If you talk about the design trend of game books for 18 years, then there are definitely related design elements such as lightweight, narrow borders, and eight generations of Core Duo. However, there are few products with the above characteristics in the current market. In this context, Lenovo rescues. As a first-line game brand familiar to players, the company launched the new generation of Lenovo saver Y7000 game book with three narrow borders, faith lighting effects, and eight generations of standard pressure processors, bringing the latest design concepts to mainstream prices. Among products.

First, product appearance and design style

In terms of appearance, Lenovo saver Y7000 changed the design style of the traditional game book, innovatively added LED backlight 'Y' brand logo on the A side, with exquisite concentric circular ornamentation, highlighting a strong game color.

The savior Y7000 has a body thickness of 23.9mm, weighs only 2.3kg, and has a 180° screen opening and closing angle. This flexible body is relatively rare in the same price game.

On the screen, the savior Y7000 is equipped with a 15.6-inch anti-glare IPS display with a resolution of 1920×1080, a 6.7mm ultra-slim three-sided frame, and a screen share of up to 84%. With the design of the front-advanced screen axis, the screen is maximized. Closer to the player, brings more stunning visual effects.

This new product is also equipped with a narrow-frame full-size red backlit keyboard, ergonomic curved keycaps, which can give gamers a comfortable control experience. At the same time, the complete numeric keypad, the standard size of the arrow keys, also gives the player a game. Brought greater freedom.

In addition, the Savior Y7000 uses the TSI dual fan design, the reverse rotation fan design can effectively reduce the noise, with the 4-way air outlet design, can also take more heat.

It is worth mentioning that Lenovo's saver Y7000 rears most of the I/O interfaces, allowing players to organize wires and bring a cleaner desktop. And the interface is as rich as ever (Type-C×1, MiNiDP×1, USB 3.1×3, HDMI 2.0×1, network cable interface×1), can meet the daily expansion needs of players.

Second, hardware configuration and performance

In terms of hardware configuration, Lenovo Saver Y7000 is equipped with Intel® CoreTM i7-8750H processor, NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti (4GB), 8GB RAM, and 128GB NVMe PCIe SSD+2TB HDD hard disk combination.

● Intel® CoreTM i7-8750H processor

The processor of the Lenovo Savior Y7000 is Intel® CoreTM i7-8750H (basic frequency: 2.20GHz, maximum core frequency: 4.10GHz, cache: 9MB), six cores and twelve threads, and TDP is 45W.

Compared with the previous generation, the performance of the new Coffee Lake architecture's eight-generation Core processor is very obvious. The results of the processor performance test (CINEBENCH R15) can also be seen, the Lenovo Saver Y7000 equipped with the i7-8750H processor ( Multi-core: 1247cb, single core: 178cb), far superior to the previous generation i7-7700HQ processor (multi-core: 736cb, single core: 159cb) in performance, even more than the i7-7700K processor in multi-core performance.

● NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti (4GB) alone

The evaluation prototype is equipped with a NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 Ti (4GB) graphics card to meet the needs of most gamers (Time Spy: 2569, Fire Strike Extreme: 3636), and according to Lenovo staff, a higher level graphics card and screen. Configure the product will be launched later.

Graphics performance test

● 8GB RAM and 128GB NVMe PCIe SSD+2TB HDD.

In terms of storage devices, Lenovo Saver Y7000 uses 8GB of memory and 128GB of NVMe PCIe SSD+2TB HDD, which is the mainstream storage configuration in the same price range. In the SSD test (CrystalDiskMark), the continuous read speed of this SSD is 2552.4. MB/s, sustained write speed of 757.7MB/s, the overall performance is very good, about five times that of ordinary SATA SSDs, and the combination of dual hard disks can also provide players with more storage space while speeding up.

● Comprehensive performance theory test

Third, popular game test

In order to learn more about the actual game performance of Lenovo saver Y7000, we selected several games such as "The Jedi Living", "Assassin's Creed: Origins", and "Tomb Raider: Rising".

● Jedi Survival (PUBG)

Resolution: 1920×1080

Vertical sync: off

Game Settings: Medium/High

During the testing process, we selected 50 frames in medium/high quality as the sampling results. In medium quality, the average number of frames in the game is 62.84 FPS (Max: 71FPS, Min: 54FPS), high quality The average number of frames is 47.38 FPS (Max: 61FPS, Min: 38FPS). Theoretically, both images can be operated normally. However, the effects of medium-quality games are smoother.

● Assassin's Creed Origins

Resolution: 1920×1080

Vertical sync: off

Game Settings: Low/Medium

In the sampling result of 50 frames under different image quality (low/medium), the average number of low-quality frames is 53.16 FPS (Max: 58FPS, Min: 47FPS), and the average number of frames in the intermediate image quality is 45.26 FPS (Max). : 49FPS, Min: 42FPS), from the performance evaluation results, the medium quality can be stable.

●"Rise of The Tomb Raider"

Resolution: 1920×1080

Vertical sync: off

Game Settings: Medium/High

In a plurality of game scenarios, the maximum number of running frames under medium quality is 81 FPS, the lowest is 43 FPS, and the average number of frames is 55.1 FPS; the average number of frames under high quality is 47.76 FPS (Max: 60 FPS, Min: 37 FPS), So smooth running without any problems.

Fourth, cooling performance and evaluation summary

● Thermal performance

In addition to the above, thermal performance is also an important indicator in the evaluation of the game. We conducted a full load test on the Lenovo Saver Y7000 (Test prototype). The initial conditions for the test are as follows:

Test Tools: AIDA64, FurMark, Room Temperature: 28°C, CPU Load: 100%, Test Time: >1 Hour

AIDA64 and FurMark are two commonly used copying tools. AIDA64 can test the heat dissipation ability of the product through the system stability test and provide real-time update voltage. The temperature can monitor the thermal performance of the product. FurMark It is through the fur rendering algorithm to measure the performance of the graphics card. At the same time, it can also test the stability of the graphics card. We will use this software to double-fire the machine. It is worth mentioning that during the actual use, the use of long-term high loads is relatively rare, so the temperature in the test results is usually not reached.

The test prototype continued to run for 1 hour, 13 minutes and 33 seconds under the full CPU load until the CPU temperature was stable.

In the image generated by the infrared thermometer, it can be seen that at room temperature 27.3°C, the high temperature area is mainly concentrated in the middle of the keyboard (the maximum temperature is 50.0°C, the average value is 42.9°C), and the temperature in the palm rest is moderate (31°C). (left and right). Overall, the C-side temperature performance is modest and has little effect on the actual gaming experience.

● Product configuration and running information

● Evaluation summary

As the latest product of the Lenovo Savior series, the Savior Y7000's new design language (three-sided narrow border, faith logo, 180° opening angle, I/O interface rear, etc.) is impressive, which is in the mainstream products of the same price. It is relatively rare. In terms of configuration, the latest eight-generation Core processor + GTX 1050 Ti alone hardware combination, can also meet the needs of ordinary players, with new design elements, I believe can give players a different game Experience.
