Different from other manufacturers' extensive use of older processor hardware to obtain higher cost performance, Dell Yue Ling series usually chooses to carry the latest hardware configuration and system out of the factory, so that the public can enjoy the new functions and improvements brought by new hardware and systems at a relatively more people-friendly price range while obtaining Dell's consistently excellent design. Yue Ling 14-5459, who came to the editorial department today, is equipped with the latest sixth-generation intelligent Intel? Core? The i7 processor I7-6500U and the brand-new Windows 10, which have been on the market for less than three months, combine their beautiful appearance and Dell's consistently excellent mold design standards, and are good choices for home audio-visual books.
The golden shell is quite eye-catching, and the interface is fully arranged and practical.
In 2007, Dell Yue Ling series first introduced the home notebook computer with color shell, which was a great success at that time and opened the domestic home notebook market in one fell swoop. Since then, Dell's Yue Ling wines have come in many colors, such as blue, red, white, silver and orange. In the latest 5459, Dell's XPS 13 special edition gold was successfully transplanted to this machine. The golden shell and the diamond-shaped fine lines on the surface form a beautiful but not dazzling A-side.
▲ If you don't say it, many people will mistake it for XPS series.
▲ 14 inch 1366×768 resolution display screen, in fact, the display effect under this size is enough.
The B-side and C-side of the machine are always made of engineering plastics from Dell Yue Ling series, and the hand feel of the machine is improved to some extent through the grinding process. The display screen with the resolution of 14 inch 1366×768 is still the mainstream configuration. Although there is no full HD screen equipped with 1080P, the excellent display effect brought by Dell's patented TrueLife display technology and the high quality of the screen itself make the actual display effect of this screen reach a level.
▲ The keyboard area is not so large, but it feels good.
In 14 inch notebook models, Dell always leaves a large space on the C-plane to ensure the arrangement of interfaces and the heat dissipation effect. The keyboard direction keys and function keys of Yue Ling 14 5459 are properly compressed, but other than that, this floating island splash-proof keyboard feels good in entry-level machines.
▲ The touchpad design is also a classic integrated design of Dell. Spacious and convenient, just right for use, not greasy or astringent.
▲ Some Dell machines will have excellent functions. MaxxAudio, high-definition camera, dual microphone technology and screen display are the key points in the use of home audio-visual books.
▲ The latest Skylake architecture, the sixth generation of intelligent Intel? Core? The logo of i7 processor is very different from previous generations. You can recognize this small blue label representing high performance and higher energy consumption ratio at a glance.
Its touchpad is designed in an integrated way, slightly recessed into the C-plane. The advantage of this design is that the touch area is larger and the daily use is more comfortable. There is a sticker on the lower left of C-plane to introduce product features, and on the lower right of C-plane is the latest Skylake architecture, the sixth generation intelligent Intel? Core? The logo of i7 processor and the logo of AMD high-performance graphics card, Yue Ling 14 5459 is actually equipped with I7-6500U flagship low-voltage processor and R5 M330 entry discrete graphics card.
Interface: Yue Ling 14 5459 has power interface, RJ45 network cable interface, heat sink, HDMI interface, a USB3.0 interface with fast charging function, and an SD card slot on the left side of the machine. There is enough distance between the interfaces, so that the USB interface can't be used without HDMI cable.
▲ In fact, the middle frame of this floor is also plastic, but the golden electroplating paint highlights its texture, and the addition of DVD burner also makes it more convenient for home use.
On the right side of the machine is a notebook lock interface, a DVD drive, two USB2.0 interfaces and a 3.5mm audio interface. Although it is a pity that only one USB3.0 interface is equipped for cost control and other reasons, three USB interfaces are enough for daily use.
▲D-side detachable design is rare in home affordable notebooks and is very convenient.
The D side of the machine adopts Dell's consistent black engineering plastic panel and detachable battery structure, and a quick-release structure that can easily disassemble and replace the hard disk and memory is also provided below, which is convenient for users to upgrade the memory and hard disk. The speaker is hidden at the bottom of D-plane, and the symmetrical design is very standard.
▲ The overall value is really not low.
▲ The details are also very good, very Dell.
Generally speaking, the appearance of Dell Yue Ling 14 5459 is outstanding in the home audio-visual textbook, and the interface layout is complete and reasonable. The design skill of Yue Ling series for more than ten years should not be underestimated.
The sixth generation I7 has strong performance, large memory and sufficient support.
In terms of hardware configuration, Dell Yue Ling 14 5459 adopts the 6th generation Intel? Core? The core hardware array consists of i7 processor I7-6500U, AMD's R5 335M discrete graphics card and its own HD 520 core graphics card. 8GB of memory makes it more advantageous than most home audio-visual books equipped with 4GB of memory, while Western Digital's 1TB mechanical hard disk obviously gives priority to capacity requirements, which is obviously more practical than small-capacity SSD for home users who often store photos and movies on their computers.
▲ It has an outstanding hardware foundation in home audio-visual books.
▲ The sixth generation of intelligent Intel? Core? I7 processor I7-6500U, advanced technology and excellent architecture bring great performance improvement.
As one of the absolute cornerstones of the whole machine performance, the sixth generation intelligent Intel from Intel's latest Skylake architecture? Core? The I7 processor I7-6500U has 14nm advanced manufacturing technology with dual cores and four threads. Based on the TDP of 15W, the mute frequency of 2.5Ghz and the turbo frequency as high as 3. 1Ghz are realized, which ensures low power consumption, low heat generation and strong performance. In the CPU-Z test, the single-core performance and multi-core performance are obviously better than the flagship I7-4558U of Haswell era.
▲ In fact, the HD 520 nuclear display with GT2 core also has the strength of not losing to independent monitors.
▲3DMark results show that R5 M335 has powerful game performance.
The core of mobile graphics card from AMD is rare, but the strong cost performance of AMD(ATI) graphics card makes it possible to achieve better graphics performance at a lower price when choosing a card as a stand-alone notebook. This R5 M335 is AMD's classic entry-level graphics card, and its performance is slightly higher than Nvidia's latest quasi-performance graphics card 930M. The only problem may be that its calorific value will be slightly higher, and it needs excellent heat dissipation design to exert its maximum performance.
▲CineBench scored very well.
In CineBench, which can theoretically test the performance of the whole machine, Dell Yue Ling 14 5459 performs well, and according to the test data, it can cope with high-definition audio and video and general mainstream online games.
▲ What is the actual performance? Maybe it's just slow and steady.
PCMark test integrates many applications that will be used in daily use, and other whole machine performance test software can better reflect the actual operation efficiency of the machine. Dell Yue Ling 14 5459 scored more than 3,000 points in the classic PCMark 7, and the performance test of PCMark8 was also very good.
▲ More than 100,000 points, probably a battle.
Finally, Master Lu, the most recognized by the public, touched the threshold of high-performance notebook with the comprehensive performance of100000. If you have friends who have higher performance requirements, you can further improve by replacing memory chips and solid state drives with larger capacity.
Endurance, fever and summing up a good book to read and play.
In the endurance test, the performance of Dell Yue Ling 14 5459 exceeded expectations, reaching more than four hours in the extreme endurance test of high-voltage PCMark 8, which also means that its endurance can reach more than eight hours under light use, and it can easily meet the use requirements even if it needs to go out or forget to plug in the power supply.
▲ Unexpected endurance test results
▲ It is not stable in the endurance test.
▲ Up to 50 degrees, there will always be some problems with high performance.
For the I7-6500U with only 15W TDP, it is only necessary to ensure the basic fan cooling, and there will be no serious heating problem. However, due to the addition of the discrete graphics card, the Dell Yue Ling series is still equipped with a wide cooling outlet and a multi-copper tube cooling scheme, which appeared in the previous game box series. However, under the test of AIDA 64 CPU and GPU double dryer, the left keyboard area where CPU and graphics card are located still shows obvious fever, which affects daily use to some extent. In this high-intensity use environment, it is still recommended to be equipped with a cooling pad.
▲ I don't know where the new RADEON interface is higher than the catalyst.
▲Power Manager battery management software
Finally, it is worth mentioning that AMD updated the driver version at the end of 20 15. The brand-new driver interface is no longer as complicated and troublesome as catalyst driver. We can set up the graphics card intuitively and quickly. Moreover, Dell has also preset some convenient computer management software in the system, which really makes it "use it when it is turned on".
