[Screen]

Samsung 14 inch 2.8K 90Hz 10bit OLED screen, 2880 * 1800192dpi, Samsung E4 luminous material, peak brightness of 600 nits, Pantone color certification, extremely powerful specifications.


ASUS Fearless Pro14 screen micro magnification

Subpixel arrangement: Although it is 2.8K, the fineness is not as expected (but it is very good in the notebook), and there is a slight rainbow pattern at a large angle. Microscopic observation of sub pixels is a common arrangement of Samsung large size OLEDs, which is often found on tablets and notebooks, such as Samsung Galaxy Tab, Lingyao X Xiaoyao, etc. The screen fineness is worse than the standard sRGB arrangement. When you look closer, the text has a certain degree of purple edge.


PWM dimming: What makes people sensitive is that ASUS Fearless Pro14 screen full brightness PWM dimming. Users with sensitive eyes are advised to use it in a bright environment as far as possible (but it will affect the iQIYI experience. In addition, there is obvious mirror reflection.

90Hz: It is mainly reflected in games and high frame rate movie sources. For daily Windows operations, except for a few scrolling pages such as browsers, the perception is not very obvious.

Burn screen: The hidden trouble of OLED.


Although all the above are shortcomings, the screen actually looks beautiful and transparent, which is very pleasing to the eye. When OLED looks at HDR content, it is really cooooool. The extreme brightness is not as high as that of mobile phones, but the picture is large and the effect is more shocking than that of mobile phone A screen. Most fans of iQIYI will fall in love with it at first sight.

In addition, with 10bit color and huge color gamut, it is not easy to see color faults when viewing HDR source, and has better color mixing space.

One thing to say, Asustek Pro14, a Samsung OLED screen, is hard to find an opponent below 10000 yuan. The appearance is first-rate, but the disadvantage is the risk of PWM and OLED screen burning, which is prone to polarized evaluation.

Screen Objective Data

Good brightness performance: The screen will not adjust the brightness as the display area changes, as is the case with mobile OLEDs. For the time being, it is unknown what the official 600 nit test result is. Default mode, the maximum brightness in the center is 379 nits, and the maximum brightness in HDR mode is 391 nits.

Uniformity performance is standard: The lower left corner of the machine in our hand is slightly darker, and the right side is slightly brighter. In the default mode, the maximum brightness at 9 o'clock is as follows, and the commonly used 120 nits corresponds to 60% brightness (due to individual differences, the positions of different machines will be slightly different):

  • 381.2/377.9/384

  • 379.5/376.2/382.2

  • 376.6/373.3/381.2

In HDR mode, the maximum brightness at 9 o'clock is as follows, and the commonly used 120 nits corresponds to about 58% brightness:

  • 394.9/395.1/405.8

  • 392.5/391.1/402.3

  • 384.6/385/404.3

 

ASUS Pro14 default mode sRGB color gamut


ASUS Fearless Pro14 default mode sRGB color standard

The color gamut of the default mode is exaggerated and the color accuracy is general: It covers 149.2% of sRGB color gamut, 110% of P3 color gamut and 97.1% of Adobe RGB color gamut. The color temperature is 6472K, which is very close to the standard color temperature (if you don't like it, ASUS official software can adjust the color temperature). The gray scale is bold, gamma 1.95, and the average gray scale deviation is 4.

Under sRGB, the average color deviation is 5.2, and the maximum deviation is 9.8. The official software even provides a bright pattern. At this time, the average color deviation is 6.6, and the maximum deviation is 11.4, which directly deviates from the Milky Way. It is not recommended to use.

 

ASUS Fearless Pro14 HDR mode sRGB color gamut


ASUS Fearless Pro14 HDR mode sRGB color standard

HDR mode has excellent color standard, and it is recommended to keep it open daily: When the HDR switch of win10 is turned on, the color mixing option of ASUS official software will be automatically blocked. At this time, the color temperature is 6426K, covering 98.7% of sRGB color gamut. The average color deviation of sRGB is only 1.8, and the maximum color deviation is 4. The performance is excellent, and the top stream color in the notebook is accurate. As a reference, the average OPPO Find X3 series is 1.2, and the maximum is 4.6. Xiaomi 11 Ultra is 1.7 on average and 3.2 at most.

 

[Performance and heat dissipation]

  • 45W released AMD Reelung 7 5800H, 8-core 16 thread, frequency 3.2/4.4GHz

  • On board 16GB DDR4 3200MHz memory (cannot be added, Meguiar 4ATF1G64HZ-3G2E1)

  • 512GB Hynix NVMe TLC solid state, HFM512GD3JX013N (the same model as Tianxuan 2)

 

There is no doubt about the performance configuration, and the peak performance is better, which is on the same level as the standard pressure Reelung version of Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro14:

  • R15 single core 235, multi-core 1930

  • R20 single core 561, multi-core 4446

  • R23 single core 1437, multi-core 11414

 

Asus Fearless Pro14 Cache and Memory Test


ASUS Fearless Pro14 Hard Disk Test

The hard disk has finally leapt from the ancestral P660 to a normal TLC solid state. The performance of the hard disk still lags behind that of the standard pressure Reelung version of Lenovo Xiaoxin Pro14 (mainly due to random writing).


AIDA64 single baking CPU


CPU+GPU double baking

The stable temperature of the toaster is 89 degrees, and the overall performance is good. Asustek Fearless Pro14 has three speed adjustable fans, and the high efficiency mode is above 45W. At this time, the seat noise is about 52 decibels, and the wind is loud. The game is of this level. The standard mode is 35W, and the quiet mode is 15W:

  • Room temperature 26.5 ℃, AIDA64 single baking CPU. The maximum CPU power consumption was 64.8W, which lasted for 2 minutes and hit the temperature wall with a peak of 95.4 degrees. The CPU fluctuated from 3.797 to 3.81GHz, about 89 degrees;  

  • CPU+GPU double baking, 49.9W at the beginning, CPU at 2.948GHz, 89.5 degrees; GPU at 1100MHz, 81 degrees. After 20 minutes, it dropped and maintained at 45.8W, CPU at 2.848GHz. GPU fluctuates at 1025-1037MHz, 77 degrees.


The hot area of ASUS Fearless Pro14 is around the fans on both sides. After 25 minutes of double baking, the highest temperature area is 45.7 degrees, about 5 degrees higher than that of Xiaoxin, and the back air outlet is 43.3 degrees.

 

[Appearance, touch panel, speaker]

Asustek Fearless Pro14 is available in blue and silver. The blue version costs 100 yuan and will be delivered on June 1. The appearance design of the machine is fairly good, but the grain of the black plastic border on the B side is a little cheaper. C. The D side is made of plastic. At first glance, it can be seen as fake, and there is a faint blue color on the side. The mold opening line can be seen in the middle frame, three section backlit keyboard, 1.4mm key stroke, and the feel is OK.

 

The touch control panel experience is unexpectedly good: it has a huge area, and even has an oil drainage layer. It is comfortable to touch and can prevent accidental touch.

Harman Carton dual speakers, upstream of the same kind, top stream level of the same price: the volume is extremely large, and the body resonance is obvious at the highest volume. The voice of the radio in our hand is to the right, I don't know if it is an example. There is no broken sound at the maximum volume, but it is a bit "sand". The low frequency is large, and the mid frequency voice is not very close to the ear. The tuning is suitable for listening to the special effect blockbusters of "dynamic play times" and "boom, boom, boom".

 

The adapter is relatively small and close to the charger with Apple MacBook Pro on top (but the power cord is long and thick, adding weight).

[Heartbreak]

Two of the three USB ports are USB 2.0, which is 40M/s when running full;


Only HDMI interface, up to 4K 60fps, can not connect to the top screen (although it is enough for most users);


Without port C, it can't be washed away. The feasibility of the "C port to round port" scheme with 19V output of the original power supply is questionable;

The 50Wh battery is a little small (61Wh for the small new Pro14 Ruilong that is close to the weight).


Summary

According to the original plot, Xiaomi and Xiaoxin should swear away as soon as Asustek Fearless Pro14's "Samsung E4 material 2.8K 90Hz OLED screen, 45W R7-5800H and 4999 yuan" comes out. But the immortal operation of cutting off mouth C made Shin suddenly calm down and continued 5699. As a result, Asustek and Lenovo fought, and Xiaomi was injured.

Asustek also has outstanding swordsmanship, giving priority to ensuring the experience of core large items: the most valuable Samsung OLED screen, with excellent appearance and color. Although PWM has its own physical anti addiction (some users will get sore eyes) and worries about burning the screen, the actual effect will let you say to yourself: "Drink today and get drunk today!"!

The Harman Carton double lift is completely adequate, there is no problem with the performance release, the heat dissipation is slightly weaker than Xiaoxin, and the performance is also good. The memory and hard disk are not very top, but they will not drag you back.

 

Asustek Fearless Pro14 is a platform all-around book, whose core is office and entertainment. Even in the 5600H version, the office performance is also seriously overflowing. As long as it is not a 3A masterpiece, most games can run with integrated display. There is no C port, but there are 3 A ports+HDMI, and simple conferences do not need to have a transfer interface. The screen and speakers make it an excellent iQiyi/Tencent/Youku B station player.

The biggest disadvantage of ASUS Pro14 is that it lacks C ports. "Upper body Olympic player, lower body beginner". This has limited its upper limit and persuaded many people to retreat. You can't enjoy the convenience of "display, USB expansion and charging" with one C port. You have to take more adapters when you go out. Without face recognition, most people probably don't care much about it. Unable to replace the memory, only one M.2 hard disk slot and 50Wh battery are normal.


Only the price of garbage, no garbage products. Asustek Fearless Pro14 is not superior except for the screen and speaker, but the gap is small, and the price cannot be lower.

Just after the first round, ASUS Fearless Pro14 kept jumping between 4999 yuan and 5499 yuan. Xiaoxin launched 5199, 5699 daily, 5399 occasionally. Their daily price difference should be 300 to 400. Asus Intrepid Pro14 also has an R5-5600H version of 4599 yuan.

If you add 400 yuan and 5800H, you can add two cores and four threads, which sounds like a good deal. However, the 5600H version is obviously more popular. After all, it has been out of stock for a long time, and there is no 5600H version at the same level as Xiaoxin. In contrast, the entry version is enough to meet all the needs of the target audience, except for the C port.

Harmful, life is often unhappy. Asustek Fearless Pro14, if there is a C port, will be killed. Unfortunately, it did not arrive.
