IT168 evaluation Today's notebook makers seem to have turned thin and light as a display of capital, whether it is Apple's new-generation 12-inch MacBook, HP's Spectre Specter, or ASUS's latest launch of the Lingya 3 ultra-thin notebook computer, all shouting to the world. "I am light, I'm cool, I'm a cow X" slogan, light and thin seems to have become synonymous with black technology, technological innovation, accompanied by the growth and creation of today's PC makers ; and once almost all people once almost admired a concept of "thin And performance can not have both," has been hit by notebook manufacturers numerous times.

What kind of technological innovation does the notebook manufacturer bring about? At the same time, what kind of convenience do we get as ordinary users? What sacrifices will we make at the same time as we pursue light and thin? Today, we through the Asus Ling Yao 3 ultra-thin notebook seven-day trial evaluation to show everyone the advantages and disadvantages of thin and light notebooks, an ultra-thin, high-value fashion portable in the end is not suitable for you? Let's uncover the answer below.
Before starting today’s formal evaluation, let’s think first. What is the lightness you need? Through the seven-day trial, Xiao Bian first summed up the feelings during the trial process, and the advantages and disadvantages of this 12.6-inch ultra-thin notebook with a weight of 910g.
Trial experience:
advantage:
1, the first is a very convenient one -handed opening and closing : before not getting the machine also worried that because of thin and can not open and close with one hand, after all, one-handed opening and closing can be said to be the most common point in today's users daily;
2, followed by smaller than the A4 paper ultra-thin body: the machine's body is not only light, but also smaller than the size, not as good as a A4 paper, readily inserting a briefcase is a very simple thing;
3, than the 12-inch MacBook easy to use too much key process design : This notebook's comparison product than the new 12-inch MacBook, experienced MacBook's friends will issue "This Nima can use it?" Below, this 12.5-inch ultra-thin notebook is still very easy to use. The deeper keystrokes and resilience are also available. As a 910g all-metal notebook, ASUS Lingyao 3 is a portable notebook with a good keyboard experience.
4, i5-7200U more than 7 hours long life: thin and light performance can be said to be the common features sought by today's light and thin, from the perspective of actual experience, the overall life time is about 7 hours or more, and from the specific test We also got the same conclusion in China;
5, fast-start fingerprint recognition module : ASUS Ling Yao 3 this time using the fingerprint recognition module is located in the upper right corner of the touchpad, after opening the top cover you can see, unlock it is also very convenient, and have to say is that The fingerprint module is full of three-dimensional design, it seems that the actual touch of the bulge is indeed depressed downward;
6, micro-border keyboard design : Compared to the micro-frame screen design, micro-border keyboard design is another eye-catching point, to improve the size of the keycap while greatly enhancing the value of the face;
7, four speaker unit module: In order to provide better sound effects, ASUS Ling Yao 3 uses a combination of four speaker units, respectively, located directly above the keyboard and the D-side left and right corners;
insufficient:
7, heat or still needs to be improved : this form of light and thin the heat is always the biggest problem, even if you have special cooling principle of cattle X, at the same time, this kind of light and thin this person likes to use on the leg , so used Friends will be able to instantly understand Xiaobian's words, continue to heat hot thighs have wood! However, I still have to say that this thin heat dissipation is very good for ASUS Lingyao 3;
8, the screen is still a bit small : as a main mobile portable thin, this product is only suitable for short-term mobile office, living entertainment, long-term office or need a larger screen size notebook, after all, the eyes still need protected;
9. Finally, there is almost no interface design : Although all manufacturers will preach that "ultra-light docking station will not bring a burden," everyone knows that this lightness is not convenient for some people (in the personal use process It is often forgotten to carry a docking station. However, as Xiao Bian began, there is always some sacrifice behind the light and thin.
Purchase summary:
The lack of three points in ASUS Ling Yao 3 can be said to be a common problem in today's ultra-thin and light-weight books. This kind of main trial group is more than the business people who are on business trips, which greatly reduces the weight during the air travel, and it is necessary to buy a notebook for business trips. The aircraft is undoubtedly one of the best choices for all portables today. The performance is strong enough and the weight is light enough.
New Chinese Name: Condensation Enhancement Increases Recognition
As we all know, at the Taipei Computer Show, ASUS Ling Yao 3, Ling Huan 3, and Ling Huan 3Pro, three new products have appeared in the world, but at the time did not call the name, when the name is still continuing the ASUS ZEN series notebook The naming methods of the products are: ZenBook 3, ZenPad 3, and ZenPad 3 Pro. So why did the Asus will be presented to Chinese consumers with a brand new Chinese name at this China conference?
To this end, Asustek said: “The reason for the name change was the market reaction to us. In the past we used English names, but channels gave me feedback and it was difficult for users to resonate. This is why we want to name them in Chinese. It is the feedback of the market side.Asustek has its own layout in each product line, each product has its own position, like Lingyao is smart, beautiful, shining, represents a taste, is a high quality The pursuit of Linghuan series continues to pursue the ultimate, constantly breaking and seeking new opportunities and new values."
In fact, not only Asus, but also some other PC makers recently added new Chinese names. This naming approach is not only to enable Chinese users to better identify, but also to summarize the series of notebooks in the most concise terms. The essence of the spirit, Ling Yao and Ling Huan these two words think about it feel full of spirit.
Classic Concentric Circles: Three Color Matching Textures
I do not know when to start, Asus will fall in love with the concentric design, each classic flagship is always indispensable to this design, ASUS Ling Yao 3 is the case. ASUS Ling Yao 3 has three color combinations, namely royal blue, rose gold and quartz gray , this time we are testing the machine's rose gold version, but also most girls, even boys are preferred color.
The A surface of ASUS Ling Yao 3 can be said to be full of texture. The four types with slight downward slope make the whole of the machine look very delicate.
ASUS Ling Yao 3's body is very small, an A4 white paper can be able to cover it, this small believe that everyone who sees the real machine will fall in love with it, readily put briefcase is a very easy Things.
910g Weight: Lighter than 12-inch Apple
From the side, we can hardly feel the thickness of ASUS Ling Yao 3, which is as thin as two pieces of paper.
ASUS Ling Yao 3 uses a 12.5-inch 1080P Full HD screen, than the size of the 12-inch new MacBook machine is slightly larger, but the weight of the whole is lighter than the former, ASUS Ling Yao 3 light to 910g, than the 12-inch new The MacBook is also lighter than the 10g, and it's quite light in the hand. Even the girls can easily hold it with two fingers.
82% of Screens: Beyond XPS Micro-Border Screen
Open the A side, we can see is a 12.5-inch 1080P full HD display with a narrow frame design, visual effects are more prominent, but used to seeing the micro-border design of the partner will not feel too amazing, but the delicacy is certain . ASUS Ling Yao 3 screens accounted for as high as 82%, even higher than the originator of the micro-frame design Dell - XPS 13 screen accounted for 81.3%, but this difference is still invisible to the naked eye.
The webcam is integrated directly above the screen
0.8mm key range: 100 times better than Apple's key range
Compared with the micro-frame design screen, it is even more appealing that this same keyboard with a micro-frame design uses the same rose gold color scheme as the A surface. The borders on both sides of the keyboard are almost negligible. Increase; At the same time, the use of micro-border keyboard design so that the size of the keyboard keys greatly increased, so that the 12.5-inch body has a keyboard size of about 14 inches, greatly reducing the occurrence of finger touch and other phenomena.
In terms of key depth, ASUS Lingyao 3 has a key size of 0.8mm, while the 12-inch new MacBook only has a key size of 0.4mm, which makes the latter key rebound almost felt, it seems like Lenovo's latest launch The Yoga Book has no sense of pressure, and the overall percussion experience is completely absent. A little longer typing will feel pain in the palm of your hand.
Compared to the 12-inch new MacBook, ASUS Ling Yao 3's key process feel is relatively comfortable and a lot of, 0.8mm key process so that the machine's overall experience dumped a few streets, do not look at the difference between the key process size only 0.4mm, but This is crucial, and the 0.8mm key range is sufficient to meet basic typing needs such as light office. After all, the aircraft is positioned as a "business-only book."
Four speaker units: Sound effects really like!
Located right above the keyboard and on both sides of the speaker unit
The speaker unit is located directly on the left and right sides of the D plane
In order to provide users with excellent sound effects, ASUS Ling Yao 3 and HarmanKardon in-depth cooperation, the use of four groups of speaker unit module, respectively, located on the left and right sides of the keyboard and just below the D surface right and left sides, four speaker unit make The machine's sound effects are very realistic and have a very good stereo surround effect, as if it were placed in music or games.
Harman Kardon is a world-class top-level audio manufacturing specialist with the famous brands JBL, Becker, AKG, Infinity, Mark Levinson, Lexicon, Revel and Studer, both in the home, automotive and professional audio fields. Mankadun is at the forefront of the era.
Fingerprint recognition module: three-dimensional design
We can see that the fingerprint recognition module of ASUS Lingyao 3 is located in the upper right corner of the touchpad. After opening the top cover of the body A, it can be easily opened and closed. This fingerprint recognition module has a high sensitivity and can quickly open the notebook.
At the same time, it is worth mentioning that the fingerprint module uses a very unique design, and it looks like the convex visual effect is depressed downwards.
Streamlined to no interface design: optional docking station
USB 3.1 type-C interface
Headphone jack
ASUS Ling Yao 3 provides consumers with two different specifications of the docking station
i7-7200U: CPU over i7-6500U
Intel 7th Generation processor ID in the lower left corner of the keyboard
First we use the CPU-Z to test the i5-6200U processor. We can see that the processor still kills the i7-4558U.
Next, we use the CineBench R15 version to test the CPU performance of this machine . CineBench is a very convincing set of CPU and graphics test systems, the latest is the R15 version. Compared to up to 16 cores in the R11.5 version, the R15 version can support up to 256 logic cores. In addition, this version also enhances the investigation of shaders, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights, and reflection blur, as well as CPU performance. The test is more accurate.
We use the CineBench R15 to compare the performance of the i5-7200U processor and the HD 620 core.
We tested it twice with CineBench R15 to ensure the correctness of the test results: The first picture shows the first time.
Second CPU test result
Comparing the results from the CPU, the performance of the i5-7200U processor is higher than that of the i7-6500U. This shows that the performance of the seventh-generation Kabylake core architecture is not as unremarkable as the legend, and the overall processing performance is still very obvious. .
HD 620: Nuclear Exceeded GTX 960M
From OpenGL's comparison results, the HD 620 has exceeded the GTX 960M even more. This performance enhancement was something we could not have imagined, and it is also unmatched by the performance of the previous HD 520. The performance of the GTX 960M exceeds that of the entry-level gaming. You don't need to use NVDIA's discrete graphics card. You only need to check it out. This will make Xiaobian have to guess that this is Intel and NVDIA's "joint conspiracy." HD 620, GTX 1050, GTX 1060, GTX 1070, and GTX 1080 are the future. It has dominated the mainstream graphics configuration of the PC industry for some time.
512G SSD: High Speed ​​Transmission of 300M/S
The 512G SSD is arguably the largest SSD capacity on the market so far. Although numerous vendors have already exposed or sold notebooks with 1TB SSD, the overall shipment of this notebook is still very small, due to the production cost and technology. Constraints, 512G SSD will still be the mainstream for a period of time. After all, whether it is capacity or speed is enough.
At the end of the day, the score of PC mark: 5352 is already quite high for this thin and light, and the performance of the i5-7200U+HD 620 is still very strong.
Thermal design: this kind of heat dissipation is so good
Because of the thinness of the ASUS Lingyao 3 in the temperature and pressure test will inevitably appear CPU and graphics card downclocking and other phenomena, so the temperature and pressure test, or baking machine test is meaningless, this heat test is a small series of trial 7 The thermal performance felt by Tianlai days, although some people feel subjective, but Xiao Bian will do its best to objectively describe the thermal performance of the aircraft.
First, we first look at the machine's cooling air inlet, located in the middle of the D plane on both sides.
The heat-dissipating air outlet is located at the hinge, which is a common design style of many light and thin today.
Heat dissipation description: At the same time we tested the hardware performance of the test software, we experienced the specific heat dissipation of ASUS Lingyao 3. Directly above the D plane and near the middle of the keyboard position and the middle of the keyboard is still very hot, which makes us more sure of this Is the machine's heat outlet; but we have to say that this machine is directly above the keyboard's round mouth is not a heat vent, just to decorate the speaker unit round hole, forming a more eye-pleasing overall; At the same time, the keyboard and the palm rest still have no heat, and when placed on a table, if you do not deliberately touch the outlet, you will not feel any heat.
A liquid crystal polymer fan blade having a thickness of only about 0.3 mm, and a copper alloy heat pipe having a wall thickness of only about 0.1 mm.
In daily use, or in the beginning of the article, Xiao Bian mentioned that when the aircraft is used on the leg, it can still feel the temperature, and the experience of using it on the leg for a long time is still uncomfortable, especially In the summer if you have thighs. But have to say that the overall cooling performance of the aircraft can still be satisfactory, this kind of cooling is very good for a laptop that is so thin and light.
Life test: more than 6 hours is enough
We use the PC mark 8 work environment to test the aircraft life. From the above test time point of view, the aircraft continued working life of more than 6 hours, and if it is in a home environment, life time will be longer. However, 6 hours of continuous working time is sufficient for people who travel frequently.
Evaluation summary:
ASUS Ling Yao 3 as a business travel light is an excellent choice, low price version (i5-7200U) 8499 price is also very good, and booking will be reduced by 500, so the price of 7999 yuan can buy To such an exquisite high-performance thin and light, it is really good enough. We have to say that the current light and light book is really easy to use for people who travel frequently! And if you want to use its long-term company office, then still forget, after all, the screen is small.
