The current strategy of the ASUS Pro series product line is to take advantage of some trade-offs in thickness to achieve high-performance organic OLED screens. This time, the Intrepid Pro 14 Ryzen Edition has a new mold. What's changed with this new mold? In order to let everyone have a deeper understanding of the hardware of this notebook, we will directly dismantle it and introduce it while disassembling it.
Cooling
Let's first take a look at the heat dissipation aspect of the Intrepid pro14, a thin and light notebook that uses dual fans and dual heat pipes to dissipate heat. Compared with the previous generation of ASUS thin and light notebooks, the heat dissipation performance is better, which can fully ensure the normal release of notebook performance.
memory
Looking at the memory, this Asus Fearless pro14 thin and light book uses on-board 16GB memory, dual channel, DDR4 3200MHz type, which is currently the mainstream thin and light memory on the market.
hard disk
On the hard disk, it is equipped with a 512G M.2 PCIE 3.04 SSD, which is the new model of Hynix this year. CrystalDiskMark's running score is shown in the image above. The continuous read and write speeds were 3604 MB/s and 3020 MB/s, respectively, and the 4K score also reached 56 MB/s and 129 MB/s, which was excellent performance.
battery
At the bottom is a 63Wh battery, which is already quite large as a 14-inch notebook.
network card
The wireless card is equipped with MT7921, supports WiFi 6, and has a total uplink and downlink rate of 2400Mbps. This is definitely fast enough for the average person, even if there is a NAS at home. Measured, telecom's 500-meter fiber optic broadband reception signal is relatively strong, and every wall is a signal. With the WiFi 6 router, the downlink speed can perfectly run through the surplus bandwidth of the telecom, reaching 570Mbps, and the latency is relatively low.
sound
In terms of audio and video, the resolution of 2.8K has reached the retina level, and the display effect is extremely delicate when viewing the screen at normal distance. The organic OLED material with a peak brightness of 600 nits (VESA DisplayHDR 500 True Black certification) allows you to get even more stunning contrast when enjoying HDR movies. It is pure black, bright and dazzling, and the color tends to be more natural. Combined with the stereo Harman Kardon speaker, it is a double enjoyment of sight and sound.
Screen aspect
The Intrepid Pro14 has 2.8K resolution organic OLED material, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, high refresh rate of 90Hz, 600 nits peak brightness, Pantone color certification. These parameters are magically fused together to form an excellent screen that, at sufficient brightness, is transparent and vivid to the naked eye.
The screen also received Pantone color certification. Pantone color certification is actually extremely rare in the notebook industry. It generally only appears on high-end monitors. Its emergence is as exciting as the ZEISS certification and the small gold label certification. It is Pantone's authoritative color standard in painting, textile, printing, plastics, digital technology and other fields. This means that the screen can achieve extremely accurate color reproduction, and the color display is consistent with the actual product. Each of pro14's screens is factory-rigorously color-corrected, with its own color profile, making it the best choice for graphic designers and Adobe software users.
After the comprehensive upgrade, the Fearless Pro 14 can be said to consolidate the popularity of 2.8K organic OLED "Asus Good Screen". The screen looks unmatched at the same price point, with excellent performance release (from 50W in the first 20 minutes to 50W at constant voltage), better surface temperature control, and longer battery life.
Pursuing the color, performance and performance release of organic OLED screens, the Fearless Pro 14 is still the best choice for 4k thin and light books.
