This sentence is very suitable to describe the recent 15.6-inch large-screen ultra-pole of this development trend. Previously, outside of Intel and hardware partners continue to reduce the thickness of the fuselage, but do not sacrifice any performance practice to give quite sure (and once popular Internet this significantly different), but only pity ultra extreme of the size of the screen the ceiling once only 14 inches. HP Envy ultra-extreme 6t-1000 15.6 inches officially marks the return of ultra-pole of this, this is undoubtedly a great boon to users who like large-size display.
Detailed hardware specifications prior to the release of Windows 8, 6t-1000 ultra-extreme all leak out, what is surprising is HP not for this ultra-extreme is equipped with a touch screen, there is no pre-installed Windows operating system, and Native to run the Windows 7 operating system. Of course, if the user touch-friendly Windows 8 more interested in, you can select the version of HP's new Windows 8 6t-1100.
Turning to the 15.6-inch ultra-extreme, it may be some people doubt, this oversized LCD screen will not destroy the super pole this experience will be improved over most of this experience? Envy 6t-1000 series ultra-pole of this whether it is worthwhile to start it?
At present, commercially available standard edition Envy 6t-1000 ultra extreme of the price of $ 799.99 (about 4985 yuan), fuselage comes standard with an Intel Core i5 3317U processor with HD 4000 graphics card, and other ultra-extreme Built-in 4GB memory. Gamers or show higher performance demands of users, you can spend $ 75 to buy a compatible version of the the ADM HD7670 graphics card.
Fuselage storage and Dell Inspiron 14z, Dell used a 32GB mSATA solid state drive performance far exceeds 5400 rpm mechanical hard disk. HP hard disk performance? In this regard, we have conducted a comparative benchmark, before this, however, I would first take a look at the overall situation.
For many users, using the solid state drive, it is difficult to accept the mechanical hard lackluster performance, but if you want to cut costs, then the mechanical hard drive and solid state drive hybrid solution is the best choice. Windows 7 over most of this product online using this with not many manufacturers, Windows 8 ultra-extreme, more and more manufacturers began to pay more attention to this to ensure performance, but also be able to control the cost of hybrid hard combination. As can be seen from the actual test results Envy 6t-1000 switch time of 33 seconds and 11 seconds, respectively, and these two sets of data worthy of Windows 7 simply equipped with mechanical hard over most of this score.
The first time you start the machine, the user needs to take a long time to determine the left of those pre-installed applications. 6t-1000 software preloaded on HP is not really crazy, but also a large gap and the pure concept of operating system. In addition, many of the built-in service is simply garbage, such as eBay is actually just a link.Although not much, but HP's own pre-installed application or spend a lot of time to figure out the function of each program.
In fact, the majority of pre-installed tools on the core functionality of the operating system and do not have much practical help. Of course, some of the user-friendly features, such as shortcuts depth set the font size is very intimate. HP Security Assistant allows users to clear some of the operating system, built-in security features, and help users to backup system files.
Recovery butler can also be regarded as not much of a HP pre-installed tools utility software. But for some primary user may slightly cumbersome. In addition, HP has also built a the CyberLink Youcam software, and some third tool.
Overall, Envy 6t-1000 ultra-extreme is relatively large, but not bulky. The machine weighs only 4.75 pounds (2.15 kilograms). The body size is 14.72 inches x9.95 "x0.78".Slightly heavier than the 14.1-inch ultra-pole of this slightly larger, but this does not mean that this ultra-pole of this is a cumbersome large tank.
The, HP prepare midnight two colors, black and natural silver version 6t-1000/1100, natural silver section in the part of the retailer price higher than $ 25. Midnight black and natural silver two models represent two decidedly different style, midnight black looks more glamorous and attractive. However, it also allows this ultra-extreme has become a large fingerprint collector, dirt-general. Body back with aluminum metal wire drawing process design, the bottom left with the simplicity of the HP Official Logo outstanding visual effects.
If you think a rounded rectangle design philosophy makes the device easier to put into a backpack or handbag, 6t-1000 Rounded Rectangle body design must be very lovable. 6t-1000 is not only sleek body design, and is very solid, very close and the work of the MacBook Air, the obvious contrast is the appearance of color.
Envy 6t-1000 ultra extreme of the biggest selling point was undoubtedly the fuselage equipped with 15.6-inch display, but unfortunately HP did not fully play the advantages of the 15.6-inch screen. Compared to general over most of this screen big, but the 1366x768 resolution is a little matter of some regret. 14 inches and over most of this size with 1366x768 resolution and there is no big problem, but 15.6 inches over most of this is not to say the same to Vizio with 1080p Full HD screen, at least a 1600x900 resolution screen.
Open the screen back cover of the fuselage, and the same can be read out a from the inside to the outside of the aesthetic design style. Do not see the plastic fuselage design by aluminum brushed metal design, and the keyboard and touchpad surrounded. Without exception, the internal dirt this brushed metal industry is less prominent, is also very easy to leave fingerprints.
Envy 6t-1000 on the numeric keys to integrate a large number of multimedia features, but not equipped with a small keyboard, which is a pity for the same 15.6-inch ultra-extreme, but in turn, the reason is not equipped with a small keyboard HP enlarge the button spacing between to ensure excellent keyboard input experience, so this design or the pros and cons of coexistence. In addition, HP can then keyboard height design slightly protruding. Generally speaking, HP handling the keyboard to restore the features of PC products, has not reduced the size of some of the major keys such as Shift, Enter and Backspace, and allows the user to adapt to the new products very smooth.
The center touchpad located below the keyboard positive support, such as two-finger zoom, scroll type of multi-touch gestures. But around the lack of physical buttons or a little less comfortable, Although you can click on the touchpad left and right buttons function simulation. In addition, users can also directly click the the touchpad the top left of the shortcut button to activate / deactivate the touchpad.
Currently, the vast majority of the market over most of this and the MacBook Air's design style is very similar, but Envy 6t-1000 but not. The thickness of the front and rear of the fuselage base line, there is no obvious trapezoidal slope design. Fuselage Ethernet port is also very unique, covered by a plastic baffle, the down toggle baffle to use the NIC interface.
The other side of the fuselage built-in HDMI interface, two USB3.0 interface, hard drive and power indicator is also located in the fuselage on the left.
The top of the right side of the fuselage has a Kensington security slot back turn the microphone and speaker jacks, USB 2.0 interface, power adapter lamp and 65W power connector. 6t-1000 and currently on the market the main ultra-extreme, and no built-in CD-ROM drive, if users need to buy their own CD-ROM drive.
Midnight black version of the fuselage sites heavily red, just above once a ventilation grille and a speaker, while the speaker is blessing Beats Audio sound.
In order to obtain accurate results to 6t-1000 performance, we have conducted SANDRA 2011, System Analyzer, Diagnostic and Reporting Assistant. Tests. All tests are connected to a power, the factory default settings and high-performance mode.
SiSoft SANDRA
(SANDRA processor performance and the the multimedia performance test)
(SANDRA memory performance and physical storage performance test)
SANDRA benchmark results show good agreement Envy 6t-1000 processor performance and the expected value. While this may seem like a silly test, but this joint test can determine the operating system if all the hardware performance to play all, or is affected by those factors.
HP Envy 6t-1000 is equipped with a DDR3 memory, overall performance has been greatly improved, despite the hard disk is slightly disappointing. This is mainly attributed to traditional mechanical hard drive 5400 rpm. However, if repeated tests mSATA solid state drive benchmark identified to belong to a commonly used tool, the test results and the performance will be improved. If all equipped with a solid-state drive, then the results can be imagined.
ATTO hard disk performance comparison
So far, Asus Zenbook SSDs Test has been to occupy a leading position, then the HP mechanical hard disk performance, how will it?
ASUS Zenbook UX21
The the Asus Zenbook solid-state hard disk read and write fast, close, far more than the notebook hard drive performance with desktop-class solid-state hard drive performance.
HP Envy Ultrabook 6t-1000
The Asus Zenbook HP Envy 6t-1000 500GB hard disk performance significantly with SSDs rejection in the back, but even so, in the field of traditional mechanical hard, 6t-1000 still is no doubt about the winner. 111MB / s transfer rate is also close to the desktop-class performance.
Cinebench R11.5 64-bit
Maxon Cinebench R11.5 benchmark based on the commonly used Cinema 4D 3D content creation software, primarily used to test the performance of the processor and graphics card. Processor side, Cinebench will render a realistic 3D scenes, and then divided into 64 threads to handle more than 300,000 polygons. Graphics benchmark control nearly one million polygons and text to capture the results.
The HP Envy 6t-1000 Cinebench benchmark results Likewise surprising, winning the highest score of the OpenGL project. In order to ensure that the results are not accidental, in the case of multi-pass test, the result is still the case. The processor performance is also among the highest.
Futuremark PCMark 7
Futuremark's PCMark 7 is the latest version of the PCMark test suite, was released in early 2011. This benchmark software specifically for Windows 7 environment update application performance testing benchmarks. And divided into 25 separate test project, respectively, for the storage, computing, graphics, browser games and so on.
PCMark 7 benchmark result is also surprising that the mSATA SSD and HD 4000 mashup so the Envy 6t-1000 machine performance beyond the vast majority of ultra-extreme products.
Futuremark PCMark Vantage
PCMark 7 test, we also used the previous generation benchmark tools PCMark 7 Vantage repeat the test. PCMark Vantage is mainly used for the simulation of complex productivity tasks, including high-definition TV, movie player, games and image editing. Given before the number of test data, Envy 6t-1000 into the inside of this test help to provide users with a more detailed reference to the purchase.
PCMark Vantage benchmark, Envy 6t-1000 score is not high, the Asus Zenbook far behind.All 9 involved in testing the product in the fourth position.
Can only run over most of this did not game design, so the vast majority of ultra this outstanding performance under, just a simple game, not do anything for the large first-person shooter. Even so, the user or be ultra-extreme gaming performance is full of curiosity, Envy 6t-1000 performance in the end how?
3DMark11
Futuremark released 3D Mark 11 benchmark test is to test the graphics performance through DirectX 11 and several high-quality demo video. Because the test set specifically for notebooks and ultra-extreme performance, and therefore need to distinguish between the different types of products on the final results contrast.
Several tests before Envy 6t-1000 performance is very good, but the performance test performance in general, after all, the HD 4000 is not originally designed for the big game.The user can only be used up to run some 2D games and small 3D games.
Far Cry 2 Game Testing
The benchmark is just a simple simulation game environment, actual performance will have a particular game to test. Test game performance multi-use first-person 3D games, the biggest feature of this game is to contain a large number of shrub vegetation, the effects of the explosion and confusing graphics. Turn off the AA and other effects, for example, in the game and set the resolution to run the silos period Cry 2 game ranch scene adjusted to 1280x720.
The actual results show that even old games, and in the case of resolution adjusted to 1280x720, the closure of some effects, are stretched. This means that if you want to ensure higher frame rates per second, will have to give more effects. The results of this test means integrated graphics over most of this product had to compromise the big game on the PC, the HP Envy 6t-1000 ultra extreme of the same is true.
So, if the user is higher over most of this intention, and less concerned about the game performance, and more concerned about battery life, then over most of this will certainly be the best choice.
Battery life test
Browser battery life benchmark Envy 6t-1000 final results on a single page of nearly seven and a half hours, which is extremely impressive, at least so far no able to reach the level of ultra-extreme.
Battery Eater Pro test, in the analog more complex usage scenario case, the brightness of the screen is adjusted to 50% of the tests. 6t-1000 performance in general, insisted only 2 hours 22 minutes, nearly 30 minutes less than the first. It should be noted, however, that the Envy 6t-1000 15.6-inch screen, so theoretically impossible with the smaller size of most of the product life time consistent. So, in fact, the Envy 6t-1000's performance is quite satisfactory.
Performance summary
HP's attempt to take advantage of the Envy 6t-1000 ultra-extreme stunning the different aspects, such as the highest in the Cinebench OpenGL score PCMark 7 benchmark tests highlight the performance of the overall performance of equipment and can be equipped with a 15.6-inch display circle life point. Overall, this is a superior appearance, game performance in general, but a veritable ultra-pole of this product.
15.6 inches over most of this production line is not much, and there are significant differences and smaller size products. HP is able to embark on this road many manufacturers reluctant to go, and has made a substantial breakthrough, and should be encouraged.Unfortunately, HP did not go too far. Originally should appear full HD or 1600x900 resolution screen, eventually with a 1366x768 resolution, instead, can be described as missed opportunities.
Screen resolution aside aside, Envy 6t-1000 ultra-pole of the overall standard of decent. Aluminum brushed metal appearance of a sleek, new keyboard layout to maximize restore the user's habits, the switch machine speed in the lead.
Perhaps people should also belong to the most impressive battery life, especially in the face of a 15.6-inch screen, simply surf the Web to insist on more than seven hours really incredible , great business users lethal. Life services Envy 6t-1000 is a 4-cell battery.
Such as the beginning of the article said, the brand-new version of Windows 8 (6t-1100) is already on the market, other aspects of the two models is consistent. From the price point of view, this is also a very competitive product. In addition, HP is also the same, and many manufacturers, by way of coupons to attract consumers to buy, the maximum discount up to $ 150, so that the standard version is priced at $ 650 (about 4050 yuan RMB), this ultra- pole of this in terms of absolute value for money.
