For small partners who have paid attention to OLED notebooks, they may remember that two brands released such products last year, namely Asus and Xiaomi. Among them, ASUS's Fearless Pro14 is a star product, not only inexpensive and equipped with OLED display, but also available in Intel and AMD versions. Now asus OLED light and thin book is coming again, although this new product is called Peerless, but at a glance, it can be seen that it is the previous Intel version of Fearless Pro, and the AMD version is not classified into the Peerless series, so it is not so much a new product, but rather an Intel version of the name change and separation.
On the hardware, the newly launched ASUS Peerless Series Thin and Light Book has also made hardware upgrades. This time, there are 14-inch and 15.6-inch options, but the hardware is basically the same, and the color scheme is silver and black, which are combined into four optional specifications. It comes standard with the Core i5-12500H, 16GB DDR4-3200 memory, 512GB SSD and WIFI6, 70Wh large battery. The notebook's memory slot and M.2 slot are only 1, and 8GB of memory is onboard, so upgrading may be a bit troublesome, but fortunately, this configuration does not seem to need to be upgraded.
The OLED screen of asus peerless notebooks is the biggest selling point, after all, OLED technology is now too rare to use in notebooks. This notebook 14 inches have 2880×1800 resolution, support 90Hz refresh rate, 15.6 inches with 2880×1620 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate, the rest of the specifications are basically the same, are 100% DCI-P3 color gamut and 133% sRGB color gamut, 10bit color depth, due to high brightness and high contrast characteristics, but also let it pass the HDR600 certification.
This notebook shape and the original Fearless Pro series, using a metal relief LOGO design style, the notebook screen can be expanded 180 degrees, in addition to the look and feel of the sound quality also has Harman Karton tuning, the key part is 1.4mm key range, large size key caps, 15.6-inch version is also equipped with a small keyboard, C-side increased silver ion antibacterial coating, in the thin and light book is good. The heat dissipation of the notebook adopts a curved fan and a dual heat pipe double air outlet design, which has a performance mode. The notebook also supports cutting off the camera and microphone with one click, and adding a physical switch to the camera.
Expand the interface part, remember the shortcomings of the Original Fearless Pro? That is, the USB Type-C interface was omitted, but the Intel version was added back later. This 12th generation Core Edition has 2 USB interfaces, one of which is USB2.0, 2 Thunderbolt 4 interfaces, support PD fast charging and video output, the display part is directly equipped with HDMI interface, support 4K60Hz output.
In terms of price, the price of ASUS Peerless 14 inches is 4899 yuan, the price of 15.6 inches is 4999 yuan, and the price of silver and black is the same. From the pre-sale situation, 14-inch black sold the fastest, and it seems that the thin and light book is almost only available in silver, which hit the heart of many people. In short, this notebook is not bad overall, OLED screen is the biggest selling point, others are different, 4999 yuan price is not expensive, is worth considering the product.
