Nvidia announced the Max-Q design scheme at the Taipei Computer Exhibition at the end of May, which can insert the GTX 1080 level graphics card core into the body of only 18mm thick, so that ultra notebook notebook can have powerful graphics card performance. It is officially announced that every Max-Q notebook has NVIDIA's close cooperation, which will involve the heat dissipation and acoustic design of the notebook.
In 2017 ChinaJoy, NVIDIA exhibited a total of five MAX-Q design notebooks, of which the most famous was ASUS ROG Zephyrus, which launched the Max-Q scheme, and Acer's PREDATOR Triton 700. In addition MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro, Mechanic PX5-P1 and Xuanlongyao 9000.
First Max-Q ASUS ROG Zephyrus (GX501V1)
As the first part in the world Max-Q notebook, ROG Zephyrus(GX501V1) The thickness of is even thinner than the 18mm designed by Nvidia (17.9mm), and the whole weight is 2.2kg. In terms of configuration, Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, 16GB memory, 256G, 512G and 1T SSDs are available. The graphics card is GTX 1080 with Max-Q technology (its performance is close to that of the mobile GTX 1070, and its power consumption and performance are slightly lower than that of the mobile GTX 1080). 15.6 inch 1080P screen, 120Hz refresh rate, G-SYNC support.
The most obvious thing is that the keyboard moves below the C side, and the number keyboard position becomes a touch pad. Above the keyboard is a whole piece of metal with a bright ROG logo.
Irregular space bar, square island keyboard, feel that there is not much difference between key program and common notebook, it feels good. The touch control panel can be switched to the number key of touch control through the shortcut key, and the backlight will light up. Its speakers are designed on both sides of the keyboard.
The edges of the fuselage are square, and the metal fuselage has bright trim at the corner. The thickness is really impressive.
There are very narrow cooling grids on both sides of the top, and the name of Zephyrus is printed in the middle. The power supply and hard disk indicators on the top can be viewed directly even if the screen is closed. This design is not only handsome, but also very practical.
The A side is bright metal wire drawing in two different directions+the logo of "Black Eye", which is quite beautiful (but It is easy to get fingerprints).
The D side looks much more low-key, with only narrow cooling grids on both sides, but the most special design of the whole machine is this bottom cover.
When the screen spindle rotates, it will take up a whole cover plate at the bottom to support the body to a certain height, so as to strive for valuable cooling space. The power interface is in the left center, and HDMI interface, USB, Type-C and other interfaces are also available, but not sufficient. In addition, the whole support plate at the bottom is very thin, which can be easily bent after being erected, giving a feeling of not being strong.
In order to demonstrate the heat dissipation capacity of the machine, the booth has a temperature measuring gun, and the booth is standby+occasionally large games. The temperature on both sides of the keyboard is between 42-44 degrees, and the hottest part is above the keyboard, reaching 50.8 degrees. The temperature doesn't seem too high, because the C side is made of metal, and the temperature at the keyboard is acceptable, but the 50 degrees at the top is already hot, which is a small price for the texture of metal materials and forcing.
Acer PREDATORTriton 700: 18.9mm+GTX 1080
In the overall configuration, Triton 700 uses a 15.6-inch IPS/G-SYNC screen with a resolution of 1920x1080, Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, up to 32GB DDR4 3200 memory, GTX 1080 with Max-Q technology, and two M.2 SSD slots. estimate It was listed on the North American market in August this year, with a price of 2999 US dollars, equivalent to about 20500 yuan.
The body of Acer PREDATORTriton 700 is slightly thicker than that of ROG Zephyrus, 18.9mm. The body layout is similar to that of ROG Zephyrus. The keyboard is located in the position of the traditional notebook hand rest, and the left side above the keyboard is covered by Corning gorilla glass, so you can see the cooling fan and heat pipe below vaguely. In addition, its cooling fan is also equipped with LED lights.
When we first saw the machine, everyone was confused. Where did the touch pad go? Because the keyboard is placed below, it occupies the position of the touchpad. ASUS's solution is to give up the number key on the right and change it to a touch pad. Acer's scheme is more special. The right side of the gorilla glass above the keyboard is designed as a hidden touch pad.
The A-side and D-side of the fuselage are treated close to the skin like coating, which is quite low-key pure black. The anti fingerprint ability is slightly better than that of ROG Zephyrus. There is a large area of heat dissipation net on the back.
In terms of the interface, the top of the left side of the fuselage is the lock hole, USB2.0 (concave design, factory equipped with a cover), dual USB3.0 and headphone interface. One can see that the internal fins are also painted bright blue.
What's more special is that the power on button is placed on the right side of the fuselage, side by side USB Type-C interface (supporting Thunderbolt 3), USB 3.0 and RJ45 network cable interface (this is not licensed according to the routine).
Large areas of blue coated fins can also be seen on both sides of the top of the fuselage, with a circular power interface in the middle, and DP and HDMI interfaces on the left.
The RGB light pollution of the keyboard is inevitable
Compared with the height of the interface and the author's hand, I can probably feel the thickness of the PREDATOR Triton 700. At first glance, I really think it is a super model. Only the low-key and sultry bright blue fins suggest its ferocious performance. In addition, perhaps because of the difference in materials, the body feeling temperature of PREDATOR Triton 700 is significantly lower than that of ASUS ROG Zephyrus (note, it is a lot).
Although the booth of Acer PREDATOR is not large, this time it still displayed PREDATOR 21X. Support G-sync 21 inch 21:9 2560 x 1080 curved IPS screen, i7-7820HK+up to 64G memory+GTX 1080 SLI, 1T SSD+1T mechanical hard disk.
The wide body is designed with a keyboard placed under it, and the mechanical keyboard is directly used. The touch pad is made into a magnetic fixed independent module, and the back is a digital keyboard, which can be turned over when needed.
The left is PREDATORTriton 700, and the right is PREDATOR 21X. The size difference is huge, and PREDATOR 21X looks like a desktop computer
The left is PREDATORTriton 700, and the right is PREDATOR 21X. Compared with the thickness of the keyboard, the thickness of the Max-Q game book is very touching.
MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro, Mechanic PX5-P1 and Xuanlongyao 9000
RGB keyboard is indispensable
The reputation of MSI GS63VR Stealth Pro is much smaller than the previous two Max-Q notebooks, and its performance is also weaker. The graphics card is GTX 1070 (8G) using Max-Q technology, and other configurations include Generation 7 i7+maximum 32G memory+NVMe M.2 SSD 。 The 15.6-inch laptop is available in 1080P and 4K versions. The thickness of the whole machine is only 17.7mm. The overall design is the same as that of a common laptop. It is difficult to directly judge its noble Max-Q design identity from the appearance.
Xuanlong Yao9000 is one of the most high-end products of Xuanlong now. The whole body is made of metal materials and also has an RGB keyboard. In terms of configuration, the 15.6-inch 1080P IPS screen (72% NTSC color gamut) is also a GTX 1070 using Max-Q technology, and the i7-7700HQ+8/16G memory+128/512G SSD+1T mechanical hard disk is priced at 10999 yuan and 14999 yuan respectively.
The mechanic PX5-P1 is also a Max-Q notebook equipped with GTX 1070, with the thinnest body of 18.6mm. In terms of configuration, 15.6 inch 4K screen, i7-7700HQ+8G memory+GTX 1070 Max-Q (8G)+512G SSD, keyboard with RGB equivalent.
