Asus the BU400 commercial ultra-extreme evaluation: more than 7 hours of battery life
Over most of this belongs to ASUSPRO new commercial series, while investing in new product innovation and conservative Asus usual creative ideas, inherited the essence of the older generation products, coupled with the improvement and innovation, BU400 over most of this is the case. If you have to this new ultra-extreme divided characteristics that can be summed up four points: integration, sturdy, safe and efficient.
In our previous evaluation, Asus BU400 Although there is no particular surprise to us, but in the end of 2012, also released new indeed something slightly surprised. In our opinion, this the end of BU400 commercial product not meet the market, its body with innovative products, that is carbon fiber. The carbon fiber is not a new thing, but is the first time to use the ASUS products.
Asus BU400 series of products with a variety of hardware configurations, different hardware design are the same. The series between the hardware main is whether equipped with discrete graphics and solid-state hard drive size. This evaluation ASUS received this commercial ultra-extreme BU400A, the aircraft and not mentioned before exposure with NVS 5200M graphics card, hard drive capacity is 128GB, the selling price will be some promotions.
Features stand out: "Carbon Gold with high security
Feel it when first saw the Asus BU400 over most of this time, the author is surprised, this sleek notebook filled with the field of modeling concept to a "square" design it is not easy. Compared Asus Notebook notebook entire product line today, the shape like the design of the UX series, but has a different concept of this BU400.
The editing personally trampling test Asus BU400 real machine experience
BU400 use as a commercial this feel good
With sharp angular styling is perhaps the most important feature of the notebook, and leave alone the use of feed materials, the the whole corners and the fuselage bottom of the shell angular visual design, I would say that this is not a "cake cutting" . Simply gives the impression of this notebook is tough, mature, and this is perhaps the business people want to feel.
Come talk BU400 the workmanship, the materials used in the ASUS official propaganda, we understand that this notebook uses a combination of carbon fiber with alloy (Ethernet card only simple card, when I got this product really did not find the number of plastic components The population of the plastic material). First of the aircraft to cover the use of carbon fiber material, we can see that the arrangement of the carbon fiber lines from the surface, according to the official introduction BU400 safety factor can even withstand a stampede of adult men, and we also do a simple The trampling testing.
High security due to the overall design of the laptop, the inside of the top cover carbon fiber material and design support skeleton, while the other part of the body using a high strength alloy. Of course, you need to make everyone understand the trampling tests is not a stand-bit test, but the stampede test, carbon fiber has the characteristics of high toughness, able to withstand the high strength instant impact without deformation, but for a long time to squeeze still cause irreparable injury.
This ultra-extreme endurance test software we choose PowerMark, and PCMark, 3DMark, also developed by FutureMark company launched. It will continuously loop to run a set of test scripts, including four common applications: Internet browsing, word processing, video playback, 3D games, as close as possible to the actual use of the vast majority of users.
Taking into account that usually need to extend the life of the notebook would power management settings for power saving mode, so before testing is also true setting, while prohibiting the notebook to reduce the brightness automatically after a certain period of time, turn off the screen backlight is prohibited, prohibit automatic sleep. At the same time, we let the WiFi maintained in the open state, to simulate the user's actual use state.
Adjust the power supply to the power-saving mode after a period of testing, Asus the BU400 eventually get the test scores of 7 hours and 15 minutes, this life has been very good results in respect of the current notebook. Of course, the practical applications will theory test there are some differences, the testing time to reach more than seven hours, suitable for use in low-intensity use of mobile office. (Note: The 78% figure represents the test use, the final score belongs to estimates, there are some errors)
