Some time ago, the epidemic raged again, and I was in Shenzhen, my life and work were affected to a certain extent, and I even experienced "working from home" again.
Listen to some of my college friends, they are also trapped in the dormitory or at home, staying for a long time, sometimes there is a illusion that time is suspended, but this is an illusion after all... Busy study life, but do not say stop and stop.
For example, taking (online) classes, liver papers, doing group assignments, or retouching pictures, cutting videos, writing songs, doing designs, whether it is study or interest in life, you need a notebook to take advantage of.
The HP Star 14 high-performance thin and light book I am experiencing is precisely a "student party artifact" that can solve most of the needs of college students.
Thin, light and high performance, entertainment & productivity coexist
In order to cope with the intense learning tasks of the university, the performance of our notebook must keep up, and it can be seen from the name of the Star 14 high-performance light and thin book that it has a strong enough performance configuration to support it.
With the new 11th generation Intel Core i5 processor, the performance improvement is obvious, multitasking has no problems, and the response speed of the opening application is also a great, the eleventh generation Core, wantonly light. At the same time, intel iris X graphics card is configured, and conventional drawing and editing are calmly coped with.
16G DDR4-3200MHz large capacity dual-channel memory, enough to cope with various use scenarios in the university for four years, when there are more diversified use needs in the future, the performance of the notebook will not be too low memory limit. The Star 14 high-performance thin and light book is equipped with a three-phase motor motor, with a thinner fan blade, which reduces noise while also bringing better heat dissipation. Lets you concentrate on your studies in both the dormitory and the study room, without being affected by noise.
However, we also know that the intense study, occasionally have to relax appropriately, such as playing games, combining work and leisure, in order to better improve learning efficiency, right.
In fact, I am quite envious of the current student party, like when I was in college, if you want to play a large game, you must be a heavy game book, but after a few years, I found that the performance of the current light and thin book has surpassed the high-priced black and heavy one I used to have, which really makes people have to shed tears of the times.
Online games such as LOL that do not eat configuration can basically be easily played with high quality, and it is not a problem to idle and have a black group with friends.
And in my college observation of my roommates, some people like to play games, some people also like to watch dramas and variety shows, and the demand for star 14 high-performance light and thin books in this regard can also be satisfied.
The 84% screen ratio of high-definition full screen, coupled with the Danish royal level B&O tuned dual speakers, watching a movie immersive, audiovisual experience are guaranteed. At the same time, it can also be selected with 400 nits high brightness, 72% NTSC high color gamut display, support DC dimming, even if not entertainment, there is such a comprehensive quality screen, night liver papers, or usually repair pictures, the pressure on the eyes is not so large.
Intelligent voice assistant, a good partner for learning
In addition to performance, the Star 14 High Performance Thin and Light Book has a special feature, especially suitable for college students.
I always hear my college friends joke that they are the "generation of online courses", and the proportion of online courses far exceeds that of previous alumni. However, unlike in schools, without the supervision of teachers and the atmosphere of the school, if you do not pay attention, you will miss important knowledge points.
The built-in intelligent voice assistant of the Star 14 high-performance light and thin book, Hui Xiaowei, ushered in an update some time ago, which can just solve these problems of college students.
Open Hui Xiaowei, from the new main interface can feel, this guy must have eighteen martial arts.
Deserted in class, didn't hear clearly, right? This is not a problem, Hui Xiaowei's [meeting notes] function comes in handy at this time.
Support microphone + system dual recording, not to mention online lessons, even if you return to the classroom, Hui Xiaowei can help you record it.
After that, it can also be transcribed into text and saved into sound, which is convenient for repeated viewing later, and even simplifies the steps of refining the key points.
If I go back to college, this would be my lazy gospel.
And this is just the basic operation of Hui Xiaowei, stand up friends sit down first, think about it, what if you encounter English online classes? What if you want to see a TED Talk that only has an untitled version of "raw meat"?
Do not panic, Hui Xiaowei also supports [subtitle translation] function, encounter pure English + no Chinese subtitles of online courses or speech videos do not panic, Hui Xiaowei not only provides real-time subtitles, but also Chinese and English bilingual, of course, also support transcription into text to save.
The subtitle group we still have less contact, I am afraid that Hui Xiaowei misunderstood, and this time, it is equivalent to one more small partner who learns together.
Exquisite workmanship, colorful and high value
Young groups such as college students and the new generation of white-collar workers who have just entered the workplace, in addition to performance configuration, often have very high requirements for the appearance of appearance. Since its launch, the HP Star series has been popular for its high-value appearance and highlight details.
For example, the hinge designed with the "small warp" design, the A-side fuselage will be slightly cocked, which can not only help the air inlet, assist in heat dissipation, but also be more ergonomic and make the typing angle more comfortable.
In terms of color matching, it is also the old craft of the star 14 high-performance light and thin book, there are moonlight silver, streamer gold, first love powder and other fashion colors to choose from, of which the two A and C double-sided of streamer gold and first love powder also use contrast design to make the machine more layered.
My personal favorite is still the excellent touch of the Star 14 high-performance light and thin book, which is very delicate to the touch, and is not afraid of fingerprints and grease residues, which is very suitable for me, a sweaty hand user. The A-side is made of metal, the classic HP round LOGO is in the center, and the bright surface treatment gives it a flexible feel when viewed from different angles.
C side is the use of 3D integrated molding technology, marginal seamless, quite aesthetic at the same time can better prevent dust deposition, but also has a rare fingerprint reader on other thin and light books, bringing a more convenient unlocking experience, a touch can quickly enter the system, eliminating the complicated password input, go out without worrying about password leakage, safe and convenient.
I also want to praise the star 14 high-performance thin and light keyboard, usually I do not like to use the notebook keyboard, because most of the light and thin books in order to pursue thin and light, easy to ignore the feel of the keyboard, resulting in the feel of typing is like typing steel plate. And this keyboard has a 1.3mm key range, strong rebound, clear feedback, 19mm key spacing, but also can effectively reduce false touch, keycaps are large enough, will not let me have a crowded feeling, but also support two backlight adjustment. If you have to say groove points, the arrow keys of the blood can be considered for improvement in the next version.
In fact, many thin and light books on the market have done subtraction on the interface, but from the perspective of actual use, we want to access more and more devices: external display, keyboard, memory card, mouse, etc., sometimes really because of the lack of an interface and forget to bring a docking station, and there are embarrassing scenes.
The star 14 high-performance thin and light body has a thickest point of only 16.9mm, but it is uncompromising on the interface, equipped with 1 HDMI2.0 interface, 1 USB 3.2 Gen1 interface, 1 full-featured USB Type-C 3.2 Gen2 interface and 1 power interface on the left side, and 1 USB 3.2 Gen1 interface and 1 headset integrated interface on the left side. Among them, the full-featured USB Type-C 3.2 Gen2 interface can support charging, data transmission, etc., and usually go out with a PD charger, which can also maintain power anytime and anywhere.
And the weight is only 1.41kg, whether it is held on campus to go to class, or carrying it on the back of the commute to squeeze the subway, it will not be cumbersome.
brief summary
Star 14 high-performance thin and light book has a solid workmanship, exquisite appearance, excellent quality, in the performance is enough to meet the university students' learning and interest in life at the same time, Hui Xiaowei upgrade, so that it is more product characteristics and competitive, can be regarded as a light and thin notebook both inside and outside.
