At the launch conference of 2022 ASUS thin notebook products held last month, many new products including Ling Yao X Pro, Ling Yao X Dual-screen Pro 2022, Ling Yao X 13, Fearless Pro and Adou 14 Pro were officially unveiled. At the same time, quot ASUS Good Screen 3.0 strategy quot was officially announced, thus announcing that the OLED screen has entered the era of high-brush, which also means that the OLED screen that once only matched high-end notebooks can now be fully realized on ASUS thin notebooks.

Among the new A-Bean series products launched this time, A-Bean 14 Pro and A-Bean 14 Pro China Aerospace co-branded products contain multiple configuration versions, providing more choices for students and users who pursue personalized labels. Among them, A bean 14 Pro has rich and colorful color matching, and the color matching of slightly drunk mint, interstellar silver sea and polar whitening is more dynamic. With colorful OLED ASUS screen, it is definitely an eye-catching weapon. After the hardware is equipped with Intel's first12nd generation Core standard stress processor, the performance is fully upgraded, which can be described as gorgeous. Take a quick look!

appearance design

Let's take a look at the design of Bean 14 Pro. After all, Yan value is justice, especially the young people of generation Z, who never follow the trend, dare to adopt early adopters and want to be the leader of the trend. A bean 14 Pro is such a product. Its simple body adopts 3D nano-jet printing technology, and the surface of keyboard palm rest is also coated with silver ion antibacterial coating, which is not only elegant and beautiful, but also adds a layer of safety protection. The light and luxurious stainless steel mirror LOGO design in the middle enhances the fashion temperament.

In terms of portability, the body thickness of Yidou 14 Pro is about 17.9mm, and the weight of the whole machine is about 1.5kg, which is larger than A4 paper. You can pick it up with one hand or put it in a carry-on bag for easy carrying without burden.

In addition, a Bean 14 Pro notebook can be tiled with 180, which is more convenient to share documents with colleagues in a small range. Moreover, in terms of the firmness of the fuselage, it has also passed the MIL-STD 8 10H military code quality certification, such as accidental falling, carrying and outdoor shaking, high and low temperature environment in summer and winter, etc. And this notebook can keep running well.

On the screen side, ASUS has been implementing quot ASUS's good screen strategy in the past two years, which can be said to give full play to the advantages of OLED screens and make users realize that high-quality screens are not extravagant. Compared with traditional LCD screens, OLEDs have higher color gamut, faster response, higher brightness and contrast, such as watching movies and playing games. Compared with the traditional screen, the color is clearer and brighter, which can better present the immersive visual experience brought by HDR movies.

By playing 4K video, we can actually verify the contrast between OLED and traditional screen. In terms of color display, brightness, contrast, etc. We can see that the screen display of a Bean 14 Pro on the right is clearer, brighter and more layered.

In the all-black environment, the overall picture quality of the organic light-emitting diode screen of A-Bean 14 Pro on the right side is fuller and brighter, including the black color of the stone mill, and the surface texture and particles can be clearly presented.

Back to a Bean 14 Pro, 14 inch OLED screen with a resolution of 2880 1800, we measured it with a red spider color corrector, and finally got 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut and 96% NTSC. The screen can also achieve a high refresh rate of 90Hz and a high response speed of 0.2 milliseconds. The overall screen quality is quite good. In addition, it also supports DC dimming, and passed the hardware-level Rheinland TV low blue light certification. Triple eye protection function protects eye health at all times, and also supports native/display P3/DCI-P3/sRGB four color gamut switching.

In terms of color accuracy, the minimum value of Delta E is 0. 17, the maximum value is 1.80, and the average value is 0.70, which reaches or even exceeds many professional display data. Undoubtedly, this A-Bean 14 Pro organic light-emitting diode screen is professional in comprehensive quality and can bring more shocking visual experience.

In the past two years, the industry subversion brought by ASUS in the field of thin and light screens is obvious to all. Asustek's good screen not only allows low-budget users to experience the ultimate visual experience brought by organic light-emitting diode screens, but also solves the problem of screen burning.

Every notebook equipped with ASUS good screen will undergo strict and accurate color correction one by one and customize ICC color profile when leaving the factory. The Delta-E value of color standard has also reached the leading level in the industry, and has passed Pantone professional color certification to ensure that users can enjoy high-quality pictures brought by accurate colors; Asus has set a high standard for the screen quality of notebook computers and become an industry leader.

At the top of the screen, the camera of a bean 14 Pro also adopts a three-dimensional mask design. After the video is over, a flick can completely cut off the leakage of network privacy and avoid embarrassment.

The main reason why notebook computers can become productivity tools is high efficiency, especially in text input, which is much faster than other electronic devices. Bean 14 Pro is equipped with a full-size ergonomic keyboard and 1.4mm long keys, making typing easier. The keyboard is equipped with backlight and supports three brightness levels. Don't get lost when typing at night. It is worth mentioning that the keyboard surface, palm rest and touch pad are also coated with silver ion antibacterial coating, which can effectively inhibit the growth of many common strains, the antibacterial rate reaches 99%, and the antibacterial effect can be maintained for more than 3 years, bringing intimate care to the health of users.

In terms of interface, A-Bean 14 Pro provides a USB-A 2.0 on the left side of the fuselage, which can be connected with a mouse. In addition, there are cooling holes and notebook running status indicators.

The interface on the right side of the fuselage is more abundant. From left to right, there are microphone/earphone two-in-one interface, USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 interface, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1, 1 HDMI and power interface. Rich interfaces can meet the daily connection of most peripherals, such as higher-speed SSD, docking station, and external monitors, projectors, televisions and other devices. The application scenarios are very complete.

Then this is the design of Bean 14 Pro. Its light and portable body and elegant and fresh color scheme left a deep impression on us. In addition, in addition to the organic light-emitting diode screen, users can also choose the conventional LCD screen, and the price will be more affordable.

Next, let's take a look at the performance of this notebook. For many students or newcomers in the workplace, in addition to daily browsing, office work and drama, there may be creative design needs such as Ps and Pr. Therefore, we should consider the performance and heat dissipation of notebook computers.

hardware performance

The A Bean 14 Pro notebook we evaluated is equipped with 12 generation Intel Core i7- 12700H standard voltage processor, 14 core, 20 threads, 24MB L3 cache, the highest turbo frequency of 4.70GHz, the basic power consumption of single core turbo frequency of 45W, and Intel Ruiju with 96 execution units. Because the 12 generation core adopts a brand-new hybrid architecture, the main frequency is 1.4GHz. Through the intelligent analysis and scheduling of hardware, the load status and priority of the application are fed back to the Windows 1 1 system, and then the system makes decisions and processes quickly, thus obtaining a stronger performance experience. For example, in terms of video coding format, it is undoubtedly a great boon for many video bloggers to easily decode high-definition videos and save electricity at high speed.

CPU-Z

In the common CPU-Z performance test, this core i7- 12700H scored 677 for single core and 671/.5 for multi-core. Compared with the previous generation of Core processors, both single-core and multi-core performance have been greatly improved, especially in office applications and content creation.

Cinema bench

CINEBENCH can not only evaluate CPU performance, but also test CPUGPU rendering. It is a commonly used software for evaluating PC operation. The score of CINEBENCH R20 is 623cb for single core and 5289cb for multi-core.

In the R23 test, Core i7- 12700H scored1614ps in this ASUS A Bean 14 Pro, and scored 1356 1pts in multi-core.

Cross-labeling efficiency benchmark test

Thanks to the blessing of 12 generation H45 standard pressure processor, the performance of thin and light notebook has been greatly improved. It turns out that you think that a thin notebook can only browse the web, chat and watch TV plays. Now, the performance of thin and light notebooks can actually cope with more productivity applications, such as photo editing and video processing.

Cross is a popular PC performance testing platform, which gives results from three application scenarios: productivity, content creation and response speed. It can be seen that ASUS A Bean 14 Pro notebook equipped with Intel Core i7- 12700H processor got 1577 points in the CrossMark test, of which productivity 1542 points, creativity 1664 points and responsiveness1.

7-zip compression and decompression

Compression and decompression are also common operations in office learning. The speed of compressing or decompressing hundreds of megabytes or even gigabytes of files also reflects the multitasking ability of CPU. It can be seen that in the benchmark test of 7-Zip, the overall score of Core i7- 12700H processor reaches 62.593GIPS, and the compression and decompression speed is quite good.

Sharp torch Xe nuclear display

As mentioned earlier, Core i7- 12700H is also equipped with Intel Sharp Torch Xe nuclear display and 96 execution unit. Although the frequency is 1.4GHz, its performance is not only working level, but also absolutely unambiguous in dealing with image processing and video editing. Even if you can use it to run LOL, eat chicken and other games.

Let's use 3DMark to measure the score. In DX 12 time spy photos test, the graphics card score is 1380, the CPU score is 7598, and the comprehensive score is 1573.

In the test of DX 1 1 fire attack, the graphics card scored 4099, and the physical score was 2 1346.

Night Raid is mainly used to test PCs with integrated graphics cards. Graphics card 1530 1, 109 12, integrated 14430. In addition, in the game performance estimation built in 3DMark, the frame rate of Battlefield V at 1080 resolution is also 30 FPS, which is an entry-level game, but it can be run.

If you want to hack with your classmates, games like LOL can still run smoothly. By default, this ASUS A Bean 14 Pro running League of Legends can also reach the frame rate of 120 FPS, and you can even adjust the picture quality a little higher.

internal storage

In terms of memory, ASUS A Bean 14 Pro is equipped with 16GB DDR4, but on the 12 generation Core platform, if it is equipped with DDR5 4800MHz memory, the performance will definitely be better. In the memory test of AIDA64, the reading speed is 39789 MB/s and the writing speed is 42009 MB/s, which is actually good.

Hard disk storage

In terms of hard disk, it is equipped with Hynix NVMe solid-state hard disk with a capacity of 5 12GB, and TCL particle performance is stronger.

The sequential reading speed of the test is 3538MB/s and the sequential writing speed is 3029 MB/s, which is at a medium level, but this performance is enough when the system is started, or when loading programs and copying large files.

Heat dissipation and performance release

For small partners who often kneel down to work, the laptop is too hot and always affects the experience. On the other hand, if the heat dissipation design is not good, it will also affect the performance of the product, and there will be stagnation, suspended animation and other phenomena. So today's thin and light notebooks give consideration to both performance and heat dissipation. Let's continue to look at the performance of this notebook.

ASUS A Bean 14 Pro notebook adopts ASUS ice front cooling system, double heat pipes and double air outlets 87 fans, which is more efficient. Can the power consumption of i7- 12700H processor be completely released? We use AIDA64 for pressure test, with FPU option, room temperature of 24, continuous operation 17 minutes, CPU temperature of 92, and stable power consumption of 45 W. This performance is very good, and in the pressure test, the keyboard area and the bottom of the fuselage can hardly feel heat.

keep one's patience

Another pain point of mobility is battery life. Whether in the library, in the coffee shop, or on a business trip, giving presentations to customers and so on. Longer battery life and faster charging technology make people feel more confident. At the same time, the built-in MyASUS 3.0 computer housekeeper and battery health management can limit the maximum charging capacity to 60% or 80% when using external power supply to prolong battery life.

This notebook has a built-in 70 WHr battery. We use PCMark 10 # 039 modern office mode for testing. Charge the battery to 100% full charge, unplug the power supply, set the system to the highest efficiency mode, the screen brightness is 40% clearly visible, turn off the Bluetooth and keyboard backlight, and finally get a battery life of 9 hours 14 minutes, and automatically turn it off after the remaining 2%. There is no pressure to meet the day's study and office, and there will be no anxiety about using electricity.

Evaluation summary:

In ASUS's good screen strategy, many thin and light new products, including A-Bean 14 Pro, not only give more users the right to enjoy high-quality visual perception, but also have a revolutionary impact on the entire notebook computer screen market, playing an innovative and benchmarking role.

The release of the 12 generation Core standard processor with mixed architecture has also greatly improved the performance of notebook computers, which can play a higher efficiency when used for study, office and even content creation. This gives students and young people in the workplace a space for self-development, whether it is graphic design or video editing, it can be easily done. At the same time, in the mobile office, it is light and portable, giving consideration to performance and heat dissipation, and has become an essential fashion and efficient tool.

Finally, in terms of the version and price of A-bean 14 Pro, it is equipped with Intel Ruiju Xe nuclear display12nd generation Core i5- 12500H standard voltage processor and 2.5K high color gamut screen version, with the initial price of 4499 yuan. At the same time, A Dou 14 Pro is also equipped with 16GB 5 12GB SSD and 2.8K 90Hz organic light-emitting diode ASUS good screen, which has both value and strength.
