Large area trackpad makes mobile office more convenient

When the editor first got it, he did not find Lenovo”s new Pro 13 standard AMD Ryzen version of the power button on the C side of the fuselage. After a search, it was found that Lenovo placed the power button on the side of the fuselage. At the same time, Lenovo integrates facial recognition on the frame of the B side of the fuselage, opens the cover of the computer to boot, and logs in the account through facial recognition after booting. This kind of design is very clever, but users need a certain amount of time to learn and adapt to it.

16:10 vs 3:2: Who is the sharp weapon of the office?

It is said that the eye is the window of the soul, but in the face of poor screen, it will always hurt this window. In the daily office, the use of low-end screen for a long time will lead to eye dryness, swelling, leading to eye fatigue, thus aggravating eye problems. A few years ago, the middle and low-end notebook products were mostly equipped with low-quality screens, not only the display effect was not good enough, but also led to many problems when used for a long time.

But don’t worry about the, HUAWEI MateBook 13 AMD Ryzen version and the Lenovo new Pro 13 standard pressure AMD Ryzen version both equipped with high-quality screens.

Among them, Lenovo’s new Pro 13 standard pressure AMD Ryzen screen uses four-sided micro-frame technology, so that the screen aspect ratio reaches 16% 10, and the screen occupancy ratio reaches 90%. The screen uses a IPS screen with a high color gamut and a wide viewing angle, with a resolution of 2560×1600 and a sRGB color gamut of 100%. The display is more delicate and the color restoration is more accurate. And the screen has passed the German Rheinland low Blu-ray certification to reduce the damage of the screen to the eyes. In an outdoor environment, Xiaoxin Pro 13 has a brightness of 300nits, and can see the screen clearly even in strong light.

HUAWEI MateBook 13 AMD Ryzen version uses a comprehensive screen design, so that a smaller body can have a larger display area. The screen aspect ratio is 3Drex2. Compared with the commonly used 16:9 screen aspect ratio notebook products in the market, no matter in web browsing, photo browsing, video browsing and other scenes, it can achieve no white space on the screen and maximize the screen display.

In terms of screen quality, the, HUAWEI MateBook 13 Ruilong version uses a IPS screen with a resolution of 2160×1440, a 100% sRGB wide color gamut and a contrast of 1000 sRGB 1, which makes the color more accurate, whether watching videos or repairing pictures. In addition, the product also uses Huawei’s mature eye protection technology on mobile phones and tablets to filter some harmful blue light to relieve visual fatigue and protect users’ eyesight. In the outdoor environment, the brightness also reaches 300 nits, to ensure that the screen content is still visible when the user is used in outdoor bright light.

Performance is only auxiliary, easy to use is the king

For a long time, the editor is not willing to put too much emphasis on the performance of the thin book, just enough to use it. If you have a passion for performance, why not buy a desktop or game book for the same price. At present, whether it is the HUAWEI MateBook 13 AMD Ryzen version or the Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro 13 standard pressure AMD Ryzen version, they can meet the needs of daily office and mainstream online games.

The HUAWEI MateBook 13 acute dragon version is equipped with AMD’s latest Ryzen 53500U processor and integrates Radeon Vega 8 Graphics graphics card. The Ryzen 53500U processor adopts 12nm technology and Zen+ architecture, has four-core and eight-wire threads, and the power consumption of the stable thermal design of the heavy-load scene is up to 18W.

While Lenovo’s new Pro 13 standard pressure Rui long version uses Ryzen 53550H standard pressure processor, although marked with standard pressure, you can actually think of it as an overclocked version of Ryzen 53500U, using four-core and eight-wire threads to integrate Radeon Vega 8 Graphics graphics card. Compared with Ryzen 53500U, the performance is improved by 18%, but the power consumption of TDP reaches 35W, and the power consumption increases with the improvement of performance.

In order to contain the high fever of internal components, Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro 13 standard pressure AMD Ryzen version adopts double fan double heat pipe heat dissipation system, combined with large area heat absorption base and high conductivity heat conduction material, together with intelligent heat dissipation regulation, can effectively control the internal and surface temperature of Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro 13.

HUAWEI MateBook 13 Ruilong version is equipped with shark fin fan version 2.0. it uses double fans and imitates the design of shark fin blades. the air volume is 25% higher than that of ordinary double fans, and it is equipped with double heat pipes, which can achieve more efficient heat dissipation effect and achieve both performance and heat dissipation. In addition, the software is equipped with intelligent filtering technology through the temperature sensor to monitor the temperature of the whole machine in real time, so that the fan rotates more smoothly, and the noise of the fan can not be felt at all during daily use.

At the same time, both of them also use DDR4 dual-channel memory design and PCIe NVMe high-speed solid-state disk, PCIe NVMe’s hard disk reading capacity is 5 times that of SATA solid-state disk, and the writing capacity is 3 times that of SATA solid-state disk, which makes the running speed increase again.
