Whether they are new to campus or the workplace, many people will face a problem: the purchase or upgrading of laptops. I still remember when I first entered the workplace to change computers, I didn't know a lot about notebooks, but as a programmer industry practitioner, many people around me were using MacBook Pro, so I bought a MacBook Pro in line with the principle of "expensive and expensive".
However, with the increase of working hours, some experience accumulated in doing digital evaluation, listening to the dictation of friends in various industries around me, I slowly have some insights into what aspects of notebooks should be focused. Just these days, I experienced the ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen™ edition of this notebook, I think it is especially suitable for friends who have just entered the campus or the workplace, and I can't help but share my experience with you.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > stylish appearance and careful design</h1>
For friends who have just entered the workplace or just gone to college, an electronic product that is often carried with them must be the first, even if I, a social animal who has been working for nearly ten years, is a face control for the things that are often used. The ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition I use, needless to say, has a screen size of 14 inches, which is biased towards business, learning, and light travel.
Because of the use of many years of 15.4-inch MacBook Pro, its carry-on attributes are second only to mobile phones, commuting, going out and leaving the door are brought around, so when I get the Asus Fearless Pro14, the first feeling is small, whether it is placed in the bag, or go to the café, the space occupied is relatively small, carrying and using it is very convenient, after all, it has been tortured by the two points of carrying and space occupied by the large screen for many years.
The screen cover of this Asus Fearless Pro14, that is, the A-side, uses a more stylish metal material, similar to the anodized aluminum of the mobile phone, which feels delicate and frosted, and it is not easy to leave fingerprints. The overall design is also very simple, with a large area of white space, only a raised Asus Fearless series LOGO. For friends who like personalization, you can use your imagination and paste some cultural stickers. And even if the metal surface is left with glue when it is torn, it only needs to be wiped with a degummant, which is very good to handle.
The B-side border design is also relatively narrow, the shape design is actually more moderate, there is no feature, and there is a front camera and microphone at the top. It is worth saying that the front camera has a physical mask switch, which is still more careful about the detailed design of privacy protection and is very humane.
Although the C side and the D side use composite materials, in terms of feel and color, they are basically the same as the metal on the A side, and although they do not look high-end, they are simple and fashionable enough, which is very suitable for the temperament of young people. And the touchpad on the C surface is also different from the common notebook, the touchpad area of the ASUS Fearless Pro14 is larger, and in the actual use process, there is no false touch phenomenon, it is estimated that there is a certain anti-false touch optimization in the software.
The D-side also has a cooling hole at the bottom of the regular, and the small openings on both sides are speakers, and its real fan is not at the bottom when it dissipates heat, but at the bottom of the screen like the MacBook Pro. Although it is a 14-inch portable book, it is still equipped with two cooling fans, so even if you lie on the sofa or sit on a blanket and play with the computer, you will not be able to dissipate heat because you cover the bottom.
Asus Fearless Pro14 has only two conventional USB-A interfaces on the left side, while the right side of the interface is more abundant, power supply, high-speed USB-A, high-speed Type-C, HDMI, TF card slot and 3.5mm headphone interface, whether it is input or output, are mainly on the right side, the left side is mainly connected to the key mouse and other peripherals.
As far as the overall appearance is concerned, asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Version is a simple and fashionable style, which is also the style that most young people like, and the line design is also relatively sharp, with edges and angles. The details on the surface such as interface, camera cover, fingerprint recognition, backlit keyboard, etc. are also very practical.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="5" > the golden ratio OLED screen, opening a new "horizon"</h1>
To say that this ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition notebook, the most attractive to me is this screen, 2.8K resolution, PPI up to 242, OLED luminescent materials, 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, 90Hz refresh rate, 10bit color depth, 16:10 ratio, etc., in general, there are two advantages, one is daily office, one is the image experience.
Before talking about experience, let's take a look at the objective parameters of this screen. For color accuracy, I also did a screen test using the red spider here, and the color gamut does have a 100% P3 color gamut. After the color accuracy test of 48 colors, the maximum Delta E of the asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition screen is only 2.5, and the average Delta E is only 1.11, which has reached the quality of professional-grade displays, and it is difficult for the human eye to see the color difference.
The final display rating is basically 4.5-5 points, and the final overall score also reaches 4.5, which is a very good screen in terms of color alone.
First take the resolution, our popular 2k resolution refers to 2560x1440, although the Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition screen is 16:10 ratio, according to the popular 2K standard to determine the resolution, it is only 2560x1660, and asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition resolution up to 2880x1800, the number of pixels far exceeds the standard 2k resolution, its pixel density (ppi) also reached 242, higher than the Pixel Density of Apple Retina screen.
In terms of specific experiences, let's talk about the feeling of daily office. What enhances our office experience is the 90Hz refresh rate, 2.8K resolution, and 16:10 ratio. 90Hz refresh rate especially when browsing the web or document, the visual feeling of sliding is very smooth, with 2.8K resolution, the text display is more delicate and sharp, and the visual effect is still more attractive.
Of course, the 16:10 screen ratio is more for the office, especially in viewing office documents, whether it is Word or Excel, asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen™ screen can display a few lines more than the same size 16:9 screen display content. Even when doing video or audio editing, you can see more audio/video tracks than the 16:9 ratio screen, which can greatly improve work efficiency. It can be said that such a screen only does a simple daily office, which is completely oversized.
Before talking about the image experience, let's talk about the two key technologies that affect the image experience, one is OLED luminescent material, and the other is 10bit color depth. Many friends should know that OLED luminescent materials have inherent advantages over LCD materials in terms of energy consumption, contrast, and color purity. And this screen has a 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, which can display more vivid colors and look more translucent.
DCI-P3 color gamut and 10bit color depth have a vital role in color improvement, DCI-P3 color gamut has a color space display that is 33% larger than sRGB, in layman's terms, when watching DCI-P3 color gamut photos or videos, we see redder than before, greener greener, blue more blue, can display more colors, more colors.
And 10bit color depth is easier to understand, many times we are watching some movies or photos, especially sunrise and sunset that color transition is particularly delicate photos, in many display devices will appear color faults, which is caused by insufficient color depth. At present, the color depth of the general notebook screen is only 8bit, and this Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition has a 10-bit color depth, don't look at the difference of only 2bit, this small unit gap, represents the qualitative improvement. 10bit can display 1.07 billion colors, while 8bit can only display 16.77 million colors. In layman's terms, when using a 10-bit deep color monitor to watch those sunrise and sunset photos or movies, there will be no faults, but very soft color transitions.
So there are two aspects to giving me a better experience in images, one is photos and the other is video. Because I usually like photography, but also like to see some other gods of the work, in the color display, Asus Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Version left a deep impression on me, when looking at some starry sky photography works, the sky black is particularly pure, then the stars appear particularly bright. When I look at some of the more colorful works, such as cityscapes, flowers and birds, the rich colors attract me.
In general, the quality of this screen is a highlight of this notebook, whether it is image entertainment, post-color grading or daily office, there is a good experience, the effect is delicate and smooth, the color is bright and accurate. Of course, ASUS has also recently launched the "ASUS Good Screen" strategy, upgrading the screens of many of its series, mainly OLED screens, from the number of colors, color gamut, response speed, peak brightness and other dimensions of all-round improvement. This strategy is a good direction for our consumers and can greatly enhance our visual sensory experience.
In fact, the development of science and technology has been very simple to meet people's basic needs, and at this level, the differentiation of major manufacturers has become very small. The strategic goal of "ASUS Good Screen" is not only to meet the "basic needs", but also to pay more attention to experience upgrades. This is also a reference point for us when choosing products, guiding us to make differentiated choices, which is a good choice for some people who have pursuits in imaging.

In order to take into account different usage scenarios, ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition also has three fan management modes that can be adjusted, namely quiet mode, standard mode, and high efficiency mode. Quiet mode is suitable for night office use, standard mode is more suitable for daily office entertainment, and efficient mode is more suitable for use when running under heavy loads, which can greatly improve operational efficiency. For example, scenes such as playing games and rendering videos can choose to use the efficiency mode.
Although the ASUS Fearless Pro14 Ryzen Edition is a thin and light version, it has a very strong heat dissipation ability and is equipped with two cooling fans. It is precisely because of the strong heat dissipation ability that the CPU of this notebook can stably achieve a performance release of up to 50W, which is not possible with traditional thin and light books. And under the long-term high load operation, the temperature of the keyboard surface is completely acceptable, there is no burning feeling, just can feel some heat.
