The R705 is positioned for home use, and there is only one configuration, blue shell. Most of the configurations are the same as the R700 low-profile configuration, except the following aspects:
1. Without Bluetooth
2. without ExpressCard expansion slot
3. The wireless network card may be downgraded to the normal version.
4. The LAN control chip may be downgraded to the normal version.
5. No bottom docking station interface
6. No fingerprint reader
7. The system is win7 Home Edition, and there is no other recovery CD (recovery CD for degraded XP system).
8. A lot of commercial software has been removed from the pre-installed software.
9. The warranty is shortened to one-year international warranty.
Although the R700 is light and thin, it uses normal voltage CPU of i3, i5 and i7, so its performance is much better than most light and thin notebooks.
Let's take a look at win7' s self-evaluation of my R700 i3-350M.
Everest CPU information
WIN7 index score
Let's take a look at the scores of other CPUs that I measured myself or collected from the Internet:
CULV class low-voltage CPU: amd310: 3.6, SU4 100: 4.0, SU7300: 4. 1.
I series low-voltage CPU: i3-330um: 4.2, i5-520um: 4.8.
Old versions of dual-core processors: P8600:5.9, T9400: 6. 1.
In fact, as far as business is concerned, performance is enough, and the balance of comprehensive performance must be taken as an important consideration. I tested and compared several models with PCMark Vantage Professional Edition, and we can see the level of oscar pistorius.
The following is the PCMark Vantage score of R700 (i3-350m/4gdr3/500g):

From the above comparison, it can be found that the performance of R700 is undoubtedly one of the most powerful models as thin as itself. As the saying goes, oscar pistorius is stronger than me, not as light and flexible as me; Oscar pistorius is thinner and younger than me, but not as strong, brave and unstoppable as me.
The endurance of R700 is also worthy of boasting. Official website pointed out that the longest use time can reach 9 hours. However, the longest use time of 9 hours is the result of extremely uncomfortable use, such as brightness of 30~40%, wireless network card closed and energy-saving mode. In fact, in the system balance mode, the screen is adjusted to the brightest, and the CPU takes up less than 20% for surfing the Internet, processing documents, chatting on QQ and listening to music. The R700 can last for about 3 hours and 40 minutes, and the actual use time should be further improved. This achievement is attributed to the large-capacity battery of 5800mAh, which is even better than many low-voltage lightweight batteries of the same type.
battery life
The heat dissipation test is a little troublesome for me, because I don't have an infrared thermometer, and I can only rely on everest to test the temperature data of the internal hardware tested by everest at room temperature of about 32 degrees Celsius. In general, the CPU takes up less than 20% (as mentioned above). In an hour.
Low intensity hardware temperature
If you run Photoshop software, the CPU occupies a medium load state below 50. After one hour, the hardware temperature tested by everest is as follows:
Medium strength hardware temperature
When Photoshop, C 1, office, virus detection and installation programs run at the same time, the CPU takes up more than 70%. After one hour, everest tested the hardware temperature as follows:
High strength hardware temperature
Generally speaking, for such a thin notebook and a standard voltage processing chip platform, this heat dissipation performance is really quite good.
Regarding comfort, I want to talk about my feelings from the following aspects.
1. screen comfort:
The screen of R700 adopts ultra-thin LED screen produced by Toshiba, which saves electricity and has good brightness and color.

2. Comfort of keyboard touchpad:
The keyboard spacing of R700 is still very comfortable, and the hand doesn't cramp at all. After all, it is the length advantage of 13 inch widescreen, but the key stroke is short and the keys are slightly soft, which is not as comfortable as the keyboard of R500. Toshiba trackpad has always been wide, smooth and comfortable. This time, the touchpad has added multi-touch function, which is more comfortable to use. It is not inferior to Apple's touchpad in comfort, but it is much worse in functional support.
3. Convenience of interface design:
Generally speaking, the interface design of R700 is more user-friendly. A USB is commonly used. ESATA and HDMI make it easy to expand the second hard disk and external display. At the same time, eSATA can also be used as a USB interface with voltage, which can charge mobile phones, ipod and other devices even if it is turned off.
External voltage control software
At the same time, Toshiba's docking station also has USB3.0 interface, which is faster than eSATA and will play a very beneficial role in data transmission.
4. The influence of heat dissipation on the use feeling:
Toshiba's heat dissipation design has indeed brought a lot of improvement to users' comfort. When the notebook is used at the room temperature of 32 degrees (afternoon) to 28 degrees (evening) all afternoon and evening, the wrist rest and keyboard only feel warm, not very hot, but the heat is concentrated in a small area on the bottom surface, and the heat dissipation pane and a circle of shells around the heat dissipation window are very limited, so that almost no obvious heat is felt when using. If it is an air-conditioned room, the feeling of fever should be even less obvious, which is different from the past. Only when using a huge notebook, such as the alien M 15X, will this feeling be felt.
5. The influence of performance and battery life on the use feeling:
The performance of i3 series has surpassed that of the old T9400, and the performance of the new Intel integrated graphics card is quite satisfactory. This kind of CPU is fully competent for business applications, and the integrated graphics card is more than enough for enjoying high-definition movies, and even some small games are not a problem. Although there is no model of this set of monitors, it is still improved in frequency compared with 4500HD.

Endurance can ensure a carefree working state for at least half a day under moderate load, which is also very important for business users.
6. Practicality of random software;
Toshiba's own random software is extremely rich, especially the commercial version of R700, which accounts for as many as two pages in the list of start menu programs, and Toshiba's software is mainly practical, and there are few flashy software, which is much better than HP and Dell.

Face recognition can also provide users with another safe login method. The login interface of R700 can choose fingerprint login and face recognition. In addition, Toshiba's face recognition provides a combination of five facial features: front face, left and right front faces and upper and lower front faces, which solves the problem of low accuracy and efficiency of face recognition at present, which also shows Toshiba's attitude of Excellence in developing its own software.

(5) Toshiba eco energy-saving technology, which is a recent patented technology of Toshiba, can intelligently and dynamically adjust various hardware indicators of notebooks through real-time monitoring of notebook energy consumption to avoid energy waste. When the Eco energy-saving technology is turned off, the balance mode of win7 is applied, and the general energy consumption is about 30W. However, when switching to Eco mode, the maximum power consumption can be reduced by more than 10W with little change in basic experience.

The time axis is convenient for users to view all the documents, pictures, web pages and other information that have been consulted or processed in the recent period. When it is used with Toshiba bulletin board, it can provide very effective help for the management of complex tasks.
Timeline software
The rest of the software developed by Toshiba itself is also such very practical software. Toshiba has a unique set of commercial applications, which is related to Toshiba's accumulation in Tecra and portege for many years. In fact, in addition to Thinkpad, Toshiba's research and development capabilities in commercial application software and hardware can not be underestimated.
1. Lightweight:
Toshiba R700 continues to follow the design ideas of classic portege series R 100/R200 and R500/R600, which are embodied in the following aspects:
(1) Thin and light shell material: magnesium alloy metal is the main body, which helps to reduce the weight and make the shell thinner.
(2) Thin screen: Toshiba's own screen has always been characterized by thinness, from low-temperature polysilicon in R 100 period to semi-reflective screen in R500 period to ultra-thin LED screen now, all of which reflect Toshiba's screen characteristics.
(3) The internal design is small and light: the motherboard is more integrated, smaller and lighter. Use a 9.5 mm or even 7 mm thin optical drive. Chocolate keyboard can effectively reduce the keyboard thickness.
(4) Lightweight design: screen sinking design, semi-hidden ExpressCard slot design, and circular arc design at the front edge.
(5) Small and portable power accessories: R series power supplies have always been small and portable. Although the power adapter of R700 caused by normal voltage CPU is larger than the previous R series, it is still small and light in the light and thin power adapter.
2. Security:
Security is also a very important aspect of Toshiba portege series, including hardware security and data security:
(1) Hardware security: Toshiba's hard disk fixing and physical protection methods are often very creative. Eggshell? The design of hard disk cover using 3D hard disk APS protection software plays a very effective role in hard disk protection. In addition, there are arc-shaped bottom design, arc-shaped front edge design of fuselage, arc-shaped design of screen slightly shorter than fuselage, firmness of screen axis, seamless integrated composite material for fuselage to ensure thinness and firmness, and honeycomb structure and vertical rib structure for the back of shell. Portege series almost embodies all the essence of Toshiba's security design for thin and light notebooks in the past 25 years.
(2) Data security: Toshiba set the first security barrier for data with fingerprint reader, and at the same time, important files and folders can be encrypted with fingerprint reader, setting the second security barrier.
3. Stability:
Toshiba has always regarded portege as the most stable notebook computer, so many considerations have been made in the design, including highly integrated motherboard and leading heat dissipation technology, as well as Toshiba's patented wireless signal acquisition technology. It has been described in detail before and will not be repeated.
4. Long battery life:
Toshiba has always regarded the battery life of the portege series as very important. From the design of the first two batteries to the improvement of battery production and materials, Toshiba has always been the key direction of research and development. Therefore, the battery life in oscar pistorius has been very impressive. Even several years ago, R 100 set a record that two batteries stood by 12 hours, and the normal use time was as long as 8 hours.
5. Strong performance:
The previous oscar pistorius performance can only be described as basic enough, because it is a thin price. However, due to the improvement and innovation of heat dissipation technology and methods, the R700 hat that must be light and thin was removed. Oscar pistorius, like being equipped with more powerful equipment, is still light, slim, sensitive and unstoppable.
On the 25th anniversary, Toshiba's 10th enhanced oscar pistorius was born and made its grand debut, which undoubtedly brought a brand-new innovation to notebook manufacturing technology, including the credit of Intel and the innovative thinking of Toshiba designers and engineers. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the manufacturing process is not difficult, but it is difficult to sketch out the design, because the birth of an idea is far more important and meaningful than the improvement of a manufacturing method. The seemingly simple innovative design ideas contained in Toshiba R700 not only push the manufacturing technology and performance of thin and light notebooks to a new height, but also reduce the cost and price, which is self-evident for American users. In the past, a thin notebook cost 20 thousand to 30 thousand, and its performance could only be used. Now you can buy a mainstream thin notebook with strong performance for several thousand yuan. Isn't that a good thing? Therefore, the real contribution of the release of Toshiba R700 lies not in oscar pistorius itself, but in the improvement of global notebook computer manufacturing technology and the substantial reduction of computer manufacturing costs. If Shenzhou is using the shrinking sales volume and quality to lower the global laptop price, then Toshiba is actually using technological innovation and progress to lower the global laptop price. Be clear at a glance.
Now we can think freely. In the near future, our notebooks will be relatively cheap, portable, strong and powerful. The era of truly hoping that everyone can own a laptop will come soon.
