Due to the rapid development of science and technology and economy, more and more technological products have emerged that facilitate our lives. Nowadays, in addition to frequently using smartphones, people also like to use computers because we can do many things with computers. For example, we can use computers to work, study and entertain. Computers are roughly divided into desktop computers and laptop computers. Because laptop computers are more convenient to carry, many people like to buy laptop computers. However, there are many makes and models of laptop computers. Let the editor take you to understand the Samsung q460 review.
1. The metal casing has a strong texture and the screen design has an "Apple" flavor
Samsung's products have always followed an aesthetic route, emphasizing gorgeousness in appearance design. Elegant and able to attract the public’s attention, the Samsung Q460-JS02 we reviewed today is also a new product with a gorgeous appearance. Some people say this is a Taiwanese business notebook, while others say it is a Taiwanese fashionable gaming notebook. In fact, it is difficult to define a personality for the Samsung Q460, because this product has the dual temperament of fashion and calm business.
It is said that the appearance design of Samsung Q460 is inspired by Mercedes-Benz CLS 350 (Mercedes-Benz). Perhaps this is a style that draws on the streamlined design and majesty of Mercedes-Benz cars. If you want to find one word to describe the appearance of Samsung Q460, it would be gorgeous, but I don’t know if there is the same amazing “gorgeous” performance under the brushed aluminum alloy shell. Don’t worry, we’re about to break it down for you.
The metal shell has a strong texture and the screen design has an "Apple" flavor
The first impression of this notebook is that it has a strong business atmosphere. The black plaid magnesium brushed metal top cover has The Samsung logo is also made of metal materials. The whole machine looks simple, elegant, mature and stable, and has the style of a business laptop. In fact, the appearance of Samsung Q460 is exactly the same as that of its predecessor Q430 in the same series, so Samsung Q460 can be regarded as a hardware upgraded version of Q430.
But when we turned on the screen, Samsung Q460 revealed another style. The operation panel is a whole piece of metal with full texture. The silver panel is so simple that there is no shortcut key. Coupled with the "black frame" screen, a sense of trend and fashion is leisurely born. At first glance, it really looks like that. A bit "Apple" style.
Although this screen looks a lot like the borderless design of Apple’s Macbook Pro, it actually does not integrate the glass screen and the slim body like the Macbook Pro. It just adds a frame on top of the screen. A highly transparent plastic plate is installed to make the edge of the screen look more beautiful.
2. The chiclet keyboard and the control surface are finely crafted. Return to the top. The chiclet keyboard has a finely crafted control surface.
Samsung Q460 uses the popular chiclet keyboard. Compared with traditional keyboards, this keyboard design has a very good dust-proof effect, and both the key travel and key spacing have been significantly improved, increasing the comfort of operation.
In order to provide users with a more comfortable feeling of use, the surface of the metal touch panel has also been frosted. In addition, next to the left and right buttons is the system status light, through which you can clearly see the status of the system.
The hinge is also made of metal and looks very solid. However, the damping of the hinge is slightly larger, making it difficult to open the screen with only one hand. In addition, the Samsung Q460 has a speaker unit on the left and right sides of the keyboard, and its sound effect is not inferior to that of brand speakers.
In order to enhance the heat dissipation effect, Samsung Q460 is designed with two heat dissipation vents. This design looks very similar to the heat dissipation vents of some ThinkPad notebook products, so does it also have similar heat dissipation?
After running the game at full load for an hour, we tested the heat in various parts. From the picture above, you can see that the heat is concentrated at the air outlet on the left side of the keyboard. This area has reached 42 degrees Celsius and feels a littleHot to the touch. Although the heat dissipation design of the metal body and dual air outlets is very good, there is an NVIDIA GeForce GT540M graphics card inside the machine that generates a lot of heat, so the actual heat dissipation situation is not very ideal.
In fact, the metal body is a "double-edged sword" in terms of heat dissipation. On the one hand, it can expand the heat dissipation area and accelerate the dissipation of heat. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity of metal is much stronger than that of engineering plastics. The heat can be quickly conducted to the control area, causing the panel temperature to rise. This requires designers to balance.
4. The body is thin, light and portable, with 5 hours of battery life Back to top It's thin and light. From the measurement results, it can be seen that the thickness of the Samsung Q460's body is very well controlled. The thinnest part is only 29.1mm, which is only a little thicker than a coin. This reflects the "thin" characteristic of this official term, so what about "light"?
Compared with products of the same size, the weight of Samsung Q460 still has certain advantages, here The advantage is not its absolute weight, but that it can maintain a level of 2.25Kg after using a metal body and an independent graphics card. This shows that the Samsung Q460 is indeed not heavy and can be considered worthy of the word "thin and light". .
MobileMark 2007 conducts battery life testing by running daily programs, so the results obtained are more in line with actual usage. We saw that the final result was 332 minutes, which is about 5 and a half hours. Considering its dual-core independent graphics configuration, this battery life result is still satisfactory.
5. Mainstream machine performance test with i3+GT540 configuration
In terms of configuration, Samsung Q460-JS02 uses the latest sandy bridge architecture Intel Core i3 -2310M processing, equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M graphics card with 2G video memory, 4G DDR3 memory, and 640G hard drive. The overall performance is very balanced and sufficient to meet most daily application needs.
PCMark Vantage can measure the overall performance of various types of PCs. From multimedia home entertainment systems to notebooks, from professional workstations to high-end gaming platforms, whether in the hands of professionals or ordinary users, PCMark Vantage can fully understand them and maximize performance. Test content can be divided into processor test, graphics test, and hard disk test.
The SYSMark series of software obtains computer performance data by using real and relevant application software and simulating real user operations on the computer. It uses scientific methods to boil broad findings into an applicable pattern and combines concepts from multiple test software to evaluate the performance of a system. Users can use it to obtain and compare data between different platforms. The data is consistent and reliable.
CineBench uses the Cinema 4D special effects software engine developed for the film and television industry to test the performance of CPU and graphics cards. The test includes two items, one for the performance indicators of the processor and the graphics card. Although the Intel Core i3-2310M is an entry-level processor, it still achieved a score of more than 6268 points due to its architectural advantages.
6. 3D graphics capability and game effect test
3DMark 06 is the industry’s most authoritative 3D graphics capability testing software. It mainly uses the latest generation of game technology to measure the level of DirectX 9-level 3D hardware. . NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M scored 8387 points at the default 1280x768 resolution. However, scores are far less direct than the actual game experience. Especially users who have no idea about scores are more concerned about the actual measurement results of the game.
Game: Street Fighter 4
The fighting game "Street Fighter 4" (Street Fighter 4) developed by CAPCOM uses the latest 3D graphics technology to reproduce it in a more gorgeous way The unique 2D drawing style of the original work. This game can be said to be the pinnacle of DX9.0C production, and is very suitable for measuring the DX9 performance of the graphics card. Because the game itself has a maximum frame rate of 60 frames, in order to test the performance limit of the graphics card, the game's special effects can only be fully turned on. However, in the end, an average result of 58.6fps was still obtained, which shows the power of the graphics card performance.
Game: Resident Evil 5
"Resident Evil 5" is a shooting action game. The game screen of "Resident Evil 5" running in DirectX 10 mode is very smooth. The final test result is 51.6fps, and the game rating is B grade.
Game: Lost Planet 2
DirectX 11 is a greatly enhanced version of DirectX 10. DirectX 11 brings Tessellation(embedded subdivision surface technology), Multi-Threading (multi-threading), DirectCompute (general computing), ShaderModel 5.0 (rendering engine 5.0) and TextureCompression (texture compression) five important features, bringing better vision to users enjoy. Although this configuration performs well in DX9 and DX10, it is a bit miserable in front of DX11. During the game, the fps is about 15, and it will drop to about 10 in complex pictures. The game picture effect is average, which can only be said to be barely adequate. run.
Review room summary
It has the stability and maturity of a business notebook, the bright appearance that is loved by fashion-conscious people, and the powerful performance that game experts desire. As a product with mainstream configurations, Samsung Q460 performs well in all aspects. If I have to find a fault, it is that the heat dissipation effect when running games needs to be improved. What we hope is that it can be used while ensuring game performance. More comfortable. Users who like games can purchase additional cooling equipment for it to prevent the machine from overheating frequently and affecting its lifespan.
