Biba evaluation room has tested countless computers this year. Which computer's keyboard is the most satisfying to me?
Single-in-hand , my favorite is ALIENWARE x17 R1:
It uses a short-axis mechanical keyboard designed by Cherry, taking into account the stability of keycaps + rebound strength + long keystroke . The press feedback is also very clear, and the alien's styling design is so cool!
Single-in-one layout , my favorite is Lenovo. Savior Series:
It almost perfectly adapts to gamers. While the arrow keys are huge, it is stuffed into a normal layout numerical keyboard, which is worth learning from all competitors.
Today, our protagonist is a relatively low-key notebook with a relatively small audience, but its keyboard design is the one I am most satisfied with this year's review, taking into account the feel and layout:
ThinkPad P15v 2021
Right side of the body
Left side of the body
Back of the body
Its configuration is as follows:
i7-11800H Processor
T600 4GB Independent graphics card
16GB 3200MHz Memory
512GB SSD
15.6 inches 1080p resolution 100% sRGB color gamut IPS screen
thick 24.55mm
body weight 2.14kg
adapter weight 477g
currently priced at 9999 yuan
Its advantages and disadvantages are as follows:
advantages!
1, the keyboard feels very good
2, there are many types of interfaces
3, and the after-sales service is good. It provides one-year door-to-door service
disadvantages!
1, the heat dissipation performance is average, the performance release is relatively conservative
2, the standard is equipped with a single channel 16GB memory, and
3 must be upgraded. The Thunderbolt 4 interface does not support the PD charging function
[Upgrade Suggestions]
This laptop is not difficult to disassemble. Loosen the bottom screw and use the curling blade to uncover the back cover.
comes with single channel 16GB DDR4 3200MHz memory standard. If necessary, you can replace the memory yourself.
SSD capacity is 512GB, model is 2300 of Magnesium, supports PCIe 3.0x4 and NVMe. The machine has two M.2 2280 slots. If necessary, you can install or replace the SSD yourself.
[Purchase suggestions]
1, users who have a basic need for professional cards
2, have high requirements for laptop keyboard
3, and have low requirements for portability
ThinkPad P series represents its professional mobile workstation products. It is normal for this type of professional equipment to be sold for 30,000 to 40,000, so P15v is one of the relatively introductory ones.
screen , this 1080p screen measured color gamut volume is 104% sRGB, the color gamut coverage is 98.6% sRGB, the average ΔE 1.43, and the maximum ΔE 3.23.
battery life , it is equipped with a 68Wh battery, and the PCmark10 battery life is 7 hours and 12 minutes. (Scene: Modern Office)
interface , there is Thunderbolt 4 and charging port on the left side of the body, and there are two USB 3.1Gen1, RJ45 network ports, HDMI 2.0, SD card reader (UHS-II) and 3.5mm audio interfaces on the right.
noise aspect , its full-load decibel value is 47.2dB.
ThinkPad P15v's initial price is 8999 yuan . After Double Eleven, it rose to 9999 yuan . You can buy the version of 32GB memory + 2T hard disk .
So if you want a real mobile workstation, this computer is the choice to enter the industry.
But if you want cost-effectiveness and want to buy stronger core performance at the same price, then this type of computer is not suitable for you.
[The Conclusion of the Pig King’s Conscience]
The above picture is a real photo of ThinkPad P15v 2021 disassembly, a combination of dual heat pipes and single fan.
Room temperature 25℃
Reflectivity 1.0
BIOS version: N38ET27W (1.08)
In full load state, the CPU temperature is up to 101℃, stable at around 99℃, power consumption 40W, frequency 2.7GHz.
graphics card temperature is 84.6℃, frequency is 1305MHz. (The software cannot read the accurate power consumption of T600)
Try to bake the StressFPU alone, the core temperature is maintained at 90℃, the power consumption is 40W, and the frequency is 2.9GHz.
Swipe left to see the back temperature
Copying machine back temperature
Surface temperature as shown in the figure above. The maximum temperature of the keyboard key cap is 48.1℃ in the upper area of the keyboard, and the nearest WASD key is about 44.1℃ and the direction key is 38.3℃.
Generally speaking, the heat dissipation performance of ThinkPad P15v is average, the overall keyboard has a heat feeling, and the full-load CPU temperature is high. It is speculated that the cooling specifications of dual heat pipes + single fan are smaller.
The picture above is P15v's keyboard. To be honest, since there is no mechanical axis, the key stroke is not as good as AW x17, and there is no sense of paragraph, but its keycaps are comfortable in arc, stability and rebound strength are also top-level.
again, its direction keys are not as big as the Lenovo Saveer, but this computer is not positioned as a gaming laptop, and the direction keys are already considered large among non-game laptop products, and the numeric keypad has not been compressed and smaller, which is better than Saveer.
ThinkPad P15v is equipped with the most satisfying keyboard, but I can't be happy for two reasons:
1 and keyboard compatibility is very poor. The
P15v keyboard design is very good, but not to mention that the friends follow the examples, it is difficult for even ThinkPad to use this keyboard itself.
Its thickness is too thick, and there is a great demand for C-side space. Only some "old-style design" ThinkPads can plug this keyboard. The keyboard set of
2 and is the same as last year.
with high emotional intelligence, this keyboard is "to respond to changes with the same change."
said with low emotional intelligence, this exposed the stagnation of laptop keyboard design. The keyboard of
P15v has not changed compared to previous years, but it is still the king, which shows that the laptop keyboard lacks competition.
In my opinion, the keyboard design of laptops is only innovative in high-end products, and in the mainstream price range, let alone progress, some H-name manufacturers are still making big strides.
external keyboard can only be a patch solution. Laptops are mobile devices. Their own keyboard must be taken seriously. I hope next year I will see an excellent and brand new design laptop keyboard!
