● E-commerce hot sale thousand yuan notebook is not should be bought, but can not be bought?
Prologue: Soon it is the May Day holiday, I believe that many people have the idea of buying and changing the book during the holiday, but among the many notebook products, there is a product that is very "tempting", and the "tempting" mentioned here refers to the price of attractive. Have you ever thought that if a notebook product with a "high-tech" content only sells for 1,000 yuan (yes, 1,000 yuan), it would be my first choice for changing books! I really don't lie to you, there are really such products, and the number is very large, and the sales are very good. So, what is the quality of these thousand-dollar notebooks? Does it really work? How does it work? Our horizontal evaluation in this issue is to "remove the false and save the truth" for the majority of users, and evaluate whether the thousand-dollar notebook can be used in the end? Should I buy it?
Text: Cut off the rather inattentive packaging and crappy giveaways, when a thousand dollars in front of me, I was stunned that I could not shout a "expensive" word. The high-imitation MacBook Air shape with a silver body, simple and atmospheric, the logo on the back can even shine, filling the regret since the MacBook 12. However, the good times did not last long, and after a quarter of the incense, I decided to throw these thousand dollars in the trash.
Adhering to the Internet thinking of "seeing is believing, no picture has no truth", I first released a very representative dismantling diagram. This notebook comes from a manufacturer with a very Apple temperament, of course, I am talking about the name - iFUNK. This iFUNK Notebook 1S sold nearly 300 units on Tmall in the month, with a praise rate of 94%, but from the dismantling chart, we can feel the manufacturer's control of the product and the pursuit of the extreme, and its windy line and exaggerated space utilization are the biggest jokes I have seen since I was in the industry.

In order not to waste too much time on these products, I have published the condensed test results here, and attached our purchase recommendations. The introduction and test content of the participating models will start from the second page, including the workmanship, performance and audio and video experience that everyone pays more attention to. The author will provide more detailed test conclusions and critical thinking about the development of the notebook industry and e-commerce after the test content.
● Test Conclusion:
First of all, the advantages, the test of the thousand yuan of the almost clear water 1080P screen, there is actually a high color gamut IPS. In contrast, international manufacturers still use 768P garbage TN screens in low-end products, and even low-end TN screens are also equipped in the main low-cost game books. At this point, the faces of the international manufacturers should be red! Here are the cons.
1, is the tablet, the vast majority of thousands of yuan is essentially changed by the tablet, hard disk we only use eMMC!
2, the only two notebooks are not only one appearance but also use black films, which can be called the Haier brothers who have been lost for many years!
3, performance is not the slag in the general sense, use chrome to see 720P "The Name of the People" on iQiyi!
4, born for fever, do not run points, a running point will be mad, a hair will be hot. PS: Open a Ps also crazy!
5, the battery capacity is small is a small matter, there is no manufacturer, implementation standards and numbers, really afraid of boom!
● Purchase Recommendations:
1, of course, it is not recommended to buy, poor workmanship, poor performance, there are safety hazards, service life is worrying, to put it bluntly, these thousands of yuan are mostly unqualified products, think of the manufacturer in order to sell 600 pieces of things to 1000 pieces, actually put the tablet on the shell of the notebook, it is really difficult for these capitalists.
2, buy this e-commerce channel recommended Jingdong self-operated, the test of thousands of yuan all in Tmall to buy, Tmall similar brands there are many, and in the comment area almost clear a water praise, suspicious. Only one of these thousand yuan is sold in Jingdong itself, and it can see the real evaluation of buyers, which is more trustworthy in comparison.
● The overall workmanship is rough, and the internal structure is chaotic
There are a total of 7 models participating in this review, all of which are Tmall hot models. One of them is a comparison model, that is, the tablet form of on-hand oBook11 Plus, the remaining 6 models are notebook form, namely IFUNK Notebook 1S, Yepo Sharp 3PLUS, Comet Man Daysky D L7/A3, Zhongbai Jumper EZBOOK 2, Attack A3, Dai Rui DERE v16p. The table below shows the main information for the 7 participating models.
Key information on the 7 participating models
If you can tolerate the cheap feel, creaky fuselage and informal crevices, these seven machines are definitely the most favorable taunt of "what bike to 1,000 pieces". Imitation MacBook Air flattering practice to make the façade of the thousand yuan book still look OK, especially Dai Rui DERE v16p is not only an all-metal body, but also carried out the diamond cutting process process that manufacturers often hang on their mouths around the trackpad, which is forced!

If you have a little bit of excitement here, the following is "a thunderbolt kucha on a sunny day". There is always a sense of emptiness in the hand, and in order to understand the source of this empty feeling, the author carried out the most thrilling dismantling machine ever. (Because onda oBook11 Plus is a tablet form, it is not dismantled)
The truth is that as you can see, the source of the feeling of emptiness is internal emptiness. Let's first look at the overall layout, IFUNK Notebook 1S windy line let the author feel the enthusiasm of Picasso- style; and Yepo Sharp 3PLUS shows the craftsman spirit of "what can be solved with tape, never use a screw"; the motherboard size of the Zhongbai EZBOOK 2 is only one-tenth of the size of the entire space, which is definitely an excellent choice for men to hide private money; Dai Rui DEAL V16p is 11.6-inch fuselage, the overall appearance is more compact; while comet Daysky D L7/A3 and attack A3 can be called the long-lost Haier brothers, not only using the same mold, even the model is A3, once let the author doubt the ambiguous relationship between the two.
Let's look at the motherboard, Comet Man Daysky D L7/A3 and Tapping A3 are notebooks in the traditional sense, with mSATA hard disks and pluggable memory, unfortunately, the flash memory particles are almost all white or black, not to mention the brand. In contrast, the remaining four motherboards are not only small, but also very highly integrated, a silicon pad or aluminum plate constitutes all the passive cooling system, and the characteristics of the hard disk using eMMC also expose the real body of its tablet, which is no different from the Onda oBook11 Plus.
There is also a hidden danger, that is, the battery. The information marked on the thousand yuan battery is only the capacity voltage, and the face is wrapped in black soft plastic, and the direct naked running that does not care is not cared, such as Yepo Fengrui 3PLUS. In these batteries can not find any relevant manufacturers, implementation standards and battery numbers, I believe that everyone is still impressed by the battery boom incident of an international manufacturer.

Of course, the thousand yuan is not without merit, three of which reserved SATA interface, convenient for users to install a second hard disk, worthy of praise, this is the international manufacturers shout every day "the best solution to solve the speed and capacity - double hard disk" . In fact, the dual hard disk is not a rare technology, but the international manufacturers have no breakthrough in technology, so they take the double hard disk as a marketing shield, which is not a deliberate and helpless performance.
● Weak performance is essentially flat plate transformation
Through disassembly, I believe that everyone has a certain understanding of the positioning of the thousand-dollar book, and we will take a look at the performance of the "true Intel quad-core" and "high-speed eMMC" advertised by the seller. What is more interesting is that the seller only said that the four-core did not say the model when advertising, which is quite similar to the "Snapdragon True Eight-Core" we heard in the roadside OV store. The following table shows the detailed parameters and software test data of the participating models.
Parameters and theoretical performance of 7 participating models
If you have no concept of cold data, the author hereby presents the test data of the Dell Burning 7000 i5 version for ordinary users. Comparing the data, we found that the performance of the so-called "true Intel quad-core" is only about one-fifth of that of the low-voltage i5, and the write performance of the "high-speed eMMC" is an order of magnitude different from that of ordinary SSDs.
Dell Burn 7000 parameters and theoretical performance
From the perspective of processor models, Celeron and Atom are almost equally divided, and in terms of performance, Celeron is a little stronger than Atom. But whether it is the Celeron J1900 or the Atom x5, intel is a product launched by Intel for low-power and mobile platforms, and the performance is estimated to be impossible to do even the Snapdragon 835. Used as a netbook is still a little reluctant, if it is as commercial and portable as the seller's promotion, it will really be killed, and the game will not be thought of, such as The Derre v16p will have a trackpad failure under high load.

eMMC is a standard specification for embedded memory (Wikipedia) developed by the MMC Association, mainly for products such as mobile phones or tablets, so it is not an advantage to say that a notebook is equipped with eMMC. eMMC due to its own characteristics, the read and write speed can not be compared with ordinary SSDs, such as the onda oBook11 Plus hard disk continuous write speed of only 17MB/s, even the mechanical hard disk is not as good. Only two models equipped with mSATA are made of black and white films, and the quality and longevity are worrying.
By the processor and hard disk two we can see that most of the thousand-dollar notebook is essentially changed by the tablet. Both the hardware configuration and the performance belong to the tablet level, which explains why the motherboard seen during the disassembly session is so small. Friends who often visit Tmall will find that the price of similar configuration tablets is mostly between 400-900 yuan, and changing a plastic shell for a large screen can raise the price to 1000-1300 yuan, which makes people sigh: or you make money fiercely!
● The screen is acceptable, but the viewing and use experience is too poor
Knowing the fact that they are tablets, the author said, "What can I do, I am also desperate." Since it is a tablet, let's test the drama chasing and daily operation experience, which mainly includes three items: screen quality, online video playback and input experience. The first is the screen quality, the following table lists the screen information of the participating machines.
Screen data for 7 participating models
Give the praise first! In addition to the A3, the rest of the models are all Qingyishui 1080P screens, of which Yepo Fengrui 3PLUS, Dai Rui DERE v16p and Onda oBook11 Plus are high-color gamut IPS screens with wide viewing angles, which is the conscience of the industry. As a contrast, some international manufacturers still use the 768P TN screen in the low-end product line, and even use the poor TN screen in the low-cost game book, which really makes a sound. The rest of the models use the ordinary color gamut of 1080P TN screen, the display effect is decent, the viewing angle is very poor, and the notebook eight years ago is not inferior.
It should be noted that the ifunk Notebook 1S screen is not a perfect screen, there is a bad spot at the top left of the screen. According to the introduction on the instruction manual, there are some bad spots that are normal, please feel free to use. Buy a bad point screen to blame consumers themselves?

In terms of system, IFUNK Notebook 1S with bad points on the screen uses the Win8.1 system, comet Daysky D L7/A3 and attack A3 all use Ghost Win7, in order to facilitate even the official system plus activation tools are saved, the rest are using the latest Win10 system. Considering the differences between different operating systems, we decided to use the Chrome browser to test the experience of playing online videos, the test content is to play the first episode of the 720P version of "The Name of the People" in the iQIYI web version, mainly testing two parts: video fluency and sound expression.
In terms of fluency, the notebook-shaped Comet Daysky D L7/A3 and the Capture A3 perform best, with smooth pictures. The rest of the models all appeared visible to the naked eye, and found that the CPU occupied up to 80% through the task manager; in terms of sound expression, there was no suspense all of them had a glitch feeling. Dere v16p has the most say in these two aspects, and it is stuck and hot, and the voice is sharp as if it has seen a ghost.
Play online video CPU usage up to 80%
In terms of input experience, the trackpad of the thousand yuan book reminds me of a Russian wrestler, which is really hard, pressed up and crackled, and friends who are learning piano can save a finger; compared to the keyboard, it feels softer, but there is no typing fun. Among them, I have to mention IFUNK Notebook 1S, the keyboard trackpad is not only hard, but also comes with spring sound effects (the keyboard is loose) when typing, which brings the author an unprecedented input experience.
● Words to thousands of dollar books and notebook manufacturers
Testing and experience ends here. If you use "the forest is big and there are birds" to describe the Internet market, for the thousand yuan book, the author is more inclined to "wolf in sheep's clothing". Due to sampling reasons, the above test results do not represent the entire thousand yuan market, so the following remarks are only for the tested products, and other thousand yuan manufacturers can also take a seat at their discretion.
When I saw that the certificate of conformity of the thousand-yuan book was a thumb-sized piece of triangular paper, the author couldn't help but ask himself: How many pieces can be made for a dollar! This piece of paper is the best portrayal of the quality of the thousand-dollar book. If nothing else, simply changing a tablet to a notebook is enough to be mad. According to this idea, those who do fans can sell air conditioners, and DJI should not do drones, simply sell helicopters.
Thousand yuan certificate of conformity
In cases where product quality cannot be guaranteed, the biggest victim is always the consumer. We see that because most of the essence of the thousand-dollar book is a tablet, the internal design is messy, and even in order to save profits, tape is used to fix the parts; in the use of hardware is also extremely cost-saving, flash memory with black sheets, batteries do not know which one to do. These two involve data and security, which are related to the most vital interests of users, but they do not have the most basic protection.
The economic base determines the superstructure, and the weakness of hardware makes the availability of products not high. In fact, the seller did not tell a lie when advertising, such as "true quad-core", "high-speed eMMC", etc., but for the little white who did not understand, it was as sinister as the jianghu. Weak performance coupled with unreliable components has achieved the product characteristics of "watching the film card can be hot at any time".
The Celeron N3150 is advertised as a high-performance quad-core
Of course, the thousand yuan is not without merit, almost a clear water 1080P screen should get applause, especially 3 of them also use IPS screen, while many famous notebook brands are stingy. The low-end product line of about 3,000 yuan still uses a 768P screen, and the most hateful thing is that it is also equipped with xx technology for external publicity, which should really let a thousand yuan teach a "shame" word how to write.
If the author is not mistaken, when gtX1050/GTX1050Ti was just launched, many game books equipped with these two graphics cards, most of them are 1080P TN screens, not that IPS must be better than TN, but the TN screens used by manufacturers are too garbage, but the viewing angle, color gamut color accuracy are very poor, and the success is tied with the thousand yuan book. Interested friends can take advantage of the fact that these game books are still on sale, and quickly see which "big factories" are.

Another feature of Qianyuanben is that international manufacturers should be silent and cry - double hard disks. The double hard disk as an important selling point of the product is the performance of the end of the road, the thousand yuan of the double hard disk is only an understatement, the notebook double hard disk is not what a profound technology, the product has no characteristics to take this as a publicity shield. The big factory uses the double hard disk as a propaganda, in fact, it is saying to everyone: I have no characteristics at all, what can I do, I am also very desperate.
● Reflections on the thousand yuan of e-commerce sales
Earlier we mainly discussed the product level, let's talk about sales channels. Often everyone will laugh at the 10 yuan headphones on the overpass, but if these 10 yuan headphones are brand packaged and sold through online stores, I believe that many friends will be attracted by low prices, and the sales model of thousand yuan is so.
Of course, we are not targeting Tmall, although these thousands of dollars were bought from Tmall. The author has two questions about e-commerce channels, one is why unqualified products can be sold publicly? Second, why is there such acclaim in the user evaluation system?
The praise of Tmall Qianyuanben is doubtful
On the first question, in fact, e-commerce is also helpless. We take Tmall as an example, merchants need to provide information including "production, business scope, product safety qualifications" and other information, and with the author's limited experience in the industry, qualification fraud is almost known to everyone in practitioners, which search engines have the most say. Therefore, large e-commerce companies such as Tmall do not have 100% guarantees as to whether the product is qualified, and from this point of view, Tmall is also a victim of fakes.
Regarding the second question, because Tmall's user evaluation system does not classify good, medium, and bad reviews, users have to be troublesome when filtering. I believe that many friends have encountered the situation of being "killed by the seller" because of a bad review, and the seller's "coercion and inducement" behavior has greatly reduced the guiding consumption function of the evaluation system, not to mention the well-known "brushing orders" of women and children.
JD.com's self-operated evaluation is more authentic
Overall, if you have a purchase need, our advice is to choose Jingdong self-operated, for example, only 1 of the participating machines is sold in Jingdong self-operated, and more real evaluations can be seen in the user evaluation system, compared with the probability of "winning".
● Summary: Don't buy
The conscience of the manufacturer is reflected in the product, and the core of the product lies in the quality. From the thousand yuan book of this review, we can basically see that the idea that "conscience is not as real as good as money" has been deeply burned in the bone marrow of some manufacturers. Therefore, our attitude towards the Thousand Yuan Ben is very clear: How far away the Western Heavens are from me, please stay so far away from me!
In today's thousand-yuan book is about to take 1080P and dual hard disks as standard, should the big manufacturers that claim to be international brands review their own products? Marketing is very important, but I believe that the product is the most important, still in the low-end product line to use 768P, in the low-end game book to use low-end TN, the dual hard disk said that the god of the manufacturer, do you want to eat dates and pills!
Purchase channelsIf you choose e-commerce, it is recommended that you shop around. However, if you encounter electronic products like Qianyuanben, we recommend that you look at the evaluation in Jingdong self-operated. After all, the problem of fakes is not a matter of lip service, and we believe in the words of Grandpa Deng Xiaoping: No matter whether the black cat is a white cat, the one who can catch a mouse is a good cat!
