According to my many years of purchasing experience, the advice given here is: first of all, to ensure that the choice must be a well-known brand, so that quality control and after-sales will be more guaranteed, and then there is a balance between price, weight and performance.
From the current market mainstream popular model point of view, this year's new HP Star 14 Pro high-performance thin and light book is very suitable, i5 standard voltage processor + 2.8K 90 Hz OLED screen configuration activity price is less than 5000, taking into account the thin and light and performance, the reliability of the brand itself is also guaranteed, there are a variety of colors, especially the first love powder, especially suitable for girls, than the conventional dark gray and silver look too much!
The first impression of hp star 14 pro to me is that the face value is very online. In addition to the main colors of deep space gray and moonlight silver, there are also streamer gold and first love powder, which is very special. The three sides of the fuselage are made of metal materials, 24 processes are polished to a thin body, coupled with delicate surface spraying, texture carving is very good, go to the library to study or go to the café when the atmosphere group is versatile, and even seeing customers in the workplace will not pull down the grade. If it is Yan Control, it is finished!
Of course, the more powerful is the interior of hp star 14 pro, the specific configuration is as follows:
Processor: Intel i5-12500H as standard, up to optional i7-12700H
Storage: 16GB 3200MHz RAM + 512GB SSD
Screen: 14 inch 2880× 1880 resolution 90Hz refresh rate 100% DCI-P3 gamut OLED screen
Battery capacity: 51WHr support 30 minutes 50% fast charging
Weight: Fuselage weight 1.35kg (excluding 90W power adapter)
Interface: USB-A 3.2 Gen1*2, Micro SD card slot, 3.5mm audio interface, USB-C 3.2 Gen2 full-featured interface*2, HDMI2.1*1
From the paper parameters, hp star 14 pro performance in all aspects is very balanced, except to take care of the size and weight of the battery is small to 51WHr, basically no slot point. This small drawback has little impact on the student party, after all, the 8-hour battery life is more than enough for normal class learning, let's take a look at the actual measurement!
Ordinary thin and light books usually use low-pressure versions of the CPU because of the heat dissipation pressure, while the HP Star 14 Pro is very bold to use the standard pressure version. Up to 12th generation Intel ® Core ™ i7 processors, (14 cores 20 threads, 2.3GHz Turbo 4.7GHz) has a 40% performance improvement over the previous generation of processors. 12th Generation Intel ® Core ™, Multi-Heterogeneous, High Energy New Generation!
This one in my hand is equipped with the 12th generation Intel ® Core ™ i5 processor (12 cores and 16 threads, maximum turbo frequency 4.5GHz), which is a typical high-performance standard voltage processor, which is very easy to deal with a variety of daily applications, OFFICE office, AE, Pr video editing, programming, etc., and light games such as LOL can also get an absolutely smooth experience. For college students, notebooks with such performance, whether it is to learn the necessary computer skills for this major, usually self-media creation video, self-learning CAD, MAYA and other 3D modeling are no pressure.
After dismantling the machine, it can be seen that hp star 14 Pro adopts a heat dissipation system with dual heat pipe and dual three-phase motor fan, and the overall size of the upgraded LCP ultra-thin fan is increased by 36%, and the airflow is enhanced by 84%. It is no wonder that the 12th-generation Core i5 and i7 that can suppress the standard press can also carry a discrete graphics card. In addition to ensuring stable performance, the biggest advantage of large-area heat dissipation is that the noise is suppressed at the same time, and it is not easy to produce excessive noise to interfere with others when used in dormitories, libraries, and classrooms. In addition, in the hot weather of July and August, it is not easy to let the keyboard overheat and "burn" to the fingers to affect the operation, which is the "blood and tears lesson" of the old school as a person who has come over, and understands everything.
Moreover, do not underestimate the benefits of the standard pressure processor with good heat dissipation for the performance release of the notebook, just like the car's engine, the performance of the CPU directly determines the responsiveness and stability of the notebook, especially the Star 14 Pro is also a 90Hz high-brush screen notebook, any subtle stutter "do not follow" will be more sensitive.
Game combat, "League of Legends" 1200P highest picture quality, polar smash map, the average frame rate of the game 109fps, smoothness is good.
It is worth mentioning that hp star 14 pro also provides a discrete graphics card version while the volume and weight are basically unchanged. Ray tracing and DLSS special effects, combined with the 12th generation core's standard pressure processor, can play the current mainstream AAA game masterpiece. After reducing a certain picture quality, you can reach a smooth level of more than 60 frames in popular e-sports online games such as "Forever Doomed" and "PUBG". Highly optimized AAA such as GTA5 and Big Cousin 2 in medium quality can be played smoothly.
The screen is the most easy to ignore a point for many students to buy a notebook, refer to the mobile phone, a good screen accounts for nearly half of the cost, absolutely not sloppy. HP Star 14 Pro is still a super standard design on the screen, the highest optional 2.8K 90Hz OLED full sensor screen, the delay is less than 1 millisecond, the mouse movement is faster, there is no smearing, afterimage, "advanced" screen experience is in place. Support 100% DCI-P3 high color gamut, 16:10 ratio screen can display more content, such as web pages or tables, more convenient for learning, office.
In terms of actual experience, the 2.8K screen is delicate, and the OLED screen can achieve pure black level true color accuracy and 1,000,000:1 contrast, which can provide excellent display effects in different applications such as web browsing, picture processing, video playback, etc. The color difference is small and transparent, and the color level is rich. Compared with the ordinary thin and light IPS screen, the HDR video effect is directly crushed, and the quality of this screen can be said to fully meet the needs of the professional courses of art students.
In addition, this screen is also very eye-friendly, supports German Rheinland TuV and EyeSafe certification, hardware anti-blue light. Students who do not like OLED screens can also choose the 2.2K LCD screen version, with the 12th generation i5H, 4000 price range, the cost performance is excellent.
Summary:
merit
Powerful performance, standard voltage 12th generation Core processor, optional display
Solid performance release and heat dissipation materials
Excellent screen quality, eye protection
Thin and light body, texture appearance
Shortcoming:
The battery is slightly smaller
Memory and SSD scalability are slightly insufficient
In general, HP Star 14 Pro high-performance thin and light notebook to have performance, to have a good appearance, for the student party such a notebook whether it is used for learning to improve themselves or future workplace tools can meet the needs very well. Relatively speaking, its shortcomings in terms of scalability are really flawed.
Unless you want to pursue an ultra-high-end experience, most student parties and work parties that need to buy laptops can safely start with HP Star 14 Pro when they encounter discount activities during the summer vacation, which is definitely worth the money.
