Recently, many friends have been asking about the heat dissipation of Shenzhou notebooks. The Internet is very inconsistent. Some people say Shenzhou is elegant, and some people talk about ultrabooks. In fact, everyone is talking about the Shenzhou XS series, commonly known as "ultrabooks". Elegant is one of the models, and will be collectively referred to as the XS series below. The editor has conducted extensive investigations and can finally answer the cooling problem of Shenzhou notebooks!
The heat dissipation problem of notebooks has not always been a key indicator of the quality of notebooks, but nowadays solid-state drives are developing rapidly, and notebooks I prefer thin and light laptops, so notebooks without mechanical hard drives and fans appeared. Lenovo's Yoga series came first, followed by the Shenzhou XS series. Without a fan, it naturally leads to poor heat dissipation and causes controversy.
It is a fact that the Shenzhou XS notebook series does not dissipate heat well. Because Shenzhou laptops don't have fans. This is something that no one can refute. Anyone who knows computers knows that 90% of the heat generated by a computer is dissipated through fans. When a computer is placed on a table, very little heat is naturally dissipated through the air.
The reason why Shenzhou XS laptop heat dissipation has attracted so much attention is because of its fanless design. The noise from computer operation mainly comes from two aspects. One is the operation of the mechanical hard disk, and the other is the operation of the CPU fan. These two are very noisy. If you cancel these two, you can achieve almost zero-noise operation, and the thickness of the notebook will be greatly reduced without the mechanical hard drive. But without a fan, it will lead to poor heat dissipation.
Computer heat generation It mainly comes from these parts. The CPU generates the most heat, and thick notebooks generally have fans. The fan is arranged next to the CPU to cool the CPU. Next is the graphics card. The graphics card needs to parse the display information and generates a lot of heat. Generally, if the two are very close to each other, the touch temperature of the notebook will easily exceed 45 degrees Celsius, and this is even with a fan. It can be imagined without a fan.
But why do many people say that heat dissipation is no problem? That’s because of several reasons.
First of all, the Shenzhou XS series is an ultra-thin notebook, and its hardware configuration cannot be compared with high-end business machines or gaming notebooks. All processors use the I5 low-voltage version, and the high-end processors only use the I7 low-voltage version. The low-voltage version produces less heat and has slightly worse performance. Next is the graphics card. The Shenzhou XS series uses many types of graphics cards, but the level is equivalent to 4400-7000 core graphics cards. High configuration is no more than 1G independent graphics card. We can see that the Shenzhou XS series has greatly reduced heat production on these two major heat generators. Moreover, solid-state drives generate much less heat than mechanical hard drives.
Therefore, in terms of heat production, Shenzhou notebooks have relatively little heat, so even though heat dissipation is not good, the operating temperature of the notebook is not very high. So everyone can still buy with confidence. However, the lifespan of this type of notebook will be relatively short, so everyone needs to consider it comprehensively.
