The quality of OLED is very good, bright enough, color accurate, HDR support is no problem, 5800H + RTX 3050 performance may not be suitable for playing games with productivity There is no problem
Today our protagonist is ASUS Intrepid Pro15, which I think is currently the most cost-effective HDR content creative tool. The reason is simple: R7-5800H + RTX3050 has good heat dissipation performance, and the OLED screen has good color accuracy. And real HDR, how about its actual performance, this is MDT's complete evaluation of it.
The full text is based on Dreadnought Pro15: Ryzen 7 5800H + RTX 3050 Laptop version, OLED screen FHD resolution, 512GB SSD, 16G DDR4 memory, the initial price of 6,299 yuan.

Design and experience
_p5p1 is about 7.9
p0
_p5p2p About mm, only the A side uses a relatively high-strength metal material, so the screen frame is not easy to be twisted and realized.
On the left side of the metal top cover is the new Logo+ICON. It looks very distinctive, and this design can also make the screen part of the fuselage look thinner, it It also supports one-handed opening and closing, but it is reasonable for 15-inch products.
Open the top cover, there will be some gaps between the screen frame and the top cover on the B side. Due to the price, it does not cover the screen with a one-piece glass, which looks a little delicate weak. The surface of the screen is mirrored. We measured its reflectivity to reach 6.7%. It is also considered to be high in the mirror screen, so we still need to pay attention to the ambient light reflection in daily use, but the peak brightness of OLED can be 600nits Can make up for some of the shortcomings.
It is worth mentioning a little more about the screen. Let’s first talk about the advantages of OLED. In SDR, its full-screen brightness is close to 400nit. If it is HDR mode, the full-screen brightness will be even greater. Higher,Reached 423nit, this number has surpassed most LCD screens of the same price, if you look at its HDR area brightness can reach 602nit, so it is indeed very good.
The second is color. Asus said that the Intrepid Pro 15 has factory calibration. We measured that its P3 color accuracy in the default mode is also quite good. It can achieve an average ΔE 1.2 and a maximum ΔE 2.8 level, which is good.
but it does not switch the global color mode by default, only a P3 color gamut, if this is an LCD screen, then if your software does not support color management, you can see The picture may be more gorgeous.
However, the Fearless Pro15 is an OLED, which does not have the gray screen phenomenon of the current fake LCD after HDR is turned on. After HDR is turned on, all SDR content will be limited to sRGB, and its color accuracy is also No problem:
We measured that after turning on HDR, the average ΔE of Fearless Pro15 is also very low, only 1.5, and only individual colors exceed 3, which is still very good. , Don’t worry about oversaturation at all.
In addition, there is another advantage to turning on HDR. Many people see OLED and say PWM blindness on conditioned reflection. We choose to do it at the most obvious brightness of strobe In contrast, if HDR is not turned on on the right, the obvious stroboscopic flicker index of 480Hz is as high as 0.334, but the fluctuation depth is greatly reduced after HDR is turned on on the left.At the same time, the PWM has also become 60Hz. If it is other brightness, the image of human eyes will only be smaller.
Finally, the screen resolution of Intrepid Pro15 is 1080P. It is well known that OLED is a bit worse than LCD because of the problem of sub-pixel arrangement. We observe with a microscope and we will find that Intrepid uses deformed RGB- S arrangement:
is not the same as the OLED on the mobile phone, but its pixels are also shared, so it is still not as fine as the LCD display text. This is this machine The biggest disadvantage. But then again, at RMB 6,299, are the shortcomings still the shortcomings?
We continue back to the design part, the camera of the Intrepid Pro15 is equipped with a physical protection mask. At present, most mid-to-high-end business notebooks use this structure to avoid privacy leakage Unfortunately, the fearless Pro15 does not support Windows Hello face recognition unlocking.
Fortunately, the power button in the upper right corner of the keyboard integrates the fingerprint recognition function, which can achieve the effect of turning on + unlocking in one go, and the experience is not worse than face recognition. The overall layout of the keyboard continues the previous design style and feel of ASUS . The only difference is that there are more elements in the "Enter" key position of the Intrepid series, which correspond to the A-side ICON.
Intrepid Pro15 has a numeric keypad compared to the 14-inch version. The touchpad has a larger area and has a backlight.It's a pity that the arrow keys have a half-height design, which is very slender and easy to accidentally touch with larger hands.
Let’s look at the interface again. For a 15-inch notebook with a thickness close to 18mm, the Intrepid Pro 15 is basically equipped except for the absence of a network port. However, the interface protocol and The layout is almost meaningless. For example, there are two USB 2.0 ports on the left that are useless except for plugging in the mouse and keyboard.
There are more ports on the right, followed by 120W DC port, USB 3.2 Gen 1, HDMI, USB 3.2 Gen1 protocol Type-C, Micro SD card slot and headset The interface, that is to say, the main commonly used interfaces are placed on the right side, which will also affect the use of the mouse when an external monitor or a U disk is inserted. The C port does not yet support PD charging. Comprehensively speaking, it is fearless in terms of layout and support protocols. Pro15 still has a lot of room for improvement.
internal design
br5
Want more. The screws use three different length specifications. Unscrew the 10 screws at the bottom to see the complete internal structure, and the disassembly is relatively simple.
Fearless Pro15 motherboard adopts a "big + small" structure design,The overall internal space utilization needs to be improved. The small board on the right is two USB 2.0, which are connected to the big board through a cable. The overall heat dissipation structure is a dual fan + dual heat pipe rear air outlet design. The fan blades are dense, and the diameter of the right fan is larger. Judging from the official power consumption of 70W, the heat dissipation should not be a big problem.
In terms of scalability, the Intrepid Pro15 is a bit worse. The memory is onboard. There is only one M.2 2280 hard drive that can be replaced. This hard drive in my hand is equipped with Hynix (HFM512GD3JX013N). We It also tested its read and write speed:
As you can see from the figure, the maximum read and write speed of the hard disk is around 3.3GB/s, and the write can reach 2.8GB/s. Around, there will be certain fluctuations in the reading and writing rate for a long time.
Heat dissipation and noise
According to the convention, we first perform CINEBENCH R15 CPU _p to show the performance of the CPU _p separately for continuous load test.
As can be seen from the figure, the R7 5800H equipped with the Intrepid Pro15 is relatively stable compared to the 20 consecutive runs. The data has almost no fluctuations, the highest can reach 1999cb, the lowest 1910cb, the difference is around 89. The ultimate meaning of the continuous R15 test is to record the performance changes caused by heat dissipation, so we also recorded the power consumption and temperature fluctuations of the CPU under separate load:
You can see from the figure ,Intrepid Pro15 CPU long-term load power consumption is stable at about 54W, the CPU temperature is relatively conservative, only 86°C, and the frequency is about 3.36GHz.
The MDT test includes the temperature of the additional air outlet of the fuselage, which can be seen from the Air Vent temperature (that is, the orange line) in the figure above, which is also used to assist in judging the heat dissipation efficiency of a machine's heat dissipation system the elements of.
K value is the comprehensive thermal conductivity index after considering the power. MDT believes that under extreme load conditions, if the air outlet temperature is closer to the CPU core temperature in the machine, then the notebook’s cooling system can be more effective The K value will be higher if the heat of the heat source such as CPU or GPU is taken out of the fuselage.
Dreadnought Pro15 has a K value of about 1.38 when the fan is in high-efficiency mode. The overall heat dissipation efficiency is quite satisfactory relative to the size of the fuselage, which is between the gaming laptop and the thin and light laptop.
We continue to look at the keyboard surface temperature and noise performance under extreme conditions through double baking:
The power consumption of the single baking RTX 3050 can be stable at room temperature of 24°C Maintained at about 50W, the temperature of the GPU is only around 66°C. The dual-bake CPU+GPU can reach about 35W + 35W, and the power consumption of the whole machine is the same as the official 70W data. At this time, the CPU temperature is about 82°C, and the GPU is 67°C. After the internal temperature stabilized, we recorded the keyboard surface temperature:
It can be seen from the keyboard thermal imaging that the average temperature of the keyboard is not very high at around 33°C. The highest temperature is only 42°C,The palm rest position is almost the same as the room temperature, and the overall temperature performance of the keyboard is still acceptable. Of course, the three aspects of dual baking, K value and thermal imaging also reflect that the power consumption design of the fearless Pro15 is somewhat conservative.
In terms of noise performance, the double-bake fan full-speed operation noise is 47.2dBA, which is only lower than the average level of the game book, and higher than the tested Xiaomi Pro x Around 3dBA.
theoretical performance and game performance
Some time ago, we evaluated the Xiaomi Mi 11 processor with ProH X 370. In addition to the H35 laptop processor, we used the H35 processor. The overall feeling is pretty good. To be honest, I have been using this machine all the time. To put it bluntly, I use this OLED. The 11370H processor is not good enough, this should not be a demand it can afford.
So when I saw the Intrepid Pro15, my eyes lit up, so I also look forward to the performance of the Intrepid Pro15 Ryzen 7 5800H + RTX 3050. What will the actual performance be? Let’s look at the processor through CINEBENCH R23. Performance:
Dreadnought Pro15 single core score can reach 1387 pst, multi-core power consumption is 11829, which is a normal level of 54W.
In the test of 3DMARK ,The maximum thread of CPU Profile is 6147 points, and the score of Time Spy is 4630.
Dreadnought Pro15 does not support direct connection to a standalone display. RTX 3050 is also a relatively entry-level standalone display, but after all, it is a standalone display, so for most online games, smooth operation will not be a big problem. As usual, we measured three games, frame rate performance for reference.
Forza Horizon Four
First of all, it is still Forza Motorsport
Forza horizon 4
Tomb Raider: Shadow
Tomb Raider The average frame rate of high special effects mode can reach 63 FPS, which is considered to be able to run smoothly.
Rainbow Six: Siege
Rainbow Six High Special Effect Mode Dreadnought Pro15 can reach 157 FPS, smooth running without pressure.
productivity test:
5800H + 3050 More is reflected in the performance of the heavy productivity of image editing and video editing,For OFFICE family bucket and daily office, the fearless Pro15 does not have any pressure. From the score performance of PCMARK10, it can also be seen that the benchmark test has 6422 points and the application test has reached 12623 points.
achieved 6819 points in UL Procyon PS and LR image editing and batch processing tests, video editing also reached 3806 points, compared to most games with 100W+ power consumption The gap is not very big.
charging and battery life
15h compared to the battery life of 63 inches, not fearless in terms of battery life. It's big, the actual battery life performance is 115nit brightness, the highest can only reach about 5 hours, this performance is not good.
As for charging, the maximum power can reach about 62W, but the duration is not long, it can reach 42% in 30 minutes, 67% in 1 hour, and it takes at least 130 minutes to fully charge , The charging efficiency is relatively general.
MDT Summary
Intrepid Pro15 has a clear tendency,At an acceptable price, provide creative content creators, especially users who need to produce HDR content, with an excellent machine. After this round of testing, I think it has done it.
The quality of OLED is very good, bright enough, accurate color, and HDR support is no problem. The performance of 5800H + RTX 3050 may not be suitable for playing games, but it is not a problem for productivity.
can only be used because of the price. It does not support C port charging and cannot use C port to output video. It is really a pity, but then again, the 6299 starting machine, you can’t ask for too much, if You want a better experience, and ASUS Lingyao Pro series is waiting for you.
