As soon as the Spring Festival in 2024 passes, major manufacturers will immediately begin to output at high intensity, from mobile phones to computers, and in the next period of time, poor friends will be able to see all kinds of evaluations.
Naturally, our group of ** teachers can't be idle, business trips, unboxing, and the product Tony got this time is one of the first devices we will evaluate after the Spring Festival in 2024.
This computer is also an old friend that everyone is very familiar with - Lenovo Xiaoxin, and it is a 2024 model equipped with a new generation of AMD processors.
For such a thin and light laptop that has been battle-hardened at the price of 5,000 yuan, how to defend this battleground in 2024 is still a very challenging thing.
However, after using it for a while, I think Lenovo Xiaoxin's answer is very simple, first give you an ancestral provincial conclusion: Xiaoxin has AI blessing on the basis of the existing advantages of thin and light books, 2Features such as an 8K high-quality screen and a large 84Wh battery for long battery life have once again consolidated their position as thin and light laptops at this price point.
According to the traditional assessment process, I should first show everyone what the new look looks like with the new logo, but what age are they still doing traditional assessments? So this time, I'm going to tell you about its performance first.
This time, the 24 Xiaoxin models are equipped with a new generation of AMD Ryzen 7 8845H processors, and the previously praised Radeon 780M is not only retained, but also adds independent NPU computing power this time, which is now the popular AI execution unit.
But many people are tired of hearing abbreviations such as AI, AIPC and NPU, but they haven't seen many examples of practical applications...
I thought so at the beginning, so this time I really hope that Xiaoxin can do a good job and show you what the NPU computing power actually looks like.
And guess what? I really found it...
After a cordial conversation with my Lenovo friends, they sent me a software installation package called "gamepp game plus".
This game plus plus,You can understand it as a domestic data monitoring software,And it's very feature-rich.,It can be said that all the functions that should be sewn on。
What frame counts, temperatures, memory footprint, hard drives, in-game monitoring, performance statistics, etc., etc., are all basic exercises for it.
I'm going.,Co-authored this is a deluxe version of the afterburner ah...
And in the game Gaga, there is a capture function called "Super Moment", which can intelligently capture wonderful moments through AI, and can also produce videos with one click.
And this feature uses the NPU part of the AMD processor and does not consume GPU performance.
You can play the game and leave the capture to the AI.
Currently, this feature is available for Naraka: Infinite, Valorant, and The Finals by enabling the AMD processor-specific NPU mode in the feature options.
If I had told you about AIPC six months ago, let alone you, even I would have thought it was too far away.
However, it is as if without the 4G of the past, there would be no taxi, takeout, and live broadcast today.
And if we look at it again after half a year, "automatically recording game highlights" may just be a very common feature on the laptop.
This is just a small feature of Lenovo Xiaoxin to make AI landing, and as subsequent manufacturers continue to adapt and optimize, AI can handle more things, which also makes me look forward to the future of laptops.
Of course, the premise for AI to be able to record highlight moments is that the performance itself is good enough, which has to mention AMD's radeon 780M GPU.
It is said to be a nuclear display, but under the test of our editorial department and various digital bloggers, it is already fully capable of all kinds of online games and large-scale games.
Nowadays, thin and light books,Playing games is a completely feasible and even a little easy thing。。。
For example, in the performance test of "Cyberpunk 2077", Xiaoxin was in 1080p full low image quality and turned on FSR 21 Super Performance, has run an average frame rate of more than 60 frames.
Running a popular game "Phantom Beast Palu" some time ago, the average frame rate of low quality can also reach 70.
In your spare time, you can drive Valorant and easily dry up to 160 fps in full low-quality 1200p resolution.
Of course, we also ran Cinebench R23 as usual, single-core 1803 multi-core 16614, which is also completely expected standard ending.
In 3D Mark's Time Spy test, Xiaoxin's GPU also ran to more than 2800 points, steadily surpassing the score of the 1050Ti graphics card.
Alas, those six letters, I'm tired of saying ...
If you're not enough, the memory frequency of Xiaoxin will be OTA to 7500MHz UHF in the future...
For example, the little new machine in my hand that has just been updated to test the BIOS, a proper 7500.
After talking about the progress in performance, let's go back and talk about Xiaoxin's appearance.
Xiaoxin has two appearances of gray and blue this time, and the whole is relatively simple and fashionable, and this is a gray model for men, women and children in Tony's hand.
The two corners of the fuselage are the ancestral Lenovo logo and the Lenovo Xiaoxin 10th anniversary exclusive icon, which will indeed make it easier for people to visually find that this is a **laptop.
The side is designed with a vertical edge cut, and the overall body is clean and neat.
In addition, Tony personally likes one thing,That is, Xiaoxin's interface is very rich.,I won't cut the interface because it's a thin and light book.。
Two USB-C, two USB-A, one HDMI and one SD card reader, and the most advanced 35mm headphone jack, which is quite luxurious for a thin and light notebook...
The keyboard and trackpad are the classic style of Lenovo, and they still taste good to use, but the keyboard has an additional Microsoft Copilot AI assistant button, which is also the first time in nearly 30 years that a Windows computer has added keys.
Just press this thing, you can quickly access the AI service of Windows, which is a combination of AI assistant and PC.
In addition, I have to mention that this OLED screen is called "SSR super good screen".
2.8K resolution is now the basis for thin and light laptops, but Xiaoxin also has a 120Hz refresh rate, as well as up to 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and a peak brightness of about 600nits.
For users who have creative needs, this screen will not be bad to use.
But one of Tony's favorite things is that it has a peak brightness of 600nits, so it rightfully supports Windows HDR.
You can really see the difference at a glance, whether it's watching a movie or playing a game, HDR can improve the picture quality with one click.
For example, if I turn on Netflix, the HD logo on it will change to premium HDR, and with Dolby Atmos, I can start watching these bells and whistles movies.
At the top of the screen is a 1080p HD smart camera, but it's not the camera itself that attracts me, it's the physical switch.
If you're worried about privacy leaks, just cover the camera and you're done, unpretentious but very easy to use.
As for Xiaoxin's built-in fan adjustment, Lenovo computer manager and other traditional arts, I won't be too verbose about these, and there should be a lot of one.
There is also a large 84wh battery paired with this original white 100W GaN charger, which further enhances the battery life and charging experience.
So in fact, looking at it this way, everyone will find that Xiaoxin's upgrade this time focuses on a steady progress.
Stable refers to sticking to one's own positioning, retaining the existing functions and features, and not doing inexplicable knife techniques.
What is in the finger is that the function does not fall behind,For example, the thin and light person has a high-resolution screen,Xiaoxin has arranged it this time,There are also quite versatile and rich interfaces,Let Xiaoxin's expansibility be quite good。
Even AI, which is now on the cusp of the storm, has been mastered by Xiaoxin, giving full play to the performance of the NPU part of the AMD processor, and has begun to tap the potential of AI and come up with new ways to play.
Or how to say that Lenovo understands computers too well,Xiaoxin's configuration、** and positioning are quite accurate,As long as you are a student party with a budget of five or six thousand yuan、Creative users or people who have requirements for portability and performance,Then it's really difficult to bypass the choice of Xiaoxin。。。
By the way, Xiaoxin's storage combination this time is 32GB + 1TB, which can fully meet the work and study needs of most people.
Alas, my desktop three years ago was only 16GB, and now the thin and light laptop is directly 32GB, and the times have really changed...
