Some time ago, I bought an RTX 4060 gaming laptop at the "lowest price in history" and spent 4998 yuan, yes, it was 1 yuan cheaper than the previous cost-effective gaming laptops.
Although it is cheap, the configuration has shrunk well, equipped with a 12th generation i5-12450H processor, and the independent display performance of 100W power consumption has not declined significantly, and it is a strong contender for the king of cost performance.
So how does this game book perform in practice?
Today we will briefly analyze:
Rainbow Hidden Star P15
Left side of the fuselage
The right side of the fuselage
Rear fuselage
It is configured as follows:
i5-12450H processor
RTX 4060 8GB 独立显卡（100W）
16GB DDR5 4800MHz 内存
512GB SSD
15.6-inch 1920×1080 resolution, 100% sRGB color gamut, 144Hz refresh rate, IPS screen
厚度 24.6~24.9mm
Weight 2.22kg
Adapter weight 597g
The current price is 4998 yuan
Its advantages and disadvantages are as follows:
Merit!
1. Cheap and cost-effective
2. Three video output interfaces, good scalability
3. The keyboard temperature is low under high load
Shortcoming!
1. The fan noise is loud under high load
2. The performance of SSDs is average
3. The performance release is relatively conservative
【Upgrade Suggestions】
This laptop is not difficult to disassemble, and the back cover can be removed by removing all the screws on the bottom surface.
The single-channel 16GB DDR5 4800MHz memory is sufficient for most uses, and the machine has two memory slots that can be replaced or retrofitted if needed. The SSD has a capacity of 512GB, the model is Colorful CN600, supports PCIe3.0×4 and NVMe, and the machine also has a 2280 M.2 slot, which can be installed with an SSD if necessary.
【Purchase Suggestion】
1. Pursue higher cost performance
2. Multi-screen expansion needs
3. Price-sensitive consumers
This Hidden Star P15 is the most cost-effective version of the entire P15 series, with only processor differences compared to the previous tests, and it is even available in white.
In terms of screen, the measured color gamut volume is 94.5%sRGB, and the color gamut covers 92.7%sRGB. Taking sRGB as a reference, the average ΔE is 1.78, the maximum ΔE is 3.57, and the measured maximum brightness is 300nits.
In terms of interfaces, the left side of the fuselage is followed by USB-A 5Gbps, USB-A 2.0 and 3.5mm audio interfaces, and the right side of the fuselage is USB-C 10Gbps (supporting DP1.4 core video output) and USB-A 10Gbps interfaces. The rear side of the fuselage is RJ45 network port, power interface, HDMI2.1 (independent display output) and MiniDP1.4 (independent display output).
Note: USB-C outputs the video signal through the core display, and the video output function will be blocked when the direct connection of the independent display card is enabled.
In terms of noise, it has a decibel level of 61.8dB at full load. (34.7dB ambient noise)
In terms of battery life, the PCmark10 endurance test score is 4 hours and 30 minutes. (Scene: Modern Office)
At present, due to some reasons that cannot be said, any RTX 4060 game book can not be lower than 5000 yuan, and the mechanical revolution next door sells for 5049 yuan, and the colorful one has risen to 5299 yuan, without my previous purchase price of 4998 yuan. So if you want a cost-effective RTX 4060 gaming laptop, then you can consider this computer after the price drop.
But if you have high requirements for screen quality and performance release, then this computer may not be suitable for you.
【Heat Analysis】
The picture above is a real picture of the disassembly of the colorful Hidden Star P15, a combination of five heat pipes and two fans.
Room temperature 25 °C
Reflectance1.0
BIOS版本:1.07.03COLO1
In the full load state, the performance mode is turned on, the CPU temperature is up to 94°C, stable at 78°C, the power consumption is 45W, the P-core frequency is 3.1~3.3GHz, the E-core is 2.5GHz, the graphics card temperature is 78.9°C, the power consumption is 100W, and the frequency is 2040MHz.
单烤Stress FPU,CPU温度维持在77°C,功耗65W,P核频率3.9GHz,E核频率3.0GHz。
Single-bake Furmark, the graphics card temperature is maintained at 75.8°C, power consumption is 100W, and the frequency is 2040MHz.
The surface temperature is shown in the graph above, with keyboard keycaps up to 39.7°C in the middle of the keyboard, around 30.2°C near WASD keys, and 33.4°C for arrow keys. The temperature of the left wrist rest is 27.4°C.
In general, the performance release of the Colorful Hidden Star P15 is very conservative, and the temperature is very low in all aspects, and the manufacturer can actually consider [reducing the fan speed while maintaining the performance release], so that the noise will be alleviated a lot, and the temperature will not be too outrageous.
【The Pig King's Conscience Conclusion】
Compared with the current mainstream [ultra-low-cost game book], the orientation of Colorful Hidden Star P15 has certain differences.
Take the mechanical revolution as an example, it is accustomed to using N-1 Ryzen processors without integrated graphics, while Colorful uses N-2 intel processors with core graphics;
The screen of the mechanical revolution is better, even if it is 1080p, it is also a high-brightness screen, and the colorful screen is just improvised;
The mechanical revolution doesn't care much about the appearance, and the colorful even offers a white shell at 5000 yuan;
In terms of peripheral hardware, both are half-hearted.
On the whole,Hidden starP15It's a cost-effective game book,If you can improve the screen quality a little more,It's very competitive。
At present, its price is not suitable, and I hope that the restrictions on 618 can be loosened and return to 4998 yuan, so that price-sensitive consumers will have one more choice.
