ThinkPad has continued to perform this year. At the beginning of the year, the ThinkPad displayed the latest X1 Family flagship computers at a high-profile exhibition. The brand new concept and excellent performance of the prototype won the attention of all exhibitors. In the April of this year, X1 Carbon 2016 after the sale of fame and fortune also proved the success of this series. Xiao Bian brings the evaluation of this series' second performance X1 Tablet today, hoping to let everyone know more about this two-in-one tablet with a new concept.
Signboard Black and Red Belief Blessed Productivity Specialized Keyboard Design
In the previous E-series and S-series, the ThinkPad had silver, red and even custom versions of the fuselage, these relatively younger body design can be very attractive to young users to join the Think family. On the X1 Tablet, which locates the flagship of the brand, they created the new classic of the new era by using the closest black, white and red colors.
The color of faith is still pure black with red
The front ThinkPad X1 Tablet boasts an IPS wide-view touch screen with a resolution of up to 2160×1440. The 3:2 aspect ratio makes it even more versatile for office use.
The right side of the screen has a compact push-type fingerprint recognition module, this module can play more than just unlock the application scene when using the new Windows Hello. Compared with other old scanning fingerprints, it also has a higher recognition rate. Even if the hand is not very clean or wet, it can be successfully identified.
In addition, the X1 Tablet is equipped with a stylus with a 2048-level pressure to further expand the use of the X1 Tablet.
In terms of interfaces, the interfaces of the X1 Tablet are centralized on the right side of the fuselage. The traditional USB 3.0 interface and the TYPE-C interface coexist at the same time to solve the problems of device compatibility, transmission speed, and power interface (TYPE-C interface and With power interface function, Micro SD card slot can expand more capacity, while MiniDP interface meets the needs of external projectors and high-definition video signal output. And with a replaceable battery extension kit, the X1 Tablet also has a complete HDMI interface and an additional USB 3.0 expansion interface.
In the left side of the fuselage is a notebook keyhole, volume control keys and power button. The stable and rich interface design allows it to have the commercial features of other two-in-one flat-panel notebooks, from the use of pressure-sensitive stroke sketches to the presentation of PPT through a video interface to the projector.
In addition to the native touch-sensitive touch screen + push-type fingerprint recognition input method, the dedicated keyboard protection sleeve has inherited the ThinkPad's keyboard feel. The full-size keycap, 60g precision feedback force and the most classic TrackPoint red dot system have been perfectly preserved. Even without an external mouse, the cursor can be controlled quickly and accurately, even when a large amount of typing is performed. Have inherent advantages.
While ensuring the keyboard feel, the ThinkPad also designed a large touch pad with a first-class feel for users who are not accustomed to using red dots. The touch sense that has accumulated over the years has also been inherited.
Replacement Series Kits Endless Extensibility Basis
Underneath the X1 Tablet's body, the ThinkPad has specifically designed a contact system that not only can connect seamlessly to the keyboard, but also has access to the expansion kit. The emergence of this system makes the X2 Tablet truly distinguishable from other two-in-one flat-panel notebooks. The near-unlimited expansion height enables it to meet the demands of more special scenes. It combines a pressure-sensitive touch screen and a top-notch keyboard to create a two-in-one fit. The best productivity tool in a tablet.
The source of unlimited scalability
Xiao Bian got the battery expansion module for testing, only need to remove the keyboard cover and then open a layer of protective interface cover, you can directly use the battery kit and the fuselage to use a magnetic connection fixed, and then find a good angle to re-fasten It completes the installation.
Battery expansion module
The module is easy to disassemble, and it can be completed in a few seconds.
In addition to providing more than five hours of battery life, this battery expansion module also has a OneLink interface, an HDMI interface, and a USB 3.0 interface. While extending the endurance, it also greatly expands the use of the X1 Tablet. It is completely OK to connect multiple monitors or projectors to connect multiple peripherals.
Extended interface
The official expansion kit now announced, there should be more styles later
In addition to the battery expansion kits Xiaobian has already played, the official will also introduce more expansion modules (including but not limited to the 3D scanning module and projection module that have been released) for X1 Tablet users to purchase. In the future, you can purchase the corresponding kit to complete the function according to your own different work needs. This has the idea of ​​productivity and creativity, and only Lenovo ThinkPads that have many years of experience in manufacturing and two-in-one product manufacturing have been able to do this. .
The powerful performance is unambiguous and the Core M is also very powerful
In terms of core hardware selection, the sixth-generation Core M7-6Y75 from Intel has kept the overall power consumption and heat level while ensuring that the CPU performance is still at the top level. The advanced Skylake architecture and 14nm manufacturing process have brought even more improvements. With good energy consumption ratio and technological advancement, low heat generation, high performance and long battery life have become properties that can be both possessed. After all, only 4.5W TDP, which also makes high life possible.
High performance and low power consumption
The top CPU also brings the upgrade of the core graphics. The HD 515 has a lot of room for improvement compared to its predecessor, the HD5200. It has reached a very high level in the 3D Mark graphics test, not even losing the entry-level discrete graphics.
HD 515 is enough to deal with some online games, and the basic 3D acceleration is also OK
The 8GB memory configuration is more than enough for day-to-day office work. Even ultra-large table documents can be loaded instantly. And according to the needs, X1 Carbon can expand the memory to 16G at maximum, and it is very smooth to process with PS every day.
It is a pity that the specification of DDR3 is still a bit. If it can be replaced with a higher speed DDR4
At this time, computers still lacking SSDs are basically rogue. The X1 Tablet can carry a maximum of 256G SSD, which has since broken the last threshold of computer speed.
The test machine should be equipped with SATA channel SSD, even if it can make the X1 Tablet fly up in the speed of loading documents.
In the overall performance test, whether it is the CineBench favoring theoretical performance or the more practical PCMark, the X1 Tablet with balanced hardware configuration is hand-to-hand and unambiguous in testing.
CineBench test results, 6Y75 play amazing
Nearly 5000 points, you still believe he is a combo?
Maybe everyone still recognizes this value
Endurance to the best heat dissipation fanless design straightforward
In the heat-dissipation test, we still use AIDA 64 to perform the dual roasting of CPU and GPU for testing. After one hour of testing, we can see through the thermal imager that the picture clearly shows that almost all of the heat is perfect as the alloy case quickly spreads out of the machine and heats up compared to other two-in-one tablet notebooks. To come to be more efficient, combined with the use of stylus pens will not be completely hot touch screen can not touch the problem.
Screenshot of the test process
After one hour of continuous roasting, the heat distribution map shows that heat dissipation is very fast.
Combined with power consumption, the overall power consumption of the entire machine is only 30W, but the overall power consumption of the 5W standby is also outstanding, laying the foundation for good battery life.
No-load and full-load power test
In the battery life test, we use PCMark8 to allow it to fully load the test battery life. Due to the harsh test conditions, the actual battery life is usually about 2 times the theoretical value of the test. The X1 Tablet is a two-in-one flat-panel notebook with a preference for commercial positioning. This battery life is enough for everyday use.
No external battery life kit can have nearly 7 hours of actual life time
If you add battery life kits, even if you work outside the house, you don’t have to worry about power. Up to 7 hours of full-load life time means more than 14 hours of actual life, and you can really work all day without using an external power supply.
Even if you are fully loaded, you can have more than 7 hours of battery life.
to sum up
As a new concept two-in-one computer product with good feel, excellent performance, superior energy consumption ratio and near-infinite scalability, the X1 Tablet is different from any previous two-in-one tablet notebook device and is truly a It is a good partner for the "productivity weapon." The security of the fingerprint identification, small size and portability, and the black exterior design of a classic look also make it easier for business people to get the favor.
Modular and sophisticated productivity tools, the first to achieve this idea is the experienced ThinkPad
Two-in-one tablet development has now reached three different sub-divisions - continue to thin and stylish fashion lines and thickness, plus more functional indicators when the entertainment terminal and the X1 Tablet open the hone and feel Details make it a powerful productivity tool. Xiao Bian believes that the mature product like the X1 Tablet will be the representative and leader of the "Tablet Notebook Productivity Tool." Other manufacturers who have experience in commercial products will inevitably keep up with the production of their own productivity tools, let this new subdivision. The category is more lively ~
