMark10, which represents comprehensive office performance. With a score of 5861, it is easy to deal with most office scenes.

In the emerging integrated running score software CrossMark, the running score reached 1720, which can also meet the needs of most offices and some creative production.

In the video editing software PugetBenchmark For PR, which is commonly used by creative workers, Lingyao 13 has a score of 2023. It can be seen that Intel's nuclear display acceleration is still dust-free, and there is nothing wrong with this 1080p video clip.

Endurance is also a link that the majority of white-collar workers are very concerned about. So CTOnews.com also tested its battery life for you. We choose the PCMark10 modern office battery test, turn on the power-saving mode, and adjust the screen brightness to 50%. Measured for 13 hours and 38 minutes, compared with the 12-generation core, the improvement is very significant. This service life can cope with a light office during the day. Even if there is no power, you can use a general mobile phone charger to quickly return blood.

From the above productivity software test results, we can see that Lingyao 13 2023 can cope with the vast majority of mainstream office scenarios, and it can also bring a lasting experience when you go out. As soon as the business group is stuffed into the briefcase, you can rest assured to go out to work.

Game testing, then after work, can it run some mainstream online games? We also tested the mainstream e-sports game. The following tests are carried out at 2.8K native resolution and low image quality. The measured "CS:GO" running BenchMark can run at 92 frames, so it is easy to play smoothly.

In League of Legends, the alignment can be maintained at around 120 frames, and the experience is also very good.

Conclusion: the light and thin books in recent years, more and more like to put standard pressure processors inside, and then the products are often heavier and heavier. And in Lingyao 13 2023, we found the original heart of this product line. Is the extreme light, is the extreme thin, is the extreme texture. At the same time, it does not compromise on the rigidity of the fuselage, interface expansion and core performance. It is a business lightweight book that can be repaired both inside and outside.

If you belong to a business office group that needs to have a rigid need for portability and appearance, then Lingyao 13 2023 would be a good choice. If you are interested, you can go to the major platforms to buy.
