screen can be flipped in various notebooks is no longer new now, but in reality, we rarely see anyone using notebooks like this. The reason is that this "looking cool" operation method actually limits the applicable scenario: the notebook is mostly dedicated to its duties, and only a few times will be temporarily used as a tablet. The original intention of the flip screen of
is to expand the way designers and other creative people use laptops, but now it feels a bit unrestrained, which is definitely something that manufacturers don’t want to see. There is naturally motivation when there is demand. Acer has launched a ConceptD3Ezel flip-screen laptop for all creators. How will Acer improve the use of flip screens? Before understanding the answer to this question, let's take a look at the machine's design highlights -
1, 10th generation i7 processor + GeForce GTX1650Ti graphics card, performance control in thin and light notebooks 2. Professional color calibration, accurate color; 4096 level pressure sense, real brushstrokes 3. Ezel axis blessing, play with the new flip screen
built-in application center software, deepen the notebook gameplay
1. Appearance design: a simple appearance but hides many surprises
ConceptD3Ezel gives people a very airy first impression. How do you say this? The pure white color scheme of this laptop shows a fairly pure and transparent feeling due to its magnesium alloy material, exquisite micro-arc oxidation and exclusive coating process. The lines of the fuselage are simple and soothing, and the thickness of the fuselage is only 17.9mm, which adds an elegant temperament. At the same time, this elegance can be easily carried with you. With the help of magnesium alloy material, the ConceptD3Ezel weighs only 1.68kg, and it won’t be too much pressure to carry it with you.
Just put it on the desktop, ConceptD3Ezel's appearance is already impressive enough. However, this will also cause everyone's concern: Will such a pure white laptop become dirty easily? In fact, Acer decided to use micro-arc oxidation and exclusive coating processes not only to meet everyone's visual needs, but also to form a lotus leaf-like hydrophobic layer on the surface of the fuselage, making the machine resistant to stains and wear and wear, and always maintains an elegant temperament.
Open ConceptD3Ezel in the usual way. The first thing that attracts everyone is definitely the 14-inch screen. When we start the machine, we can easily feel the screen for the creators' consideration - its color is bright without losing accuracy.
official said that this screen not only reaches 100% sRGB color gamut, but is also professionally calibrated before leaving the factory to ensure that the screen is ΔE <>
In the color accuracy test of Spyder5Elite Red Spider 0ConceptD3Ezel also achieved a good score of around ΔE2, which means that the color display is relatively correct. We handed the ConceptD3Ezel to colleagues who did design and video experience, and they all said that its screen effects were quite satisfactory.
At the same time, the design colleagues also tried the handwriting function of ConceptD3Ezel. Acer achieved a 4096-level pressure feeling on the ConceptD3Ezel and was paired with a stylus. According to feedback from design colleagues, ConceptD3Ezel's accuracy is quite good, which is not far from the touch of daily creation with paper and pen.
Hearing this, some friends may be worried about whether scratching the screen with a stylus for a long time will cause scratches. To solve this concern, Acer's fifth-generation Corning Gorilla Glass screen for ConceptD3Ezel is fully veneered, which not only greatly improves scratch resistance, but also prevents glare, ensuring that what you see is what you get when creating with a stylus.
Since we talk about the use of stylus, we can follow the trend to understand how ConceptD3Ezel solves the pain points of using flipped screens. In order to give full play to the advantages of flipped screens, manufacturers generally use touch screens for this type of machine. However, the stylus screen shakes in traditional mode, and using a stylus in flat state will sacrifice the input function of the keyboard. This is the fundamental reason why the flip screen is used too frequently.How to use the function of flip the screen when ensuring normal use of the computer has become the main consideration of laptop manufacturers. To this end, Acer uses an Ezel comfort shaft on the ConceptD3Ezel. Rather than saying this is a rotating shaft, it is a bracket with rotation function. Just play with it carefully and we can feel the advantages of this rotary shaft.
Ezel comfort axis allows the screen to be completely separated from the laptop base, laying an extremely convenient foundation for the use of the screen. Based on this advantage, while we flip the screen in various ways, we can still use the machine's screen normally in many cases. At the same time, thanks to the reasonable support of the Ezel comfort axis, when we use a stylus to create on the screen, we will not feel any obvious shaking, and the worries in our hearts will naturally disappear.
Through the Ezel comfort axis, the screen and keyboard can be used with confidence at the same time. This design deserves a historical position in the development of flip-screen notebook products. Acer not only realizes the Ezel comfort shaft design, but also achieves a design that improves the user experience on the keyboard and touchpad. The touch version of
ConceptD3Ezel uses glass material, which not only has a crystal clear look, but also brings a silky feel, so smooth that people forget the existence of the mouse. The ConceptD3Ezel keyboard provides quick screenshots, quick window switching and quick software opening functions to further improve the user experience. Back to the keyboard itself, it uses amber backlight and 1.55mm key travel, which is just right when used, and is quite comfortable.
Finally, let's take a look at the interface design of ConceptD3Ezel. Acer has equipped the SD7.0 ultra-high-speed card slot for the ConceptD3Ezel, which improves the data transmission speed. At the same time, ConceptD3Ezel also provides a 40Gpbs high bandwidth Thunderbolt3 interface to fully welcome future trends. Also welcome to the future is the built-in Wi-Fi6 wireless network card that supports Wi-Fi6, making network connections smoother.
2. Performance: Strong enough, smooth enough
For creators, the body design of ConceptD3Ezel not only meets their taste, but also brings a significant improvement to the actual user experience. Although such a laptop will make people want to continue to use, there are two key points to achieve such a result, namely performance and stability.
In order to meet the performance needs of creators, ConceptD3Ezel is equipped with the tenth generation of Core i7-10705H processor and NVIDIAGeForce GTX1650Ti4G graphics card. This high-performance combination not only proves the ability to output performance during use by manufacturers, but also found that their heating capacity is not very good under high load conditions. Therefore,
we can also enjoy them on thin and flip-screen notebooks. In addition, Intel 10th generation Core standard pressure processor also supports Intel's fast video synchronization technology, which can further improve the efficiency of video production and image editing.
Although the names of these hardware and technologies sound very exciting, ConceptD3Ezel is also equipped with 16G high-frequency memory and a 1T solid-state drive to improve the user experience. However, we will still test through a variety of software to allow everyone to have a more comprehensive understanding of the performance of ConceptD3Ezel.
First of all, in the CINEBENCHR15 test, the tenth-generation Core i7-10750H processor used by ConceptD3Ezel got a score of 205cb on single-core processing, and the multi-core processing test got a score of 1115cb. As a thin and light notebook, it is really good that ConceptD3Ezel can play this processor to such a level.
Excellent processor performance output and smooth data transmission are required to fully function. In the test of solid-state drives, after passing the ASSSD hard disk read and write speed test, the write speed of ConceptD3Ezel is 3083MB/s and the reading speed is 3378MB/s. This result is on a mid-to-high-end notebook and is at the upstream level.
After reading the performance of the processor and solid-state drive, let’s take a look at the performance of the graphics card. Now everyone knows that graphics cards can greatly improve the speed of video preview, image rendering, rendering (a renderer that supports GPU acceleration) in software such as PS, CAD, 3DsMax.So what kind of performance can the GTX1650 TiMax-Q graphics card used by ConceptD3Ezel deliver?
Let’s first look at the theoretical results measured by 3DMark. In the 3DMARKFireStrike test, the final score of 7970 was measured, which is the normal level of the GTX1650TiMax-Q graphics card.
. In actual applications, we have selected some professional software for practical testing. First, let’s take a look at the Lightroom test. The test items are enhanced by photo details.
The above picture is as an example. The right side is the original picture, and the left side is the details enhanced. It can be clearly seen that part of the original picture is darker, and the details are blurred, so the font cannot be seen clearly, but after the details are enhanced, the picture quality is clear, so the text details can be clearly seen. ConceptD3Ezel is very fluent in image processing, and rendering is not stuttered at all.
Let’s take a look at Premiere test. The test software is Adobe PremiereProCC, which is a powerful video editing software. According to our long-term video work experience, whether the video clipping in PremiereProCC is smooth or smooth, it mainly depends on the smoothness of the editing timeline and the time and time-consuming to export the final video.
In the test, we selected a 10-minute 1080P video material for later rendering tests that mainly add special effects and color adjustment. As can be seen from the above picture, with the help of ConceptD3Ezel, the real-time preview effect is very smooth.
To further improve the performance of ConceptD3Ezel, Acer has configured an application center for the machine. After careful exploration, we can find that this software can not only adjust the performance output of different scenarios, but also divide the screen display, further improving the convenience of use.
After reading the performance, let’s pay attention to the cooling performance of ConceptD3Ezel. We used AIDA64 for stress tests in the test. After 20 minutes, the power consumption of the ConceptD3Ezel processor was stable at around 45W and the frequency was stable at around 3.28GHz. There was no obvious frequency reduction. At this time, the processor core temperature was controlled at around 75°C. The ability of
to have such stable performance is closely related to the cooling design achieved by Acer in ConceptD3Ezel. The ConceptD3Ezel is equipped with a VortexFlow eddy current heat dissipation solution. This heat dissipation solution is based on a dual fan design and is combined with the multi-channel design of the body to achieve rapid heat discharge. At the same time, the ConceptD3Ezel's body has a butt design, which can further increase the air flux and always ensure the heat dissipation effect.
Summary:
are all flip-screen computers. Acer ConceptD3Ezel allows the "flip" design to play a greater role through a simple bracket design. This seems like a very simple idea, but it is not easy to do it well and easy to use. Acer ConceptD3Ezel is able to deliver such a user experience, which is enough to reflect Acer's strong accumulation of design experience in laptop products. If you are really interested in flip-screen design and hope it can be used in as many places as possible, then it really doesn't make sense not to choose the Acer ConceptD3Ezel.
