Zero-carve is a brand that mainly makes mini computer hosts, and the models that have been launched are also very rich, including the main high-performance, but also the main cost-effective, and even launched a model equipped with a domestic mega core processor: zero-engraved LZX.
Then, the mini computer host that this article wants to give you to evaluate is the high-performance model launched by Zero Moment: Zero Moment SER4, this mini computer host is equipped with AMD Ryzen 7 4800U processor, and the interface design is also very comprehensive, not only to meet the daily office, but also to meet the light and medium game entertainment. If you want to know more about zero-moment SER4, just look down.
The appearance is exquisite, only the size of a palm
The exterior design of zero-engraved SER4 is very exquisite, boxy, the workmanship is also very good, and the shell of the whole machine is made of metal material, and the design is full. The top of the fuselage adopts a skeleton metal mesh panel that is easy to improve the heat dissipation effect and the splicing design of the acrylic panel. At the same time, the two sides of the body of the zero-engraved SER4 are also used skeleton metal mesh panels, but the panels on both sides are embellished with red, so that the whole machine does not look monotonous, and the design inspiration should be derived from AMD's classic black and red color.
At the same time, it can be seen that the edge position of the top of the zero-engraved SER4 adopts the "glossy side cut edge" design, which further enhances the design of the zero-engraved SER4, and the cutting edge workmanship is very good, there is no cutting problem, so I think that the appearance of the zero-engraved SER4 is exquisite and the workmanship is good.
I think many users start with such products as mini computer hosts, perhaps they are looking at its small design, after all, compared to the "big" desktop computer host, the mini computer host can save a lot of space. I used a 6.53-inch mobile phone to compare the size of the zero-coupon SER4, and now everyone should be able to clearly understand how big the zero-engraved SER4 is.
There is another design of zero-click SER4 that I like, that is, the interface design is very rich. The tail of the zero-edge SER4 is equipped with a Gigabit ethernet port, USB3.0, USB2.0, two HDMI (4K HD) ports, and a power connector, while the rear grille position is the air outlet of the cooling fan.
Directly in front of the zero-tick SER4, there are 2 USB3.1 ports, 1 Type-C interface, 1 3.5mm audio interface, and clear cmOS hole, power button (with backlight design). If you exclude the power supply interface, if you combine the interfaces in front of the front and tail, it means that the zero-tick SER4 has a total of 9 interfaces.
Like when I usually use a PC, because the keyboard and mouse are connected through the transmitter, it will occupy two USB interfaces, plus to connect a mobile hard disk or U disk, which will occupy two USB interfaces, so I like the rich interface design of zero-engraved SER4, whether it is connected to multiple peripherals, storage devices or multiple displays, zero-tick SER4 has no pressure.
It is worth mentioning that the Type-C interface designed in front of the zero-engraved SER4 in addition to supporting data transmission, but also supports video output, like I will now connect the zero-engraved SER4 through the Type-C interface is also the Type-C interface of the portable screen use, and the portable screen in my hand also supports touch operation and the design of the built-in battery without plugging in, so the combination with the zero-engraved SER4 can further reduce the desktop space, while also bringing the touch experience.
In addition, the Type-C interface plus two HDMI interfaces, which also means that the zero-engraved SER4 can be connected to up to three displays, which is very practical for those who need to open multiple programs to design and program.
However, the type-C interface of the zero-tick SER4 does not support power supply. In addition, the picture above is the zero-tick SER4 official power adapter.
In addition to the power supply, the Zero-Tick SER4 comes with a wall-mounted bracket, a number of screws, and an HDMI cable with a total length of 100 cm (gold) and an HDMI cable with a total length of 26 cm (silver).
Zero-tick SER4 bottom real shot.
Zero-engraved SER4 also has a certain degree of scalability, unscrew the bottom four screws to see that the backplane is designed with a 2.5-inch SATA hard disk slot, the user can install the hard disk to expand the space of the zero-engraved SER4.
In addition, the zero-engraved SER4 main board has two SO-DIMM memory slots, the zero-engraved SER4 I got is pre-installed with a 16GB DDR4 memory module (3200MHz), and I happen to have a memory strip with the same specifications at home, so I installed it to form a dual channel.
The SSD carried by the zero-coupon SER4 is a 512GB Intel 660P M.2 2280, and if you have an idle hard disk of the same type, you can also disassemble and replace it. In addition, the other side of the zero-engraved SER4 motherboard is equipped with a CPU and a cooling fan (Note: the zero-engraved SER4 motherboard, hard disk stickers have some barcodes and other information, I carried out PS and covered with screws).
Equipped with Windows 11 system, the performance is powerful
The system equipped with Zero-click SER4 is Windows 11 Professional Edition, the system is clean, and there is no pre-installed software.
However, because Windows 11 has a design that supports android subsystems, it can run Android APP, plus the portable screen connected by zero-tick SER4 supports touch operation, which is more suitable for experiencing Android APP, so I installed the Android subsystem on zero-engraved SER4 through some settings, and also installed some Android APP for experience. Of course, the mouse can also be operated, but it is better to experience it with touch, just like experiencing a Windows tablet.
In addition, zero-edge SER4 also supports Wi-Fi6E and Bluetooth 5.2.
And the performance of zero-engraved SER4, I also told you at the beginning of the article, zero-engraved SER4 equipped with AMD Ryzen™ 7 4800U processor, after using Master Lu for hardware evaluation, you can see that the score of the processor is 378228 points, the comprehensive performance score is also good, usually use the zero-engraved SER4 to edit videos, offices and light and moderate games is completely no problem.
Zero-tick SER4 uses TxBENCH to test the read and write speeds of the hard disk.
Zero-tick SER4's 3DMark Time Spy benchmark results are actually shot. In addition, under the Time Spy stress test, the zero-tick SER4 passed the test with a score of 99.9%, which also shows that the zero-tick SER4 performed well in heat dissipation. As for the specific heat dissipation design, the zero-moment SER4 uses a combination of cooling fans and copper tubes, and the noise caused by the cooling fan in daily use is also very small, unless it is in the dead of night, it will basically not be noticed.
Although the product positioning of zero-moment SER4 is not a game console, I still used zero-moment SER4 to simply test several games, after all, the performance of zero-moment SER4 is not bad, and it is not a way to experience it when it is used to play games after work.
Zero-engraved SER4 plays the game "Original God" with medium resolution and graphic quality of 1920 * 1080, which can reach more than 40 FPS.
If the graphic quality is set to low, the FPS can be up to 60.
Zero-time SER4 plays The Witcher 3 game at 1920*1080 resolution, and the FPS can be about 40 (Note: the image quality is set to low).
Adjust the resolution to 1280*720 to play, and the FPS can go up to 60.
Finally, I played DNF with zero-moment SER4, and its FPS performance was also good. Then I tested LOL, and the zero-tick SER4 performed well, but I won't put the picture here.
Overall, zero-engraved SER4 can be used to play games, but after all, it is only a mini computer host, and the positioning is not the main game, so you do not start with the "main game" mentality to start with zero-engraved SER4, like "Original God" will adjust the graphic quality to low FPS to reach 60, so zero-engraved SER4 can not be satisfied with playing games in high quality.
Zero-cut SER4: A mini computer host that's a good experience
On the whole, I think that zero-moment SER4 in the same price point of the mini computer host still has a certain advantage, the experience is also very good, not only the performance is powerful, the interface design is also rich, as the main work computer of the family and the company in daily life to use is completely no problem, pay attention to not as a transition machine to use, but the main machine; at the same time in the store to connect the large-screen display equipment or projector to play high-definition movies is also a good use, and small and exquisite as the TV box-like design, It also saves space in the store and is easy to install and place.
If you think that the performance of zero-engraved SER4 is still somewhat "excessive" or not satisfied with your performance, or you want to start with a smaller mini computer host, then you can go to see other models of Zero-engrave, you should be able to find the right one for you.
