The real reason why the fruit powder lovers love the MacBook is that in addition to its stylish, lightweight appearance, the most important point is its easy-to-use, non-stucking Mac OS X operating system, but unlike its almost flawless IOS system on the mobile phone side. , Apple Mac OS X operating system for some of the office crowd is really not very easy to use, difficult to use office software, can not find the storage file, greatly reducing the overall efficiency of the office, Xiao Bian today brought us a Pre-installed Windows 10 operating system ASUS U3000 office, now let us take a look at this Win10 office artifacts what MacBook Air what advantages, what are the shortcomings?
Today we chose the same model as the 13.3-inch top version of the MacBook Air equipped with an i7 processor. Compared to the more high-end and more expensive MacBook Pro, the MacBook Air 13.3 looks more objective, after all, more than 10,000. More than the ocean's MacBook Pro ASUS U3000 compared to 6,499 yuan, it is a bit too appropriate, if you have to say that cost-effective, then Xiao Bian will have nothing to say.
In terms of configuration, the ASUS U3000 is equipped with Intel's sixth-generation processor i7-6500U, 8G memory, 512G SSD, HD 520 nuclear display, and 1080P full HD resolution display. Compared to the MacBook Air 13.3 top-matching version mentioned above, the biggest advantage of the ASUS U3000 is the hard disk, and its CPU, nuclear display is only slightly improved.
Appearance: radish pickles, love each
As the saying goes: “Raw radishes pickles, each has its own love!†For the fruit powder and ASUS fans, the appearance does not actually have the imaginative power to lead consumption. First of all, Apple MacBook Air has a consistent design style, just like its iPhone-based mobile phone series. Since the first generation of products, in addition to the continuous upgrading of hardware and the continuous increase in the number of screens, there has been no innovation or change in the overall appearance. Even more so, in recent years, almost unchanged appearance, just upgrading the hardware configuration, the screen is always a tasteless design of 1440900 resolution, so that fruit powder "disappointed" at the same time, but also demonstrated the MacBook Air 2016 new products anxious expectations. But if you look at it from another perspective, perhaps the immutable appearance is the MacBook logo, and it is one of the reasons why the fruit powder loves it.
For ASUS U series notebook products, we can not say how stylish or gorgeous it is compared to MacBook, but its unique A-side design and overall mold do make many ASUS fans "come in love." ASUS Lingyao U3000 lightweight portable body with all aluminum alloy material, integrated CNC molding process, less than 2 cm body thickness can withstand up to 100 pounds of external force extrusion, effectively protect the motherboard and screen, you can feel free to It enters crowded environments such as subways, and no longer worry about people smashing your love machine. A surface design is simple but not simple, continuation of Asus classic concentric hair texture so that the texture of the machine full, but also has a special effect of fingerprint residue resistance.
The same MacBook Air machine with one-piece molding process adopts a silver anodized process casing. The surface of the camera body is also very delicate, and it is not easy to stick fingerprints. The handle is also relatively good. In short, ASUS U3000 and MacBook Air almost the same from the craft point of view, the biggest difference may be the addition of CNC technology, increase the fuselage strength, effectively protect the computer hardware. The appearance of color, ASUS U3000 is relatively rich, including gold, brown, purple three color, as to which products you like, the kind of color, then completely look at personal preferences.
Details: ASUS interface more full-key similar to the screen clearer
If the two notebooks are evenly divided in terms of appearance, the ASUS U3000 is more intimate in terms of convenience for consumers. Here we compare the interface, keystroke, and screen resolution.
Interface: Asus is more complete
Left interface
Right side interface
We can see that compared to the MacBook Air, ASUS U3000 provides consumers with a more complete external device connection interface, including HDMI video output interface and mini DP interface, and two USB 3.0 interfaces than the MacBook Air to facilitate Connect an external device. Compared to the ASUS U3000, MacBook Air's biggest feature may be the lightning interface, Thunderbolt connection technology (thunderbolt interface) combines PCIExpress data transmission technology and DisplayPort display technology, can simultaneously transmit data and video signals, and each The channels provide bidirectional 10 Gbps bandwidth.
As a whole, the ASUS U3000 has more advantages in terms of interface than the MacBook Air. Today's over-the-phase lightning interface protocol is inconvenient compared to the traditional HDMI, mini DP, and USB 3.0 interfaces. Asus is a victory.
Key process: preferences vary from person to person
(Keyboard design) From the keyboard layout, ASUS U3000 and MacBook Air both use island-style keyboard design, the overall keyboard layout is similar, because the two operating systems are different, so some of the function keys are also different. The biggest difference between the two keyboards is the handling of the keycap surface. The surface of the ASUS U3000 keycap is frosted to effectively prevent keyboard oiling and fingerprinting, while the MacBook Air uses a skin-like coating design. The touch may feel more comfortable, but after a period of use, it is not difficult to find that the surface of the apple keycap is not only easy to oil, but also easy to stick sweat, compared to ASUS U3000 seems more reasonable.
(Keyboard feel) In terms of actual experience, the material of the MacBook Air skin type we mentioned above may be more comfortable. In the rest, both of the keystroke processes are relatively moderate, and the keycap spacing is appropriate. Key pressure ASUS U3000 is relatively soft, both of them are relatively quick rebound, and the mute effect is relatively good, after a long time of use there is no uncomfortable feeling, the two are comparable in terms of tapping feel. Therefore, as a whole, the keyboard preferences are different from person to person. If you do not want the keyboard to oil, you should still choose the ASUS U3000.
(Touch experience) In terms of the touch panel, because the two systems are different, the practical application also has a big difference. Apple MacBook Air supports multi-touch, and touchpad area is large, multi-fingered control is also very convenient; and ASUS U3000 pre-installed Windows 10 operating system, native support multi-finger gesture control, such as three fingers flicking out Cortana, The three-finger cleaning switchover switching procedure and so on, ease of use is also very awesome. From this point of view, both the ASUS U3000 and the MacBook Air are both superior in handling.
Screen: Asus is clearer
The MacBook Air 13.3-inch product line may be the earliest fruit powder Tucao its low-resolution LED-backlit display, as consumers we are sometimes really difficult to understand, why in the era of rampant 1080P, MacBook Air is still stubbornly Select the 1440900 resolution display. One of the highlights is the matte display of the ASUS U3000, while the MacBook Air uses a mirror display. From the visual effects, it is clear that the ASUS U3000 is better.
Performance: Asus CPU core stronger hard disk bigger and faster
CPU+ Core: ASUS is slightly stronger
ASUS U3000 equipped with Intel's sixth-generation i7-6500U processor, and integrated HD 520 core graphics, and MacBook Air 13.3 top version is equipped with Intel's fifth-generation processor i7-5650U, and integrated HD 6000 core graphics.
ASUS U3000 i7-6500U processor
ASUS U3000 equipped with i7-6500U processor clocked at 2.5GHz, the maximum Turbo frequency is 3.3GHz, TDP is 15W, 2 core 4 threads; and i7-5650U processor clocked at 2.2GHz, the maximum Turbo frequency is 3.1GHz, The overall actual experience is not much different, and the actual test scores are almost the same.
From the screenshot of the above test process, we can find that in the core graphics card, the HD 520 sixth-generation core graphics card is slightly higher than the HD 6000 fifth-generation core graphics card, and the overall performance is similar to the HD 6100.
Hard disk: Asus bigger and faster
ASUS U3000 512G SSD
Compared to MacBook Air 13.3 256G PCIe flash memory, the application of ASUS U3000 512G SSD is obviously more tempting. The greater capacity and faster speed make ASUS U3000 more sincere.
Evaluation summary :
Overall, the ASUS U3000 is slightly better in terms of detail and hardware configuration than the Apple MacBook Air 13.3. A more complete interface design, a clearer screen resolution, and a larger hard disk capacity are different from the MacBook Air 13.3. The biggest advantage, but the overall performance and experience is not much difference, but in view of the differences in the system, which notebook to choose the most daily or work use depends entirely on personal preferences and needs.
