Civilian Ultrabook Hp Pavilion 14 Review

HP Ultrabook market can be considered a latecomer

, was launched in November last year, the first Folio 13 ultrabook after clear Ultrabook this year led strategy, launched a new the HP ENVY overly series ultrabook and for Chinese users, hit 2GB alone significantly + mainstream-priced model in less than two months time, HP Ultrabook share in China reached 23.6 percent, ranking among the key, fashion, entertainment, long life, and parity became ENVY Ultrabook win.

The HP Pavilion series in the traditional notebook also included Ultrabook, and as the price of 3999 yuan starting point, from the low-end (Pavilion 14/15), midrange (ENVY overly series), high-end (ENVY Spectre XT) full product line, top (ENVY 14 Spectre) and Commerce (Folio Series) Ultrabook layout.

As the the Ultrabook concept of the submitter, Intel hopes to achieve market share of 40% at the end of this year, sales reached 20 million. But the end approaches, the realization of this desire seems still nowhere in sight, more consumers the Ultrabook also in a wait-and-see status, prices become obstacles to buy the biggest bottleneck. Faced with this situation, HP is the first force, "civilian price" Ultrabook series laptop competition with the mainstream price segment to capture a larger market space, with HP's brand appeal, ultrabook popular first shot very Probably this started.

HP Pavilion 14 will have a red and two black and gray color, this time we got the red version, red with ENVY series, HP Pavilion 14 fuselage more showing rose red, and black with other colors, even more generous and engaging, the body and do not have much to play a decorative role in today's perspective, this color is more in line with the aesthetic tastes of young people.

Materials, the HP Pavilion 14 is the top cover or keyboard surface, are ABS plastic, the only metal part is inlaid in the top cover to the lower left corner of the HP logo and electroplating process power button. We are currently exposed to the majority of Ultrabook alloy material, the use of engineering plastics for cost considerations. But this time the surface of the HP Pavilion 14 piano paint the top part of the Obscure as decorative, look less special monotonous.

One of the advantages of using the piano paint in So excellent touch, the HP Pavilion 14 top cover feels feel extra soft and moist, This is indeed a good news for the users do not like the icy texture of the metal material. The palmrest part, piano paint presented the glossy gold red with each other, and glossy screen combine, the entire fuselage are shiny, highlights the stylish atmosphere. As for the mass consumer level ultrabook piano paint instead alloy is also a compromise to ensure that the cost and process quality.

HP Pavilion 14 and ENVY 4, use a 14-inch LED-backlit glossy screen resolution of 1366 768, to the author of the deeper impression is that the higher the brightness and contrast of the screen, the picture performance place. In the top of the screen, a camera and microphone hole with True Vision technology to ensure that the effect of a daily video communications.

Overall, the HP Pavilion 14 much like a slimmed down version of the Pavilion G4, whether it is the whole body, the painting process is still the key layout, using almost the same minimalist design, but the Pavilion 14 richer in terms of functionality, such as adding the the Cool Sense cooling technology, better keyboard feel and support for Dolby sound speakers, we will experience behind articles mentioned.

Ultrabook experience for a feel of the keyboard has been short board, feel good or bad determines the efficiency of our text input, but somewhat lower due to the the fuselage thickness limit Ultrabook universal keyboard keys shorter duration, We use experience.

ENVY series, HP's engineers spent a lot of effort tuning on the keyboard, this Pavilion ENVY 14 and before the keyboard feel is consistent with a floating island-chocolate keyboard, when opened keycap see four support contacts, so the keyboard is struck not shaking up and down, more solid, while the keyboard key-way medium, rebound relatively quickly, but not a member of the keyboard backlight.

Look at the touchpad, this HP Pavilion 14 with integrated touchpad design, friction plate surface can increase the number of floating-point touch, so the fingers can be more precise control of the cursor, while the left and right keys are very clear, the fly in the ointment is not quiet design, the key will be issued when the more obvious feedback sound.

The good, the top portion of the screen HP Pavilion 14 strength subsidence magnitude is very small when pressed, water ripples screen generally does not appear, indicating that the top cover protection screen better. HP Pavilion 14 laptop common sunken shaft, the maximum open angle of about 150 , larger damping, one-handed opening and closing of the screen is more difficult.

The early Ultrabook only 11.6 and 13.3 inches, and later the 14 and 15-inch Ultrabook camp slowly add, so that a relatively large number of dimensions Ultrabook's weight is more difficult to control, portability will be subject to certain constraints, then 14 inches HP Pavilion 14 weight performance how? The results obtained by actual weighing measured is 1.812 kg, compared with the same 14-inch U410 Ultrabook, light weight 0.04 kg, essentially flat with the HP ENVY 4 weight.

The average 14-inch notebook weighs about 2.3 kg, contrast, HP Pavilion 14 lighter of 0.5 kg, do not underestimate the 0.5 kg, the difference in the actual backpack experience is quite obvious. HP Pavilion 14 is also used by a small power adapter, convenient to carry when they go out.

Intel's Ultrabook thickness standard thickness of 21 mm, the HP Pavilion 14 is just to catch the last train of the Ultrabook standard, but can only be regarded as a relatively general score 21.22 mm, this may be due to a number of models with NVIDIA GT 630M alone significantly, if the body is too thin, you may not be able to meet the cooling space.

Compared with the HP ENVY 4 Ultrabook, HP Pavilion 14 in terms of functionality slightly some streamlining, such as removing the Beats Audio sound system (Altec Lansing speakers Instead, after we listen, feeling good), but at the same time retained Cool Sense cooling technology as well as 7 seconds boot function.

Cool Sense cooling technology before we did the corresponding explanations, this function is by rearrange notebook parts, optimize design, and use of specific materials to reduce thermal conductivity, to some extent, help notebook to achieve better cooling. Generally equipped Cool Sense technology models have a built-in acceleration as automatic detection equipment, cooling, intelligent adjust the fan speed to mute the effect will be optimized automatically according to the current environment.

HP arranged to heat large parts of the design during the graphics card and processor distance cooling outlet relatively close, so hot air can be relatively rapid discharge HP Pavilion 14 outlet design on the left, in the practical application of the process , even the handle close to the left side of the outlet, in the the machine normal load state, nor is hot wind Ref. Internal body heat from cooling holes and the high thermal conductivity of the bottom of the fuselage came out, so to ensure that the operation will not feel obvious changes in body temperature.

HP Pavilion 14 in C surface near the shaft until the arrangement a long strip of cellular speakers, Altec Lansing speaker system will support Dolby surround sound, from the specification point of this set of speakers may not be as good as the higher-level Beats Audio sound system, but the actual sense of hearing is good, the sound is very loud, in most cases, we enjoy movies without external speakers, but if your details have certain requirements, recommendations or external speakers to use.

Theoretically, Ultrabook should SSD solid state drive, to ensure that the speed of the boot and run the program, but completely SSDs Ultrabook prices have been high, the HP Pavilion 14 using the current the Ultrabook common hybrid hard drive technology that have both SSD solid state drive and HDD mechanical hard disk.

Startup load the boot from SSD required documents, while some large data files can be stored in a mechanical hard drive. HP Pavilion 14 low version only equipped with a 32 GB solid-state hard drive, although you can increase the speed of startup and wake from hibernation, but can not be used as a storage.

HP Pavilion 14 most of the interface are arranged in the right side of the fuselage, including the power connector, a drop-down baffle RJ-45 Ethernet card interface, an HDMI video output interface, two USB 3.0 interface interface and a card reader. Addition Ultrabook state indicator is also the right side of the fuselage, one power state, boot or sleep Always another hard disk status lights, read / flashing state storage.

HP Pavilion 14 outlet design in the left side, and has been extended in the end the Ministry of interfaces arranged for an Ultrabook keyhole, a USB 2.0 interface and a headphone jack. hp pavilion dv7 battery

Hardware configuration, this HP Pavilion 14 Ultrabook get with a 22 nm process technology, the Ivy Bridge platform, Intel Core i3 3217U dual-core low-voltage processor, equipped with Intel HM77 chipset, configured with 32GB SSD and 500GB HDD hybrid hard drive, a single 2GB DDR3-1600 memory, graphics cards, the models using the Intel HD 4000 Graphics Core, part of the high distribution models will use the NVIDIA GT 630M significant independence.

Windows 7 system comes with performance detection function, our hair measured HP Pavilion 14 graphics a lowest score of 4.7 points, while the processor and graphics card score to get a 6.2 and 6.3 points, due to system mechanical hard drive hybrid hard drive identify the main hard drive, the score is 5.9, a more balanced overall performance, no significant shortcomings.

CPUID software to view, HP Pavilion 14 processor model Core i3-3217U, we can see that this processor clocked at 1.8 GHz based on 22nm process technology, the power consumption of only 17W.

Cinbench R10 the processor performance testing to obtain the final results for the single-core 3028 points, 6355 points multicore quite i3 processor performance with the previous generation standard voltage can be said that the routine has fully satisfied with the HD 4000 core graphics office and entertainment needs.

HP Pavilion 14 also has a 32GB SSD and HDD mechanical hard, so we focused on two hard drives both the speed test, the first is the Samsung SSD solid state drive speed are generally more stable, the curve will be able to found that the maximum transfer rate of 366.8 MB / s, while the average speed of 342.8 MB / s, the speed performance is relatively good.

HDD mechanical hard test, this 7200 rpm Seagate hard disk average read rate of 83.7 MB / sec, burst a minimum rate of 30 MB / s, the highest bit 115.5 MB / sec, and the overall performance of law-abiding.

This HP Pavilion 14 does not use the graphics card, but the use of the latest Intel Core HD 4000 graphics card, after PCMARK VANTAGE overall performance evaluation, the overall performance score of 4350 points, which aspects of the 3196 games, music performance to get the highest score 4474 points.

The thermal performance test actually Ultrabook stability is the biggest test, the heat became patency test a Ultrabook internal real effort, by convention, we used FurMark software plus AIDA64 System Stability testing to make this machine in running under the high load state. The actual monitoring, you can see the processor core temperature of 70 C, single view from the sensor temperature, the cooling performance is on the level in the current Ultrabook.

Next, we use the thermal imager actual test keyboard users often contact with the bottom of the fuselage, and can be seen through the following distribution of thermal imaging, HP Pavilion 14 calories intensive keyboard in the central and the left Shift key the position of the palm rest temperature is relatively low, only about 37 . Most of the bottom of the fuselage heat accumulation near the heat vent, but this use was not obvious. hp probook 6440b battery

Summary:

In HP Pavilion 14 body, we see Ultrabook working with ordinary notebook integration trend, the most obvious point is that the price, in the beginning of the year, the vast majority of the Ultrabook price is still more than 7000 yuan, after a lapse of more than six months, Ultrabook The prices have been cut in the same performance and functionality, a growing number of Ultrabook is equipped with a CD-ROM drive, discrete graphics and more than 14 inches screen, which seems contrary to the original intention of Intel, but indeed to promote the popularity of the Ultrabook. When users have become accustomed to the experience of the notebook, the popularity of Ultrabook concept should be slow, do not be so anxious, so such lower prices, combined notebook functionality and Ultrabook morphology is a necessary transition.

Back to look at the HP Pavilion 14, have to say this is not a perfect the Ultrabook, small battery capacity and technological aspects jianpei are relatively regrettable, but from another perspective, as this generation nuclear progress, as well as greatly enhance the performance of low-voltage processors, so this Ultrabook has a strong practical, but if you do not consider run points, a single from the point of view of practical application and ordinary notebook contrast, the second In fact, in most cases hard to compete, and HP Pavilion 14 has a slim advantage.

I recently contacted a number of low-priced products, the majority refused to give up the metal casing, so the process has shrunk in the offing, and the HP Pavilion 14 is really not so much insistence, beheaded and Fissidens between made the right of judgment, especially details, including the shaft, keyboard, screen and interface, in limited cost constraints, as much as possible to do the best you can do, this is worth encouraged.
