The Most Balanced 14 Inches Alien Newborn M14x Notebook Review
Dell Alienware notebook for users who are familiar with may know
, Alienware has M11x, M15x, M17x three sub-series, their common feature is equipped with Intel processors and high-end performance of transcendence NV or ATI's graphics, powerful gaming notebook called the the computer. However, throw away the hardware configuration and performance not to mention, the highest rating by users is still the maverick designs and very sophisticated materials materials.Dell's Alienware laptop this year released its latest product line, and the past is just practice to upgrade the hardware configuration is different, this product upgrades are disruptive. The subversive from two aspects, one is M15X to the stage of history, no longer sell (China's official website will still sell for some time), its successor is 14 inches volume M14x, M14x Dell official explained that only for mainland China sales. The second is the material change, except M18X anodized aluminum casing to provide outside, M11x, M14X, M17X will only provide high-strength engineering shell, and shell coating on the use of classes to improve skin texture and touch.
Alienware M14x: New Dimensions of new material is improved portability
We are evaluating today is precisely to the user is most concerned about M14x this product, so the reason prompting the user attention, the reason is nothing less than the change in volume. Look at the history of its product development and independent play to the strong performance portable M11x M15x, M17x, which lack the most popular among users in China alone like 14-inch products, so, M14x also welcomed the launch.
As mentioned in the same preface, the new M14x change also comes from the shell material. Used by its predecessor M15x special anodized aluminum shell is different, M14x with a high-strength engineering shell, and with a class of coating materials to improve skin texture and touch the machine. The official explained that the project has a coating material and class have a more robust skin and strong performance, but with the traditional anodized aluminum enclosure can not really be compared.
M14x uses high-strength engineering material shell is not simply to reduce the cost and cost, in fact, high-strength engineering material shell also has its merits, the most direct impact is significantly reduced weight, more beneficial to the user mobile use. In addition, changes in body size is also important on the side, no one denied that the 14-inch size smaller than 15 inches into the backpack more user-friendly.
Appearance there is a more obvious change in design from the front of the fuselage, before M15x makes use of the design looks slightly stiff, and in the M14x body front you will find here a more streamlined and more sci-fi feel, but the function did not make the change, as is only a decorative role.
Alienware M14x: interior design, as always, feel more delicate manipulation
M14x's control feel and no shred of change, as is the full-size keyboard configuration, provides the input does not belong M15x and operating experience. In addition, the formal point of view from the keyboard design, the new M14x has not changed, but the width of the keyboard compared to the previous M15x border, compared to 14 inch rear narrow body becomes more slender frame, the visual effects get a lot of improvement.
In addition, M14x always inherited predecessors unique selling point: lighting, M14x lighting effects divided by region to nine, including the familiar alien Logo, bottom of the screen "Alienware", shortcut keys, touchpad mouse . Personally feel that the most unusual lighting effects, or the keyboard backlight, four regions can be set to different light colors, if you're interested, then customize the game according to the color of the shortcut key areas required for operation, thereby further enhancing the efficiency of the game in the keyboard control .
Why M14x's interior design is more delicate it? The main reason is the interior designer on the M14x to add a new design elements, from the M15x interior, we see the top of the keyboard placed in ordinary plastic, and in the M14x the top of the keyboard is using a metal material, with dense cellular network design, M14x machine to enhance the texture of the interior at least one grade. Not only that, here also two sets of hidden built-in high-end Klipsch speakers, with the body at the bottom of the bass unit can create and restore a realistic sound effects.
Compared with the M15x, although both are common in the design of the LED lighting touchpad four weeks, but the design of formal point of view, the new M14x seems to be more of a number of fashion. Before the new M14x does not follow the design of an integrated touchpad, the touchpad embedded design center in palm rest, separate left and right mouse button is designed to provide more convenience to the user's input and operation.
Alienware M14x: Interface layout and reasonable with dual USB3.0 interface
Interface on the performance of the body is, M14x is the absolute number of the most abundant, in addition to conventional VGA, HDMI video output interface, etc., but also joined the Displayport interface, three different formats of video output interface can ensure the M14x adapt to any external video equipment. Displayport interface is a high-definition digital display interface standard, the transmission speed than HDMI, but because the cost has not been popular in the low-end products, and in the future of this interface is likely to become the mainstream of high-definition digital display interface standard.
From the layout of the interface point of view, M14x is quite good, the left side of the fuselage full account of the user interface to the actual usage, we need to solve all the external interface cable built in the upper left, you can remove the user sets the scene too much disorder, leaving more space for more files, cups and other personal objects.
Is also observed from the perspective of the layout of the fuselage right side of the interface design, because the use of slot-drive and is located close to the daily control of the mouse's right-hand users, daily use will not occupy as large as an ordinary drive hanging space. It is worth noting here the interface design, M14x canceled by the ExpressCard interface, and USB interface is also upgraded from 2.0 to 3.0, and is dual USB3.0, USB3.0 although not popular, but better than none.
Alienware M14x: heat, but the general level of high-capacity polymer battery built
For a new model, users would be more concerned about how the heat level in the end, this product has value M14x offers relatively good mobility, the user should point to its higher level of heat dissipation requirements. Here we take a look at M14x on this product in the thermal module design, and then in to a thorough understanding of their true level of heat it!
Unlike the double thermal module design M15x, M14x although there is to see two cooling modules, but in fact the processor and graphics card is a cooling module, the public, just like goods, another idle, the module does not provide the actual heat. The same as under the Note icon, here is the placement of memory modules, although there are some cooling effect, but certainly not independent of the processor and graphics used in all the heat to cool.
The actual temperature of the test also shows that our guess is correct. M14x's keyboard is not ideal to heat slightly, the temperature can reach the keypad 39 degrees. Palm rest area temperature is rather strange, there it is on the right palm rest, the temperature reached 38 degrees Celsius, the right palm rest temperature is too high for a reason, where the design of hard disk and CD-ROM and hard disk drive inside the , there is no cooling channel for its use, resulting in temperature is difficult to drain away.
Back body heat even more worrying, the main hardware placement of the temperature of the region reached almost 40 degrees Celsius, is not conducive to the lifting of bare skin, especially now the beginning of summer, with indoor and outdoor temperature, M14x not suitable for user long time use.
Theoretically, as long as the laptop has a good thermal performance, the battery life on certain has a good performance. As the M14x's performance prior to the heat, although the built-in lithium polymer batteries, but we are also not optimistic about their life to achieve satisfactory results. M14x is the built-in battery can view the battery power, easy to use on the move in time to understand how much power for its use, but some effort to control them a little fee.
M14x built-in lithium polymer DELL XPS M140 battery has reached 63Wh, after we use MobileMark2007 under full load testing up to 255 minutes using the length of the screen that the user's state of the brightest in four hours, the endurance performance has been quite good, not knowing the level of ordinary game notebook battery life is very tough over 3 hours.
Upgrading from a personal point of view, M14x's performance is good, body is very easy to open, the back of the fuselage with only two screws to secure the bottom cover. However, the current official standard view, the user's behavior is not desirable to upgrade the existing hardware level sufficient to meet the mainstream of large-scale 3D Play a single game.
Alienware M14x: i7 quad-core processor + GT555M more robust performance
M14x equipped with a whole new generation of Intel Core i processors - i7-2820QM, this release of the first generation of processors so that people of vision from the CPU to enhance performance of many who moved to the GPU. Compared to the first generation of Core i series processors, the second generation of Core i series processor in the user experience on the major upgrade of the three points: 1.32nm process technology, bringing improved performance and lower power consumption; 2 fusion performance was comparable to entry-level single GPU, the video encoding / decoding capacity; 3 Turbo Boost 2.0 technology, demand for performance tuning.
Intel Core i7-2820QM quad-core eight thread processors, clocked at 2.30GHz, just from the parameters for, you can probably have a good understanding of their performance, coupled with 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM memory support, not its strong performance self-evident.
SYSmark 2007 Preview is a software platform DELL Precision M40 battery for a variety of PC performance testing software integrated, it actually can be used to install most of our daily fidelity simulation software to run applications (word processing pictures, video playback, 3D performance, etc.), so its Test results for the office and entertainment applications are very true and accurate, has been recognized by the industry.
PCMark Vantage provides a more user-friendly features and a key test desktop, mobile, workstation, unified platform, test scripts, test software based on Windows system. PCMark Vantage can measure all types of PC's overall performance. From multimedia home entertainment system to the notebook, from professional workstations to high-end gaming platform, whether in the hands of professionals, or belonging to the ordinary user, can understand the system performance through the PCMark Vantage test test content can be divided into processor, graphics testing, hard disk test.
Summary
Specifically for the Chinese official said M14x users to create, probably because of their love of Chinese users, especially 14-inch notebook computer, notebook computer under this dimension of performance and DELL Latitude D430 battery life has a good performance, and in general are more portable models. But I only saw him M14x performance is very strong, as life belongs to the middle level, the portability of the most critical in the M14x's body really is not reflected, 2.941Kg the whole weight who can not be said for a long time of mobile portability.
However, M14x brought a new change is worthy of recognition, after all, a main performance notebook computers, are used in high-end mainstream hardware case, the expense of what the user is the portability can be forgiven, but not sorry M14x anodized aluminum shell of customized services, which many people feel M14x this product will shrink some, especially for the fans who probably will not be tolerated.
