ASUS F45C laptop review

ASUS F45 power adapter with a thin rectangular design, very light weight, more suitable to carry out. Adapter power port nor to U38 yellow square power port, but still use a traditional circular power port. F45 since positioning the light of this, naturally in the body weight on a good performance. After electronic scales the measured F45 bare metal weight about 1.60kg, plus power adapter travel weight about 1.94kg, and portability in a 14-inch thin this excellent and comparable to many with significant independence over most of this, F45 In thin portable is fully equipped with an ultra-pole of this standard.

F45 uses a 14-inch, resolution 1366x768 TN glossy screen does not support touch screen function. This screen accurate color reproduction, color gamut and viewing angle performance in general. The glossy screen display can bring a more transparent, but was not as good as the ability of the anti-glare matte screen material. The F45 with 4400mAh ASUS F45C Battery screen border also mirror design, piano paint materials compare capacity contaminated with fingerprints. U38 uses a specially designed 360-degree two-stage flip shaft ordinary sunken shaft, F45, U38's advantage is obvious on the screen maximum opening angle. F45 the traditional sunken shaft design can save costs, the actual the screen measured maximum opening angle of about 135 degrees, and there is no problem to meet the routine use.

F45 has a 720p HD webcam, Face AE camera technology used for the first time, and ASUS notebook priority to recognize human faces and exposure, people face more clearly the greatest extent, improve performance in the harsh light. F45 and U38 with a dark chocolate with a six-row keyboard button layout is exactly the same, but does not support the same keyboard backlight function. Similar to the two keyboard keys away, the keycap are curved handle, actual percussion feel exactly the same ultra-thin piece keyboard feel is good, hitting operation for a long time.

The new notebook almost across the board at this stage HP have adopted this high touch the Ukishima chocolate keyboard. HP 8460w with HP HSTNN-DB2F Battery in addition to size is slightly different, elsewhere there is no significant difference, are in the same minimalist design, matte surface with good sliding touch, multi-touch support is in place.

Wrist rest part, F45 with a plain black matte material, and U38 wrist rest skin material of irregular texture class, this class skin material better wrist paste heterozygosity. F45 entire body C face design is very simple, circular metal power switch is set in the upper left corner of the keyboard area. Body C face the lower left corner of the machine characteristics comment tags, F45 supports a full set of music related services Dolby sound and ASUS F45's fuselage radio the MIC set in the lower right corner of the C surface. F45 and U38 body at the bottom of the screw varies greatly, U38 six diamond-shaped screw is more difficult than the F45 cruciform screw demolished. In fact, from the above, some of the details of the fuselage contrast is not difficult to see, to be higher than the F45, U38's overall positioning.

The obvious difference between F55 with 6cell ASUS F55V Battery and U38 back of the fuselage U38 battery is built-in design, while the F45 can easily replace the battery, in addition to the F45's thermal windows larger two machines duct design is also different, F45 dual stereo The speaker design in the front at the bottom of the fuselage. ASUS F45 used over most of this high usage rate for low-voltage version of Intel IVB i5 3317U processor, compared HM77 chipset. i5 3317U using the 22nm process, dual-core four-thread design, three-level cache is 3MB, TDP of only 17W. Piece processors default clocked at 1.7GHz, the Turbo be accelerated to up to 2.6GHz. wPrime is a notebook processor performance test software, the F45 is equipped with i5 3317U 32M and 1024M test results were 20.419 seconds and 642.805 seconds.


You can see from the above test GT 650M DDR5 2GB piece of graphics in 1366x768 resolution under fully open special effects run smoothly most of the mainstream 3D games and graphics performance to the remarkable performance of the GT 655M dual-card SLI graphics performance also doubled.

The HP Pavilion 14 is equipped with a 37Wh HP HSTNN-DB4D Battery large capacity lithium battery, the routine use in energy-saving mode not adhere to the 4 to 5 hours, and play games connecting the power adapter, then it is recommended to enhance the performance of the whole. New F55 and F45 to overturn the the sturdy F series left us with the impression, more avant-garde and bold new F series of brand-new one-piece black body, canceled the classic orange waist style is more concise and clear, internal The red and black color matched with red backlit keyboard after the whole texture improved a notch, will sell the better.

Run AIDA64 comes with a full load test procedures and the FurMark graphics loaded with the program for about 60 minutes (at room temperature about 24 degrees), the the F55 CPU temperature stabilized at about 88 degrees, GPU temperature of approximately 76 degrees, fuselage fan noise not great. This time we use the thermal imager view to look at the the F55 body surface temperature after about 1 hour limit roast machine C maximum surface temperature reached 48.7 degrees, the position is in the middle of the keyboard area, touching feel a little hot, body D surface maximum temperature of 45.0 degrees, the position appears in the bottom left of the trackpad. This temperature limit is for reference only, after all, processor and graphics at the same time 100% full in normal use does not often appear.

UltraBay plug technology is undoubtedly the biggest innovation of the new F-Series, the traditional DVD drive can be inserted into the discrete graphics composed of dual graphics card SLI system can change inserted into the hard drive, weight loss module and fan, this novel design change depending on demand game notebook also the high playability DIY solutions. Hardware configuration, the new F-Series and did not upgrade, after all, this product is a high-end game of this positioning, the current configuration is also sufficient to respond to the current mainstream games. New listing, the price of the new F-Series also some high, the previous generation of R400 and R500 is more cost some buy new F series friends may wish to wait and see, I believe the price there is a great decline in space.
