# original innovator # millet notebook Air13.3 fingerprint version 256G unpacking and commentary

The evaluation of the notebook thing and the contents of the drying matter are actually very difficult new ideas, so this article is not only out of the box, but focused on several points that are not mentioned in the major evaluations, hoping to share with netizens. After all, for a period of time, the majority of users may not even see this machine even if they go to a physical store.

Reasons to purchase

The time spent playing games after work is getting less and less, and the light and thin requirements for notebooks are higher. Before 2015, notebooks should be light and thin, but Apple's application is more broad. The thin and light era of WIN has started from Haswell. So I started to pay attention to the field of light and thin in 2016 and started to compare.

ThinkPad is the best in design and workmanship, perfect, no problem, the price is the highest, can not afford. Xps I really did not see the appearance of worth so much premium (also because the major manufacturers to follow the design speed), in addition to all kinds of replacement repair work problems really make me not buy. After doing several months of homework in the physical store and the Internet, I found that the choices at the price of around 5,000 yuan were really small, namely Lenovo Xiaoxin, ASUS Lingyao and Xiaomi. The hard requirements are several: 8G memory, 256G SSD, 72% NTSC screen and 5000 dollars budget.

My personal opinion on these three brand differences is as follows:

Lenovo's new design is good, the interface is enough, the configuration is also good, especially the highlight is the screen opening and closing 180 degrees really useful, and some models have a fingerprint to unlock this is true, but the problem is that the power wall is too conservative, which is dark pit. Equivalent to the money I spend i7 can only be used when i5, not on the heat do not do ah, this take the user joking? ASUS Ling Yao can easily replace its own memory and hard drive, is a very affordable choice, but the disadvantage is that I do not like the design (this concentric circle to see more than the publicity of the page map), the screen opening and closing angle is not enough (than Xiaomi The 135 degree of 13 is smaller, which is larger than 125 degrees of the old model of the millet 12, but it is still uncomfortable). And I really bought a U4000UQ result as a starting point, and the experience of changing screens at the ASUS Royal Service Center did not make me happy (of course, as long as there are bright spots within 1 month, the service is free of charge for changing the screen is also a conscience), and finally Return.

Let me choose Xiaomi notebook fingerprint version because: in addition to meet my hard requirements, well-designed, good workmanship, feel good, there are fingerprints, SSD upgrades, interface enough (but no reader really should not) , There is no shortcoming of the above two brands with the same price model, all this as long as 5499 (if there is electricity supplier discount is cheaper).

Did not say, buy to buy the first batch of goods, late SSD or screen replacement brand is too common.

Appearance Gallery

Due to the purchase of a liner bag together, it is a large box set of small boxes. The real notebook box is so big. What impressed me most was the fact that the packaging box was really as clean as the notebook A surface: no promotional graphics were available.

This is the front of the box

This is the back of the box. No Intel logo is exactly the same.

The foam in the box is very well protected

Outside the box is a broken plastic film...

The only thing that I saw was the watermarked tape (beside the younger girl was staring curiously...)

Open the box like this, not pseudo out of the box ...

It was a surprise to see the sponge in the lid of the box: Actually there was such a consideration. I really did not expect to see the packing box.

This charger is super large and has a smaller dot than the Toshiba Polaris black beetle, and the USB-C cable is not detachable.

Keyboard protection.

Please pay attention to these two plans and crevices. This is the most work-related problem that has been criticized by various circles on the Internet. This includes the cutting of the hand. I will write specifically for it later.

This fingerprint is not a pressing type mentioned in a certain evaluation, but only a touch type, and it can be recognized by putting a finger on it. This design is like this: The entire touchpad is covered with a piece of glass, and this finger print reveals at this position in the upper right corner of the glass. It's really easy to use.

Selling Guanzi, a memorable figure that can be seen everyday, I stay at the end of the text.

experience feelings

Evaluation is not done, that is, what kind of: SSD speed, game frames, temperature or something. I speak differently for your reference:

First, fingerprint recognition is very important. With the fingerprint of a mobile phone used to boot, the computer is really troublesome every time you lose your password. And thin and light is really turned off (sleep) anytime, anywhere, every time the password is really not as good as the fingerprint. So this new machine cost 499 yuan I also bought a new machine, fingerprint recognition is really convenient.

Second, screen axis. This is one of the things I don't believe in my notebook. Why say this? Because the laptop is the most mechanical operation every day is the opening and closing of the screen. Thin and light screen axis is not hinged, opening and closing more life is really not easy to say, although the millet notebook main push cost performance but this place really affects the service life. I went to the millet store to see what the old Air13 screen axis has been loose like what you know (I mean like a magazine page), which is less than a year. Any time I go to the Apple Store to pick up any notebook to the screen axis is very solid. Apple's traffic is much larger than that of millet stores. Of course, Apple's laptops are also much more expensive.

The screen axis of the new millet notebook computer is not tight, but it is even laborious to open it from the closed state. The resistance does not come from the screen axis, but it seems to have magnetic force or the suction generated by the lack of air between the screen and the two planes of the keyboard ( This argument is not scientific, it is only a sense description.)

Third, the back edge of cutting hands. As I said before, this is a widely criticized work problem. The back edge is as above. This I started to say something.

Workmanship is based on cost. There are two types of pots that can be deducted from workmanship: one is the design's own characteristics (including defects), and the other is low-level errors in mold tolerances. I think the second is the real work problem. My ASUS u4000uq is such a problem: closing the lid is not the same, the screen should be a little bit to the side, the Internet is indeed pointed out that the same situation, from a practical point of view without any problems, but forced death obsessive-compulsive disorder. The u4000 is also a one-piece body that should not be made in this type of place.

Millet on the Internet said that the workmanship problem is the first one, reflecting the first one is the keycap off (this is really not met can not say), the second is the frame cut. I looked at the cut hand carefully. This is because Xiaomi's D surface will get a little bit of pressure (a finger pressing or screw tightening) with a little pressure, which makes the one-piece frame look a bit higher. The border is not treated. When the finger touches from the center of the D surface to the outside, it feels cut. This kind of Apple MBA certainly won't have this kind of problem because there is no intention to let the user remove the cover. However, Asus is not able to change the hard disk memory itself. Personally, I personally think that it is likely that Xiaomi’s imitation of the MBA design leads to this situation. In other words, if an Apple laptop can allow users to easily open and replace accessories, then this problem may also arise. If you want to avoid this problem, It will increase costs. I personally can tolerate it, but it is still something that can be improved.

In this price, Xiaomi’s work is absolutely good, including the touch of the metal surface is extremely similar to the industry’s highest apple. Ultra-thin millet with the same price, Lenovo, Lenovo and ASUS Ling Yao these three, the latter two work is a look and millet is different. I don’t say that they are worse than Xiaomi because there are aesthetic factors here. Some people just like ASUS’s concentric circle and I don’t like it. Then I don’t approve the work of concentric circles, but let Xiaomi also print a concentric circle. Better than Asus, this means.

Fourth, the keyboard feel. Compared to the chocolate keyboard, Xiaomi is actually a bit softer. However, this is too subjective, and it is highly recommended to touch it personally. Subjectively speaking, it is irresponsible to feel bad.

Fifth, touchpad. This is definitely a plus for the Xiaomi notebook. I don't know what you guys feel. I actually like plastic touchpads that are more like old-fashioned notebooks. The ones with physical and left-right keys are not sensitive to movement, but they are very stable for office use. The current type, which includes both Shin-chan and Shinyao, is a glass touchpad but it is slippery and not easy to use. And millet's touchpad is really easy to use, including gestures and practical. This is really worth recommending.

Six, SSD. The fingerprint version of the 256G SSD is an upgraded Samsung PM961. Millet really does not fool at using this high-performance SSD at this price point. Many other brands are just as concerned as capacity. Here to remind everyone that the speed to use Crystal DiskMark, continuous writing speed to reflect the normal range of 1200MB / S. If you use AS SSD, the write speed is likely to be 300MB/s, which looks very ugly. However, actual use does not affect it. In actual use, USB3.0 mobile storage is written to the local disk at a maximum of 200MB/s, and other scenarios that need to be written to thousands of MB/s are unimaginable. I am not sure if it is necessary to install Samsung's driver specifically. Which one can give some advice.

To put it another way, my opinion on the size of the SSD is this: 128 is definitely not enough, 256 is just enough (the hand is 237, 200 will be available after the system is occupied, and more software will be available in the end 150). 512 is psychological Practical. So if you want to buy 128G specifications, then it is better to buy Surface Pro, lightweight and top-level screen, is to do the document, PPT, Internet and watch pictures. 128 is not practical to buy a laptop, millet new 128 version I think it is also bad.

To put it another way, my view of the expandable view of memory and SSD is such that the accessories of the notebook can be expanded to be pseudo-propositions for most people. Only a handful of people will use a computer for N years, only for this. Very few people are scalable to be useful. In the same way, 128G for 4,400 yuan and 256G for 5,000 yuan, even if the former can add SSDs on its own, it should be selected first. Because adding SSD also has economic cost and time cost, and that 128 is really not enough (now The WIN system eats the C drive very much, many program user folders and program folders are separated, a large amount of data is in the user folder). So to choose a notebook must not give priority to whether you can increase the memory and SSD, unless this is exactly what you determine.

Seven, fever. All aspects of the evaluation said: use millet notebook keyboard to play games hot! The high temperature is a matter of saying two things at a time: one is to say that it is good because the heat is discharged, and one is to say that this is a poor heat dissipation or it cannot be so high. But I think this hot millet is a good thing, for the following reasons:

The power wall of the millet notebook is set aggressively, which is said to be 90%. This will allow the CPU's performance to be fully utilized. If you want to use this notebook to play games, then you can bring the worst portable keyboard can also be, at least the game frame can not fall for as long as possible, than the kind of CPU performance simply can not be used i7 when i5 Strong ah. In other words, at this price point, if it is not hot, it must not be because of heat dissipation, but because of other means.

Here specifically to talk about the ASUS u4000 is a very good point: there is no outlet at the bottom. This is not counter-intuitive. I discovered for a few days that I didn't find a vent on the bottom, which meant that I didn't have to worry about blocking the air outlet when I was putting on my knees. Heat dissipation did not affect me and it was not blown by hot air. Since the entire heat dissipation design is not used to play games, it is indeed a good thing for office and leisure.

Eight, screen. The first shipments were Sharp screens, which were psychologically better. The complete model of this screen is not found on the screen library, but there are similar models, all of which are 72% NTSC, which is enough. Therefore, I also understand why Xiaomi has deleted the 72% NTSC color gamut on the publicity page because it cannot be found directly. If there is any inconsistency in the color gamut, Xiaomi himself will be back. On the other hand, the screen of the ASUS u4000 can be found directly. Of course, the color gamut is an indicator of the factory, and the actual color gamut test is often different. For example, the nominal 72% is actually 69%, and it is normal.

Nine, screen opening and closing angle. I really recommend that you personally go to the physical store to feel that it does not make sense to read the numbers. Millet's old Air12's opening and closing angle seems to be only 120 degrees. It can be said to be very small. My personal habit is almost impossible to use. The opening and closing angle of Air12 on the official page is now updated to 135 degrees, which is much better. What is the concept of 135 degrees? My personal habit is that it is slightly wider and more usable than my most normal and comfortable point of view. The u4000 to be approved here has an absolute angle of less than 135, which is a little bit smaller than my normal and comfortable angle. It is the slight difference in the angle of the neck that makes the body feel particularly noticeable and uncomfortable. Here it is even more important to praise Xiaoxin. It is really practical to use 180-degree opening and closing.

Ten, price. A year without price cuts, this has greatly boosted my confidence in buying the starting ah. Older Air13.3 also cuts prices by up to 200, and the maximum price for the e-commerce activity is 46XX. The price of your business partner can be much more confusing.

Finally, you noticed that I haven't mentioned the graphics card. Because my idea is: play enough games on the line. The resolution of the FHD must be 60fps full. It is not good for you. Since this new low-power version of the MX150 can't do this, then it doesn't make sense. However, 2G memory is much more than words, and now to see millet last generation notebook 940MX also 1G memory is simply a joke.

to sum up

The advantages are summarized above.

Disadvantages:

1, the interface is not enough (to a reader will die?)

2. The screen axis is a little loose and the durability needs to be observed.

If you can accept the price of 5,500 yuan, at the same time there is no great demand for opening and closing angle and the number of interfaces, then the millet notebook Air13.3 is the best choice at this stage. Although monkeys, but the official website is not difficult to grab.

In fact, thin and light is actually the performance, the most important is the CPU: but also high performance and not too hot (temperature does affect the experience). Now that the performance of mobile phones is oversupplied, but all kinds of domestic APP will still be slow to see that the performance has not yet reached the top. The performance of the consumer market is always to be surplus in order to be easy to use, that is, to be silly, silly, silly, silly and light. For example, SSD replaces HDD, because speed is really silly. As long as the hardware performance of digital products is not at the top, there is market space. The ultrabook of the atom era is simply a derogatory term. It is because the performance is so bad that the lightness and thinness that people have only seen after Haswell has the potential to improve performance. Nowadays, the market segment of thin and light laptops is really a sunrise industry. Even if the profits are not high, it can be done because the performance of the processors is far from being surplus. Xiaomi chose to enter this market in 2016. I think this is directly related to this.

Finally made the promise of the beautiful map:

Bring a half-screen wallpaper, this light spilled on the keyboard, really beautiful.

Thanks everyone for taking the time to finish this article. I hope this content will be useful to everyone.
