"Environmental Protection" is a word that I often heard in my life in the past, but now it has become a new dimension for many manufacturers to consider in the research and development, production and sales of consumer electronic products . However, from the perspective of consumer experience, the environmental protection concept practiced by many manufacturers is not perfect, such as reducing charging accessories in the packaging, which makes some consumers need to spend extra money to buy the accessories that should be included.
"Promoting environmental protection" and "consumer experience" should not be a relationship between choices. Among many technology companies, Acer can be said to be the clearest brand that conveys this concept. In its notebook product line, Acer Hummingbird Future Environmental Protection Edition, which was newly added this year, is the best representative of technology hardware that takes into account both "environmental protection" and "experience".
new shell made of PCR environmentally friendly material
Acer Hummingbird Future Environmentally friendly version notebook reveals many differences from traditional laptop products. The first thing that is easiest to perceive is the difference in the material. Currently, in the application of overall notebook materials, metal still occupies a mainstream position. Many high-end products have even introduced materials such as magnesium alloy , carbon fiber , etc.
This product uses PCR environmentally friendly material. Its full name is Post Consumer Recycling, which is mainly derived from plastics recycled and extracted after daily consumption, such as daily chemicals, electrical appliances, automobiles, etc. In other words, this laptop may be made of plastic recycled from other laptops, which improves the utilization rate of plastic materials. The shell part of the
product uses 30% PCR plastic, and the key cap part uses 50% PCR plastic, because when applying these materials, Acer also tested the overall structural strength and durability to ensure that there is no life and durability problems during use due to the application of new materials. If you look closely at the shell part, you will find that there is a crystal-like texture on it, and it is accompanied by the natural color of the material itself, which looks very special.
In the lower right of the keyboard, Acer has added a PCR environmentally friendly logo to the product, and uses stamping technology instead of traditional stickers. This can also reduce the use of paper, plastic, and adhesives. It should be said that the environmental protection concept is truly integrated into the detailed design.
In addition, you can also see a small easter egg in the keyboard area. The characters of the E and R keys on the keyboard are inverted and the colors are also differentiated. This is not a processing error, but a design element specially added by Acer. The two characters correspond to the prefix roots and meanings of Reduce reduction, Reuse reuse and Recycle recycling. They not only promote the concept of environmental protection, but also incorporate a unique identification design into the product.
In the actual experience, the author found that PCR plastic has good toughness. Pressing the edge of the top cover with your finger will show some deformation. The entire notebook has a thicker structure than similar all-metal products, which is also to avoid problems such as breaking. If you find that the top cover is a bit curved when opening the top cover with one hand, don’t worry at all. This is a normal situation.
As an old player in the field of laptops, Acer has not forgotten the detailed design of interfaces, keyboards, etc. The interfaces of this product are very comprehensive, including RJ45 network port, HDMI video output interface, 3 USB-A interface, 1 USB-C interface, and 3.5mm headphone microphone two-in-one interface.
As a 15.6-inch laptop product that uses new materials and has a comprehensive interface, the measured weight of Acer Beebird Future Environmental Protection Edition notebook is 1.84Kg, which is basically at the mainstream level. Therefore, in the dimension of portable experience, this product supported by environmental protection attributes will not bring additional burden.
's latest processor is supported by, with full cooling design and full score
In terms of core performance, Acer Humming Bird Future Environmental Protection Edition laptop uses the latest generation of Core mobile processor of Intel . Titanium Media got the i7-1195G7 with 16GB memory version. This processor has 4 cores and 8 threads specifications, and a single core can reach up to 5.0GHz. The GPU is also a full-blooded version of 96-unit Xe core graphics. It should be said that there is no pressure for daily office work and some mainstream online games. In terms of
testing, the overall performance is Master Lu as a reference. In addition, CPU-Z and hard disk scoring software are used to test the CPU performance and hard disk read and write performance respectively. The running score of Master Lu of the whole machine reached 829,000 points, which is at the same level as other models equipped with this processor. In the CPU-Z test, the single-core and multi-core scores were 667 and 3288. In terms of hard disk, it was equipped with an Kingston NVMe solid-state hard disk , with a reading speed of 2251MB/s and a writing speed of 387MB/s.
It needs to be noted here that the Kingston OM8PDP3512B-AA1 hard disk equipped with this machine showed stronger performance than the general test in the linear read test of AIDA 64 (can reach a reading speed of 2800MB/s), but the write speed should be due to the engineering machine, and the normal level should be in the range of 1000~1200MB/s.
After using environmentally friendly materials, heat dissipation is also a problem that will be encountered in the design of this product. If you can disassemble the back cover, you can see that even if it is just a product that uses nuclear display and low-voltage U, Acer still has a dual heat pipe + dual fan design for it. The heat dissipation is very luxurious. Even this heat dissipation module presses TDP standard pressure products above 35W. The "pile" of
cooling configuration is also intuitively reflected in the test. In the AIDA 64 stress test, the CPU temperature did not exceed 70℃ after 15 minutes, and the CPU performance release can also reach a level of about 35W. In addition to being very attentive in cooling, Acer has also done a very good job in exploring the potential of this processor.
keyboard area temperature, the hottest top air outlet is around 46℃, and the center of the keyboard area is maintained at about 33℃. When you touch it by hand, most areas can be maintained below 30℃, and the temperature cannot even be felt at the edge of the keyboard. Therefore, in terms of heat dissipation, whether it is design, performance, performance release, or somatosensory, Acer Hummingbird Future Environmental Protection Edition notebooks are done very well. In addition to the above advantages, this product also has some "small regrets". It has not mentioned its screen before. This 15.6-inch screen is still very environmentally friendly and uses a 99% recyclable panel.
In addition, it is equipped with IPS full-fitting technology and supports DC dimming. The screen-to-body ratio of 81.4% is also considered the mainstream level. In terms of color accuracy, this product is also very good. In the 24-color color accuracy test, it got an average score of △E=1.6.
However, in terms of overall color and brightness performance, this screen does have room for improvement. This 8bit color depth display panel from AUO has only 66% coverage for the sRGB color gamut, and 49% coverage for the DCI-P3 color gamut. When connected to the power supply, the maximum brightness of the full screen is 235nit. For a product priced at the 5,000 yuan price range, screen performance will be its shortcoming.
In addition to the screen, Acer Hummingbird Future Environmental Protection Edition laptop has also performed relatively in terms of battery life. The battery capacity in the machine has reached 50.29Wh, which is still a little smaller for a 15.6-inch product. And from the overall space layout, Acer has reserved a lot of space, and the battery capacity should be increased to more than 60Wh, but it is estimated that it is due to considerations such as weight and heat dissipation. It is estimated that these will be supplemented in the next generation of products.
summary
The overall performance of Acer Hummingbird Future Environmental Protection Edition notebook is beyond expectations. As the first product mainly based on environmentally friendly materials, Acer has shown a high level of maturity in terms of performance, heat dissipation, function and other designs. This also makes people see that as a big brand, its attitude towards environmental protection should not be achieved at the expense of the actual user experience.
After using environmentally friendly materials, Acer's price starting at 4,999 yuan for the product also allows more users to have the ability to access this product. So from this perspective, Acer Hummingbird Future Environmental Protection Edition notebooks also represent a new technological trend in future notebook products. The materials can be replaced at the same cost to achieve the goal of environmental protection. (This article first published Titanium Media APP)
