Is it the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop top version the best on the market - part 2

Of course, because it is a game book, it is surely indispensable that five custom keys and a dedicated tornado button are installed. The D plane of the body is also the sharpest side of the game laptop. About 40% of the area on the D surface is the air inlet (stainless steel for the air inlet). After the "Tornado mode" is turned on, the metal fan at the air inlet will run at full load. With the 3+2 encircled heat pipe and the air outlets at the back and sides (the atmosphere lamp at the bottom), the cooling effect is really strong enough. The actual measurement shows that after the “Tornado Mode” is turned on, the overall temperature of the airframe can be reduced by 4-5 degrees. Such a cooling system is also a major selling point for this Xiaomi Gaming Laptop. After all, the efficient GTX 1060 is used, so it's also true to focus on the cooling system.

Performance

Speaking of graphics cards, let's talk directly about its gameplay and gaming experience. Compared with competing products in the market, most of them have adopted the GTX 1060 MaxQ graphics cards, and the full version of the GTX 1060 has more advantages. The "Rainbow Sixth: Siege" is able to keep the game running at 90 frames - 110 frames with a high degree of special effects. As for the MOBA game "Dota 2", under the full-effect condition, it can operate without any pressure from 93 frames to 128 frames and can maintain an average of 100 frames or more.

At the same time, in our tests, "Tornado" mode can really change the temperature of CPU and GPU in just two or three minutes, in which the temperature drop of the graphics card is especially obvious, and there will be a 4-5 degree drop. In addition, when the “Tornado” mode is turned on, the temperature of the C-side keyboard will also decrease.

In general, during the game, the GTX 1060 is always on fire (according to the game's needs), and will not be down-clocked during the game, which also ensures that after a long game, performance will not decline. At the same time, there are no obvious cases of dropped frames in the game. The number of frames can be kept within a stable range. It is very good for Xiaomi who first made the game laptop.

Is it the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop top version the best on the market - part 1

Although it is the first time for Xiaomi to make a game book, Xiaomi's game notebook is entirely in line with the traditional first-line game book. After two years, the Xiaomi gamers , which Xiaomi supporters were thinking about all the times, were finally released. The Xiaomi Gaming Laptop is Xiaomi's first notebook product for the game, and it also has a very good configuration like Xiaomi's flagship mobile phone.

This time we also got the top i7-7700HQ+GTX 1060 version of the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop. I believe we have a good understanding of its configuration and performance. This time we mainly talk about its use experience.

Appearance

Like the notebook, this Xiaomi Gaming Laptop has not printed the logo of MI on the A surface. This also makes the first impression a very low-key, simple, comfortable, metal feel. However, for Logo, I think they can specifically design a logo for the "Xiaomi Gaming Laptop" category to increase recognition. Of course, Xiaomi's logo-free design is actually different from the practice of printing logos on the A surface of major brands on the market. No logo can be understood as the biggest difference.

In the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop, the other B, C, and D are all made of plastic material. As for why not use metal materials? I think we should consider the weight, as well as better control when shaping and opening holes. Of course, a game laptop with a 2.7kg weight is not very weighty, plus the power adapter power cord, the weigh is about 3kg.

Back to the whole, the 15.6-inch 1080P screen, 300nits brightness, and 72% NTSC color gamut belong to the good level of this price game. Judging from the actual experience, the display of the screen is very good, and it can even be used for tasks such as drawing and cutting. Connected to the B-side and the C-side are two hinges. The rest of the hinges are hollowed out with the screen to form a "suspended screen" effect, which is very scientific. The keyboard on the C side uses a 1.8-mm high-key backlit keyboard. The tactile sensation and feedback are the best I have ever used in the game. Not too much to say, with the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop basically do not need to connect an external keyboard.

In addition, the camera is also equipped with an interface, RJ45 network cable interface supports both wireless and wired connection network, there is TF card slot, are equipped with a bracket that can be fixed on the wall. At the same time, the installation of these cameras is also very simple, directly connect it with the micro USB power cord. Install the APP on your mobile phone and follow the prompts to simply complete the steps. The operation screen of the APP is very simple. The main functions are viewing video, voice intercom, screenshots, alarms, remote control screens and so on.

When a moving object is detected within the camera range, an alarm will sound at the client and the screen and stored video will be intercepted. These screens can also be pushed into the bound mailbox, plus the ip camera's TF card storage. With triple data protection, security is ensured. In addition, the camera also emits a very loud siren that plays a deterrent effect. This volume can also be adjusted. It can be set as needed. The picture can be viewed in real time with optional picture quality. The resolution is 640*368 and 1280*720. Everyone can set according to their own network status. The monitoring picture can also be shared with friends for real-time viewing. The color of the monitor is also more realistic, and it will not be only black and white.

From an experience point of view, now many manufacturers, especially some Chinese manufacturers, such as Xiaomi, have introduced smart cloud PTZ ip cameras that are very cost-effective and may cost as less as a few dollars, but all the functions that needed are readily available. Plus a good software experience, multiple security guarantees, after-sales service, etc., compared to the traditional monitoring, it improved a lot. If you are still considering and hesitating to install a home ip camera, you can look at the price. In the case of such a cheap price, it can improve family safety, especially for families with children, pregnant women, the elderly, and pets, this can be said to be indispensable.

Protect family privacy and safety, experience ip camera -part 1

In the past two years, smart security cameras have been very popular and many families have been installed, but they are basically for normal indoor use. For outdoors, you have to install another set of monitoring. The traditional monitoring camera is also used with hard disk video recorders. It is cumbersome, and the networks are also getting faster and faster. This makes the smart ip cameras more useful and easier to use. Some new products, such as Xiaomi’s smart ip camera, have revolutionized the industry of the ip camera in terms of function and performance. Today, ip camera is a very popular product on the market.

When I got the product, I found that there were a lot of parts and components, in fact, most of them are like wires, and the wires are also very long, which can fully meet the needs of home wiring. At the same time, I found that there is a horn opening on the top of the base, which also means that it supports voice intercom. The camera is usually controlled by a mobile phone APP to rotate it 360 degrees. Just put it in the center of the living room or your house, you can always view all corners of the home.

There is also the outdoor ip camera, which is mainly used to monitor yards, gardens, granges, parking garages, etc. The good design will add a rain-proof, dust-proof and shaded baffle at the top, and the waterproof rating is at least IP66.

Of course, the pixel and resolution of the current ip camera will not be as low as before. More than 1 megapixels camera, resolution 1280 * 720 or more, with infrared night vision function, any details are clearly visible. For outdoor ip camera, four large power infrared night vision lights, the bottom of the lens holes for photosensitive components, combined with ICR infrared filter automatically switches infrared night and day lights. The focal length of the lens is 4mm, the effective monitoring distance is about 5 meters, and the viewing angle is about 70 degrees. There are also 6mm and 8mm lens options, shooting distance will be farther, but the corresponding shooting angle is more narrow. Everyone can choose according to their actual needs.

Provides better control, Sony PS4 also has SCUF handle controller

As a Sony PS4 user, I have always had the heart of the Microsoft XBOX's elite SCUF controller, which provides better control and feel. Now the days of envying someone else’s are finally over, and I don’t have to purchase an Xbox on purpose. Not long ago, SCUF exposed its own newest product, the SCUF Vantage. SCUF has always been a custom manufacturer of game handles and can provide customized modification services for PS and XBOX handles.

Sony PS4 latest SCUF Vantage handle controller

According to SCUF, this handle has more accurate and sensitive feedback than the normal PS4 handle. In addition to the removable rocker, vibration module, paddles, panels and similar XBOX handle the layout of the buttons, shoulder buttons, adjustable trigger keys, etc., in the PS button is also set below the volume adjustment touch pad.

If you haven't bought the latest PS4 game console, then don't worry. For a wide range of PS3 users, you also have a lot of high-quality controllers to choose from. The ps3 controller is inexpensive, portable, and gives you a better gaming experience, so it can be said that it is essential for game lovers. Many people are looking for a good ps3 controller, but the market has gradually eliminated ps3, replacing it with ps4. So, is there a gamepad controller that can match both ps3 and ps4? So that, it can be compatible with all the PlayStation game consoles.

Currently, this product is still in the development stage but has already obtained the official certification of PlayStation. The SCUF official website has already started pre-sale, the wired version is priced at $169.95, and the wireless version is priced at $199.95. The wireless version comes with a portable protection box that is scheduled for sale in the late summer of 2018.

Xiaomi Gaming Laptop review: strong cooling guarantee stability -part 3

CPU-Z

CPU-Z is a well-known CPU detection software. It is a software that detects the highest degree of CPU usage. The supported CPU types are quite comprehensive. The software's startup speed and detection speed are very fast. The Intel Core i7-7700HQ that Xiaomi Games was equipped with had a single-threaded score of 370.2 points and a multi-threaded score of 2001 in the CPU-Z test, which is basically the same as the performance of other excellent gaming notebooks.

Power consumption and heat dissipation

Compared with the conventional hardware configuration, it is believed that most people are concerned about the heat dissipation equipment. At the conference, Xiaomi said that Xiaomi laptops use 46% large heat-dissipation holes, 3+2 large-diameter heat pipes, metal ultra-wave turbine blades, and four air outlets to effectively eliminate the heat generated by internal hardware. Important components such as the CPU will not be down-converted even in the copy mode. So does the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop has the same cooling performance as the launch conference?

We use the 3DMark FireStrike Extreme to test the temperature and thermal performance of the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop in the CPU + GPU dual power mode, and use the AIDA 64 and CPU-Z to test whether the CPU will be downclocked in the original game mode. The GPU-Z records the frequency performance of the graphics card when running the graphics test. It is worth noting that the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop has a powerful fan mode to reduce the CPU temperature by increasing the air intake.

After our tests, the thermal performance of the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop is quite strong. Whether it is 3DMark or AIDA 64, the CPU frequency of the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop book can remain unchanged for a long time, and the CPU temperature is also controlled at about 70 degrees. To know that for laptops, heat is the most difficult place to control, and Xiaomi excellently solved the heat problem, especially in forced cooling mode, the temperature of the CPU under 3DMark is less than 50 degrees. Of course, the noise will be greater at this time.

Great!

Xiaomi Gaming Laptops have given us a big surprise with its extremely mature mix and stunning cooling system. Because Xiaomi has already solved the heat problem that the notebook has been unable to solve for a long time, and the outstanding heat dissipation also gives the CPU enough room to play. For consumers, the excellent heat dissipation of Xiaomi's game is its biggest bright spot, which is believed to be very attractive to hardcore game lovers.

Xiaomi Gaming Laptop review: strong cooling guarantee stability -part 2

The Xiaomi Gaming Laptop uses a 15.6-inch screen, which is detected by AIDA64. This screen comes from BOE and has a 178 degrees wide viewing angle, 300nits brightness, and 72% NTSC color gamut. In addition, the official said that the screen share of the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop book reached 81%.

On the C side of the Xiaomi Gaming Laptop book, Xiaomi uses a key layout that is different from other products. The keycap uses a hyperboloid keycap with a key range of 1.8mm. However, Xiaomi did not use a 101-key keyboard in the fuselage of the 15.6-inch screen while designing the programming keys on the left side. Since the programming button is located on the left side of the keyboard, players who are accustomed to other notebooks need to adapt for a period of time before pressing the wrong button on the Xiaomi keyboard.

Today, glare has become the standard, even if it is Xiaomi Gaming Laptop this is no exception. Users can use the software to set the lights. In terms of interfaces, Xiaomi provides a USB-C interface, four USB 3.0 ports, a two-in-one microphone for headphone microphones, a microphone port, an HDMI 2.0 port, a three-in-one card reader, and a Gigabit Ethernet port. Xiaomi Gaming Laptops are still at the forefront of the industry in terms of extensibility and design. Compared to other game laptops, Xiaomi's are also more stylish.

Performance and heat dissipation

We got this Xiaomi Gaming Laptop with a 15.6-inch screen, it is equipped with Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, 16GB of memory, 256GB SSD + 1TB HHD, and also equipped with Nvidia GTX 1060 6GB graphics card.

Theory performance testing

Cinebench R15

Cinebench r15 is a processor testing software based on Cinema4D engine that can test processor subsystem, memory subsystem and display subsystem at the same time. Like most industrial design software, CineBench can perfectly support multicore/multiprocessors, and its display subsystem test is based on OpenGL. In the Cinebench R15 test, the i7-7700HQ scored 660 points, which is the score of the standard Intel Core i7-7700HQ.
