Hewlett-Packard Pavilion has light visitors, rich colors and high cost performance, and mainly promotes young and fashionable buyers. Appeal to young people: Young people should be "interested in me" and have Pavilion series notebooks with many choices, large perspectives, real sounds and long battery life to make life more interesting.
Appearance: makeover, new image
The newly listed Pavilion 14 is made of aluminum alloy in order to pursue better visual effects and upgrade the grade. After anodizing and color electroplating, the color fully reflects the texture and taste of metal, giving people a sense of calm. In addition to completely different hand feel, the metal shell is firm and wear-resistant, and also has the advantage of good ductility.
The color scheme of the prototype we got this time is champagne gold, and the other color scheme is starry sky silver.
If you think that the weight of the fuselage will increase greatly after switching to metal material, it is really wrong. The thinness of 19.5mm and the weight of 1.7kg give you what you want, which is a labor-saving choice.
HP's new Pavilion 14 is equipped with a 14 inch LED backlight display with a resolution of 1920× 1080, which brings a good impression. Although it is easier to reflect light than other screens, watching videos online has little effect, which can be avoided by adjusting the angle slightly.
There is a camera directly above the screen with a microphone to meet the user's video call needs.
The design on the back is very learned. Integrated cover plate design, the whole bottom plate can be disassembled, making maintenance and dust removal easier. Parallel heightening long foot pads are rock-stable, and at the same time, they are equipped with rear row cooling holes. HP CoolSense intelligent cooling system first optimizes the cooling design of notebook. In addition to selecting special materials and non-conductive surfaces that are more conducive to heat dissipation, the layout of parts is also carefully arranged, so that heat can be discharged in the fuselage in the smoothest way, and the airflow in the fuselage can be optimized to keep the heat dissipation airflow away from the main parts of the fuselage and the hands of users. In addition, more importantly, the word "smart" can be adjusted at any time according to the use environment of the computer. Whether you use the computer on your desk, bed or leg, you can intelligently judge the environment and adjust the speed of the fan to ensure the heat dissipation efficiency.
The position of the cooling hole of the whole machine is determined according to the hot spot distribution of the machine, which is reasonable and scientific, and also ensures that the user will not feel the obvious change of the fuselage temperature during the operation.
▲ There are USB3.0 interface, USB2.0 interface and headphone microphone mixed interface on the left side of the fuselage.
▲ The following is the SD card reading slot, which is often used by business users.
▲ The right side of the fuselage is equipped with USB3.0 interface, standard HDMI digital interface and RJ45 network cable interface.
The interface layout is reasonable, which meets the user's requirements for expansibility without destroying the slimming effect.
Inside: the collision between inspiration and practicality
A speaker is designed at the top of the keyboard, which is jointly built by HP and Danish top audio-visual brand B&; O company * * * jointly built, the overall sound quality output has been significantly improved compared with ordinary notebook speakers, especially in the performance of high and middle notes.
▲ The power button is in the upper left corner, and the angle design of rectangular radian looks very harmonious with the fuselage.
The beautiful wavy line design on the C surface is quite the finishing touch, as beautiful as a fingerprint, representing your identity and walking freely in the individual lines. Hewlett-Packard said its design was inspired by Nike's Flyknit sneakers.
The keyboard of Xinting 14 is very simple, and there are no redundant function keys. The keycap has a moderate size and a slightly shorter key stroke, but it is very elastic, and you can find that kind of knocking feeling. The surface has a matte coating and the fingers feel good.
The integrated touchpad is very beautiful, and it integrates C-plane, but it takes some time for the left and right keys to be used flexibly.
Performance: not enough
The new Pavilion 14 adopts Intel's sixth-generation core i5-6200U processor, 14nm process, dual-core 4-thread design, with the main frequency of 2.2GHz and the highest turbo frequency of 2.7GHz. As can be seen from the screenshot of CPU-Z, the fifth-generation core i5 5200U belongs to Broadwell-U architecture, and the TDP design is/kloc-0. In terms of buffering, the first-level data is 2x32KB, the first-level instruction is 2x32KB, the second-level 2x256KB and the third-level 3MB；; ; The number of physical cores is 2 and the number of threads is 4.
Although the main frequency of i5-6200u is only 2.3GHz, the test results are close to that of i7-4558u with the main frequency of 2.8GHz, and even exceed that of i7-4558u in single core, which shows the special features of Intel's sixth generation skylake architecture.
8GB of memory is standard. The most remarkable progress in hardware specifications of DDR4 memory is the substantial increase in frequency. The 2 133MHz that DDR3 needs overclocking has been natively supported by DDR4. In addition, lower voltage means lower power consumption, and lower power consumption will bring lower heat generation.
▲AIDA64 memory cache test results
NVIDIA GeForce 940MX, a graphics card, is designed based on Maxwell architecture. Its core is GM 108 (940M is GM 107), its core frequency is 1 122MHz, and its highest frequency is 1242MHz, which is slightly higher than 940M. With a memory capacity of 2 GB DDR 3,940MXx, the memory frequency is 100 1MHz, slightly higher than 940M. The memory bit width is reduced to 64 bits, and the memory bandwidth is reduced to16gb/s. ..
It can be seen from the test results of CINEBENCH R 15 that the test results of the sixth-generation Core i5 processor i5-6200u are the same as those of the fifth-generation i7-5500u.
▲PC mark 8 home test environment score
▲PC mark 8 working test environment score
It can be seen from the work and home performance of PCMARK8 that Xinting 14 is absolutely comfortable for business office and audio-visual entertainment, and can also be manipulated for games such as League of Legends and Hearthstone.
▲ Although there is no jaw-dropping reading and writing speed of SSD, it is really good for business and student users.
Evaluation summary:
After the makeover, the HP Pavilion Traveler notebook with mainstream positioning and comprehensive performance should set a new benchmark model. Simple but not simple, it is necessary to completely subvert the general cognition of users and comprehensively enhance the experience in 360 degrees. It's hard to believe that you can buy such a notebook with both internal and external repairs for 4999 yuan, and you can also get a fashion bag and a hundred yuan E card when you buy it recently, and you can also pre-install Office 20 16 worth 749 yuan in full. As a student, this is a very good choice with high cost performance.
