Downright Dazzling, Tab sis ob peb nits xaiv 

Tsis muaj tus nyeem ntiv tes, tab sis lub webcam muaj IR lub ntsej muag lees paub rau Windows Nyob Zoo thiab tuaj yeem nkag rau koj thiab kaw lub kaw lus thaum koj mus txog thiab tawm mus.

Zoo li cov keyboard, nws tuaj yeem siv ob qho ntawm ob lub Bluetooth channel. Lub 5.5-nti cwj mem muaj ob lub khawm programmable; nws yog siab- thiab qaij-sensitive thiab khaws cia nrog kuv ceev tshaj swoops thiab scribbles nrog zoo xibtes rejection.

Lub pob khawm lub suab nqa Bowers & Wilkins branding thiab tuav ob 2-watt tweets, nrog ib khub ntawm 2-watt woofers nyob rau hauv cov ces kaum ntawm lub hauv paus. Lub Lenovo tso tawm suab nrov, nrov heev (txawm hais tias me ntsis boomy ntawm qhov ntim siab) nrog zoo dua-nruab nrab ntses bass thaj tsam thiab meej highs thiab midtones. Suab tsis hnyav los yog tinny, thiab nws yog ib qho yooj yim los ua tawm lem sib tshooj. Dolby Access software muaj suab paj nruag, yeeb yaj kiab, game, dynamic, thiab lub suab presets thiab sib npaug. 

Muaj ob lub 13.3-nti OLED cov ntxaij vab tshaus yog qhov txaj muag ntawm kev nplua nuj. Cov Yoga Phau Ntawv yog gorgeous, rab chais-ntse nrog nplua nuj xim saturated uas pop zoo li daim duab kos duab. Qhov sib txawv yog qhov loj, zoo li feem ntau OLED vaj huam sib luag, thiab cov keeb kwm dawb huv thiab ntshiab, thaum cov xim dub yog Is Nrias teb. Saib cov ces kaum yog qhov dav, tab sis lub iav kov qhia tau qee qhov kev xav, thiab cov ntsiab lus zoo crystal-clear. Qhov kev tsis txaus siab tsuas yog tias thaum lub teeb ci zoo li ntau dua, qee qhov credit mus rau OLED qhov sib txawv siab; cov ntxaij vab tshaus tsis tshua ci txaus pom nyob rau sab nraum zoov tshav ntuj.

Qhov tseeb, kuv muaj ib qho kev tsis txaus siab, uas ib tug Lenovo rep hais tias yog qhov tsis zoo tshwm sim ntawm kev siv lub virtual touchpad nrog Windows 11: Thaum cov zaub rov qab (vim lub dialog box popping, hais), tus nas pointer lossis cursor nquag ploj los yog nkaum hauv qab Bluetooth keyboard. Tau txais nws rov qab yog qhov yooj yim li tapping lub vijtsam, tab sis nws nyuaj heev. Lub virtual touchpad ua haujlwm zoo dua li cov keyboard virtual, tab sis tus cursor ploj mus tau kuv siv nas ntau dua li kuv xav tias kuv yuav. 

Dhau li Smart Note, Dolby Access, thiab McAfee LiveSafe mus sib hais uas ua rau koj muaj kev ntxhov siab pop-ups, Lenovo preloads Phau Ntawv Yoga nrog Lenovo Vantage, uas suav nrog cov kev hloov kho tshiab, Wi-Fi kev ruaj ntseg, ntau yam kev xaiv xaiv, thiab tshaj tawm rau $ 29.99 Kev ua tau zoo tshaj plaws txhua xyoo thiab $ 49.99 txhua xyoo Smart Lock kev ruaj ntseg thiab kev pab cuam rov qab tub sab.

Lub ntsiab lus tseem ceeb ntawm UL's PCMark 10 simulates ntau yam kev tsim khoom hauv ntiaj teb tiag tiag thiab cov ntsiab lus tsim ua haujlwm los ntsuas kev ua haujlwm tag nrho rau cov haujlwm hauv chaw ua haujlwm xws li kev ua cov lus, kev nthuav dav, kev tshawb nrhiav hauv web, thiab videoconferencing. Peb kuj tseem khiav PCMark 10's Full System Drive test los ntsuas lub sijhawm thauj khoom thiab kev xa tawm ntawm lub laptop cia. 

Peb lwm cov qauv ntsuas tsom rau CPU, siv tag nrho cov cores thiab xov, los ntsuas lub PC qhov tsim nyog rau cov khoom siv ua haujlwm hnyav. Maxon's Cinebench R23 siv lub tuam txhab Cinema 4D lub cav los ua ib qho chaw nyuaj, thaum HandBrake 1.4 yog qhov qhib video transcoder peb siv los hloov 12-feeb video clip los ntawm 4K mus rau 1080p daws teeb meem (qis dua lub sijhawm zoo dua). Primate Labs 'Geekbench simulates nrov apps xws li los ntawm PDF rendering thiab kev paub hais lus rau kev kawm tshuab. 

Thaum kawg, peb sim tshuab cov ntsiab lus-tsim chops nrog cov chaw ua haujlwm Puget Systems 'PugetBench rau Photoshop, ib qho kev txuas ntxiv mus rau Adobe's Creative Cloud duab editor uas ua tiav ntau yam kev ua haujlwm dav dav thiab GPU nrawm xws li qhib, tig, thiab hloov pauv cov duab. siv lub qhov ncauj qhov ntswg, gradient sau, thiab lim.

Lub Lenovo tau coj txoj hauv kev hauv PCMark 10, txawm tias tag nrho tsib lub tshuab tau tshem tawm 4,000-point teeb meem uas qhia tau hais tias muaj txiaj ntsig zoo rau txhua hnub nqi xws li Microsoft Word, Excel, thiab PowerPoint. Nrog tsuas yog 13th Generation Intel nti hauv pab pawg, nws ua tau zoo tab sis tsis ua tus thawj coj hauv CPU kev sim. Nws cov ntxaij vab tshaus ceev thiab zoo nkauj ua rau nws xaiv zoo rau Photoshop lossis lwm yam muaj tswv yim apps.

Peb sim Windows PCs 'graphic nrog ob DirectX 12 gaming simulations los ntawm UL's 3DMark, Hmo Raid (ntau tus qauv, haum rau lub laptops nrog cov duab sib xyaw) thiab Lub Sijhawm Spy (ntau xav tau, haum rau gaming rigs nrog discrete GPUs). 

Peb kuj tseem khiav ob qhov kev xeem los ntawm tus ntoo khaub lig-platform GPU benchmark GFXBench 5, uas nyuaj rau ob qho tib si theem qis xws li texturing thiab qib siab, game-zoo li cov duab rendering. 1440p Aztec Ruins thiab 1080p Kev Sib Tw Tsheb Sib Tw, ua rau offscreen kom haum rau cov kev daws teeb meem sib txawv, cov duab kos duab thiab suav cov duab ntxoov ntxoo siv OpenGL programming interface thiab hardware tessellation feem.

Cov khoom lag luam portables nrog cov duab sib xyaw ua ke yuav tsis tuaj ze ntawm tus nqi ntawm kev ua si laptops nrog GPUs discrete, yog li lo rau Solitaire thiab media streaming, thiab tsis nco qab txog kev nrawm nrawm tua-'em-ups.

Roj teeb thiab Zaub Tests 

Peb sim lub laptops lub roj teeb lub neej los ntawm kev ua si hauv zos khaws cia 720p video file (qhov qhib-qhov Blender movie Kua muag ntawm hlau(Qhib lub qhov rais tshiab)) nrog zaub brightness ntawm 50% thiab lub ntim ntawm 100%. Peb xyuas kom meej tias lub roj teeb tau them tag nrho ua ntej kev sim, nrog Wi-Fi thiab keyboard backlighting tua. 

Peb kuj tseem siv Datacolor SpyderX Cov Neeg Tseem Ceeb saib ntsuas ntsuas ntsuas ntsuas thiab nws lub Windows software los ntsuas lub khoos phis tawj lub vijtsam xim xim - pes tsawg feem pua ​​​​ntawm sRGB, Adobe RGB, thiab DCI-P3 xim gamuts lossis palettes cov zaub tuaj yeem pom - thiab nws 50% thiab ncov. brightness nyob rau hauv nits (candelas ib square meter).

Nws yog qhov xav tau tab sis tseem tu siab - muaj ob lub vijtsam tsis zoo rau lub roj teeb lub neej. Lub Lenovo tau kav ntev li yim teev hauv peb cov yeeb yaj kiab, yog li nws yuav tsum tau txais koj los ntawm ib hnub ua haujlwm, tab sis nws tsuas yog Dell xwb. (Kuv tau sim ob zaug los khiav qhov kev xeem nrog lub vijtsam qis qis rau xoom, tab sis nws tsis txaus ntseeg relit ob zaug.) 

Hauv cov xov xwm zoo siab, Phau Ntawv Yoga tau koom nrog Zenbook hauv kev nthuav tawm cov xim zoo nkauj ntawm OLED cov khoom siv thev naus laus zis, tshaj tawm cov kev pabcuam zoo tshaj plaws ntawm tag nrho peb qhov nrov gamuts. Thiab thaum nws poob qis ntawm 400 nits ntawm qhov ci ntsa iab uas Lenovo teev (thiab peb nyiam pom los ntawm IPS cov ntxaij vab tshaus), OLED lub ntuj-siab sib piv txhais tau tias nws ntau dua li ci txaus kom txaus siab rau lub qhov muag.
