Simple unpacking evaluation of Taipower Linglong 2.5L mainframe

Hello, I'm Waveguide Terminator.

A while ago, I saw the small host in this station discussing directly on the home page. I went to play the drum and got the ticket of 666- 100. After reading it, I went in. Different people may have different needs. I don't really want to use it for soft routing or NAS. I just want to use it for watching videos or TV at home (there are too many payment traps in the set-top box) or as a download machine for the studio. Now that I have it, I'll open a box and share it with you.

The size of this package is larger than I expected. According to the product details, there is a keyboard, and this width should be the width of the keyboard.

Sure enough. This set I sent is quite satisfactory. It may be a little simple for me. I should use Razer's wireless 1 to drag N, or try the flying squirrel suit for HTPC directly.

What is the concept of a 2.5L mainframe? It's just a bottle of coke ... er, it's the size of my palm 18 cm. The actual host does not take up much space, and everything else is for the width of the keyboard.

As for the power supply, it is a standard connector of PC, connected with 12V4A transformer, and the output is DC.

The width of the base and bottom is fixed and adjusted with screws, and the four foot pads should be glued by themselves, otherwise the screws will be higher than the sides. It feels like a universal mode.

In terms of accessories, I gave a SATA hard disk cable, some screws and four cushions, and I was too lazy to study where the cushions were.

The size difference between 2.5L and 1L is also compared here. This is INTEL's Cheetah Canyon that I shared with you earlier. So many times, just looking at the surface is not enough to judge one thing, which is true for things, things and people.

There is an HDMI, two USB3.0(3.2 Gen 1), two USB2.0, a network cable port, TRS headphones and a microphone port on the back of this exquisite model. There is also a COM port (at first I thought it was a VGA port). I used to be a PC program of single chip microcomputer in my first job, and I am familiar with this thing. There should be some occasions to use it now.

The whole peripheral shell is made of metal, with cooling holes and dust-proof nets, but the contents can't be too hot.

The front is the power switch, 2 USB2.0 and headphone microphone ports. I feel that it will be more stable on the base, or simply put it on the side.

Loosen the two screws at the back, and the top cover can be easily removed. Needless to say, the board on the lower right is used to fix the 2.5-inch SATA disk.

This host 899 has run out of coupons and comes with its own memory and hard disk. Whether the value is worth it depends mainly on the demand. In the comment area, I saw a friend say that ASUS's PN4 1 ratio is more than 1000, but that one is bare-metal, and the one with its own memory hard disk should also be counted. The product details are mentioned, 128NVMe+ 128SATA, or 256NVMe shipped randomly. I was lucky enough to receive the 256 version. Taipower's Aurora NP900 solid-state I use the system disk now, so it looks familiar.

In terms of memory, there are two slots, one on the top and the other on the right, with 8G DDR4 2666 pre-installed. How do I remember seeing a note saying it was 2400 frequency? Forget it. It doesn't matter. It doesn't make much difference A friend commented that this board is for tablets, and the layout is really similar.

In fact, if I want to describe it more accurately, it should be that the tablet is made too much, and it is sold as a PC with a shell. First of all, this SATA interface, its cable is originally bent outward, you can bend it straight or inward, unless it is integrated like this, it can only be said that it is a backup package. You can use it.

Secondly, I want to add SATA to this package of screws, and look at the number of screws. Happy. Three flat heads and two arched heads add up to less than four. Fortunately, there is no mechanical movement when the solid state disk works, so it is no problem to lock three.

Then when this SATA tray is to be covered, the wires will also be blocked. Of course, you can change the direction of the disk, but if the line goes to the other side, it will affect the heat dissipation. I'm too lazy to take it off, but I can use a curved suit. Let's make up.

Finally, I gave a Zhang Quanjing to a friend who cares about the specific board configuration, and I bought this one. Let me calculate for you: there is a ready-made DP port in the upper left corner, but it is blocked by the chassis, next to the fan pin, which is useless; These jumpers on SATA data port and power port are all related to large-row LVDS, so I checked that the interface is really a flat-panel direct-connected display screen; Below the white SATA power supply is the motherboard port of USB3.0 (3.2 Gen 1). If necessary, you can modify it yourself and pull out a line. The box on the lower left is powered by the motherboard, so it should be completely useless without modification; On the right is the second memory slot; There is an M.2-port WIFI slot at the lower right. In theory, you can add your own WIFI card, but the signal is a problem. Other debugging, SPAKER pins and jumpers are useless.

Next, let's look at the BIOS. Actually, I don't know what to watch, and I don't overclock. You don't need to install anything except hard disk or memory. Can you set up at most one quick start? The boot screen has also changed the LOGO. However, I still saw the option of TPM2.0 in it, and I don't know if I can install WIN 1 1 by evil means.

On the system side, firstly, the built-in WIN 10 is not activated, so it needs to be set first (I didn't cut it off). This wallpaper is the first thing to enter the desktop. It must be a repackaging system. Secondly, a friend said in a comment that "WIN 10 comes with WPS" attracted a lot of people with question marks. Haha, I looked at it, at least visually, and the system was not pre-installed. I have to find a way to activate it and work by myself. It is not convenient for me to write the text. Please praise it. See you in the comments section.

A friend said that some boards 4K60 were castrated, at least this one in my hand is fine. The system is divided into two areas. Anyway, cut it into two parts, right?

In terms of solid state, some people say that the one they got will be electrified for hundreds of hours before returning. In fact, this thing can be removed. Unless it's already slag, it's meaningless to entangle this. But I noticed that the software detected that its transmission mode was SATA, and I don't know if the problem lies in the board interface, disk or BIOS settings. I'm too lazy to toss.

If you are too lazy to run, share the problems that most people care about with everyone. Because many friends use it as a video player like me, so I also tested it briefly, which only represents my own use environment.

The system is native, without networking, and nothing is updated. The portable version of Potplayer is used, but it is not the latest version, and there are no additional separators and filters.

The measurement results are as follows:

H265(HEVC), 4K60+HDR( 10bit) black screen, even if it can be called out, it should not be smooth.

4K60(HEVC), 4K60, 12m bit rate, 8bit, the picture is stuck in the back, the CPU can't carry it, so it's probably hopeless.

H265(HEVC), 4K30, normal speed, barely visible, but feeling frame skipping. 1080P60, playing normally with naked eyes.

H264(AVC), 4K60, can see normally, but the naked eye feels frame skipping.

H264(AVC), 4k30, 1080p60, normal to the naked eye.

From the point of view of resource occupation, 4K60 under H264 or 4K30 under H265 is basically the limit of this machine. I feel that I can't exceed the limit of CPU performance, and I don't have so many sources of different parameters at hand, so I won't toss. My personal ability is limited. If a friend can make this machine understand H265+4K60+ 10bit smoothly, I might as well share it. I'll refill the system and help you try again.

PS: I saw the news that students can get a coupon of 999- 150. Alas, looking for customer service price protection failed, and the account number is different. Lost another 5 billion.

Thank you for watching, like friends to praise and concern, we see you next time.
