The new generation of the Star X15 XS game book makes a clear distinction from the previous generation on the A side. Compared with the brand logo used in many game books, the main visual of the star X15 XS on the A side is the "will" word written for the brush, which has significantly improved the recognition of the game book, which is also in line with its "national style, fashion" notebook positioning.
The product is available in both pale blue and starburst gray, and we got the pale blue, which is very recognizable compared to other black or silver game books.
In terms of screen, the Star X15 XS game book adopts a narrow bezel design and uses a 15.6-inch 144Hz gaming screen. We saw through the red spider colorimeter test, its color accuracy reached 0.99, or relatively excellent. Unfortunately, the gamut coverage is average.
The keyboard section features a colorful backlit keyboard with a full numeric keypad. The keyboard has a clear sense of passage and the feedback is excellent. The keyboard brightness is multi-level adjustable, and the keyboard can be switched freely in 15 colors through the LED Keyboard keyboard backlight.
In terms of interface, the left side of the Star X15 XS is: keyhole, 2 USB, 1 microphone, 1 two-in-one audio jack, the right side is RJ45 network port, Type-C interface, card reader port, and the rear has HDMI interface, miniDP interface and a Type-c port. The power button is also set on the back of the machine, which can better hide the charger this big guy!

The processor uses Intel 12th generation Core i7-12700H processor, Alder Lake architecture, 6 large 8 small total 14 cores 20 threads, turbo up to 4.7GHz, L3 cache up to 24MB.

It can bring better rendering efficiency to the notebook, and it also supports ray tracing and DLSS black technology, bringing players higher frame rates and wonderful game graphics!

From the point of view of disassembly, this product adopts the design of dual fans and three heat pipes, dual memory and dual hard disk bits, one of which is empty, which is convenient for users to expand.
