Empire's wild hope millet notebook AIR13 detailed assessment

Foreword


Hello, everyone, I am unhappy bear, you can also call me the Buddha, I am very honored to be the denominator of thousands of years and finally become one of the molecules of the millet notebook AIR13 public test, first with me meditation in mind "Auntie is good, Auntie wonderful, Aunt welfare yelling ” in order to increase the odds of winning the test (mistake)


As a big mother powder, I deeply knew that the millet notebook AIR13's public testing activities were extremely noticeable. Whether it was the expectation of a valued friend or the trust of an aunt, I was obliged and obligated to do everything in my power to do this test. The report is as good as possible. This is also the first time I have published a document for more than a decade. I have to open the document first to write the directory structure and then write the content. I hope you can see the great Buddha's sincerity.


The opening remarks said so much, then start talking about today's protagonist, Xiaomi notebook AIR13.


Millet Notebook Air Buy Now - Xiaomi Mall Item.mi.com

Xiaomi brand is believed to be no stranger to everyone. Starting from the 1st generation of millet mobile phones, this brand with “youth + fever” as the slogan has become one of the most powerful dark horses in China’s IT industry, sweeping the low-end mobile phone market and subtly changing it. Consumer spending habits and directly broke the original industry rules.


From Xiaomi Mobile Phone, which was born for the fever, to the full-scale attack of department stores today, Xiaomi sang songs in the praise and criticism of the icy world and brought us unexpected new products one after another.

Today, the long-rumored millet notebook finally unveiled its mystery and appeared before our eyes.


The PC field is a fully mature and fully competitive market. In the presence of Apple, Lenovo, Dell and other internationally renowned big brands, and under the current status of domestic price butchers such as Shenzhou and Haier, the field in which Xiaomi can flex its feet is actually not broad.


As a heavy product in the millet ecosystem, the millet notebook pinpointed Xiaomi's hope and determination to enter the PC industry. Although the product introduction is still slightly exaggerated, it must be said that the AIR12 and AIR13 products are indeed on the configuration, appearance and price Once hit the market hot spot, even if I was a passer-by, I think that this time Xiaomi's product positioning made the Xiaomi notebook win at the starting line.



Different from the 13+15 common size of common brands, Xiaomi chose the 12+13 similar sizes to match the height. This choice is very interesting.


Judging from the actual configuration, Xiaomi's reference model from the MACBOOK 12 and MACBOOK AIR 13, both low-profile, lightweight portable-oriented products.

Such product positioning first satisfies young people's demands for appearance and performance requirements for daily use. At the same time, the hardware configuration of this size will not make the manufacturing cost too high and the selling price will exceed the market's expected negative impact. But may be subject to the production process and manufacturing costs, the actual appearance, size and weight of the two products did not pull away, but more like the same product's high and low configuration relationship.


So first of all personal conclusions in this, if you look at this public measurement decided to buy a millet notebook, I recommend the 13-inch version , in the case of weight, size, shape are similar, AIR13 brings the various improvements The price difference is absolutely not limited to the difference of 1,500 yuan. It is more applicable to the scenario and the price/performance ratio is better.

At the end of the preface, the configuration table is listed so that you can not see the configuration diagram and the students who do not understand this product understand the detailed configuration of the millet notebook AIR13:

So much to say, the following officially entered the unpacking session.


Unpacking 1. Packaging


From this long measurement period of the test, we can see that this product is hot and sought-after, and afterwards, the Buddha has finally received this hot millet notebook AIR13.

The first thing that catches the eye is the packaging. The low-key of this millet is really beyond imagination. In addition to the well-known A surface without LOGO, the LOGO is not printed on the box, only the eye-catching Intel LOGO appears in the lower left corner.

Because it is domestic sales, so the side of the box can not be exempt from energy efficiency labeling stickers, who knows which notebook computer is a three-level energy efficiency, please feel popular, seemingly to see is a...

On the other side, we finally saw the familiar Xiaomi logo, which lists the model, configuration, origin, serial number, etc., about the entire contents of this computer. It is also the only detailed nameplate for inside and outside packaging.

Aunt Zhang has two stickers, although I don't know why there are two different Zhang Aunt stickers, but Zhang Zhang believes in love.

Opening the box to catch the eye is full of bubble plastic ... It seems that Xiaomi is ready for the domestic violence express delivery...

This was sandwiched by a buffer bubble. The bubble wrap was wrapped in the body... I just drank the DELL. I said that the Americans are really big...

Even in the three layers of the third floor, Xiaomi did not forget to put a plastic film on the outer jacket of the body. It looks like a one-time tear. The actual side is the seal of the adhesive. It can be removed without damage...

After untold hardships, we finally saw the real capacity of the body package, there is no LOGO, only the two back-to-back notebooks, plus white packaging, I seem to smell a hint of cold air ... ...

Large side of the packaging "millet notebook"

The other side is Xiaomi's LOGO

On the back is the device nameplate


2. Products


Open the lid, first eye is millet notebook AIR13 body, full of every millimeter

Remove the notebook, the following is an envelope, which is the instructions, why not put two millet stickers, after all, A surface so empty

Take the envelope, below is the only accessory charger

A family portrait, if millet can send a USB-C multifunction converter is better


3. Appearance


Millet laptop uses a full metal body, although the official material is not given, but it should be the same aluminum and magnesium alloy APPLE, plus sandblasting process to create a matte texture.

In the A-side design, Xiaomi broke the design language of all brands on the market, that is to say, there is no design at all...

The smooth metal surface is empty and people can't adapt at first glance. It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi provided a laser-engraved A-side design service for the Xiaomi notebook, but in the face of the current situation in which it is difficult to obtain a hot sale, I think this service is better than nothing.

The back of the design looks very much like the XPS series, the bottom of the strip cooling holes just along the fan - heat pipe, very good for heat dissipation

Open the top cover and see the dark mirrored screen. The advantages and disadvantages of the mirror screen have their own points of view, but in the transparency of the mirror screen is better than the fog screen is certain.

It is worth mentioning that millet brings NTSC 72% color gamut screen to the 13-inch version of the notebook, with FHD resolution, adopting a full-fitting process, a wide viewing angle, and a high-screen ratio, in domestically produced notebooks. The screen parameters and appearance design are quite outstanding.


The keyboard uses a standard notebook compact keyboard. This keyboard has a backlight function to ensure that the keyboard is easy to use in low light conditions, and that using the same silver as the body makes the visual experience more complete. However, it is worrying whether the silver is easy to paint, scratch, and discolor. After all, compared with the durability, the user may prefer to be durable rather than a one-time appearance.

For the feel, this keyboard is similar to most similar products. The specific point is that the keyway is acceptable, the elasticity is weaker, and there is a little “meat” feeling. After all, it is a thin-minded product. We don’t have keyboards for XPS. Hold much hope, not to mention this much cheaper product.

I think there is no point in talking about a keyboard in a super-polarity keyboard. If the sense of the opponent is high and it requires a lot of typing operations, you can prepare a blue-axis mechanical keyboard at home or in the office (if you are afraid to argue with someone else, you can consider the tea/red axis ), even the cheapest products can easily seconds off any notebook keyboard feel, greatly improving work efficiency and mood.

In high-intensity use, the overall temperature of the keyboard is controlled at a comfortable temperature. The heat of the machine is mainly concentrated in the area near the CPU and GPU on the D surface, and the outlet under the screen is hidden.

The millet notebook AIR13 offers two USB 3.0 ports, a USB-C port, a full-size HDMI port, and a headphone jack. The average number of interfaces has been reached, but MACBOOK AIR can provide an interface for SD card readers.

The front has an open cover groove, the overall shape is basically the same with MACBOOK PRO, convenient one-handed opening and closing

The rear side is a metal shaft with the same color as the fuselage, and it feels good. It can be easily opened and closed with one hand, and there is suitable damping so that the cover can be stopped at any desired angle.

The millet is affixed with a plastic protective film on the shaft, which is not intended...

Although the interface richness is qualified, it feels bad in terms of feel and workmanship. Whether it is the conventional USB device or the USB-C charger interface provided by Xiao Mi, it is difficult to pull and insert the hand. This jerky feeling has not touched for a long time. Arrived

The nameplate on the back lists the model information, and more importantly, the LOGO that Xiaomi believes to enhance B is also listed one by one. Impressive is this AKG logo, played for so many years of headphones, you turned out to be a AKG horn...

Looking down, this laser is printed in English on the body...

Designed by Xiaomi in Beijing Made in China......

There is a speaker opening on the left and right sides of the bottom, let us follow AKG's rhythm and play times...

C face wrist rest can not be unfettered with an Intel I5 label

For the first time on the spacebar, you can see the function flag of the disabled touchpad. Generally, this function is integrated in the F key area. As an ordinary user, you do not know what industry will use this function frequently.

The arrow keys use a design similar to MACBOOK 12. The left and right buttons have been enlarged to fill the available gaps, and the up and down keys have added chamfers to make blind hits more clear.

In the middle of the screen there is a millet LOGO similar to the chrome effect, which is also the only millet logo that can be found from the general perspective.

The touchpad is large enough to touch and feel like the MACBOOK series, but the actual use of hand-feeling system in windows can only be said to be good in the windows battle sequence.

In the case of a high load on the computer, the overall temperature of the wrist rest does not appear uncomfortably high due to the fact that the position of the battery is far from the CPU, the GPU, and the heat pipe under the wrist rest.


Like many ultra-thin books, in order to enhance heat dissipation, in addition to the back of the cooling holes, a row of cooling holes is also hidden under the screen to form a complete airflow line. However, many products have previously been criticized by users for this design because hot air will heat the lower part of the screen to more than 40 degrees when the computer is fully loaded. This temperature exceeds the nominal operating temperature range of most screens, which may cause screen damage and accelerated aging.

Like many ultrabooks, Xiaomi Notebook AIR puts the power button in the keyboard array and adds an LED indicator to indicate the running status.

Millet notebook AIR13 equipped with a camera, installed in the center of the screen above, and XPS than we finally did not chat with the other side of the chin ... ...

F key area covers all function keys

I heard that it is very popular now to use a dollar coin as a reference. Everyone appreciates the screen and body thickness of this notebook.

Yeah, here's a criticism of the charging indicator... You look at this color as if it were normal. Actually, it sends out two colors of light... Give me a kind of booth where the little sister is holding a multicolored light stick. The illusion ... We can not reflect some of the atmosphere on the details of the tall, rather than the image of the hard work destroyed in a small LED lights ... ...


4. Accessories


As you know, so-called accessories only this USB-C charger.

As a product that flaunts cost performance, millet notebook AIR does not come with any other accessories. It is understandable that after all, the audience of this notebook also hopes to spend the money on the knife.

This is a 65W charger. The charger of the millet notebook is quite satisfactory in terms of volume and weight. However, one cannot understand that since the plug and the transformer are integrated, why not make a retractable plug? Putting this shape into the bag is no different than posing a huge threat to other items in the bag, and it is very easy to cause the plug to bend.

The wire is also integrated with the charger. I can only give 50 points for this charger design. A charger that can scratch other items at any time is also not portable.

Domestic manufacturers have always spared no effort in following the trend, and millet notebooks have also focused on the USB-C interface. It has to be said that USB-C as a multi-purpose interface is very worthy of promotion, and hopes that more and more USB-C Peripherals can appear before our eyes.


Evaluation

1. Internal workmanship


The evaluation officially began. First we resorted to a big killer. Before that, we removed the Nanqi screwdriver that M5510 bought.

Millet notebook uses T4 type screws, it is worth noting that the length of the screws, do not make mistakes when disassembling

After removing all the screws on the surface, turn the machine over. Experience tells me that the D surface should crash and fall, but the D surface of the millet notebook does not move, and the mother knows that millet also has a screw under the floor mat... Fortunately, you didn't go directly to the plastic bat, otherwise what you see is another tragic story... @My M5510

After an arduous dismantling, the D side was finally removed. You may ask if all the screws are down. Shouldn't they fall directly? Millet's designers don't think so...

Our great designers think that relying on a few small screws is not enough insurance, so designed a plastic buckle for the millet notebook as a second insurance ... ... really difficult for you ... ... let me hold a small bang stick for a long time Don't know why it's impossible to remove the D cover...

Compared with XPS and MACBOOK, the shell thickness of millet notebooks can be said to be the thinnest. In this era of frivolous pursuit, especially in an ultrabook, we should not use the words such as cutting corners to guess the intentions of manufacturers, but the D cover The existence of the urine stains in the inside is what you want to do...

The magical gap of shockproof and soundproof papers also made me wonder. Is this part of the design?

Take a look at these two tapes with fixed dust-proof nets. This casual shape makes me obsessed. Xiaomi thinks that users will not open the machine and take a look...

Let's take a look inside the full picture

Millet notebook AIR13's internal structure design and similar products are similar, after all, is the main cost, can not be forced to have any bright spots and innovation

The 39WH battery claims 9.5 hours of battery life. Friends with certain experience should understand that this is an almost impossible task. Whether it is to drive the 940MX alone, or to run the windows of the electric tiger system, this declaration of endurance is a bit exaggerated.

What I care about most is the small speaker. In my knowledge, AKG never launched any speaker products. The "HARMAN" on this product's identification label made me suddenly realize that this is the AKG mother. The masterpiece of the company Harman Kardon...

Millet is equipped with Samsung PM951 SSD with PCI-E interface for millet notebook AIR13, quite satisfactory configuration, after all, did not expect SM951, millet is not a charity

It is worth mentioning that Xiaomi has another PCI-E slot on the motherboard, which can be equipped with a second SSD. This feature is undoubtedly of great benefit to users who need more storage space. We finally do not need to The old hard drive was removed and hanged in the free time and other fate

But must I say that this wrinkled insulation paper can't get it so cheap? Well, fortunately I'm not a Virgo, or I might have been an obsessive communicator...

Millet notebook AIR13 has a separate graphics card, so the cooling fan has also increased to two, alone to bear the CPU and GPU generated heat, in the performance test this fan's noise performance is pretty good

The design of the dual-fan single heat pipe is criticized by many people. The fact proves that this design does compromise the cooling effect of the system. First, the fan is forced to enter the high-speed range early in the medium and high loads, and the system temperature is controlled under a high load for a long time. Also not optimistic

Tucao time is up again, will this tape out of the room is a few cases ... that the shield cover will fall or how ... ... baby heart ...

And why is there a stout marker on the motherboard power supply interface... Is this really serious production...

Let's take a look at the interface and the thickness of the shell. I think that the millet notebook has only two failing points in use. One is to put the charger into the bag, and the other is to use the charger. One-handed USB interface that can't pull out the data line...


2. Contrast


Here we use MACBOOK AIR 13 as a reference for comparison

It can be seen that thanks to the excellent screen share, millet notebook AIR13 has a big advantage in length and width

The thickness of the MACBOOK AIR is still an overall advantage, although at the millet notebook conference Lei Jun also resorted to the MBA13 as a thickness reference item, said that the millet notebook is thinner than the MBA13 thickest place, but do not forget that MBA13 is a real wedge structure , And millet notebooks are basically the same thickness as MBP. The screen thickness of the MBA13 is even more pleasing than the millet notebook AIR13. It is difficult to imagine that the thickness is a technology that existed in 2012.

Although millet notebook AIR also uses a certain wedge design, compared with MACBOOK AIR, this wedge design formalism is greater than practical significance. Private thought is not as good as the design of the MACBOOK PRO series as design beauty

Everyone has used a metal shaft, the MBA damper is lighter, the opening and closing are more labor-saving, and the millet is less likely to open the lid when face down.

It can be seen that both notebooks are equipped with two conventional USB ports, Xiaomi has a USB-C multi-function charging port, a full-size HDMI, while the MBA has one more Thunderbolt port, and an SD card reader. . From these pictures, it can be seen that the interface processing technology of these two notebooks is very different, which also caused a touch of heaven and earth when the device was inserted and inserted.

Opening two notebooks to the top cover, the MBA’s long-settled “aircraft runway” border is in stark contrast to the millet notebook. After all, from the beginning of the MBA release, Apple did not improve the structure of this screen. It is believed that in the near future, the MBA series will usher in the screen share update, just like the new NMB12.

From this point of view, compared with MBA13, the millet notebook model is more like MBP13

Back to back to feel the difference between the appearance of two computers

Then is the screen contrast test, red, blue and green solid color map is indispensable, Xiaomi this screen performance is stronger than MBA13, naked eye MBA13 screen has obvious whitening, not as good as the millet notebook transparent.

Leakage control, this picture exposure is not adjusted, resulting in late exposure to cause a lot of noise ... ... but it can still be seen, millet laptop screen light leakage control is still good.

Grayscale comparison, as a fine art dog, is very very sensitive to grayscale when writing a black and white manuscript (had used to buy a WACOM marine trash hand-painted screen for the convenience of hooking, and the result was defeated by the garbage gray level and still eating gray... ). This screen's gray-scale performance is weaker than the MBA, probably because of the increased contrast. However, this disadvantage may be hard to find for general work and entertainment.

Levels of contrast, benefit from 72% NTSC color gamut, this screen performance can fully meet the daily use, the color transition is natural, unobtrusive, there is no sudden change in the color spectrum. The MBA's large-scale display of the phenomenon of disjointed color scales is totally unsuitable for the daily needs of art, photography, and video work.

Visual angle test, you can see that the wide angle of view of millet notebook AIR13 this screen is very good, at almost 180 degrees can still clearly see the contents of the screen display, the young couple lying in bed to see a small video, no matter how Don't squeeze so tight! (But is this a good thing? Hahaha)


3. Weight


Millet notebook AIR's measured weight of 1247g actually lower than the nominal 1280g really surprised me...

The relative MBA13 weight is 1340g

Millet laptop AIR13's power supply weight is 222g (my mother used this power to call me)

MBA13's power supply weight is 198g


4. Performance


The performance test is always the content that we are most concerned about, especially in the face of this fragile 940MX, we should be very much interested in knowing what level it is.

Then let's start performance testing!

First of all, CPU-Z is not exempted, millet notebook AIR13 uses the sixth generation of low-voltage I5 6200U, with dual-core four threads, TDP for the protection of the system battery life, the default frequency of 2.3GHz, single-core Rui frequency of 2.8GHz The dual core is 2.7GHz and the core is HD520.

This CPU is the most common version of the low-voltage I5, including products such as the XPS13 9350. Its performance in the face of daily documents, audio and video, light games and so on are sufficient to deal with, do not worry about becoming a performance short board.

The main board information maker is Timi. I have never heard of this brand or OEM factory. I would like to say that the English name of Tencent’s general Tianmei Studios is Timi....MI suffix should be the company’s industrial chain? Timmy? Body meters? Welcome friends to add details.

Single channel 8GB DDR4 memory, when disassembled did not see conventional memory, is it under the two shields, soldered on the motherboard? Checked some information, looks like millet has said that this notebook does not support the replacement of memory, it seems this should be the case.

Nuclear display and independence. Xiaomi provided a low-end standalone 940MX for the millet notebook AIR13 and provided it with 1G DDR5 memory. For this piece of independence, it can be described as mixed, some students say that a single piece is good, you can also play a large game with low specific effects and low resolution, and other students expressed that with their promotion of such a bit of tasteless performance, might as well not alone Significantly reduce overall heat and increase battery life. Before I received this laptop, I checked out some information about the 940MX. In each version of the mobile GPU ladder diagram, this graphics card is simply categorized in the "office-grade graphics card." The specific performance we will launch later.

6200U and desktop 6600K performance comparison, we can make a reference.

The next step was the roasting machine that I loved to see. I felt a bit of a nuisance as soon as I entered the program. At the time of the roasting test on the M5510, the picture was very smooth, but it was very high. When testing the millet notebook AIR13, this picture was very fast. However, the benefit is that we completely allow the system load to reach 100%.

The results of the roasting machine were not expected. The temperature at the beginning of the program quickly rose in a straight line. The fan immediately entered full combat and the temperature rose slowly after 74 degrees. At this time, the system's high temperature alarm appeared. I was forced to The rest of the roasting machine stopped.

Better than no chess test

The data of SSD is regarded as the middle and lower level in PCI-E SSD, but the lean dead camel is bigger than Ma Da. PM951 is still higher than SATA3's.

Everyone is very concerned about the 940MX running 3DMARK 11 P points finally come, reasonable expectations, 940MX P points only poor 2595 points ... ...

6200U comes with HD520 nuclear score of P score is about 1460

Let's review the M100010 professional graphics card which is considered by many to be incapable of playing games. His P is divided into 4650 or so.

The conventional P of GTX960M is about 5500

In other words, according to this score, although the 940MX brings a performance improvement of about 70% relative to HD520, it still can't run large-scale games smoothly under FHD resolution, compared with the power consumption and heat brought by the 540MX. It's actually a little tasteless.

I am still thief immortality I still download the benchmark of the current test performance "stab together" to see how our 940MX in the end is what kind of actual performance.

In the case of the entire screen with only me, I selected 1600900+ medium-quality, 1920×1080+ low quality, and 1600900+ low quality to play the game.

The results are very worrying, in the 1600900 + quality, the upper limit of the frame rate is only 47 frames, and once into the battle, the frame rate may fall below the 25-frame mark, basically in the state of the game can not be

1920×1080+ The picture quality is slightly better, the frame rate can reach the upper limit of about 53

The 1600900+ low-quality frame rate can only reach 60 frames or so, once the fierce battle minutes back to 30-40 frame level.

LOL I did not personally test, as a nuclear game can be fun to stay overnight, we can not be too small 瞧 940MX ... ...


4. Random software


Although Xiaomi doesn't have as much security software as the Thinkpad series, Xiaomi still pulls a millet out of his pocket and synchronously feeds you rice flour.

Through Xiaomi synchronization we can quickly buy the next millet notebook, or Xiaomi's products

Of course not so boring, Xiaomi sync is a product similar to Baidu cloud, you can use the millet account to transfer files and data to the cloud server in real time, but Lei Jun thinks that we may not have any files to save, so each player has rewarded 5GB storage space ... well I still continue to use my Baidu cloud ...

I have nothing in my cloud, and he will be left empty afterwards...


5. Standby time


For the completeness of this test, poor as I am still fighting on the keyboard at 2:30 in the morning...

The reason is that the millet notebook has a breath left, and it is still playing time and time playing electronic music.


Test Conditions:

100% power

Brightness 50%

50% of sound

Use WIN10 to bring IE to play Betta Live (Because it was previously said that Millet's test method is to play online video, but there are no six or seven hours of online video that can be played without interruption... The anchors have worked hard...)


Test Results:

After 5 hours and 20 minutes of magic sounding, Xiaomi's notebook swallowed the last breath and the battery was completely turned off by force.......

Millet's 9.5 hours of battery life is almost 50% off.

It seems that the five-fold law in the notebook, electric car and other fields test unhappy!

Just like the content of the island country love action film cover does not match


to sum up

Having said so many things, after reading so many pictures, this time the evaluation of the test has come to an end.

Finally, I would like to talk about my views and ideas on this product.

Since the rumors of the millet notebooks two or three years ago have risen higher than a wave, I have reason to believe that this product is not the time for Ray to raise the half-finished product out of the month.

In terms of exterior design, shell material, performance configuration, selling price and so on, the performance of Xiaomi’s notebook exceeded my expectations for the year. This is a fully-designed product. After long standby, high-intensity copying and other tests, This notebook did not show any instability (than the newcomer Razer did not know where to go next...). As a laptop with a price of only 4999, the configuration of this product has definitely reached the expected value, and this is precisely the situation that caused today's supply in short supply.

But objectively speaking, this product still has a lot of deficiencies, especially the details of the treatment of the just arrived in the 18th layer of hell. Dry interface, not sharp edges and corners (of course, this may also be a design, but I still think that the sharp place should be sharp to get more beautiful, of course, this is a higher demand for processing technology), rural non-mainstream The charging indicator, the chaos of the internal assembly process, the anti-human design of the charger, and so on, each point of detail is disappointing, and it feels like "it's a cheap notebook, it really is this workmanship."

No doubt, the millet notebook AIR13 is still worth buying a cost-effective laptop. Or repeat the opening comment, if you look at this public test decided to buy a millet notebook, try to choose the 13.3-inch version, because all aspects of the upgrade is definitely greater than the difference of 1,500 yuan, is definitely a more sensible choice.

At this point, the public test has come to an end.

Thank you for watching and supporting
