HUAWEI officially announced the new notebook PC, "Matebook X Pro" and "New Matebook D" unveiled in the MWC in February in May.
The Matebook X Pro is a top model of X released last year, a 13.9 -inch ultra -narrow -frame 3 to 2 screens.The D is an update of the same name model already released, and is the latest chip model equipped with CPU, GPU and SSD.
I feel the momentum of HUAWEI in the sense of speed to change the CPU and GPU in 8 months.
The new Matebook D (2018 model), which will be released in Japan, has two colors, silver (Mystic Silver) and a light blue (auror blue) system.
Silver is a higher-end model, and the CPU is equipped with a 8G core i7-8550U and a NVIDIA GEFORCE MX150 as a GPU.VRAM has 2GB of GDDR5.
Another light blue model is equipped with an I5-8520U with a CPU as well as 8G core.The external GPU is not installed, and you will use Intel's UHD620.
The left is mystic silver and the right is Auror Blue.The color of the light blue is black, and when opened, it gives a tight impression.
The storage is different for two models, and the light blue is only a 1TB HDD, like the previous model (2017 model), while the silver model is also equipped with a 128GB SSD on the M.2 terminal.I opened the inside in the previous article, but the light blue model must have a slot in the empty.
The difference between the two models is four points: color, CPU/GPU and storage, but the rest is the same.The light blue model is black on the keyboard surface and touchpad, and silver is also silver.
The silver model top plate has a fairly matte finish and has no fingerprints, and has a sense of quality.
Both main memory are 8GB (DDR4), and the liquid crystal is a very ordinary specification with a 15.6 -inch full HD (1920 x 1080 dots).It is the target of the tongu -tongue, which is touched by a 3 to 2 high -resolution LCD of the Matebook X Pro, which was announced at the same time.
The interface is Type-A x 3, HDMI, headphone jack, which is extremely peaceful and has no Type-C terminal.The size is 358 x 239 x 16.9 mm, and the weight is 1.9 kg, which is the same as the previous model.
Equipped with the minimum necessary interface, the Type-A terminal is also installed on the right side is evidence of a good design.
In summary, the main change from the 2017 model is that the color of the main unit and the CPU upgrade from 7G to 8G core.Furthermore, the GPU has also become the latest generation from 940mx to MX150.
After that, the keyboard, which had only a US array, is a Japanese keyboard this time.The key pitch is still 19 mm, and even if you hit it, it is extremely quiet and luxurious.
The keyboard, like Matebook X, was in a Japanese sequence.
The touchpad is not smooth, but the sensitivity is good, and the click sound of the button is quiet.The touchpad is located in the center of the machine because there is a one -row function key on the right side of the return key on the keyboard, but it is slightly shifted to the right from the home position (conversely, the home position on the keyboard is slightly left.It may be correct to be off)...
The key is reasonably weighted, typing and good.It is also good that there is no crunchy sound.
The CPU speed is 40%increase, and the MX150 is 2.5 times faster.
Now, let's take a look at how faster it is equipped with CPU, GPU and SSD.
First, in Cinebenchr15, the CPU value was improved by 46%from 367 to 537 of the previous model (i7-7500U).The OpenGL value has improved by 32%from 76 to 100.The performance of the 8G core is out properly.
The 3D drawing ability was 3DMark's Firestrike, which increased 2178 to 2473 to 2473.The difference between 940mx and MX150 seems to be this because the MX150 has a value of around 2500 in other companies' mobile notebooks.Nevertheless, in the built -in graphics of Intel, the value is around 1000, so it is about 2.5 times faster.The meaning of installing is great.
The air for cooling does not bother the surroundings in the form of inhaling from the bottom and discharging from the hinge of the liquid crystal.
The SSD mounted on the trial machine was connected to Liteon SATA connection, with 563 in sequential multiple leads and 413 on lights.This is also growing properly because it is 5 times faster than the previous model with only HDD.
As usual, the battery was measured at the maximum speed and maximum brightness, and it operated for about 2 hours and 50 minutes.The battery capacity was 42Wh, and the previous model took 3 hours and 15 minutes, so it seems that about 10 % of the power consumption is increased by about 10 % for the powerful CPU/GPU and the SSD.
The charging time took 50%under the same conditions, but did not change from 38 to 40 minutes of the previous model.This is faster than a general mobile notebook, and is useful in case of emergency.
Like the 2017 model, if you remove the bottom plate, you can easily access the drive (the lower left is an HDD and the top is SSD) and the memory slot (the two silver covers on the right of the fan).・ Please note that remodeling will not be eligible for manufacturer warranty).
This year, the 15 -inch type with a narrow frame is no longer a hot GPU.
Other companies have also issued a 15 -inch mobile notebook as a summer model.Some of the high -ranking models are equipped with a GTX system, and on top of them, 6 core+GTX is the top of the 15 type.
Matebook D 2018 is a very shive 15 -inch mobile notebook that has a small 3D drawing faster than a non -GPU, with an 8g 4 cores and a full HD resolution, but the 3D drawing is more than twice faster than the non -GPU.It is.
The Yodobashi Camera has a light blue camera of about 95,000 yen and a silver color of 127,000 yen (both tax included), which is very affordable, and is a 15 -inch notebook that shines.
