In the past two years, Nvidia GeForce MX450 can often be seen on many affordable thin and light books, and recently Geekbench has appeared on a notebook equipped with a 12th-generation Core mobile processor, and its graphics card seems to be GeForce MX550. According to the previously exposed news, this graphics card is based on ampere architecture GPU, with 2048 CUDA cores, compared with the previous generation of GeForce MX450 about 15% to 18% improvement, which also indicates that next year's thin and light cost will usher in a heavy upgrade.
So for users who just need thin and light, is it to use the latest 12th-generation Core processor + NVIDIA MX550 graphics card next year to use the new notebook, or directly start this year's thin and light products, buy early and enjoy it? On my personal suggestion, next year's products are not as good as directly starting this year's thin and light book, after all, now you can use it directly, or spot sale, plus now there are many manufacturers to open the double twelve return discount, the price of light and thin book is more fragrant, it is a good time to start. For example, the technology giant Asus has a double 12 return offer, and its popular thin and light book #Lingyao Pro14# can be obtained as long as 6999, which is very cost-effective.
In addition to the price concessions, in terms of product hardware, the current products may not be worse than next year's new products. Next year's thin and light cost is most likely equipped with a new 12th-generation Core mobile processor and NVIDIA MX550 unique display, the former is mainly improved or in multi-core performance, will use 4 large cores 8 small core design, but Asus Lingyao Pro14 itself is equipped with AMD Ryzen 7 5800H standard voltage processor, using Zen3 architecture, 8 core 16 thread design, IPC increased by up to 19%, bringing leaps and bounds of single-core performance improvement and good multi-core performance, Ability to easily cope with daily multi-tasking work environments.
In terms of graphics cards, although the current exposure data shows that Nvidia MX550 alone compared to MX450 or will have a maximum performance increase of 18%, but the Lingyao Pro14 directly uses RTX 3050 light chase unique display, with 2048 CUDA cores, can bring good game performance at the same time, graphics card supports light chase, DLSS and other functions, with the default RTX Studio graphics card driver, so that its experience in PS, AE and other creative applications can be further optimized, The theoretical performance is twice that of the MX450, which can be said to directly ignore the improvement of the MX550. Therefore, in the hardware configuration, the Lingyao Pro14 can fully withstand the pressure of the ming young thin book, and it is better to do and so on than to buy early and enjoy early.
Not to mention that there are still 2 to 3 months to go before the NVIDIA MX550 graphics card, 12th generation Core processor and other new hardware on the market, the time is still relatively long, for the just need party to continue to use the old computer for a long time, for work efficiency, daily entertainment is very unfriendly. Coupled with the chip market in recent years has been tight supply, graphics card prices continue to rise, so next year's new product prices may have a certain range of increases, and whether the source of goods can be guaranteed is still unknown, the real spot to buy I am afraid it will take more than half a year, for just need users to pay the time cost is too high, can be directly spot purchase, more trouble-free.
More importantly, the actual experience of the Asus Lingyao Pro14 itself is also excellent, which can meet the needs of most light and thin users. In terms of portability, its whole machine is only 16.9mm thick and weighs 1.45kg, which is quite light for a 14-inch thin and light book, and it is more friendly to business trips and office scenes. With a large battery of 63Whr, it can basically guarantee the use of a day, and the 120W adapter is also quite efficient, and the battery life is not a problem.
At the same time, Lingyao Pro14 is also equipped with an OLED screen that is also popular as a bright and young thin book, which has a 16:10 golden ratio, a 2.8K super retina-level display, and also supports a high refresh rate of 90Hz, so whether it is daily work or movie watching, it can bring users a clear and delicate, silky and smooth visual effect. Moreover, this OLED screen has also passed the low blue light eye protection, high color accuracy, HDR a number of high standard authority certification, these display advantages are particularly useful in entertainment scenarios or in the use of Adobe software, the display effect is very accurate and in place, the advantages are quite obvious. In addition, Lingyao Pro14 also provides a DialPad virtual knob, which can not only achieve brightness and volume adjustments, but also further improve creative efficiency in Adobe creation applications, which can be called an all-round weapon for daily entertainment and mobile office.
On the whole, next year's new products are still an unknown, not only need to spend a lot of time and cost, may also face the problem of price increases, insufficient supply, so it is better to do so than to buy early and enjoy early, directly get started with the current high-quality thin and light book. The ASUS Lingyao Pro14 not only has the performance configuration of the Ryzen™ 7 5800H+RTX3050, but also lays out the OLED screen in advance and some detailed designs, which can meet the needs of daily entertainment and office, but also meet the professional design work, which is indeed a good choice for users who need thin and light.
