[PConline stand-alone evaluation] Panasonic's notebook computer products are not common in the domestic market, but friends who are familiar with laptops must have a certain understanding of them. Panasonic notebooks have always been known for their waterproof, durable, anti-drop, and pressure-resistance characteristics ( The structural strength is the highest in the world. Its Toughbook (see name knows) series is the three defenses that meet the US military standard MIL-810G standard. The waterproof and dustproof design of the series can easily cope with rain, snow and sand. Dust and other harsh working environments can also be used in fields such as mines, oil fields, and battlefields. For everyday life and work environment, we may not need such high-intensity protection, but for notebook computers, it is obviously essential to have certain drop-resisting and compression performance. However, notebook products with relative capabilities on the market are relatively Less, most vendors pay more attention to product hardware and appearance design.
Panasonic's business notebooks focus on the Business Mobile series. This series inherits the tradition of Panasonic's lightweight, long-lasting, and pressure-resistant and drop-resistant notebooks. The Panasonic CF-SZ6 notebook computer is even more portable in the 12-inch notebook. The "World's Most Exquisite" title has achieved approximately 14.5 hours of battery life on the basis of a light weight of only about 849g, achieving a beautiful combination of lightness and endurance for business purposes. In terms of sturdiness, the beautiful combination of lightness and endurance needed for business is realized. In terms of sturdiness, this notebook passed the 76cm drop test and the 100kgf stress test. Is it really tough? Let's take a look at this product together.
First, the appearance and detailsThe design of Panasonic CF-SZ6 is different from the current popular style. The overall design starts with the practicality and protection of the product. Therefore, the design concept of common products on the market is not the same. At the same time, this notebook adhering to Panasonic's rigorous and pragmatic design style, details and workmanship is very sophisticated, ribbed line processing to the product has added a bit of calm and professional, very suitable for a variety of business occasions and travel use. CX-SZ6 has a variety of colors of the shell to choose from, with its compact body, is not it feel very cute?
The overall size of this notebook is 283.5mm x 203.8mm x 25.3mm (width x depth x height), which is about 12 inches or so. It is made of magnesium alloy. The compact design makes it suitable for use in narrow places (Cafe's Small tables, crowded conference rooms, occupy a very small area. At the same time, due to the compact size of this notebook, the backpack can be stored in general, so there is no burden on the daily commuting.
On the screen, this notebook uses a 12.1-inch WUXGA display with a resolution of 1920 x 1200 (16:10). (WUXGA is a Widescreen Ultra eXtended Graphics Array or WUXGA) and is short for The UXGA format has a resolution of 1920x1200 and a 16:10 aspect ratio.) Compared to the previous generation (SX4), the aspect ratio of 16:10 can display more information and is more conducive to business documents, protocols, etc. Reading of the instruments. At the same time, the wide viewing angle of about 89° from top to bottom, left and right, and the anti-glare effect of the screen ensure visual effects at different angles. On the other hand, WUXGA screens are relatively rare on general laptops. Due to the high requirements on the manufacturing process, the prices are relatively expensive. The overall display effect of the screen is quite clear and the colors are delicate and real, which is very suitable for reading texts and browsing web pages.
The upper part of the screen is equipped with a camera and a microphone. The camera supports 1080P Web camera function and can perform high-definition video chat (Full HD 1080p quality). The array microphone can also ensure the clarity of voice calls.
In terms of the keyboard and touchpad, the keyboard presents a pale gray, and the main colors of the product have a complementary effect. In terms of using the touch, although the overall size is smaller than the general notebook keyboard, but the key process is set properly, there will be no misoperation caused by the size of the keyboard. In addition, the responsiveness of the buttons is significant and the feedback is obvious, enabling smooth and comfortable continuous tapping.
The design of the circular touch pad is also a major feature of Panasonic notebook products. This circular design not only looks very refined, but also has distinctive features. The color of wheel covers and buttons can also be changed according to personal preferences. In terms of practicality, this circular design is much better than the common square trackpad. First, the touchpad expands the sliding range. When browsing the web, only one finger needs to be clockwise or counterclockwise. Continuously sliding along the edge, that is, adjusting the scroll bar of the page, the experience is very smooth. Secondly, the touchpad is delicate in material, responsive, and accurate in positioning. The strength and feedback at the bottom of the touchpad are also quite perfect. For everyday life and business work, this type of circular touch pad is more convenient than a mouse when it is used skillfully.
As a small and lightweight notebook, the front frame of the fuselage is naturally fully utilized. Panasonic CF-SZ6 notebook front border set a different state of the indicator, you can easily understand the current working status of the laptop, the right side of the light is configured with an optical drive (the test machine is no optical drive version), the far right is set the audio Jack, SDXC card slot, power switch. It is worth mentioning that the design of the power switch is very creative and its advantages are similar to those of the old radio. Turning it to the right will turn it on. After the computer is turned on, the green light on the switch stays on. When the notebook is closed, it will look like a breathing light. It is very dazzling.
In the body interface, CF-SZ6 is equipped with RJ45 network port, VGA port, security keyhole on the left side, the right side is equipped with a power jack, ventilation holes, WLAN switch, HDMI interface (4K 60p), and three USB3. 0 interface. Careful you may find that the right side of the fuselage has a long strip of interface, but in fact it is an interface, but this notebook's only cooling holes, its small and delicate design makes it easy to create an interface illusion . From the point of view of the number of interfaces, even though the body is small, the interface itself is quite rich, especially with VGA and HDMI (4K 3840×2160/4096×2160 resolution) interfaces, which can easily access large-screen displays or Projectors are practical in business situations.
CF-SZ6 this notebook's battery design is also light, the measured net weight is only 224g, installation and removal is also very convenient, as long as the slide at the same time on both sides of the bar button, the button at the logo design and non-slip design is also very intimate, From these small details, you can feel the meticulous and careful product design.
1, light! light! light! (weight test)
Panasonic CF-SZ6 should be the world's lightest 12-inch notebook, weighs only 849g. What kind of weight is 849g? For better comparison, we measured the weight of common mineral water. Two bottles of 550ml mineral water weighed 1165g, while the Panasonic CF-SZ6 notebook measured only 832g. According to actual measurement data, this notebook is lighter than the two bottles of mineral water, which is equivalent to the weight of a bottle of mineral water (875g). It can be seen that the lightest in the world is true. It is obviously not possible to carry such a notebook. Any pressure is like carrying a bottle of mineral water with you.
2, step! Step on! Step on! (Pressure resistance test)
The notebooks in the Let's Note series often have strong pressure resistance. The CF-SZ6 has also undergone a 100kgf stress test, and naturally, it is not necessary to say much more about the pressure resistance. However, as a curious person, I decided to test it with my own 65kg weight. When I started to stand up, I still felt awkward in my heart. After actually standing up, I felt that my foot was very solid, my notebook did not undergo any deformation, nor did I boot normally. problem. This feature is very suitable for users who are frequently commuting bus or subway, do not have to worry about the notebook being crushed in a crowded space.
In fact, many people are curious as to why Panasonic wants to make notebooks so strong. Of course, it is from the environment where Panasonic users live. In Japan, due to the development of public transportation, private cars are relatively small. People are more willing to travel by work and transportation, but this also leads to crowded public transportation during peak hours (communicating). Many notebooks are crushed and damaged in the process. The highest damage rate is the LCD screen. Panasonic discovered this situation and made corresponding improvements. The hood-type A-side design was born.
There is an interesting statement about the origin of 100kg pressure. It is reported that Matsushita's early design of the pressure value is 50kg, but there are still many LCD screens were crushed, so Panasonic designers with a pressure tester deliberately to squeeze the peak of the Shinkansen, measured a limit The data, that is, 100kg, since then the pressure of Panasonic notebook will be designed according to the pressure value of 100kg.
3, fall! fall! fall! (fall resistance test)
The notebook mentioned in the introduction has passed a drop test of 76cm, which means that the machine can withstand the impact of falling from a height of 76cm. In order to verify the impact resistance, we let the notebook fall freely from the 76cm place.
At the same time, in order to prevent accidental occurrence, repeated tests were performed.
After several tests, the notebook did not suffer any damage, and it can function as before. The ability to drop is very powerful. I do not know if you have thought about why the height is 76cm? In fact, this is related to the height of the general table, this product is designed to prevent the notebook from inadvertently dropped, resulting in damage and failure. For everyday work and life, the height of the 76cm drop-proof design is very suitable.
Third, hardware and performanceIn terms of hardware configuration, this test prototype used an Intel Core i5-7300U processor (optional), Intel HD Graphics 620 core graphics card, 8GB of memory, and a 256GB solid state drive (optional) on the hard disk. Windows10 Professional Edition system. In general, although the airframe is compact and lightweight, the hardware configuration of the whole machine is also maintained at a relatively high level. At the same time, users can also choose different hardware configuration solutions according to their own needs. This is very user-friendly.
This machine adopts Intel Core i5-7300U processor (clocked at 2.6GHz, Turbo frequency 3.5GHz, cache 3MB), dual-core four threads, thermal design power (TDP) of 15W. The specific performance of the processor will be tested with the CineBench software.
CineBench is a persuasive CPU and graphics test software based on MAXON's award-winning Cinema 4D effects engine for cross-system and platform performance testing. The test includes two items, each for the performance indicators of the graphics card and the processor. From the test results, it can be seen that the single processor of the processor obtains 143cb and multi-core 339cb. The test result shows that the processor is located on the middle model of the mobile platform.
AS SSD Benchmark is an SSD solid-state drive transmission speed tool. This software can test the performance of continuous reading and writing, 4K alignment, 4KB random read and write, and response time, and gives a comprehensive score. We used this software to perform a series of tests on the notebook hard drive. The continuous read speed of the hard drive is 510.88MB/s, and the sustained write speed is 490.60MB/s. The overall performance is quite satisfactory, and it is a good level in the business book.
The PCMark 8 home benchmark contains workloads that reflect typical tasks for typical home users. Home testing includes workloads such as web browsing, authoring, games, photo editing, and video chat. The overall result will give the system a PCMark 8 home test score. Although the Panasonic CF-SZ6 notebook more biased toward mobile office, but in the home benchmark to 3514 points, the overall performance is still very good.
At the same time, we can also use the score ranking to have a general understanding of the performance of the whole machine. From the ranking we can have a deeper understanding of product positioning.
1, endurance ability
Regarding the endurance of this note, the test prototype is equipped with a 6800mAh lithium-ion battery, battery life can reach 14.5 hours, in order to have a general understanding of battery life, we through the PCMark 8 home (Home) and work (Work ) The models were tested for endurance. During the test, the software will cycle through the test items until the battery runs out, giving a relatively realistic battery life. However, it should be noted that PCmark 8 will cycle through all test items under high load conditions. The results obtained are also under cyclic and high load conditions. However, in our daily use, long-term high loads are not common. , so the actual use of time is much higher than the following battery life test results.
The PCMark 8 Work Test can measure the system's ability to perform basic office work tasks. The test items consist primarily of writing documents, browsing websites, creating spreadsheets, and using video chat. The above test items basically cover all aspects of daily work. Under the cyclical operation of the office test, the battery life can reach nearly 7 hours and 27 minutes, and the results are excellent.
For in-depth testing and battery life, we chose PCMark 8 home testing. As an advanced option, home benchmarking includes workloads that reflect typical tasks for typical home users. There are more games and photo editing classes than working tests. Projects, so the consumption of electricity should be greater. From the side of the home test results can be seen, life can reach 4 hours and 46 minutes, through the comparison with the mainstream business of the battery life, presumably you have some understanding.
In fact, another reason for the endurance of this notebook is its built-in power management system. This power management system can easily set the screen brightness and fan speed, and the built-in 8 power solutions such as “high performance†and “power saving†can be switched depending on the application, enabling longer battery life. At the same time, the design of different power modes has also greatly enhanced the battery life.
Of course, if you think that the current battery life (S) is not enough, there is a larger capacity (L) battery to choose from.
2, cooling effect
As mentioned in the previous section, this notebook has a notebook with a single cooling hole on the right side of the fuselage (exquisite and compact appearance is similar to the interface), but also in the material selection is also high strength, good heat dissipation magnesium alloy, But what about its actual cooling capacity? To answer this question, we first used FurMark to perform a baking test on the CF-SZ6 for about 50 minutes, and then tested the temperature on an infrared thermometer. (Note: Originally, FurMark was only used to test the OpenGL performance of the graphics card, but because he was extremely hot and powerful, he could use it as a roaster software. It could allow the graphics card to run out of any temperature that could not be reached by any game. , so that as long as through the test card FurMark test, run the game will not be a problem.)
According to the image generated by the thermometer, we can see that in the process of the roasting machine, the external temperature of this notebook is about 40 degrees, and the quiet running fan almost forgot its existence, which is for a lightweight The notebook is very rare. At the same time, most of the high temperature is concentrated in the vicinity of the heat dissipation hole, and buttons near the heat dissipation part do not feel obvious heat. In terms of temperature data and user experience, this kind of cooling performance is quite outstanding.
1. Some details of CF-SZ6
â— Magnesium alloy material
We also mentioned the magnesium alloy material of this notebook several times. The magnesium alloy is an alloy composed of other elements based on magnesium. Its characteristics are: light weight, good heat dissipation, good shock absorption, and a certain degree of resistance. Erosion and impact resistance, it is the lightest metal in practical metals, high strength, high rigidity. Widely used in portable devices and automotive industry, to achieve the purpose of lightweight. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to understand the reason why magnesium alloy is selected as the material of the fuselage. By utilizing these characteristics of the magnesium alloy, the weight and the structural strength and impact resistance of the notebook are also enhanced while reducing the weight of the body. Better cooling effect can be said to be more effective.
â— Hood structure
Panasonic CF-SZ6 notebook A surface using the car engine cover design, why should this design? A friend familiar with the car must understand that the uplift design of the hood of the car can increase the protection strength of the engine, and it does not need to increase the material thickness. Panasonic borrowed this design from the notebook design process.
â— Computer Setup Utility
The Panasonic PC Settings Utility is a built-in management program. The power management system mentioned above is just one part of it. This program is different from the common management program and can not only show the working status of the current notebook. At the same time, it is also very convenient to set up some common functions, and it can be customized for all aspects. It is very practical.
