In this era of increasingly homogeneous laptops, how to choose a laptop may give many consumer users a headache.

Although the maximum resolution is only 1366×768, the color performance is still very good among products in the same price range.

▲300,000-pixel high-definition camera

There is a 300,000-pixel high-definition camera above the screen, which can provide high-quality interactive effects for video calls.

The overall configuration of Lenovo Xiaoxin Excellent Edition I2000 is very balanced and can well meet almost all daily needs of consumer-level users. The outstanding performance of the i7-5500U processor can provide very fast response speed. In addition, the hard drive also uses a 500G+8G SSHD combination, and the startup speed is significantly higher than that of traditional mechanical hard drives.

◆Basic performance test

▲Processor parameters

The i7-5500U processor is Intel’s fifth-generation smart Core processor. Compared with the previous generation Product performance is improved by 10% and power consumption is reduced by 20%; at the same time, graphics performance is improved by 24%, with 2 cores and 4 threads, 2.40GHz, and a TDP of only 15W. It achieves a perfect balance between power consumption and performance, and is currently the most popular consumer-grade model configuration.

▲CINEBENCH R15 test

Through the CINEBENCH R15 test, the multi-core score of the processor is 293 cb and the single-core score is 122 cb. It can easily handle daily multi-tasking and complex tasks at the same time. Large-scale software, and can stably bring excellent response speed to users. In daily use, the mid-range i5 processor can already meet the needs better, and the new i7-5500U processor has improved graphics performance by 24% compared with the previous generation product. Therefore, even for professional work needs that handle a large number of complex tasks, Lenovo Xiaoxin Excellent Edition I2000 can give users a perfect experience.

▲3DMARK 11 test

In terms of graphics card, Lenovo Xiaoxin Excellent Edition I2000 does not use a discrete graphics card, but uses an Intel HD 5500 high-definition graphics card integrated into the processor with equally good performance. Although it cannot really be compared with high-performance independent graphics, it is still completely no problem to meet the low demand of mainstream online games like "League of Legends". After passing the 3DMARK 11 test, it finally got a score of P990. The actual performance is very close to the entry-level independent graphics card.

▲PCMARK 7 test

PCMARK 7 was used for the overall machine performance test, and the final score was 3808 points. Since this machine only uses a hybrid hard drive, it adds a lot to the overall performance of the machine. Some other users will ask whether 4G memory is enough? Will having an extra 8G SSD have any effect?

In fact, 4G of memory is completely sufficient for daily use. Even if multiple running tasks are opened, the memory occupied by the system rarely reaches 6G. In addition, although the 8G SSD is inconspicuous when turned on, the main purpose of booting is to read system files, so the rapid response of this 8G is actually enough to make this machine several blocks away from traditional mechanical hard disk computers.

▲PCMARK 8 battery life test

Adjust the power option to Balance, set the screen brightness to 40%, use the HOME mode of PCAMRK 8 to simulate the battery life test, and finally get 3 hours and 8 minutes results. The machine uses a 30WH lithium battery, and the battery life released on the official website is 4 hours. In fact, in energy-saving mode, it is not a problem to achieve 4 hours of battery life unless it is extremely harsh and continuous high-intensity work.

▲The maximum temperature of the keyboard surface of the fuselage is 39.3℃

▲The maximum temperature of the bottom of the fuselage is 45.1℃

Lenovo Xiaoxin passed the 30-minute copy test and performed well The maximum temperature of the keyboard surface of the I2000 is 39.3℃, and the average temperature is controlled at a good level of 34.7℃; the maximum temperature of the bottom is 45.1℃, and the average temperature is controlled at 38.5℃. From the two pictures above, we can see that the temperature at the bottom is mainly concentrated at the heat dissipation grille, which corresponds to the position of the keyboard surface, so this should be the location of the processor. The overall temperature control is good, and the higher temperature is mainly due to the heat dissipation vents here.
