The total number of tests was divided into the following sections.
1 Introduction
Thanks aunt first, thanks Dell and Intel for this opportunity
This is my second Dell notebook. The first one is the m3800 (was issued in the original) which was wooted in the woot sea last year. In fact, last year when you bought the m3800, you actually considered the Ling Yue series. The colors are very personal. The price Also relatively civilians. But in the end the queen chose the xps shell version m3800 with a higher face value.
But now the Ling Yue series has been greatly updated. At the COMPUTEX Taipei International Computer Show 2016, on the first day of the conference, Dell launched the 13-inch to 17-inch Inspiron Ling Yue 3000, 5000 and 7000 series. The update, and the launch of the combo cube series became a highlight of the show.
One of the most recent releases was the Ling Yue Rubik's Cube for the mainstream consumer market.
2. Unpacking
Not much to say, first come out of the box. Unlike some pure yellow paper packaging, Ling Yue 5000 simple white and bright Logo match is still very feel
Energy-efficient logo at the top, level 2 and intel logo
The side is a number of product identification. The manufacturer is Chengdu Wistron
After opening the box is the first layer of power
Take out the power first, it is very compact, the power cord comes with a storage strap
Power adapter is 45w
Pull out the power storage box, the following is the protagonist of this article. Both sides are fixed with a protective paper shell
There are three packs of voucher in the box, quick use instructions and safety information. It should be due to the lack of CD-ROM drives. Now the CD-ROMs are not equipped. The official website is also well downloaded. The warranty also includes 3 years of remote diagnosis after the consumer service repair service
After getting it out of the plastic film, it feels very small but delicate but yet stable. The dark gray tone, though not the metal shell, looks very metallic, with a matte finish, and the feel is very good. It doesn't have the kind of cold metal.
The overall design feels a little like xps
The A-face Logo is centered, and the edges and corners are clearly defined. Although the overall size of the 13-inch is small, it does not lose its sense of prudent. Because it can rotate 360 ​​degrees, the axis is not covered by the A surface like the xps series, but the size of the design is appropriate, regardless of the angle. Did not undermine the overall beauty.
The back design is very simple. The integral back cover is fixed with 9 screws. The front and back are each a long rubber non-slip support bar. The overall color is uniform and harmonious. The sticker has a genuine windows label, service number and quick service code.
The front and left two openings are flared and the details of the opening and grid are well handled
The rear center is the heat vent
Seen from the side, it is slim. Appropriate tilt angle and edge arc design are also very eye-catching. From the left are the power button, volume button, sd card reader, USB 2.0 and Noble security lock security slot
Function buttons feel light. The first time you see the power button position on the right front, followed by the volume adjustment, a bit unaccustomed to, the possibility of misuse. And the F2&F3 on the keyboard has a volume shortcut, repeated
The other side is the power connector from left to right, HDMI v1.4a, two USB 3.0 (one of which supports Power Share, which is the shutdown charging) and headphone jack
This price, regardless of material, process or overall texture is very delicate, Dell's workmanship is evident.
The front is easy to open and the design is easy to open with one hand. It is also a humanized design. However, the damping is still a little bigger.
There are not many things, come to a large group photo.
Power weight 261g
Body weight 1572g
The weight of the entire trip is 1833g, so-called thin and light, good portability, and the travel burden is not large
As for its thinness, the official figure is high x wide x deep: 19.5 mm – 20.4 mm x 324.8 mm x 224.4 mm. Below is a visual comparison of 1 coin.
The new machine has a protective film between the screen and the keyboard...
To the attitude of a regular notebook, C face is very neat, touchpad and keyboard occupy a reasonable proportion.
The left palm top tab shows the features of the Ling Yue Rubik's Cube 5000, multi-mode hinges, touch screen, 2usb 3.0 interface, hdmi, 13.3-inch screen and Waves Maxxaudio Pro sound system
Right palm rest is an intel i5 logo sticker
An integrated chocolate keyboard with clear fonts, moderate keystrokes, and quiet typing. But if you have a backlight, it's perfect.
Since it can be transformed into a flat panel, the edge of the B-surface is protected and the screen is recessed inside.
There are four bumps on the side of the C surface, which can effectively protect the keyboard from friction
180-degree legs, no pressure
Tent mode.. Use scenarios for different modes.. See part.5
360-degree hinge, notebook immediately becomes flat mode, the keyboard will automatically lock
The whole machine has only 3 lights: the power of the small green light
Capitalization lock light on the keyboard
And the front smiles easily open and close below the power/hard disk indicator
3. Configuration, performance and life
This section is divided into 4 summaries
a. configuration running points and winrar, photoshop, lol, watching pioneer pioneer
b. USB3.0 / network card / infrared camera hardware test
c. Temperature/noise
d. Endurance and charging speed
a. Configure running points
In terms of configuration, the Dell Ling Yue Magic Cube combo variant 5000 series equipped with the sixth generation of Intel® CoreTM i5 processor, i5-6200u is the sixth generation low-power i5, skylake core, 2.3GHz frequency can be Turbo Boost Core to 2.8GH. 2 core 4 threads, 14nm process only 15W power consumption, the lowest consumption at low frequency only 7w, ​​This is a necessary prerequisite for long battery life. Integrated HD520 Core Graphics. The more the spirit of the 5000 equipped Is DDR 4 - 2133 4G memory, its frequency performance gain whether it is for CPU or integrated graphics can be higher than DDR3.
Software, comes with genuine win10 home Chinese version of the best platform for productivity and entertainment
There is not much software that comes with it. Basically all kinds of drivers and Dell's update/support services, and McAfee anti-virus software.
CPU-Z displayed data
CPU-Z test score. In the low pressure u, this score is OK.
AIDA64's memory running score is not high, and now the memory is cheaper, you can buy a 4G dual channel
The SSD runs at the as ssd benchmark, and it's quite satisfactory, which is a little lower than the intel 535 120g I bought before.
Cinebench R15 running points
Although it is a set display, it is also possible to run 3DMARK meaning meaning to run ran for Cloud Gate and Sky Diver
3DMARK's score is a bit low, but we look at 2 popular online games, lol and watch pioneers
First lol, the default quality effect - medium high, the number of frames in the 50-60 or so, playing is not a problem, AIDA64 shows a temperature of about 65, fan 3600 transfer business trip? Travel? Open black is not a matter ~
For the watchman, the demand is still a bit high, but the medium quality is not inhalable. Basically, there are more than 25 frames, or it can be a pleasant game.
A fps scored at the end of the game, except that some points down to 20 frames, other times are very smooth
For the light and thin of this figure, you can't ask for more
App to run points, also have to see PCMark 8
Pcmark 8 Home Accelerated 3.0 is mainly used for web browsing, text editing, photo processing and casual games. The configuration requirements are not very high. The Ling Yue Rubik's Cube 5000 is about 30% lower than the vr standard pc score.
Pcmark 8 Creative Accelerated 3.0 Demands More Performance Beyond Home's Web Browsing, Text Editing, Photo Processing, and Casual Games, Also Adds Video Editing, Video Rendering, Multiplayer Video Chat, and General 3D Game Testing, Due to Lack of Independence Obviously, the whole score is lower
Winrar benchmark runs
The actual compression speed, 70 pictures taken by nexus 6p, a total of 196MB directly compressed to rar (samples can be downloaded in the following ps test, we can try). On the pc (i5-6600k+750ti+16G memory) for 7 seconds , here is 14 seconds, still acceptable
PS real application test, using a stack of 70 pictures taken by nexus 6p in 15 minutes, each with 2.79MB, with a resolution of with a total of 196MB
After importing 70 shots into ps, do not auto-align, press OK directly. The entire stack is plotted on the pc. This process takes about 1 minute 2 seconds. On the Ling Yue Rubik 5000, it takes about 4 minutes and 20 seconds. This gap is a bit large, but taking into account the performance of u and only 4G of memory, this result is expected. After the stack is used up, 10g of memory allocated to ps is used up on the pc, and the spirit takes up 2g of memory.
Stacked out is such a smart object.
After HDR and color
Value-friends who are interested in trying can try it on their own host computer or notebook. They have put 70 original photos on Baidu web disk http://pan.baidu.com/s/1nvRcGY1
b. Hardware testing
SD card slot read speed, the card used is Lexar Professional 400x 64GB, theoretically it should be 60MB/s, only 26MB/s
Switch to USB3.0 interface, use SanDisk USB 3.0 Extreme Ultra-speed UHS-II SD card reader, read up to 68MB/s on pc here only half value 36.4MB/s.. is weird
But after plugging in an external hard disk, it's normal
Wireless is intel ac 3165 dual-band wifi adapter, the highest speed is 433 Mbps, and with a 4.2 version of the Bluetooth adapter. Use qq network transmission rate of the file is maintained at 27MB/s or so. This speed is not a problem with 100M fiber, Net transfer or NAS/shared folder watching movies is also sufficient. Of course, it should not be difficult for you to change a 833MB/s card yourself.
At the top of the screen is also equipped with a wide viewing angle - IR camera, infrared camera can also support Windows Hello biometric technology!! This is very interesting!! At first I thought it was a non-invasive function, but I really do not know a try to startle this The cargo actually landed in seconds without regard to the ambient light, which is convenient and efficient. It also frees the hands!!
To use this function, you must first set a password, then set the pin, Windows Hello can open
It can also scan several times, enhance recognition, complete infrared imagery, very fast
The lock screen prompts "Looking for you" when no faces have been scanned
Press the space to skip the lock screen to the login interface. If you cannot scan it, you can use the pin login instead.
But we must press the space to skip the lock screen interface to the login screen to scan.. speed visible below the video I recorded, regardless of whether the light is turned on or off, the speed is very fast!! very accurate!! is wonderful
c. Temperature/noise
Under normal standby temperature, the room temperature may be around 26 degrees. At this time, the fan does not start to operate and is completely muted..
In the furmark cpu burn to 82 degrees, the fan has been open to a maximum speed of 4092, but the noise is not great, control is very good
40 and 50 db noise interpretation. As far as sound meter software is not allowed, we can try it out ourselves
d. Endurance and charging speed
For life, or use Pc Mark first, this is an extremely time-consuming test
With 50% brightness and the highest performance battery settings, running Pcmark 8 Creative Accelerated 3.0. consumes 80% of battery time in 3 hours and 19 minutes. The estimated total battery life is 3 hours, 56 minutes and 18 seconds.
During the two weeks of the week, I used the Internet to check the information and write originals. I felt that the battery was operating in the power saving mode for at least 5,6 hours.
Afterwards, the measured performance was based on high performance, 80% brightness and volume, which were recorded in Youku, pass files, play watch, firefox browse webpages and songs, and the results were as follows:
The total duration is almost 3 hours. The remaining 11% of the meter's "proportionate to single-day battery life (hours)" is calculated from the ratio of electricity consumed per minute. It may not be scientific, but let everyone have a general understanding of it.
Charging test, after only 5% of the power is turned off automatically, turn on the screen and adjust the screen to the minimum brightness to start charging. The system prompts about 2 hours to fill. In the recording of 2 hours, it is indeed rushed to 99%. The whole process is very linear.
On the whole, although there is no long time for some Core m processors, power consumption and performance are always in the opposite direction. Before the explosive reform of the battery, fish and paws are always the places where consumers are entangled.
4. Screen performance
The Ling Yue Rubik's Cube 5000 is equipped with a 13.3-inch FHD (1920 x 1080) Truelife LED-backlit touch monitor. What is Truelife? I will not quote those technical terms anymore. Anyway, it is better color and contrast. , regardless of color or saturation, is still very good to the naked eye, after the camera shoot out there is so little deviation.
Visual range test, After the angle is deviated, the brightness will be reduced, but the saturation will be reduced. But generally it will not be so biased.
5. Scene outside shot
Run parameters away from the configuration parameters, as the flagship light and changeable products, of course, to bring them out.
About a sister, I went to the coffee shop to wait for a shot
Normal mode
SSD boot speed is fast
360-degree hinge, regardless of the Internet, code words, reading, watching videos, you can find the most fit your posture
Tent mode
The virtual keyboard is called out
The sister said that it is novel, the notebook can play like this
The win10 tablet mode touch design has been very easy to use, and the touch is very sensitive on the touch. The point or click is the same
Tablet mode
For the second-changing 13-inch flat, Sister Paper has been tempted to buy one.
The tablet mode can hold either horizontal or vertical
Last: Standing Mode
Take it easy to go
6. Simple dismantling
Because non-professionals, just take a look at changing the hard disk or memory is easy. Or use a long time, you can remove the dust.
The entire backplane has only nine screws. It is not difficult to disassemble. Ordinary small Phillips screwdrivers are good. Because they are all snaps, they must be opened with plastic cards or small pieces of mobile phones.
The layout is neat, the upper left is ssd, the lower is 42wh battery, the upper right CPU is cooling, the lower is the memory
The buckle on the back, be careful when you remove it, it looks like it's broken easily..
Change the angle
DDR4 Only and disassembly instructions on memory 
The factory is now equipped with a 4G Hynix Hynix in the Dimm2 position
The work of the USB 3.0 port is very positive. It is marked with Alltop 1616. Did not understand what it meant, did not come out google
42wh battery, life is good, visible above test
The speaker in the lower left corner, equipped with the Waves Maxxaudio Pro sound system, sounded a bit, and I was not expecting it. It was absolutely not thin and the sound was clearly structured.
Intel ac 3165 dual-band wifi adapter with a maximum speed of 433 Mbps and 4.2 Bluetooth adapters
The sandisk z400s ssd, only two screws are used for replacement, it is very convenient
Fan and heat sink above cpu
7. Summary, is it worth buying?
After two weeks of experience, the Ling Yue Rubik's Cube 5000 gave me a feeling of practicality. No matter if you are at home or away, the 2-in-1 changeable form will make you feel convenient. Plus a good battery life, you can save even if you go out for a short time. Do not need to find plugs everywhere. Travel weight is only 1.8kg, will not be a travel burden.
Although it is low-voltage u, but this configuration can be business office, video entertainment, copy editing, ps repair maps and so on without problems, Waves Maxxaudio Pro sound system in the absence of external speakers watching movies also have a good feel. Although the built-in HD520 graphics card can not enjoy a single masterpiece, but the casual two or two ass sucking butt is also very good, can be described as lightweight, long battery life and performance to achieve a good balance.
So if there is no heavy demand for performance, such as regular video rendering, 3D rendering, or playing high-effect games, but also pursuing lightness and portability, then the Ling Yue Magic Cube 5000 series is worth considering.
- Thanks again Aunt End-
