Before this notebook, I had always used intel CPU notebooks, but with the rise of AMD, intel, which always squeezed toothpaste, was finally photographed on the beach, and the CPU at the same price was almost crushed. Therefore, during this regular replacement, I deliberately avoided the notebook of intel CPU.
I am currently working in a state-owned enterprise, and in my spare time, I am a digital blogger who likes to share some digital product experiences on my account, and also shares some small knowledge of photography. As for the game, I basically don't play those AAA masterpieces, time-consuming and expensive, usually the most played two games: LOL and CS GO, not professional, but "dedicated".
So, from my usage point of view, in addition to the AMD CPU, my requirements for the screen are relatively high, the color gamut coverage should be wide, the color should be accurate, as for whether there is a discrete graphics card, I think it does not matter, as long as I can run LOL and CS GO.
Following this need, after reading a few notebooks, I locked my sights on the new Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition. As for why, here are two of my reasons:
1. AMD YES, ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition is equipped with AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, the overall performance of this CPU is very good, basically crushing the intel CPU of the same price notebook.
2. Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition of this screen, a 6K + price segment of the screen hard to do early 5000, not only equipped with excellent color performance OLED screen, and its resolution reached 2.8K, and also has a 90Hz refresh rate and a maximum peak brightness of 600nit, can meet my retouching needs.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="9" > design: "fashion" for Gen Z</h1>
As a laptop that targets the Z generation user group, asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition highlights the "modern" and "minimalist" design language in terms of design, and the silver color scheme is not only atmospheric, but also a very stylish color, which is very versatile in both business and leisure occasions.
The A side of the ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition uses aviation-grade aluminum-magnesium alloy material, and the surface sandblasting process will have a very fine matte feeling, which is very good. In addition, the ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition did not put the logo in the center of the front, and the choice of the edge position is also a reflection of the uniqueness in my opinion.
This logo uses CNC relief process, the overall level will be higher than the A-side level, printed on some patterns and fearless series logo, due to the use of polishing technology, so at a specific angle can see the mirror reflection effect, it looks very delicate.
The screen is a big selling point of the ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition, and it is not easy to be equipped with a 2.8K OLED screen at this price point. If you're the kind of user who is very sensitive to the quality of the screen, then asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition must be a good choice. As for the actual qualities, I will focus on the detailed test in a later section.
The screen of the Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition adopts the popular narrow border design, although it is the same size as the general 14-inch screen, but in fact, it looks that the field of view will be larger, and due to the narrow border, the overall size of the Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Version is also smaller, and the 13-inch bag at home can also be put down.
In the center of the upper border, a "privacy" camera is designed, which can physically mask the camera through the mechanical switch on the right side of the camera when not in use, which can effectively prevent some criminals from using the camera to steal the privacy of users.
In terms of keyboard, limited by the size of the whole machine, Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition did not design a separate keypad, but gave more space to the existing key area, so it can be found that the size of its single key is relatively large, and it is friendly to friends with thicker fingers. In addition, the asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition has a single keycap key range of about 1.4mm, the compression feedback is very clear, there will be no feeling of tapping on the iron plate, and it is still very useful for users like me who often need code words.
In addition, in order to facilitate the use of low-light environments, ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition comes standard with a backlit keyboard, and the three-level adjustable design allows users to adjust the brightness of the backlight according to their own needs, which is convenient for normal use of the computer without disturbing others.
I often take my laptop out and use it, and in order to reduce "weight", in most cases I do not carry a mouse with me, but use a trackpad instead of mouse operation. The asus Dreadnought Pro14 Ryzen Edition has a trackpad size of about 13cm×7.5cm, the surface has been specially coated process, the feel is smoother, at the same time, this trackpad also supports Windows multi-finger touch gestures, which is no problem to replace the mouse.
In terms of fuselage interface, ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition is also very rich in configuration, the left side of the fuselage is 2 2.0 standard USB-A interfaces, which can be used to connect some mice, keyboards and other devices that do not require high data transfer rates; the right side of the fuselage interface is relatively more, 1 3.2 Gen1 standard USB-A interface and 1 USB-C interface can ensure fast data transmission, 1 HDMI interface provides convenience for external displays, and Micro SD card slots It's really practical for a creator like me who uses cards a lot to transfer photos.
In order to better dissipate the heat inside the fuselage and ensure stable performance output, the ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition is also unambiguous in terms of heat dissipation, in addition to the D-side and the large area of the heat dissipation hole behind the fuselage side, the fuselage is also equipped with a double cicada wing fan and a large pipe diameter double heat pipe, and the overall heat dissipation efficiency will be higher. During this period of use, even after a long game or heavy test, the C-side palmrest position temperature of the Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition is still only warm.
In terms of sound, the ASUS Intrepid Pro14 Ryzen Edition is equipped with a Harman Kardon certified dual speaker, which can get a good stereo effect when we are brushing dramas or playing games.

At the same price, this screen of the Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition is definitely called "top-notch", with 2.8K resolution, OLED material, 90Hz refresh rate, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 1.07 billion colors, 600nit peak brightness... Any comparison at the same price is the best, and these are now concentrated on this screen of the Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition.
In terms of resolution, compared to the general 1080P screen, asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Version of the resolution reached 2880×1800, the screen ppi reached 242, far more than the 200ppi retina notebook screen standard, the same distance to watch this screen, 1080P in the font or graphic edge will see some jagged, but this screen will not have this feeling at all, the display is very delicate.
In terms of overall look and feel, the overall color performance and screen permeability of this OLED screen from Samsung are better than the common LCD screen, if you have not used the OLED screen notebook before, then the first time to open the Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition will definitely be stunning by this screen.
In addition, the peak brightness of the screen of the ASUS Fearless Pro14 can reach 600nit (in the condition of turning on HDR, the peak brightness in SDR mode is about 400nit), and has passed the VESA DisplayHDR 600 True Black certification, when watching some HDR videos, higher brightness and contrast can fully display the details of the picture, and there will be no dark and unclear situation.
Especially when displaying black, due to the luminous characteristics of the OLED screen, these luminous points are completely closed at this time, and they are more purely black than the LCD.
Of course, the perception is only a subjective feeling, and the real quality of the screen still needs to be tested by professional screen testing equipment.
Using spyderX elite+DisplayCal3 to test this screen of the Asus Intrepid Pro14 Ryzen Edition, it can cover 100% sRGB, 98.6% Adobe RGB and 99.8% DCI-P3 color gamut, which is basically the same as the official data. At the same time, its color accuracy is very good, worthy of being a good screen that has been calibrated one by one and certified by Pantone.
For digital bloggers like me, using this screen to process some commercial films or videos can obtain more accurate color adjustments, eliminating the trouble of changing back and forth, and the efficiency of retouching is significantly higher.
And, because the screen has 1.07 billion colors, when you look at some RAW format photos taken by previous cameras, it seems to open up a new world, and the color overload is more natural.
If you have the same strict standards for screen color as I do, then this screen of the Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition will not disappoint you.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="68" > Performance: AMD YES</h1>
Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition has two versions of Intel and AMD, as a PC user who pursues the ultimate cost performance, there is no black Apple demand, of course, it is more affordable to choose the AMD version.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" > Summary: The best choice for the price of 5000 yuan</h1>
