Lenovo released a lot of "matryoshka doll" models this year, the most typical is the small new Pro14 and YOGA14s, these two common molds, fine-tuning the configuration to engage in a new model, really let me aesthetic fatigue.
But Lenovo also has novel products this year, such as the YOGA Pro13s Carbon 2021 I bought before, the whole body is snow white, the carbon fiber top cover, the ultra-light body, the reasonable price, I recommended for a long time. (Point me review review review)
In keeping a good impression of the computer above, I purchased their new YOGA Pro14s Carbon 2022 at my own expense to see how it performed in actual measurements:
Lenovo YOGA Pro14s Carbon 2022
Left side of the fuselage
The right side of the fuselage
It is configured as follows:
R7-5800U processor
16GB 4266MHz RAM
512GB SSD
14 inch 2880×1800 resolution 100% DCI-P3 color gamut 90Hz refresh rate OLED touch screen
Battery capacity 61Wh
Thickness 15.3~16.6mm
The fuselage weighs 1.08kg
Adapter weighs 143g
The initial price is 7299 yuan
Its advantages and disadvantages are as follows:
merit!
1, carbon fiber top cover, the fuselage is very light
2, the screen quality is high, the color accuracy performance is good
3, the core and surface temperature are low under full load
shortcoming!
1, there are only 3 C ports, and there are few types of interfaces
2, the keyboard backlight is uneven
3, carbon fiber A side, with metal matte spray paint, the texture is general
【Upgrade Suggestions】
This laptop is relatively simple to disassemble, remove all the screws of the D-case to remove the back cover.
Dual channel 16GB LPDDR4x 4266MHz memory can meet most usage needs, the memory is on-board and cannot be replaced.
The SSD capacity of the test machine is 512GB, the model is Hynix PC711, support PCIe3.0×4 and NVMe, which can meet the needs of most people, if necessary, you can replace it yourself, only one M.2 slot.
【Purchase Suggestions】
1, the screen quality requirements are higher
2, the portability requirements are higher
3. Users who are accustomed to the transfer interface
Lenovo YOGA Pro14s Carbon 2022's biggest feature is [light + OLED], this year there are few notebooks that combine the two, and this OLED screen is also well tuned.
In terms of screen, its measured color gamut volume is 125.9% DCI-P3, the color gamut covers 100.0% DCI-P3, in terms of color accuracy, the average ΔE is 0.57, the maximum average ΔE is 1.41, the measured maximum brightness is 400.2nit, plus the 90Hz refresh rate, and the overall look and feel is among the best in OLED notebooks.
In terms of interfaces, it has two full-featured USB Type-C (3.1 rate) and 3.5mm audio interfaces on the left side, and a USB Type-C (only data transmission 3.1 rate) on the right, which is less numerous and variety for a 14-inch thin and light book.
And because it is equipped with a Ryzen™ processor, it does not support Raiden 4.
In terms of battery life, its PCmark10 battery life test score is 12 hours and 22 minutes. (Scene: Modern Office)
In terms of noise, its full load of human decibels is 40.7dB, which is only slightly higher than ambient noise.
Lenovo YOGA Pro14s Carbon 2022 configuration choice is very single, only this one optional, the first 7299 yuan, now 7499 yuan, and due to the scarcity of supply, so mainly sold on lenovo's official website.
If you want a lightweight OLED notebook, then this computer is for you.
But if you're more concerned about game performance, then I don't recommend this computer.
【Conclusion of the Conscience of the Pig King】
The picture above is the real picture of Lenovo YOGA Pro14s Carbon 2022, a combination of dual fans and two heat pipes.
Room temperature 25 °C
Reflectance 1.0
BIOS version: H5CN31WW
For thin and light costs that are not unique, we stress tested with a lower-load States CPU.
In the full load state, the CPU temperature is up to 74.3 °C, stable at 70.6 °C, power consumption of about 25W, and the frequency is maintained around 3.375GHz.
Slide left to see the temperature on the back
The temperature on the back of the grill
The surface temperature is shown in the figure above, the keyboard keycaps up to 37.7 °C appear in the middle of the keyboard, the WASD key area is 32.7 °C, and the arrow keys are 27.6 °C. The left wrist support temperature is 27.1 °C, and the center point of the back is 34.1 °C.
In general, Lenovo YOGA Pro14s Carbon 2022's heat dissipation performance is good, don't look at the surface temperature map red and tongtong, the actual temperature maximum value does not exceed 38 ° C, and the core temperature is also well controlled.
Measured, the computer's data is still in line with my expectations, but I still prefer YOGA Pro 13s for one reason - the surface treatment of Pro14s Carbon is too ordinary.
Compared to the pure white of Pro13s, Pro14s uses silver frosted metal spray paint, the surface look + touch and YOGA14s are very similar, at a glance it looks like an ordinary metal shell, before picking up the fuselage, it is difficult to feel that it uses carbon fiber.
In terms of "carbon fiber texture" shaping, thinkPad X1 Carbon and VAIO SX14 are the best, the former surface with a skin-like coating to add a sense of luxury.
The SX14 makes a difference in the surface process on the upper side of the top cover, making people feel that the top cover is composed of two materials, and then feel the use of carbon fiber material.
And I like YOGA Pro13s, although it does not do any surface treatment, it looks like plastic, but pure white is rare in this industry, and it will not be like pro14s.
All in all, YOGA Pro14s Carbon 2022 is a very "lenovo" notebook, a look at paper data, the material is indeed very sufficient, but "golden jade, defeat outside", the appearance design is too ordinary, there is no intention, did not highlight the special features of this computer, I can only rely on the measured data to comfort myself.
