Nowadays, with the rapid development of the computer industry, the overall performance of notebooks has also been rapidly improved. Of course, what is closely related to computer notebooks is the computer's processor. Today, the editor brings you a laptop - Lenovo y550, which is a model using an Intel Core i7-70qm quad-core processor. Let the editor introduce this Lenovo y550 laptop to you in detail so that everyone can understand it better.
Configuration analysis
In terms of hardware configuration, Y550 uses the Intel Core i7 quad-core processor i7-720QM, clocked at 1.6GHz, and is paired with the Intel PM55 chipset. The graphics card uses a mid-to-high-end nVidia Geforce GT240M independent graphics card with 1GB of video memory. The entire machine provides users with strong performance support in terms of performance. At the same time, the whole machine comes standard with 4GB DDR3 memory and 500GB large-capacity hard drive, which saves users the trouble of self-upgrading.
The following is a brief introduction to the Intel Core i7, a new-architecture mobile version of the Core i7 processor. The two mainstream mid-range processors are the 1.6GHz Core i7 720QM and the 1.73GHz Core i7 820QM. There is also a The extreme product is the 2GHz Core i7 920XM Extreme, which we call the Extreme Edition i7. The 1.6GHz i7 720QM used in this Y550 is at the entry level in the mobile i7 series, but the performance of its quad-core processor is still enough to meet the needs of entertainment users.
The new Calpella platform was once speculated to be the Centrino 3 platform, but Intel has decided to downplay the Centrino brand that has been in existence for many years and use the Centrino brand mainly for wireless applications. In terms of network card products, the notebook platform is fully promoted with the processor brand "Core". The new Calpella platform is initially aimed at high-end mobile users and is mainly based on four cores. It currently includes three products: Core i7-920XM Extreme, Core i7-820QM, and Core i7-720QM, with main frequencies of 2.0GHz/1.73GHz/1.6GHz respectively. , the third-level cache is 8MB/8MB/6MB, both support Hyper-Threading and Turbo Boost acceleration technology, the thermal design power consumption is up to 55W/45W/45W respectively, and it integrates a memory controller (supports DDR3-1333).
Performance test
A brief description of the test platform: Install the Windows 7 Chinese operating system, install the necessary chipset driver, graphics card driver, and sound card Drivers and network card drivers, etc.; turn off the Vista sidebar, turn off ORC, turn off the screensaver, turn off hibernation, turn off system Update and other automatic update settings; set the desktop background to a solid color, select and set the battery's highest performance mode; set the system's highest performance mode.
First, let’s conduct the Windows 7 self-test of the entire machine. Through the test, the Y550P scored 5.8 points, and the processor and memory items exceeded 7 points, which is a very good performance. This performance is really what entertainment users are attracted to!
Appearance introduction
In terms of appearance design, the overall design of the Y550 is basically the same as the previous Y550A, except for the top cover of the Y550 body. The personalized design is very avant-garde. The words "ART OF GAMING" are printed on the center of the top cover, and the surrounding texture design is very beautiful. The Lenovo LOGO in the upper left corner of the top cover is clear. At the same time, the fuselage is designed with a deep red color strip on the edge of the casing.
The Y550 screen adopts a 15.6-inch large screen design with a resolution of 1366×768. The golden ratio of 16:9 allows users to have a more comfortable visual effect. Press lightly on the top cover of the fuselage, and there are almost no obvious ripples on the screen. It seems that the large Y550P has a very tough body and strong pressure resistance. The maximum opening angle of the screen is slightly smaller, only about 135°, which may not meet the special needs of some users.
In terms of weight, a large-screen notebook will naturally not be small. The Y550P weighs 2.718Kg. After equipped with an adapter, the mass exceeds 3Kg and reaches 3.252Kg. This will certainly be very difficult for users to carry around. inconvenient.
This Lenovo y550 gives people a sense of wisdom. Its appearance design is very beautiful and tough. Not only that, its functional hardware configuration is also very powerful. Its speed is sharp and its skills are strong. It can be called a notebook with all-round audio, video and entertainment. , but the price of the entire notebook exceeds 10,000 yuan, which is not affordable for ordinary consumers. The most important thing is that the performance of this notebook is very high. The above is the editor’s detailed introduction to Lenovo y550. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
