The polar night T5S Pro virtual machine is a desktop PC platform positioned in the living room. I have known about it before I experienced it. The polar night T5S Pro uses a mobile low-voltage I5 5200U processor, With 8G memory and 240G SSD, the performance of the Polar Night T5S Pro can be said to be quite objective. Although no independent graphics card is used, the integrated HD5500 graphics card is not weak. Players should know that it is close to the level of 820M independent graphics card. In this experience, I will take you to know about this Polar Night T5S Pro mini PC.

Although the polar night T5S Pro host is not large, its package is relatively large. The larger package can see that the polar night T5S Pro has quite a lot of accessories, mainly including a polar night KM900 MAX intelligent remote control, a computer mini seat, and power cables, HDMI cable, manual warranty card, drive CD, etc. In terms of accessories, the KM900 MAX is equivalent to the mouse and keyboard. If you only shop online and watch TV, this remote control can completely replace the mouse and keyboard, but if you play games, this remote control cannot completely replace the mouse and keyboard, especially in competitive games.

Although it is only a mini host, the interface of the Polar Night T5S Pro is very, very complete. It has six USB interfaces, including two USB 3.0 interfaces. For external USB devices and external large storage such as USB 3.0 mobile hard disks, it also has obvious advantages in transmission speed. The Polar Night T5S Pro is also equipped with a COM serial interface, which facilitates the transmission and exchange of some old devices.

The Polar Night T5S Pro has dual RJ45 interfaces. I personally feel that the dual network interface is quite different. Generally, the dual network interface is used more on the server, so the Polar Night T5S Pro may not be too hard to define the server, but it can also be used as a server host.

Of course, the Polar Night T5S Pro is also equipped with a traditional audio interface. Polar Night T5S Pro has dual HDMI interfaces, which can realize dual video output. Of course, one is standard HDMI and the other is MINI HDMI. With dual HDMI, the Polar Night T5S Pro can be connected to two displays at the same time.

The Polar Night T5S Pro provides two wireless antennas. On the surface, one defines a stronger signal, and the other may define a smaller antenna. Since the wireless route is not in the living room, I used a longer antenna. The antenna can rotate in any direction from left to right, up and down, which provides certain space convenience for such a small host.

[How big is the polar night T5S Pro mini virtual machine?]

The Polar Night T5S Pro is an ultra micro mini host. The main thing is that it is very small, I5 processor, 8G memory, 240G solid state disk, plus motherboard, power supply, and so on. Together, these hardware are only about the same size as an Android box. This kind of volume control is very powerful. In such a volume, excellent performance is required. In terms of heat dissipation and temperature stability, or what everyone, including me, is worried about.

The Polar Night T5S Pro is larger than the traditional TV box, but smaller than my personal audio decoder. For many families who want to build a home theater, it is often a combination of high-definition player and power amplifier. The traditional power amplifier and high-definition player are larger than the Android TV box, The sound quality of the T5S Pro is much better than that of the high-definition player plus power amplifier decoding, but for ordinary people, as the main player, the polar night T5S Pro is much better than the ordinary box in terms of both function and sound quality.

Compared with the traditional half tower host, the size advantage of the Polar Night T5S Pro is obvious.

When your living room has a speaker of more than 1000 yuan, I think you need a high-quality player at the same time. Although the audio of the Polar Night T5S Pro does not reach the HIFI level of ordinary people, for ordinary people, the sound of the Polar Night T5S Pro is much better than that of the Android box and the TV's own audio source.

The front power button of the Polar Night T5S Pro is slightly different from the desktop PC. The Polar Night T5S Pro does not have a restart button. If you need to restart the computer, you can start it through soft start or after shutdown. After the TV is connected and started, the picture enters the system. In fact, it is very clear that the Polar Night T5S Pro is a desktop computer. It is a brand PC under the Polar Night brand that is positioned in the living room. The difference between the traditional PC and it is small in size, and the control mode can achieve a convenient experience like a living room level remote control TV through its own remote controller. But is that all? Is it enough for the Polar Night T5S Pro? It is obvious that the small size alone cannot convince most people to accept it, because the following three problems are 1 performance 2 temperature 3 noise.

As for the three major issues, we will talk in detail later. First of all, we will talk about the control experience of the Polar Night T5S Pro. The Polar Night T5S Pro is positioned on the living room computer, which naturally requires a supporting experience in the control. This needs to be coordinated with the air mouse remote control. The somatosensory remote control simulates the operation of the mouse by waving the KM900 MAX intelligent air mouse, and the left and right buttons correspond to the left and right mouse buttons respectively, The mouse function has been replaced very well, but what about text input? We often need to search, type, copy and paste operations. The KM900 MAX also provides keyboard functions as follows.

KM900 MAX The back of the smart remote control is a conventional keyboard layout. Although so many keys are concentrated on such a small remote control, it is obvious that such a small remote control cannot be operated for competitive games, but it still needs an external keyboard and mouse (Polar Night T5S Pro has a USB interface, which can completely connect keys and mice). For ordinary typing and simple games, The KM900 MAX is competent, and the biggest convenience of the KM900 MAX intelligent remote control is that it integrates the keyboard and mouse functions. It is small but can easily operate the polar night T5S Pro, making it a real living room computer.

The base attached to the Polar Night T5S Pro is very good, which effectively saves the area occupied by the TV cabinet. Setting the host upright also helps to cool the entire host. USB interface and audio interface face up, which is also convenient for connecting speakers, peripherals and other equipment.

The polar night T5S Pro boot system is WIN8.1 Professional Edition. In fact, I personally don't like WIN8.1. I'm still used to using WIN7 or upgrading to WIN10 directly, Personally, WIN8 has always felt that it is just a transitional system. It is obvious that now it has indeed proved the transitional nature of WIN8. WIN10 has come out, and WIN8 will soon be replaced, while WIN7 will obviously still dominate the desktop market for a long time. Of course, as a PC, the system of Polar Night can be changed by itself. I will use this WIN8 system for the time being.

[What is the performance of the Polar Night T5S Pro and what can it do?]

As for the performance of the Polar Night T5S Pro, there have been many evaluations on the Internet. As an early DIY player, many people use various software tests to score. I don't know the meaning of scores for many software. I don't know what this desktop mini PC can do. For ordinary players, the increasingly professional tests are almost unknown, So I used the following applications to test what the Polar Night T5S Pro can do in the living room.

Of course, before the test, we still need to look at the relevant parameters and the simple score run by Master Lu (the reference meaning is not very big in fact. But it is a small white sharp tool, and many people think that Master Lu scores)

The performance of the Polar Night T5S Pro is fairly good. Judging from Master Lu's score, the weakness of the Polar Night T5S Pro lies in the ability of the graphics card. For ordinary users, the biggest significance of the graphics card lies in playing large 3D games. If you are a fan of stand-alone 3D games, I think you can ignore this console because it is not a positioning game. If you have a preference for ordinary online games, Even if you love web games, and want a smaller console, especially for users who want to put a computer in the living room, then the Polar Night T5S Pro is more suitable for you.

In the chess score test, explain that the multithreading capability of the Extreme Night T5S Pro is not outstanding, The processor with 4000 points and the processor with 1W points are not so obvious in general household applications, but can only be seen in professional graphics rendering and other fields.

With regard to the performance of the console, I will not test more on other run points. The best way to experience it is games. General web browsing and documents can be smoothly completed for ordinary consoles, not to mention the Polar Night T5S Pro. At present, the most popular online competitive games belong to the LOL of the League of Heroes. At the same time, the League of Heroes is also a representative game, which represents the level of mainstream online competitive games in terms of performance requirements. When LOL can be played, the other two games can be played without testing. LOL image quality effect is low. It can run smoothly. It can be seen from the figure that the LOL can run more than 40 frames under low image quality, and it is basically stable at more than 40 frames under the condition of group combat release skills, which indicates that LOL can run smoothly under low image quality.

Jinwu Group is a relatively old game. In fact, Jinwu Group has no need to test. The old 3D game has not been updated significantly for so long, and its requirements are far lower than those of LOL and other games. This is a game that my girlfriend specially requires to install, so I joined the test. Under the actual experience, Jinwu Group was stable at 60 frames, basically reaching the most fluent level of Jinwu Group, For players who want to play games such as Jinwu Group and QQ Dazzle Dance in the living room, don't worry about not bringing them.

Live Football 2014 is a game I like very much, especially playing live on the living room TV, which is relatively good. Live 2014 needs to reduce the image quality, which can reach a fluency of more than 40 frames, basically 45 to 55 frames. This frame number is already very smooth, and it is good for living room experience.

The performance of the Polar Night T5S Pro can be seen from the actual games. Although it is not very powerful, the basic problem for mainstream games is not that big, only abnormal 3D games or some can't stand it

For example, Tomb Raider 9, which is a large-scale stand-alone 3D game, has an average frame number of 20 in the benchmark test under low image quality. This frame number can only be said to be barely played, and its fluency is far less than the above games. Therefore, players who want to play large-scale stand-alone 3D games are cautious.

Compared with games, I think watching TV and surfing the Internet in the living room, as well as web casual games, are more suitable for the extreme night T5S Pro. Due to the high-speed solid-state drive, the whole experience is very smooth, and there is basically no sense of stuttering. The 8G memory makes it possible to open more web pages without obvious stuttering. I think the following applications will be more suitable for living room computers.

[Fair performance, temperature?]

The mini host is most worried about temperature, although Polar night The T5S Pro performs well in terms of performance, but what about temperature? In the actual experience, I think the biggest essence of the Polar Night T5S Pro is the temperature control. The biggest problem of the miniPC is that the temperature is difficult to control, which is particularly common on laptops. In the actual experience, the temperature of the Polar Night T5S Pro is basically stable at 40 degrees when it is in standby, while Master Lu's temperature and pressure test does not seem to be very effective, and the temperature has only increased by 1 to 2 degrees. Finally, let's use the actual game experience temperature. The game test effect is remarkable. After experiencing the LOL in the afternoon, the temperature of the T5S Pro at midnight is stable within 50 degrees, not to mention the notebook. It's very good for large desktop PCs to control the temperature within 50 degrees in the game, not to mention this small mini host. 【

[How about the noise of the main PC in the living room?]

Pay attention to the above temperature test. There is no fan speed below the temperature. Yes, the Polar Night T5S Pro is a silent PC without a fan. Sometimes it is hard to imagine, The MINI PC can control the temperature so low without a fan, but the Polar Night T5S Pro does, not only does it have no fan, but the Polar Night T5S Pro uses a solid state drive, without the sound of mechanical hard disk reading. Under these circumstances, the Polar Night T5S Pro is almost equal to zero noise, and the actual ear can not hear any noise when it is attached to the body of the Polar Night T5S Pro. It was tested with noise software, The noise in the figure is only 34dB, equal to the ambient noise at that time. In the 34dB sound environment, the sound of the clock moving can be heard.

Summary experience: The experience of the Polar Night T5S Pro is here first. From my personal experience, the Polar Night T5S Pro is a sitting room MINI PC with good performance. Of course, as a mobile host, the Polar Night T5S Pro is also a very good choice. Compared with traditional PCs, the greatest significance of the Polar Night T5S Pro is mainly in the following aspects. 1. It is small in size, just like a box. 2. Good performance and excellent temperature control. 3. There is no noise, no fan design and the addition of solid state disk, and the whole machine has almost no noise. 4. It has a good sense of operation, and can be operated without the mouse and keyboard with the KM900 MAX intelligent remote control. Compared with the traditional Android box, the meaning of the Polar Night T5S Pro is also obvious. 1. It has more functions and better performance. 2. It can play games under Windows and Android games (Android Simulator). 3. The sound quality is better than that of the box when connected to high-quality speakers. 4. Both office and entertainment can be considered.

The disadvantages are also obvious. The Polar Night T5S Pro host is small. If there is a problem, it is not as convenient as the traditional PC to repair and replace the hardware. Similarly, the Polar Night T5S Pro is slightly more expensive than the traditional PC. about Polar night T5S Pro, the mini intelligent virtual machine, to a greater extent, allows PCs to enter the living room, adding more entertainment and convenience to the living room.
