IT 168？ According to the evaluation, this once hottest IT industry has been in a downward trend for five consecutive years since 20 1 1 set a historical shipment record of 352.8 million units. Some people say that PC is dead, but we think it is too early to draw a conclusion. After experiencing a huge impact, the PC manufacturer camp has completed the reshuffle. Products are constantly innovated and sales strategies are constantly adjusted. Market segmentation and integration with the Internet have become the main direction of manufacturers. At present, the products launched by PC manufacturers are more distinct in positioning and target users. For example, the brand represented by Shenzhou adheres to the strategy of "high cost performance", and the configuration is getting higher and higher, but the price is getting lower and lower to attract students' attention. Emerging brands, such as dragon defender, mechanical revolution, limit matrix, are geared to the game crowd. Deformation products such as Microsoft Surface and Lenovo YOGA are more suitable for light office workers. HP Pavilion series is aimed at home users.

Simple appearance design

This series originally had a variety of body colors to choose from, but unfortunately this model is only black. Although there is a little fashion element missing, the biggest advantage is that it is resistant to dirt and the fuselage is relatively small. The front panel of the fuselage is made of composite plastic. In order to avoid visual monotony, many pits are evenly distributed, which will have different visual effects from different angles.

The huge "HP" logo played a decorative role, and suddenly it felt tall, different from a compatible PC.

The sticker on the bottom of the front interface shows that it has an unusual identity and uses Intel's sixth-generation Core i7 processor.

The front panel is designed with some common interfaces, including a headphone-microphone hybrid jack, a card reader slot and two USB 3.0 interfaces. The DVD drive at the top is also mentioned here. It is precisely because of the vertical opening design that the volume of the chassis is greatly reduced, and even if it is placed with the monitor, it does not feel heavy.

The power button is located on the top right, and the area is quite large. You can find it by touching it with your hand.

The whole chassis is roughly square, and there are cooling holes on the side. Due to the large-size fan installed on the back, a good air duct circulation is formed, which can quickly take away the heat in the chassis.

The back of the chassis adopts the upper, middle and lower layout. It has not shrunk in power supply because of slimming. The appearance of discrete graphics cards also makes us have some expectations for the game performance of HP Pavilion 5 10-P072CN.

Discrete graphics cards have two common interfaces, HDMI and DVI.

The motherboard is equipped with 3 audio jacks, 2 USB 3.0 interfaces, 2 USB 2.0 interfaces and RJ-45 Ethernet ports. For HDMI and VGA ports that are not commonly used, it is quite thoughtful to cover them with black plastic covers.

In addition, it also has built-in wireless network card and Bluetooth 4.0. At the same time, in terms of memory, it is equipped with a single 8GB memory, and its motherboard supports dual channels, so users can expand the memory capacity by themselves.

Random standard keyboard and mouse, all black, perhaps to match the color of the chassis. As far as the feel is concerned, their performance is a bit unexpected, with moderate keyboard strokes and strong rebound. Unlike some brands of PCs, the keys are loose because the keyboards are given away for free. The mouse does not blindly pursue compactness, and fits well with the palm of your hand. For ordinary gamers, there is absolutely no need for another mouse.

Good hardware configuration

The lowest-configured host of this series uses Pentium processor, which is naturally the cheapest, and the evaluation machine Pavilion 5 10-P072CN we got this time uses the high-end Core i7-6700T processor. Skylake architecture design based on 14nm technology, with four cores and eight threads. The default frequency is 2.8GHz, and the maximum frequency can reach 3.6GHz after turbo acceleration. In addition, it also provides 8MB L3 level 3 cache, which supports DDR4-2 133 memory. The i7-6700K with the "K" may have been seen more before. This is the overclocking version, TDP can reach 95W, suitable for enthusiasts with DIY ability. The i7-6700T with "T" is an energy-saving version, and the TDP is only 35W, but it is more than enough for home use.

Judging from the running tools of CPU-Z, whether it is single-core or multi-core, the performance should exceed i7-4750HQ.

The memory running score is still very beautiful, because Skylake architecture can support DDR4, and HP Pavilion 5 10-P072CN is equipped with DDR4-2 133 memory.

NVIDIA GeForce GT730 with discrete graphics card. Although it is in a lower position from the ladder diagram of the graphics card, the application is accelerated, the entertainment is accelerated, and the game experience is smooth. With rich application capabilities beyond many people's imagination, it can fully meet the daily PC application needs of most people. In terms of game performance, GT730 itself has the ability to run quite a few mainstream games smoothly at full HD resolution. With the help of NVIDIA GeForce experience software, you can also have fun.

Judging from the performance test of PCMark7 on HP Pavilion 5 10-P072CN, it is completely unexpected that we get 3 125. As a home PC, it means that you can do many things at the same time, and the computer can't be stuck. You know, not every computer can meet this requirement.

It is a very wise choice to replace solid state hard disk with 1TB 7200 rpm mechanical hard disk. After all, home users generally care about the size of space. They have to stuff videos, photos and files in, but they are not as speed-sensitive as those gamers. Of course, this does not mean that speed is not important. According to the test data of this hard disk by HD Tune, the fluctuation is within the normal range, with the highest transmission rate 184.8MB/ s, the lowest 72.9MB/ s and the average rate as high as140.1MB/s. You can transfer data to it safely.

Finally, we tested the actual game in Hall 5 10-P072CN. Judging from the test process, the graphic card killer game like Crysis 3 can run smoothly and with medium quality, while the online game like League of Legends, which requires less configuration, can safely and boldly turn on special effects, you know.

Evaluation summary:

Pavilion, as an old-fashioned home PC series owned by HP, has a very good reputation and first-class cost performance. The exhibition hall 5 10-P072CN was launched this time. Obviously, the cost performance is put in the first place, the user needs are very clear, and the hardware combination is also very targeted. Judging from the products presented to us, HP has really made great efforts in appearance, configuration and pricing. Advanced processor, independent graphics card, large hard disk, simple appearance, if you insist on using four words to describe it, it is "just right", which brings users a comprehensive experience, which can be used for office and entertainment.
