As a notebook aimed at high-end people, VX7 is not only the flagship model launched by ASUS this year, but also has strong competitiveness among similar products of various brands, making it the Wang Zhiyi of notebook products this year. Considering the concept of luxury and price, its main target group is also high-income people such as Lamborghini fans and successful people.
▲ VX7 is the most this year? Awesome? One of the notebooks (click on the picture to view a larger image)
VX7 is ASUS's latest generation of Lamborghini sports car notebook, which adopts streamlined design in many aspects, and its back is very eye-catching. The wing-shaped design of the car body, angular body, alloy frame and leather palm rest also make it reflect the luxury characteristics of various Lamborghini sports cars. In addition, the composite fuselage top cover has high hardness and good compression resistance, which can protect the screen well in use. What's more troublesome is that the piano-like paint treatment process used for its top cover can bring it a beautiful appearance, but it is very easy to be stained with fingerprints and other stains. In order to save face, users need to clean regularly.

The B-side screen frame of the machine adopts the common piano-like paint effect treatment. The screen frame treated by this method has the characteristics of beautiful appearance, but it is also easy to be contaminated with fingerprints. In addition, because the machine uses a mirror screen, when matched with this screen frame, it may form overall reflection in the strong light environment, which brings inconvenience to users. In the keyboard part, VX7 adopts the popular chocolate design, and also provides an independent keypad area. In use, you can feel that its keys have a good performance in terms of keystroke depth and elasticity, and the actual use experience is excellent.

In terms of interface, the machine provides users with three USB 2.0 interfaces, 1 USB3.0 interface, 1 HDMI interface, 1 VGA interface, 1 RJ-45 (network cable) interface, 1 audio output jack and 65438+. From the point of view of practical application, these interfaces are enough to meet the daily needs of most users in practical application, no matter the type or quantity.

Does the performance of the whole machine also belong to? Super run? grade
▲ Display of power consumption, battery life and temperature control effect of the fuselage (click on the picture to see a larger image)
Because VX7 uses Core i7 2630QM four-core eight-thread processor and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460M high-performance discrete graphics card as the core hardware, its high power consumption under high load is expected before the test, and the actual test results also prove this point. The power consumption of 86W under high load is a relatively high value in notebook products, but fortunately, the battery life of this machine is still about three and a half hours under low load office environment because it is equipped with a large-capacity battery of 74Wh. As can be seen from the above figure, the keyboard surface temperature of the machine is high under the condition of long-term high load, which will have an impression on the operating touch in actual use.
▲win7 index test results
As a software that can measure the performance of the whole machine, the total score and fractional line of PCMark Vantage are very instructive. The total score of this VX7 in this test reaches 77,865,438+0, which is at a good level among the products currently on the market. As can be seen from the score line, the performance of the machine hardware comes from the hard disk. Although the 7200 rpm high-speed hard disk used in this machine is a high-standard product, there is still a significant gap compared with SSD. We also suggest that capable users add an SSD hard disk or upgrade themselves when purchasing this machine.
▲PCMark Vantage test scores
We use SYSMark 2007 to test the office performance of this VX7. As a software focusing on office performance testing, it can most intuitively test the performance of a product in this respect. The total score of 2 18 is excellent, which also shows that the machine can meet the needs of most office applications. As far as the score of each sub-item is concerned, the score of the machine in the image creation sub-item is more prominent, which also shows that the user can get a relatively better use effect when doing this kind of operation.

3DMark Vantage is a software mainly used to test the performance of graphics cards. As the first comprehensive benchmark tool in the industry based on Microsoft DX 10 API interface, its results are of great guiding significance. The GPU score of 3 1079 shows that this GTX 460M discrete graphics card is a very high-end product in this generation of discrete graphics cards, and its performance can fully meet most application requirements of users in many aspects.

CINEBENCH R 10 can be used to test the rendering performance of single-threaded and multi-threaded processors and OpenGL performance of graphics cards respectively. This Core i7 2630QM processor performed well in this test. Compared with those dual-core processors, this product with four cores and eight threads has made a significant leap in comprehensive performance, especially in multithreading.

For most users, they can play all kinds of games.
From the GPU performance of 3DMark, it can be seen that this GTX 460M discrete graphics card has excellent graphics processing ability, and when it is converted into practical application, it is more support for 3D games. In order to test the graphics processing ability of the machine from the perspective of practical application, we also selected a variety of 3D games to measure, including the low-load game Street Fighter 4 and the high-load game Lost Planet 2.
▲ The frame number of the game screen exceeds 30FPS, indicating that the screen is basically smooth (unit: FPS) (click on the picture to see a larger image).
It can be seen from the schematic diagram of the above test results that the machine has a screen performance close to 60FPS even when running some high-load 3D games. Considering that in the actual operation of the game, when the number of frames exceeds 30FPS, it means that the game screen is basically smooth, and when the number of frames reaches 60FPS, it means that players can get the best game experience. In our opinion, VX7 can provide users with good game application support, except for the extreme case of running some extremely high-load 3D games and setting them to the highest quality.

Advantages: excellent performance, full personality of fuselage modeling and proper handling of details.
Disadvantages: the keyboard surface temperature control effect is not good, and the portability is poor.
Asustek VX7 is equipped with high-performance core hardware, and it also shows an extraordinary level in the test process, which can basically meet the application needs of most users in practical applications. When the computer is under high load for a long time, users will obviously feel that the keyboard surface is overheated, which also affects the operating feel to some extent. Thanks to the large-capacity battery, this VX7 has a larger body, but it can also give users about three and a half hours of battery life.

In previous articles, we also mentioned many times that although this VX7 has many attractive features, such as good overall performance and excellent appearance, considering that it is a new generation flagship model launched by ASUS this year, it is mainly targeted at high-end people, and the price is not acceptable to ordinary users. To sum up, we think this product is more suitable for Lamborghini fans, high-end business people, game enthusiasts with ample budget and many successful people who like sports cars and notebooks, and so on.
