This time, the Dell Vostro 14 5000, which came to PConline's evaluation room, uses Intel's latest seventh-generation Core i5-7200U processor. In order to improve the image processing capabilities, it also has a GeForce 940MX discrete graphics card, in addition to its own 4GB DDR4 memory, 128GB SSD and 500GB mechanical hard drive configuration. From the configuration point of view, Dell Vostro 14 5000 is a standard office product, so let's take a look at what features it has.
â– Dell Vostro 14 5000: "Bright Gold": both business and fashion
Dell Vostro 14 5000 has changed the style of the low-key dark colors in the past. It has three colors: Smart Blue, Bright Gold, and Deep Ash. This time we have gotten a very stylish "Gold Gold." The shell of Dell Vostro 14 5000 is made of metal material and has a matte texture on the surface to make it feel comfortable and delicate. There are many advantages to using a metal body. One can increase the degree of ruggedness, effectively protect the screen, and secondly, the surface of the matte texture is not easy to stick fingerprints. This design is widely used in high-end models. In the center of the top we can also see DELL's iconic Logo.
The overall appearance of the Dell Vostro 14 5000 is square, but as you look closer you will see that the front of the fuselage has been rounded in an excessive manner. We can find some mellow elements in the details under the fortitude of fortitude. Hard and soft.
Dell Vostro 14 5000 uses a 14-inch TN screen with a resolution of 1366×768. From the official configuration information, the Dell Vostro 14 5000 series does not support the upgrade in resolution. Only this screen is available. This is also consistent with its initial positioning.
In today's ever-increasing demand for mobile office, the Dell Vostro 14 5000 also controls the "body" very well. It is thinner than the diameter of the one-dollar coin. The weight of the whole machine is only 1.703kg, both male and female. Consumers, this weight will not cause too much trouble, it is very suitable for carrying.
â– Dell Vostro 14 5000: Safe and secure control
The black and gray color matching of the Dell Vostro 14 5000's B-side and C-sides contrasted sharply with the golden color of the top cover. The Dell Vostro 14 5000's C-side design is simple and compact. In addition to the power switch and fingerprint recognition module on the right side, there are no other superfluous shortcut buttons to ensure the integrity of the whole machine. The appearance of the fingerprint module is also a matter of reason. As a business product, the fingerprint module can effectively improve the security index of the whole machine, so that the user's data can be guaranteed.
The Dell Vostro 14 5000 uses a classic chocolate keyboard design. The keystrokes are moderate, and the resilience is also good. It is even more powerful for text input. Even if you type for a long time, it is not easy to produce fatigue. Touchpad, it uses a large-scale integrated design, integrated touchpad advantage is that it can achieve a wider range of cursor movement.
Dell Vostro 14 5000 has a rich interface configuration, HDMI, VGA, RJ45 and SD card slot are all equipped with two sides of the fuselage, in addition, more conventional USB interface, 3.5mm headphone jack all available, it can be said that its expansion performance Very good.
â– Dell Vostro 14 5000: Screen and Backlit Keyboard Display
â— The screen lights up the basic display
The screen lighting basic display is not a test on the expressiveness of the screen color, but is intended to show the majority of consumers the basic situation after the notebook screen is lit. Due to multiple factors such as the environment, screen brightness, background image, engineering prototype, and photographing methods, the displayed screen effects may be slightly different from the actual situation. Therefore, this display is for reference only!
â— Keyboard backlight display
The role of the backlight is to allow the user to see the key symbols on the keyboard in a dimly lit environment.
â– Dell Vostro 14 5000: Cooling performance is good
â— Limit thermal test
We use the Furmark copying software to perform a limit test on the Dell Vostro 14 5000. The Furmark will run the entire two heat-generating components, the CPU and the graphics card. After 60 minutes of operation, the temperature will reach a limit height. Intuitively, we can see the heat dissipation of each machine during operation. We also used the FLUKE infrared thermal imager to observe the temperature rise of each location.
Although not a game of this product, but the Dell Vostro 14 5000 is equipped with a discrete graphics card, then we must look at its performance under the extreme copy machine test. The heat window of the Dell Vostro 14 5000 is set on the shaft. Looking down, the left side of the cooling window is the air inlet and the right side is the air outlet. So in the figure we can see that the heat is concentrated in the right area. The maximum temperature in the keyboard area is also near the outlet, and the maximum temperature is 56.6°C. Affected by this, the temperature in the middle of the keyboard area is above 40°C, and most of the remaining temperature is controlled below 35°C.
Dell Vostro 14 5000 has a long strip of natural cooling windows at the bottom of the fuselage, which can play a role in assisting heat dissipation to some extent. The maximum temperature at the bottom of the fuselage is still near the heatsink. The maximum temperature is 56.9°C. Some of the temperature that the hollows touches the motherboard is also around 55°C, and most of the rest of the temperature control performance is still good. As a business product, the Dell Vostro 14 5000 will not be fully loaded during use, so there is no need to worry about its performance in terms of heat dissipation.
â— PCMark 8 (Home-OpenCL) battery life 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.
