Commercial notebook computer is a category of notebook that we often use, but seldom learn about in detail. When it comes to commercial notebooks, people think most of Lenovo's ThinkPad series. ThinkPad focuses on professionalism and stability, while Lenovo actually has a notebook brand with both innovative vitality and commercial customization-Zhaoyang.

Zhaoyang, as the first commercial notebook brand in China, occupies the top two places in China's government and enterprise market share of commercial notebooks together with ThinkPad.

Zhaoyang announced a brand-new brand upgrade this year, positioning products in a more innovative and dynamic commercial market, younger in appearance and design, mainly for daily office, mobile office, conference and other organizational use scenes. As a commercial notebook brand, Zhaoyang also provides a large number of customizable projects in service to meet the bulk procurement needs of the vast majority of political and educational enterprises.

At present, the new main product line of Zhaoyang is divided into X3 / X5 / X7, both of which are available in two sizes:

Zhaoyang X7-14 Universe 16Mui-High Energy flagship

Zhaoyang X3-14 hand 15Mui-getting started with value

Recently, IT House has received the latest release of the Lenovo Zhaoyang X3-14, which continues the previously steady black design and upgrades the processor to the 13th generation of low-voltage core processors. Thanks to the huge performance improvement of the 12th and 13th generation core, as well as the popularity of high-capacity solid state drives, the new Zhaoyang daily office is quite smooth. In addition, Zhaoyang is committed to 800000 hours of trouble-free operation of quality assurance and full life cycle service. In this article, let's take a look at the performance of this notebook.

Simple design Zhaoyang X3-14 fuselage adopts business classic obsidian black color matching, for plastic material, the surface has been treated by IMR technology, it is still very textured, and it is not easy to be stained with fingerprints. Lenovo does have a lot of experience in making the appearance of commercial computers. The fuselage BWH is a long 324mm x 215mm x 19.9mm and weighs about 1.43Kg. It is a standard 14-inch light and thin body and is a convenient specification for commuting.

A side design is very low-key, is a simple pure black, the lower right corner of the Lenovo iconic silver nameplate, the look and feel mature and stable.

The B side is a 14-inch anti-glare screen with a screen ratio of 88%, with a resolution of 1920 to 1080 and a brightness of about 350nit. We use a color calibrator to test the gamut color accuracy, and the measured gamut covers 55.4% of the sRGB.

There is also a mystery at the top of the screen, which provides a good 720p camera and dual noise reduction microphones to meet the privacy needs of people with commercial office needs. At the same time, the camera also has a physical anti-peep pick design to fully protect privacy.

The screen supports up to 180 °opening and closing, which facilitates sharing screen content with customers and reduces the probability of machine damage caused by accidental bending.

C face key plate is a classic association layout, feel good, the lower touchpad area is regular.

There is a foot pad design on the D side, and a long strip-covered hinge can increase the air intake when opened.

The Zhaoyang X3-14 machine has 1 full-function USB-C 3.2 interface (supporting PD fast charging and DP output), 2 USB-An interfaces, 1 3.5mm headset 2-in-1 interface, 1 HDMI interface and a foldable RJ45 standard cable network port. Provide DC power interface to praise, users can choose between DC power interface and PD charging.

It is worth mentioning that Lenovo also provides USB control function in its Chinese BIOS. For some highly sensitive enterprises and institutions, you can choose this way to prohibit data outflow and prevent viruses.

Take the lead in upgrading the 13th generation of Core, quietly enjoy efficient office, then let's go into the dismantling link and take a look at its internal hardware materials. As can be seen from the figure below, the core part is Intel 13 generation i5-1335U low-voltage processor, so it only needs a single fan and single heat pipe pressing, so it seems that the overall design is more quiet.

The 13th generation Intel ®Core ™processor is a stable and efficient business partner. The Zhaoyang X5-14 is equipped with the 13th generation Intel ®Core ™i5 processor, uses U series processors, and benefits from the hybrid architecture of the 13th generation Intel ®Core ™processor. The performance is greatly improved, up to 10 cores, and the enhanced Intel hardware thread scheduler makes it easier to multitask in the daily office.

Choose a high-performance lightweight book to identify the 13th generation Intel ®Core ™processor

The 13th generation kurui focuses on optimizing energy efficiency performance, and the U series processor is inherently low power consumption, which makes the author look forward to its battery life performance and performance. Thanks to the 13-generation kurui hybrid architecture, i5-1335U 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.

In the FPU part of the roaster, we can see the differences in the design of Zhaoyang X3-14. Nowadays, the mainstream of the market is to sacrifice noise and surface temperature to bring higher performance. The Zhaoyang X3-14 is a commercial computer built for the office, so the performance release is fixed at about 24W, when the CPU temperature is only about 65 ℃, and the noise is well controlled. It can be said that this power scheme not only meets the requirements of the 13th generation of low voltage i5, but also takes into account the office experience.

Next, let's take a look at its theoretical score. The first is the CPU-Z test, which represents the theoretical performance of CPU. The measured single-core score is 694.3 and the multi-core score is 4691.8. This score is quite close to that of i5-12400 desktop processors. But don't forget that the actual power consumption of the i5-12400 is about 80-100W, while our i5-1335U is only 24W, so the energy-efficiency of this generation of low-voltage core processors is amazing.

The first is CineBench R20, which represents the theoretical performance of CPU. The running scores of single core, multi-core, R23 and multi-core are 660,3179, 1724 and 8427, respectively, which can reach the level of the previous generation of desktop i5, especially the single-core performance.

In terms of nuclear display, i5-1335U is equipped with Xe nuclear display of 80EU. In 3DMark TimeSpy, the final score is 984. It is worth mentioning that the video codec ability of Intel Kernel is quite excellent, and it is easy to use to watch video clips.

The hard disk is Meguiar's PCIe3.0*4 hard drive, and its capacity is directly given to 1T, which must be praised. The size is 2242 in length and extended to 2280 in length with an extension plate. If the enterprise has the demand, it can also easily expand on its own.

The measured performance of this hard disk is very excellent, and the fluency of daily use is also guaranteed.

In terms of memory, it uses a single DDR4 memory slot with a capacity of 16G and a frequency of 2933MHz. Most of the uses of this computer are light office work, as long as the capacity is large enough.

Strong core performance, full of productivity as a light book for the main office, let's first test the BenchMark of some productivity software to see how its daily office capacity is. The first is PCMark10, which represents comprehensive office performance. With a score of 5245, it is easy to deal with most of the daily office scenes.

In the emerging integrated running score software CrossMark, the running score reached 1527, which can also meet the needs of most offices and some simple creative production.

In view of the main function of this kind of computer, the Office three-piece set, we tested the modern office test of ULProcyon. From the following results, we can see that most common operations can achieve fast response, and the performance of commercial notebooks can no longer be compared with each other.

In PugetBenchmark For PR, a video editing software commonly used by creative workers, the score of Zhaoyang X3-14 is 219. The score is not high, but thanks to the acceleration of Intel Xe, there is no problem with editing 1080p videos.

It is also easy to deal with some simple graphic design. The measured PugetBenchmark For PS score is 666, and there is no pressure to revise the picture.

Battery life is also a very important part of business notebooks. The version we have is equipped with 45Wh batteries, and then IT House will test its battery life. We choose the PCMark10 modern office battery test, turn on the power-saving mode, and adjust the screen brightness to 50%. Measured for 10 hours and 5 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 cell phone charger that supports the PD protocol to return blood quickly. Therefore, Zhaoyang X3-14 can also be easily qualified for mobile office scenarios.

If the requirements for battery life are not so high, then the Zhaoyang X3-14 also offers an optional 38Wh battery version, which is smaller but provides 2.5-inch HDD hard drive support. HDD hard disk has larger storage capacity at the same price, and data is easier to recover than SSD. For some enterprises and institutions that have strict requirements for data security and stability, 2.5in mechanical hard disk is still irreplaceable.

AI supports smart office experience to meet the needs of commercial scenarios, not only strong hardware, but also corresponding software to do supporting. Zhaoyang's new products are built-in "Lenovo Intelligent Conference Assistant" software, which can use AI technology to achieve voice-text conversion, try translation records and other functions, greatly improve office efficiency.

The author first tried its real-time translation function and found that whether it is the sound made in the loudspeaker or the sound spoken in the microphone, it can be translated in real time, and the speed and quality of translation are quite high, even if it is a large number of proper nouns. It can also be translated quickly, which is undoubtedly of great help to transnational conferences.

In addition, Lenovo's intelligent conference assistant can also use this translucent subtitle mode, which can not only facilitate video calls during online meetings, but also be used to watch TV dramas.

After the end of the real-time translation, the Lenovo intelligent conference assistant will save the entire recording and translation with a timestamp to facilitate later collation and proofreading.

In addition to real-time translation, it also provides voice input function. If we set the input and output to Chinese, we can achieve the effect of the speech input method. The author found that its recognition accuracy is very good, when you need to enter a large number of text, you might as well try Lenovo intelligent conference assistant this built-in App.

Multi-dimensional customized services to meet the individual needs of enterprises, the biggest feature of business notebooks is that SKU is not fixed, as long as enterprises have needs, they can provide a wealth of custom options. For example, our Zhaoyang X3-14 provides customized services in appearance, CPU, memory, hard disk, battery, screen and software.

The first is CPU, the Zhaoyang X3-14 offers six Intel 12th and 13th generation low-voltage processors to choose from. For mild office scenarios, you only need to choose the minimum i3 to be used smoothly, and if you have performance requirements, consider i7. If there is a need for battery life, the author recommends the 13th generation Coorui version because it focuses on optimizing the energy consumption performance under low load.

In terms of storage, the Zhaoyang X3-14 provides 8G to 32G memory options, and the hard disk provides a rich range of 256g to 1T options, or you can choose 256g SSD as the system disk and 1T HDD as the data disk.

In terms of screen, you can also choose a more economical TN screen or a higher brightness and higher visual angle IPS screen, all starting from the needs of the enterprise.

Finally, the battery also has two modes to choose from. The 38Wh mode battery is small, but provides additional HDD installation location. 45Wh mode provides longer battery life.

In addition to the above pre-sales customized services, Lenovo also provides a wealth of after-sales commercial services, such as maintenance, upgrading, expansion and asset disposal. For companies involving sensitive data, Lenovo also provides services that hard drives and other major components are not recycled, handing over parts that may be leaked to users for their own custody to fully protect customer privacy.

Summary: the main purchasing groups in Zhaoyang are the procurement of enterprises and institutions. For this kind of demand, compared with the exquisite appearance, what is more important is stability and durability, easy maintenance, strong security and good after-sales service. The Zhaoyang X3-14 we tested today obviously meets the above requirements.
