China cypress EZBook Air: shoulder to shoulder 12-inch MacBook's ultra cost-effective

[PConline stand-alone evaluation] In most cases, we are often willing to pay for products that can provide more than we expect. Of course, this expectation is not just about performance and price, but also experience, design and innovation. The new MacBook Pro is also sought after by everyone because it provides a TouchBar that exceeds users' expectations. However, after all, many manufacturers have no comparable technical strength to Apple, then what will they provide to exceed the user's expectations? What? Today we got a Zhongbo EZBook Air and started from him to see how he provided the user with more than expected experience.

â–  Excellent all-metal body

Chinalco EZBook Air uses a metal body design that we are familiar with. The A-side and C-side are made of metal, and the B-side and D-side are made of composite materials. The whole machine is a champagne gold color matching, which is the surface treatment technology of the local gold color matching matte on the iPhone. The metal feeling of the whole machine is very strong, and the hand feel is also more comfortable.

Because the ATOM X5's power dissipation control is relatively good, the Zhongba EZBook Air uses a fanless design. The whole bottom surface is very good and the bottom does not have any holes. Four rubber pads can prevent the notebook from scratching, and at the same time it can lift the body to enhance the cooling performance.

The BizBook EZBook Air performed exceptionally well in terms of lightness and thinness. The thickness control was very good. As a 11.6-inch notebook, its thinnest/thickness was equivalent to about 1.5/2 iPhone 6 Plus.

The weight of the Zhongba EZBook Air is also very good. The weight of a single machine is only 0.881kg, and the weight of a traveler with an adapter is only 0.976kg. It can be said to be very portable.

â– Comparison of thinness and functionality

On the B side of the notebook, we can see a 11.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1920×1080. There is a wide border around it, but it looks like there is no discomfort. The display effect and the viewing angle of the screen are relatively good. A front camera is also provided at the center of the top of the B surface.

The C-side of the Zhongba EZBook Air adopts the same metal material as the A-side, and the color matching is the same as that of the whole machine. However, it is worth noting that the hinge part of the Zhongbai EZBook Air is easy to squeeze into the meat on the leg.

In terms of maneuverability, Zhongbo EZBook Air is an integrated two-button touchpad. The left and right buttons of the touchpad are relatively shallow and need to be adapted. The keyboard uses a chocolate keyboard. The keycap has a matte texture. The key path is moderate and the feedback is slightly hard. However, here only a brief description of the keyboard feel, after all, this experience is more to see personal preferences.

The EZBook Air interface part is extremely simple, similar to the 12-inch MacBook: a USB Type-C, a headset interface. As an extremely light, lightweight book, it is not born to expand. Therefore, it can be understood that if you need to expand more interfaces, you can only purchase a docking station. However, the Zhongbai EZBook Air itself is not born for a professional scene, and comes with a USB Type-C transfer that transfers the standard USB interface. The connector facilitates the use of the user.

â–  audio and video entertainment performance is not a major selling point

● 3DMark testing

On February 4, 2013, Futuremark released The New 3DMark. The new 3Dmark supports cross-platform testing of desktop and mobile platforms and supports testing of windows, Android, iOS, and Windows RT system platforms. The new 3Dmark has several different load scenarios, FireStrike (high-end hardware), Sky Diver (high-end hardware), CloudGate (mainstream hardware), and IceStorm (entry-level hardware). In addition to the test scores, the new 3DMark will also give a real-time graph during each test period, recording the frame rate, CPU temperature, GPU temperature, and CPU power consumption. After all, it is only the Atom X5 chip that can only meet basic entertainment needs.

● CineBench R15 test

CineBench R15 only supports 64-bit operating systems. Compared to up to 16 cores in the R11.5 release, the R15 version can support up to 256 logical cores. In addition, the new version also enhances the inspection of shaders, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights, and reflection blurring, making the detection of CPU performance more accurate. The unit of score for CineBench R15 has changed to become cb.

● PCmark 8 test

PCMark 8 is a benchmark performance testing software for Windows system. Home testing is one of the testing modes (5 types in total). It mainly simulates the use environment of common users. The testing project covers web browsing and document processing. Pictures, video chat, light load games, etc., and include both OpenCL accelerated and traditional test modes. PCMark 8 will run a full set of tests and then give a score.

â–  Endurance test

From the performance, we can see that this machine is not aimed at productivity, more just want to make a video entertainment notebook. For the extremely portable and lightweight EZBook Air, if you want to do a good job in audio and video entertainment, only the appearance and portability will not work. Endurance is still important. We used PCmark8 for testing, running home tests at 100% brightness, and finally achieved a 4 hour result, which was reflected in the actual work and met most users' audio and video entertainment needs throughout the day.

â–  can meet daily entertainment needs

In terms of hardware configuration, the EZBook Air is equipped with a 11.6-inch full HD screen with a resolution of 1920×1080. It is equipped with Intel Atom X5 Z8300, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD. We do not need to be overly fantasized about its performance. This is a long-term battery life, focusing on the appearance of video books.

We also tested the power consumption/heat generation in the case of audio/video entertainment, using a fanless design to reduce some power consumption, and the Atom X5 has a very low fever, which guarantees a very good user experience. At the highest brightness, we have Use the built-in player hard solution to play 1080p video 30 minutes power down 9%.

Through the thermal imaging image, we can clearly see that the heat control is quite good, with the maximum temperature being 38.5°C to the left of the upper part of the back, and the positive temperature being controlled below 36°C.
