Unpopular portable notebook selection | Mechanical Revolution S1 experience

When it comes to the mechanical revolution, most of the users may be divided into two dials directly. One thinks about WTF, which is another ghost brand, and another user who usually pays more attention to the laptop circle will think, mechanical Revolution, you are not good at playing your game book, running to talk with your father Tsinghua Tongfang to grab the light business this is a few meanings.

As a domestic second-tier manufacturer, the mechanical revolution is similar to many other second-line platforms in the field of games, because the notebook circle has not been too big for a long time, but the game book in the market segment has become popular with e-sports. With a considerable market, many first-line brands have made efforts, and second-tier brands have a better entry point. The mechanical revolution was born under such circumstances. As for the behind, it is Tsinghua Tongfang, which is more Familiar brand.

Then let's take a look today. This player has always liked to play games with RGB marquee blessings. In the light of this first show, how will it bring some different features?

Main configuration:

CPU: i5 8250U

Graphics card: MX150 (Video Memory 2G)

Screen: 14" 1920x1080 72% NTSC color gamut coverage (native 8-bit color depth IPS panel)

Memory: 8GB (single DDR4@2400MHz)

Hard disk: 256GB SSD (supports NVme)

Price: 4599 yuan

In terms of configuration and price, the mechanical revolution S1's price/performance ratio is still good. The upgrade of the 8th generation Intel Core processor is large. Even the low-voltage version has 4 cores and 8 thread blessings. There is no problem in dealing with ordinary work. The same 8GB memory does not require more upgrades under normal working conditions, but it should be noted that the mechanical revolution S1 has only one memory slot, so there is no way to form a dual channel. To upgrade the memory, you need to use a larger single memory. In terms of its own price, it is not particularly recommended.

The 256GB SSD supports the NVme protocol, and the speed performance is good, but it belongs to OEM products, not a big name. In addition, the biggest highlight is that the mechanical revolution S1 uses the native 8-bit color depth panel, even if it is 72% NTSC color gamut coverage, it will be better than 6 A bit-jitter to 8-bit panel works better.

After a brief understanding of the configuration, you should talk about the actual experience. Xiaobian's current notebook main machine is Shenzhou Z7 SL7S3, i7 6700HQ+16GB memory + GTX970m. When buying, it mainly considers the occasional game play demand, its performance is actually Enough, not particularly bulky in the game, but after all, the weight of a single computer has reached 2.5kg, plus the 180W power adapter at least a pound more, after several trips on the business load, I finally It is decided to buy a light and thin book with good performance as a business emergency.

I am very satisfied with the weight, the single computer bare weight 1.2kg, plus the power adapter is 1.4kg slightly out, compared to the previous load almost directly halved, while the 50Wh battery can also provide a good battery life, in the actual use of small series In the process, it can last for more than 7 hours. Of course, because the CPU and GPU have separate heat dissipation, the power can be given more than the other 50Wh thin and light life may be slightly reduced.

The official nominal 3D size is 322*222*15.9mm (without foot pads), which is basically the same as our actual measurement results. Because of the design of three sides narrow frame, the 13.3 inch screen and the Dell 5370 without the narrow side design are Almost (323.9*219.9*17.55mm), the ordinary backpack can be easily accommodated, and travel will be more convenient.

After using the three-sided narrow border, the visual perception will be better. However, there is no way to position the camera in this nostril. Fortunately, it is not used at all. It can be sealed directly with tape. Students who are used to Windows Hello, You can use the fingerprint recognition in the upper left corner of the touchpad to open the verification. Here you need to spit it out. The area of ​​the touchpad, workmanship and feel are very general, you can also respond to the emergency, travel advice or bring a Bluetooth mouse.

The keyboard key cap area is relatively large, but the key stroke is general, and the hand feel is relatively soft. Generally speaking, it belongs to the general level of the thin and light. It can be used to use it. At least this article is the small series coded on the mechanical revolution S1. The keyboard is equipped with a white backlight, which is not the same as the RGB marquee style of the mechanical revolution. As office use, it will converge somewhat.

The side interface of the fuselage is quite rich in the thin and light version, equipped with two USB 3.1 interfaces, two Type-C interfaces (not supporting Thunderbolt 3), one HDMI interface and one 3.5mm audio interface, which is unfortunately two The USB ports are too close and sometimes affect each other. At the same time, the power socket is also an old round DC socket. It does not support Type-C interface charging.

The screen axis is tight, so although the screen end is designed with small protrusions that are easy to open and close, it does not support one-handed opening and closing. The screen can be expanded to 180° horizontally, and there are certain usage scenarios in some special scenes. However, Xiaobian has not encountered it yet.

It is also necessary to explain that the one around the power supply is actually a cooling air vent instead of a speaker opening. The speaker opening of the machine is actually in front of the D surface. The sound quality is generally normal, and it basically belongs to the sounding state.

At the same time, we can also see that the intersection of C and D faces, the seam is more obvious, yes, the mechanical revolution S1 is not integrally formed by CNC cutting, in order to avoid the seam on the C surface that affects the look and feel, the C surface as a whole Bending downwards, hiding the seams on the D side. In general, the metal material is slightly worse than the CNC cutting machine, and the ultra-light weight also makes the sheet thinner and less rigid.

On the whole, the mechanical revolution S1 basically meets the purchase requirements of Xiaobian itself, good performance plus lightweight weight and a good screen, plus memory and SSD specifications are also good, is a ready to use In the process of using the computer without secondary upgrade, in addition to the lack of texture of the A-side metal wire drawing and the touchpad feel is too bad, in fact, other parts can be said to be satisfied, users who have similar needs with me can also consider.

Because of the positioning, the second-line notebook brand can often provide higher configuration at a lower price. Simply speaking, it is more cost-effective, so there are often some models that are worth recommending, after all, except for the special Apple and Microsoft. It is recognized that Lenovo, Asus, Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and Acer are the first-line players. Even Shenzhou and MSI can only be regarded as 1.5-line players. The reason is that they are repairing, after-sales and other products. The difference is.

So if you don't care about this aspect, or you can easily get some common problems, then the second-line brand is also a good choice. Buying a notebook like this, the satisfaction of your own needs should be above the brand. I hope everyone can also buy a product that is more suitable for them.
