And so, how it all began, and with the fact that my system officer ordered to live long. Yes, and in general there was a car, I began to drive to different places, it was inconvenient to drag the systemist, and I always had an ipad on two legs. I decided to pick up a laptop more for the house. In general, as usual, I asked around here, dug into the Yandexmarket and other forums. But the game was worth the candle, found the most average laptop to date. And the task was such that to pick up a mediocre configuration, but that it was a laptop, and not a cobblestone.
Let's start with the fact that the laptop is:
processor: core i3 i5 i7 (depending on configuration)
video card: radeon 6770m 1 gb gddr5 or 2 gb gddr5 (it differs in different beeches) and built-in intel hd3000 processor (sandy bridge only)
ddr3 6 gb ram (maximum capacity 8gb)
wi broadcom
hard disk 500gb 640gb 1000gb 5400 (different in different versions)
windows home premium x64 operating system (many have a home basic)
Here are the main characteristics, I will edit further along the way and make a small list of models, as they change constantly, but at the same time everything is similar.
What struck me at first sight was the design, the aluminum cover, and it is also located around the keyboard. I just fell in love with the design, although there is a burning contraption on the lid strikingly resembling an apple in macbooks. In general, the laptop contains classic lines and resembles a macbook in many ways, but I think this is more good than bad, all ports and inputs are conveniently located for me, except for the diodes on the side. However, everything can be seen in the photographs. The main thing here is that the keyboard is not very beautiful, but it is pressed clearly and has illuminating diodes for caps lock, wai faya and num lock, well, is it not thought out? And the sensor didn’t fail, it understands what it wants and really likes to flip pages with two fingers from the floor of the gesture, by the way it is moderately large and can switch off with two tapas in the square.
What struck the most was the fact that it worked like my old hp c330, and this is a netbook with an ion, with Wai Fay for about five hours in the browser, this seems to be greatly helped by the new processor with the sandy bridge. Unfortunately, with a powerful vidyukha stand a little over an hour. But you can play vedb and the outlet? In this regard, I noticed only one minus, the power supply is simply huge, 3 times more than my past beeches, but for a laptop for 25 thousand with such a powerful filling, I think you can close your eyes.
Of the branded chips I was struck by a very good speaker system of 4 pieces, I could not hear if there was a Subic or not, it was far from computer speakers, so your old boom box is relevant. And a very interesting toy - a fingerprint scanner, I confess it is a toy, all my passwords are saved in chrome, but to enter the system by fingerprint quickly and pathetically. True, I personally did not manage to figure out the fingerprints from the first time, because it was like this from 10 th.
The performance is excellent, but here the question arises about cooling and the laptop becomes an airplane, because all this stuff is warmed up including vidyuha very cool. In general, do not believe those who write that the laptop is loud, that it is under load, and with the help of cool sense, you can adjust the speed so that it does not start constantly like crazy. In games, this will not bother, and on films in the player I cut off the external vidyuha and everything is quiet. So here you will how to load. The main thing is that he does quietly most tasks like a bunch of downloads in torrent and hd views.
In terms of performance, I can say for sure that the average level of graphics and the resolution of its screen, the laptop can master almost any games at high graphics settings, in full hd already 80% -70% percent. The most difficult ones were battlefield 3 and L.A. Noire have dragon requirements, they had to be averaged there. In the same Skyrim managed to unscrew everything, the performance was around 60 frames, gta 4 also showed decent results with rare drops in frames. Until 2011, games on the built-in core were also played well, this is a note for those who like to play offline longer.
I want to say more about the quality of the assembly, I’m not the best, there is a small gap, little noticeable at the edges of the notebook and slightly noticeable distortion of the plastic keyboard. I also read on the Internet about the squeaking of throttles and the shining of logos, but this is all the little things, the main thing is to carefully check the laptop, and there are a lot of models, by the way dv7 I see this to a lesser extent. and you don’t have to play on the laptop, putting it on the sofa instead of the table, and then say that I have artifacts, this is a common occurrence, it’s just a delay in the heat of the bottom, it’s not aired.
Problems: This machine is trying to pull out the average level and it would have happened if it were not for the annoying little things like a hard disk with a rotational speed of 5400 revolutions, if you put 7200, then the games and all other programs are greatly accelerated, while the gain in consumption is not too big. For those who love ssd, you can easily remove the drive without losing the warranty and insert your old hard drive, but keep in mind that the drive has a sata 2 interface.
I was very disappointed with the screen, both in its grain and color reproduction, but the small viewing angles of the screen, which are noticeable in games and films, are the most impressive, but you can of course replace it with a few thousand rubles.
In deliveries for Russia, the laptop has a lot of defects on the case, yes, yes, plastic may be white out of the box or crack a week later, there is a similar quality in Lenovo, nothing can be done, the price and the country play a big role.
The cooling system is not very well made, with the game the laptop can heat up to 80-90 degrees, as it turned out, the cooler is only one and the wiring of radiators is one for the processor and the hpu. In turn, this means that with a laptop you need to carefully handle heavy games and after a year already clean and change the thermal paste.
