As a refined aviation fan, I have always wanted to start a high-value thin book with aerospace elements, mainly used for mobile office. After doing some homework, I selected the notebook a bean 14 aerospace version jointly launched by ASUS and Space Creative, whether it is design, configuration or price to meet my needs, immediately chopped up. At present, I have been using the ASUS ADOU 14 Aerospace Edition for nearly a week, and today I want to talk to you about the actual experience of this high-value PC to see if the 3999 can be worth the ticket price.
First of all, the reason why I chose the Asus a bean 14 aerospace version, the appearance is an important reason. And a bean, as the main fashion young brand series of ASUS, has always had a high voice in terms of appearance, and has been favored by many young people, and this time the a bean 14 aerospace version is no exception. The whole machine adopts a minimalist design style, adding a circle with a mirror effect in the center of the A side of the notebook, and the center of the circle is an embossed "a" logo, which is low-key and does not forget to show itself. Coupled with the use of high-strength aluminum-magnesium alloy materials, with sandblasting anode processing, showing a delicate and warm metallic texture, but also to enhance the strength and wear resistance of the fuselage, practical and aesthetic.
What I am most satisfied with is that the a-bean 14 aerospace version also brings many aerospace customization elements. From the Morse code on the A side of the fuselage, to the rivet pattern design of the C side, the custom key position, and then to the laser engraving pattern of the D side, the a bean 14 aerospace version has spent a lot of thought on the appearance design. And on the left and right sides of the fuselage, there is also a classic English quotation "down-to-earth, looking up at the stars", as well as the pattern of the rocket, which not only fully highlights the aerospace customization elements, but also greatly enhances the recognition of the aircraft, which is quite in line with the aesthetic needs of aerospace fans.
In addition, the lightweight design of the a bean 14 aerospace version, simply let go. The thickness of the whole machine is only 14.9mm, and the weight is as light as about 1.39kg, which is no different from a fashion magazine. We can put it in the mezzanine of the camera bag, which is very light to carry every day, and on the commute to and from work, even without a backpack, there is no pressure to hold it in one hand. When traveling, the slim and lightweight a bean 14 aerospace version of the fuselage will not take up too much space, and light travel will not increase a lot of burden because of an extra laptop.
Open the notebook, ASUS a bean 14 aerospace version equipped with a matte IPS screen, using a narrow border design, although the upper border will look slightly wider after adding the camera, but the size control of the left and right borders is very good, the viewing angle is wider, the glare is less, the picture immersion is stronger, and the visual experience when watching the movie is quite good. And this screen covers 100% sRGB high color gamut, which can provide more accurate colors when retouching, making posters, cutting videos and other image processing. At the same time, it supports DC dimming, and can also open the eye protection mode in MyASUS, effectively reducing the blue light of the screen, and facing the screen for a long time to make the office more eye-catching, which is quite friendly for office workers.
Of course, for notebooks, if you want a better experience, performance configuration is the soul. The ASUS a bean 14 aerospace version is equipped with AMD Ryzen R7 5700U processor, using advanced 7nm process technology to create, turbo frequency up to 4.3GHz, comprehensive performance compared with the previous generation increased by about 50%, and has 8 cores and 16 threads, is the only 8 core 16 threads high-performance notebook in the same price point, enough to ensure a more stable and smooth running experience in daily use and games. In terms of my actual experience, whether it is opening multiple task windows in the daily office, or using PS and Pr to edit rendering, it is quite smooth.
As for the battery life experience, under my actual test, the built-in 42Wh lithium polymer battery of the ASUS a bean 14 aerospace version can achieve 10 hours of playback of local 1080P video under full power. In the daily mobile office scenario, it can also be more than 6 hours, such a battery life performance for people on business trips can fully meet the needs of a day of use, and the battery life performance is still very good.
On the whole, the #ASUS ADOU14# Aerospace Edition can indeed meet my needs very well, whether it is a very personalized aerospace customized high-value appearance, thin and light fuselage design, or excellent screen, performance and long-lasting battery life, all of which make my daily office entertainment have a better experience, proper high performance + high-value light and thin book.
