is approaching Double Eleven, and everyone is beginning to look forward to which products will be price-cut promotions. Here are three things to be clear:
, No one knows the final price of Double Eleven, including , the department responsible for pricing, because the game between platforms + manufacturers is changing rapidly, and price adjustment plans may be adjusted at any time.
, , and , computers with severely out of stock are very likely to conduct big promotions. If they do it, the only reason is to "lose money and make publicity."
, products have begun to iterate, and the probability of promotion is higher. For example, the low-voltage U product line in the 10th generation Core . (The 11th generation Core low voltage U has been gradually launched)
is on the market at this new product. When the old product is withdrawn, a new product has been released, and the "First Wave" has begun to promote it. How did it perform after the price cut? Today we will briefly analyze:
Lenovo Xiaoxin Air14 2020

right side
Its configuration is as follows:
i5-1035G1 processor
MX350 2GB independent graphics card
16GB 3200MHz memory
512GB solid-state hard drive
14 inch 1080p resolution 100%sRGB color gamut IPS screen
battery capacity 56.5Wh
thick 16.9mm
body weight 1.39kg
adapter weight 342g
currently priced at 4599 yuan
Its advantages and disadvantages are as follows:
Advantages!
1, the screen quality is good, and it uses DC dimming
2, supports pure core display output and mixed output to switch
3. It was the first to release low-latency 3200MHz memory, which is not easy to have
disadvantages!
1, the only Type-Ch interface will be occupied by the charging function
2, the keyboard temperature is higher under high load
3, and it is not equipped with WiFi6 network card
[Upgrade Suggestions]
This laptop is not difficult to disassemble. Remove the bottom screw to remove the back cover.
dual-channel 16GB memory can meet most uses, and the memory cannot be replaced on-board. The capacity of
SSD is 512GB, supports PCIe 3.0x4 and NVMe. If necessary, you can replace the SSD yourself.
[Purchase Suggestions]
1, high requirements for screen quality
2, high requirements for memory
3, low demand for Type-C expansion
Lenovo Xiaoxin Air14 2020 is the first laptop to launch the 10th generation Core and MX350, which was a novel product back then.
screen , the actual measured color gamut volume is 106.5% sRGB, the color gamut coverage is 99% sRGB, the average △E is 1.9, and the maximum △E is 3.64.
interface . Although the only Type-C interface of the entire machine supports full-function adaptation (PD+DP+data), it has been occupied by the charger and does not support the Thunderbolt 3 expansion. Fortunately, the body already has two full-size USB interfaces, one HDMI and one SD card slot.
battery life test score is 8 hours and 54 minutes. (Scene: Modern Office)
Noise , its regular full-load decibel value is 45.9dB, and it is 47.8dB after turning on strong heat dissipation, which is a general level.
Although 2021 is not yet reached, the 2021 Xiaoxin Air14 has been released. The 11th generation i5+MX450 graphics card is 5,299 yuan, which is 700 yuan more expensive than the current Xiaoxin Air14 2020 model.
From the perspective of cost-effectiveness, it is recommended to purchase the Xiaoxin Air14 Ryzen Edition (3999 yuan), or simply add money to the new model. The 2020 independent graphics version is in a slightly awkward situation now.
But if you had bought it long ago, its performance was OK before, so don't worry.
[Test that looks big]
The picture above is a real photo of Xiaoxin Air14 2020 disassembly, a combination of dual heat pipes single fan.
Room temperature 25℃
reflectivity 1.00
BIOS version: DSCN20WW (V1.06)
For thin and light notebooks, we used a low-load Stress CPU + Furmark for stress testing.
In full load state, the maximum temperature of the double-baked CPU is 82℃, stable at 75℃, power consumption is 14W, and frequency is 2.0GHz.
graphics card temperature is up to 68℃ and frequency is 1594.5MHz. The surface temperature of
is shown in the figure above. The maximum temperature of the keyboard key cap is 45.6℃, the WASD key area is around 42℃, and the direction key is 29.4℃.The left wrist rest temperature is 33.5℃.
Generally speaking, the surface temperature performance of Xiaoxin Air14 2020 is average, because it adopts a single large fan + dual heat pipe heat dissipation strategy, and the heat source is concentrated near common keys, and the user experience will be affected.
When I commented on the 2020 Xiaoxin Air14, the CPU was upgraded from the 8.5 generation to the 10th generation, and the MX250 graphics card was upgraded to the MX350. The former was upgraded to the process, and the latter also had clear performance improvements, and everything was so beautiful.
Now 8 months have passed . Unexpectedly, the 10th generation Core and MX350 have both iterated rapidly. This speed is relatively rare in previous years. The 11th generation Core and MX450 graphics cards are here!
The poster above is the 2021 Xiaoxin Air14. You can see that the CPU and graphics card have been upgraded. Judging from the keyboard, interface layout and thickness and weight, the 2021 mold should not have major changes.
, but if you pay 700 yuan, you can get the new i5 processor with a surge in single-core performance, and the MX450 graphics card with with a performance , which can kill the core of . It feels like it is worth the money.
However, Double Eleven has not officially arrived yet. God knows how much room for a 10th generation Core laptop has to reduce the price. I suggest that students who want to buy computers in the near future will endure it. Maybe there will be surprises at that time.
