Tus yuam sij Fn yog ib nrab-qhov loj me thiab mus rau sab xis, tsis yog sab laug, ntawm qhov chaw bar, yog li ua ke nrog tus cursor xub tuav los kho qhov ntim thiab lub vijtsam ci yog qhov txawv txav. Txwv tsis pub, SteelSeries keyboard nrog RGB backlighting yog qhov txaus nyiam, nrog rau kev mob siab rau Tsev, Xaus, Nplooj Up, thiab Nplooj Down cov yuam sij. Txawm li cas los xij, lub rooj tsavxwm kev ntaus ntawv xav tias hollow thiab tsis teb ntau dua li snappy. Lub buttonless touchpad glides thiab kais smoothly tab sis nias nruj. 

Ib qho ntawm cov yuam sij saum toj kawg nkaus muaj lub logo SteelSeries, tab sis tsis ua dab tsi ntawm peb chav kuaj; los yog SteelSeries GG cov nqi hluav taws xob nyob rau hauv Start menu pib kom raug. Kuv rub tawm thiab nruab qhov tseeb SteelSeries GG los ntawm tus tsim cov keyboard thiab nws ua haujlwm zoo (txawm hais tias tus yuam sij shortcut yeej tsis tau ua), cia kuv tinker nrog cov qauv xim. 

MSI Center software muaj ntau yam kev teeb tsa thiab kev saib xyuas kho vajtse; installable modules xws li Wi-Fi optimization rau AI suab nrov tshem tawm thiab tagging duab; thiab ib qho kev xaiv ntawm Kev Ua Haujlwm, Sib npaug, thiab ntsiag to txias hom. Kuv siv hom Kev Ua Haujlwm rau peb qhov kev ntsuas ntsuas, tshwj tsis yog rau hom Balanced rau lub roj teeb poob. Nws tsis tau pab ntau, tab sis - roj teeb lub neej tseem luv luv, raws li kuv yuav tham hauv qab no. Lub Windows 11 Home software preload kuj suav nrog Music Maker Jam thiab Norton Security sim.

Lub 1080p tsis-kov zaub lub ntsiab attraction yog nws cov blazing 360Hz refresh npaum li cas, tab sis nws kuj tseem muaj yeeb yuj thiab tiag tiag, nrog rau qhov dav saib lub kaum ntse ntse thiab zoo sib xws. Cov keeb kwm dawb huv tsis yog dingy, thiab tsis muaj pixelation nyob ib ncig ntawm cov ntawv. Kuv pom kuv tus kheej tapping lub brightness yuam sij nyob rau hauv kev cia siab ntawm wringing tawm me ntsis brightness, tab sis txwv tsis pub lub screen yog ntau tshaj li txaus siab.

Kuaj lub Vector GP66: Ua Si King of the Hill 

Rau peb cov qauv ntsuas ntsuas, peb tau sib tw MSI tiv thaiv plaub lwm lub khoos phis tawj zoo tshaj plaws. XPG Xenia 15 KC thiab 17.3-nti Asus ROG Strix Scar 17 yog kwv yees nyob rau hauv tib tus nqi ballpark, thaum AMD-powered Lenovo Legion 7 Gen 6 raug nqi $ 250 ntau dua, thiab Razer Blade 15 Advanced Model yog tus nqi tshaj plaws ntawm $ 2,999.99. Lub Lenovo thiab Asus yog Editors 'Choice Award yeej. Koj tuaj yeem pom lawv cov specs yooj yim hauv qab no.

Productivity Tests 

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 qhov ntsuas ntsuas tsom rau CPU, siv tag nrho cov cores thiab xov, kom 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 Primate Labs 'Geekbench 5.4 Pro simulates nrov. apps xws li los ntawm PDF rendering thiab kev paub hais lus rau kev kawm tshuab. Thaum kawg, peb siv qhov qhib-qhov video transcoder HandBrake 1.4 los hloov 12-feeb video clip los ntawm 4K rau 1080p daws teeb meem (qis dua lub sijhawm zoo dua). 

Peb qhov kev sim ua tiav zaum kawg yog Puget Systems 'PugetBench rau Photoshop, uas siv Creative Cloud version 22 ntawm Adobe's nto moo duab editor los ntsuas lub PC qhov kev ua tau zoo rau cov ntsiab lus tsim thiab kev siv multimedia. Nws yog qhov kev txuas ntxiv uas siv tau uas ua tiav ntau yam dav dav thiab GPU-nrawm Photoshop cov haujlwm xws li qhib, tig, hloov pauv, thiab txuag cov duab rau kev siv lub qhov ncauj qhov ntswg, gradient fills, thiab lim.

Tsis ntev tas los no, ob peb lub khoos phis tawj tau qhab nia 4,000 cov ntsiab lus hauv PCMark 10, thiab peb tau teeb tsa tus lej ntawd ua lub cim ntawm kev tsim khoom zoo rau txhua hnub apps zoo li Microsoft Office. MSI yuav luag ob npaug ntawm nws thiab breezed los ntawm peb lwm cov qauv ntsuas, txawm hais tias nws nqaim taug qab Asus nrog tib lub nti hauv CPU kuaj. Tag nrho cov tshuab no yog overkill rau niaj hnub ua hauj lwm, thiab lawv sib tw mobile workstations rau cov ntsiab lus tsim prowess. 

Graphics thiab Gaming Tests 

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. Qhov ntau thav duab ib ob (fps), qhov zoo dua. 

Peb qhov kev sim tom ntej no suav nrog kev ua si tiag tiag-tshwj xeeb, cov qauv tsim hauv 1080p los ntawm AAA lub npe (Assassin's Creed Valhalla), tus tua neeg tua neeg nrawm nrawm (Rainbow Six Siege), thiab kev sib tw kis las sim (F1 2021). Peb khiav txhua qhov kev ntsuas ob zaug, siv cov duab sib txawv presets rau Valhalla thiab Zaj sawv thiab sim F1 nrog thiab tsis muaj Nvidia's DLSS anti-aliasing thev naus laus zis.

Ua qhov feem ntau ntawm 360Hz npo ntawm Zaj sawv Six Siege cov duab zoo tshaj plaws? Yog, thov! Peb tau pom ntau qhov sib txawv hauv GeForce RTX 30 series GPU kev ua tau zoo ntawm cov wattages sib txawv; MSI hais tias Vector's RTX 3070 Ti khiav ntawm 150 watts, uas zoo li txaus rau tus nqi zoo heev. Yog tias qhov rig no tsis muab txoj cai bragging rau koj hauv txhua qhov kev ua si, nws yuav los ze rau nws. 

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) 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 siv Datacolor SpyderX Cov Neeg Tseem Ceeb saib xyuas qhov ntsuas ntsuas ntsuas thiab software 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 qhov siab tshaj plaws nyob rau hauv nits (candelas ib square meter).

Peb tsis cia siab tias cov ntawv sau ua si yuav kav ntev npaum li ultraportables thiab convertibles, tab sis Vector GP66 lub roj teeb lub neej tsuas yog woeful, ib qho tsis txaus siab flashback rau cov gaming rigs ntawm ob peb xyoos dhau los. Nws cov xim ntau yam yog qhov nruab nrab, tab sis nws yog ci dua li qee tus neeg sib tw (tab sis, raws li kuv tau hais, luv luv ntawm 400-ntxiv rau cov ntawv nyeem uas kuv nyiam).

Screaming ceev, tsis ntau luxuries 

Nees nkaum plaub puas bucks nyob deb ntawm pheej yig, tab sis nws yog tus nqi ncaj ncees rau kev ua tau zoo zoo li MSI Vector GP66's. Lub khoos phis tawj no yog qhov tsis muaj kev ua si Gargantua, muab cov nqi sib tw sib tw (nrog GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, tsis nco qab txog qhov xav tau RTX 3080) thiab lub vijtsam refresh npaum li cas. MSI tsis yog slim lossis elegant li Razer Blade 15, thiab nws lub roj teeb lub neej luv luv, tab sis nws yog qhov kev xaiv zoo yog tias koj xav ntsaws nws thiab cia nws ripe.
