My MI millet notebook AIR 13 out of the box


My millet notebook AIR 13


Reasons to purchase

The previous MACBOOK AIR was finally "delisted" for two and a half years. Here is a brief explanation: Since my company's corporate platform software is based on WIN system development, it has been inconvenient in terms of application. (Using the WTG plug-in system for two years, quite hard) just concerned about the Xiaomi notebook # 816 # to do activities, in the case of the Xi'an area in Jingdong has been out of stock, when asked after the customer service can replenishment, found It suddenly showed that there was only one stock left. Apart from anything else, order payment!

In fact, I was concerned about the Swift 3 hummingbird but I lost it due to the first batch of work problems. (Of course, is also a reference engineer's advice) in the millet release of the new millet notebook fingerprint independent version has been out of stock, Acer also released a macro (acer) Hummingbird Swift3 MX150 alone significant version, based on the difference between the two configurations is not great ( Color gamut: 72% of millet - Acer 45%) The other basics are not too bad. The price was also two hundred yuan less than millet. But when I think about it back, since five thousand dollars have been lost, why do we still care about two hundred districts? In addition, there is a better screen display and a versatile TYPE C interface. Finally, stop!

Configuration of the new 13.3-inch millet notebook Air with Intel's seventh-generation Core i5-7200, built-in 8GB RAM and 128GB solid-state hard drive, graphics from the original NVIDIA GeForce 940MX discrete graphics upgrade to NVIDIA GeForce MX150, with 2GB memory, GeForce MX150 graphics card It can be said that the desktop GeForce GT 1030 mobile version, based on the GP108 core 16nm Pascal Pascal architecture, NVIDIA official claims that its performance than the 940MX increased by 30%.

The front is a silver metal panel with no logo. The so-called design without design is a good design. (Looking around a bit, haha) Also, feel free to cover all your favorite stickers!

On the back, there are many more logos: Invite the speaker brand AKG from Austria plus the Dolby Audio surround sound technology to actually feel it so much the same thing (as the saying goes: 10,000 yuan to listen to the following:)) Two other signs I don't need to say more about it. I have a strong backing from the British Weida and giant hard. The last is the small MI logo (it is very low-key). Because it is equipped with the latest MX150 graphics card, the top row is a row of ventilation holes. The design is very beautiful! Both play a cooling role, there are beautiful. . . Need to explain and other laptops is different, the screws around are exposed. Because the internal motherboard has a hard disk expansion device for easy removal. It is recommended that if there is no technology, you can go to Xiaomi House for free replacement! (Of course, the hard disk is charged, 嘿嘿)

On the left is the mainstream HDMI high-definition video interface, USB3.0 (support shutdown charge) interface. In fact, it's tears to say more. Although it can be said to be a selling point at the press conference, it is actually used. . . Oh, please continue to:

The right side is TYPE-C (set power supply, display output), USB3.0 interface around the host only two USB3.0 interface, some people say that is not enough to use it, a plug-in mouse is full of a keyboard. Also how to play, but think about this light, that is tolerant. Moreover, we can also achieve the ultimate goal through USB expansion! (Although some delays) No way, think about the game, in order to play the game, you need a piece of equipment. . .

Open the notebook with one hand, you can see the true capacity. We love to see the chocolate keyboard, the key process is short, soft and long beat If you use the mechanical keyboard, feeling soft. Compared to my MacBook Air, it is still soft and contains no adjustment backlight. Compared with the previous generation, fingerprint identification has been basically recognized in actual use within 2 seconds.

INTEL LOGO (faith)

The first time I saw the MIlogo and the plastic version of the bearing shaft, I can say that the design was also an effort, with one hand lifting the display cover. It is not clear how much endurance can be achieved in terms of heat dissipation. Because the air outlet is on the side of the bearing, it will inevitably cause damage to the game for a long time.

From the above part of the appearance, we can see a silver metal panel used in the A side of the millet notebook without any LOGO design. It is also verified that no design is the best design language. B side uses the current mainstream 1080P resolution from Sharp's display, C surface compared to the previous generation has added a push-type fingerprint button (unlock is still pretty fast), the left side is HDMI, USB3.0 right TYPE- C (charging, display), USB3.0 uses the mainstream TYPE-C power scheme, and integrates the display output function. Configuration is also upgraded from the previous generation to the seventh-generation I5-7200, MX150 video card this point is still very conscience!

APPLE VS MI

Contrary to Xiaomi, the Apple MBA has a brilliantly decorated apple logo on the front (faith).
Because it is an integrated graphics card, there are no more cooling holes on the back of millet. Compared to it is more concise!

The top of the keyboard is slightly stiffer than millet, and it is elastic when pressed. Millet feels soft and the touch panel is also elastic and powerful relative to Xiaomi. The display aspect needless to say, 1080P resolution is enough to compete with the Air million years 1440 * 900 shows (of course, is one of my reasons to change) Sometimes when used to high-definition is to go back! Millet IPS screen is really bright, do not change color at different angles.

The side is similar, but the USB3.03.5mm headphone jack only has Apple's unique MagSafe and more SDXC card slots on the power adapter.

I also used MACBOOK AIR to compare it with Xiaomi's notebooks. Of course, the MBA leads the design even if it is 14 models. But millet notebooks are relatively small compared to MBA, easy to carry. On the touch panel, the MBA is more humane than the design of the Xiaomi notebook. It is better than Xiaomi in terms of use and craftsmanship. In terms of endurance, there is no comparison. The MBA basically can use the remaining 20%-30% of the electricity for a day and Xiaomi, huh, huh!

Use evaluation

You can see millet custom LOGO and non-adjustable backlight. (Intentionally observed, there is no "bright spot") this point to Xiaomi Zan! (Remember the three bags, the three bad points are normal, oh)

The first thing to boot is that the entertainment guru can run a score of more than 140,000. I remember in my last article, the integrated graphics environment is more than 90,000. In terms of hardware detection, it can be seen that Xiaomi is basically using a first-tier supplier: Samsung SSD, Sharp screen, NVIDIA MX150... Configuration is still very conscience!

The temperature and pressure tests used by Master Lu are basically around 72 degrees.

At the same time using CrystalDiskInfov7.0.5 detected the hard disk, power-on time 61? ! Can I understand the pot for quality inspectors?

Use 5G WIFI to connect my millet route, copy the files from the millet route to the local hard drive, the best can reach 39MB per second is basically a normal speed! Above from the entertainment masters running points and 3DMARK11 graphics performance test, I personally not very cold for the parameters. It is not as thorough as the user's actual operating experience. It is recommended that you have the opportunity to experience the millet homes everywhere. Others are cloud computing, so-called cloud experience. No matter how good people say, it may not be suitable for you. Finding a laptop for you is very important! (Recommendation: Demand & Budget)


The use of these days, the overall performance is still satisfactory. Due to the use of the PCIe NVMe x 4 interface protocol, the boot and shutdown speeds were basically kept within 4 seconds, and the entertainment masters were running close to 15,000. The indicators are satisfactory, and it looks like a simple MI synchronization page in the integration of Xiaomi. Fingerprint recognition is basically within 1-2 seconds. Thanks to the 72% display color gamut, the screen is also very clear and real. Used to seeing high definition, SD is no longer able to go back. The sense of passage on the keyboard is not very obvious, and there is only one gear for the backlight (what better than none). The function of the touchpad is still too single (Is it a copyright issue?!) I don't know if it is a problem with WIN10 or that some software interfaces are virtual. Hope to solve as soon as possible! Well, basically these are.

to sum up

advantage:

1, cost-effective (especially reduced by 500)

2. Standard 72% color gamut

3, TYPE-C integrated power supply, display function

Disadvantages:

1, the fan sound

2, shut down power seriously

3, the power line is shorter

PS:
Regarding the above shortcomings, there are also the latest solutions in the forum. The official statement on fan sounds is due to the inability to control the voltage. Upgrading to the latest BIOS can solve this problem. (After the upgrade, it looks like a bit?!) Regarding the shutdown power-off problem, it is used to turn on the USB shutdown charging function and turn it off. After a few days of actual use, it still has a little effect. Not so serious before, but MACBOOK AIR is still worse. Before I used the MBA, I always turned it off. There was no problem with using the battery for a day or two.


Highlights:

The test time node was 3Dmark11 running during the period, the temperature reached 52.0 degrees Celsius. (relatively, the temperature at the right side of the power supply is highest)
