For PC gamers, game notebooks are an effective alternative to desktops, but relatively expensive, such as the famous Alienware Alien series. However, the recent digital Storm launched a Krypton game, providing a strong configuration and performance, while offering a price of only 2251 U.S. dollars (about 13880 yuan), including 17-inch 1080P screen, core I7–4810MQ processor, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSDD+750GB SATA Hard disk and GeForce GTX 880M graphics card (8GB Independent video memory), cost-effective or very outstanding. So, what's the overall experience, look at the trial experience together.
Appearance and workmanship
Digital Storm Krypton is actually a blue sky foundry by a famous OEM computer maker, so the workmanship is not as good as Dell's Alienware. In fact, the machine's top cover to feel more vulnerable, also by the Blue Sky origin also common problems, this is the user needs attention.
In addition, the overall body feel very thick, about 5 kilograms of the weight is obviously not suitable for outside to carry, more suitable for the desktop as a substitute. In addition, the touchpad has a certain drift sense, the operation is not always accurate, of course, you may not use it often. The keyboard feeling is still good, the backlight effect is also satisfactory.
Digital Storm Krypton also provides a very comprehensive interface output, including HDMI, mini DP, two USB 3.0, a USB 2.0 and a USB 2.0/e-sata combination, also has S/PDIF, DAC and so on, but also integrates Bluetooth 4.0, AC Standard WiFi and Blu-ray burning optical drive, the only regret is that there is no FireWire FireWire interface, can not use Thunderbolt devices.
Processor and video card performance
On the processor side, Digital Storm Krypton's core i7–4810mq is slightly inferior to the 4910MQ of the same level Alienware 17 (2014 edition), so the score worldbench in the Lesser 9 run score test. Of course, 6 points of the gap in the actual use of the basic experience is not the difference.
Processor Run split test
Actual game run frame rate score
In the game, 8GB Independent video memory of the GeForce GTX 880M is obviously a very strong configuration, to 1080P Full HD resolution, medium quality operation of "biochemical surprise unlimited", can achieve 125fps frame speed performance, performance is very good. Although eon-17s can also achieve this result, but its price is higher than digital Storm Krypton nearly 8000 yuan, so more highlight digital Storm of cost-effective.
Battery Life Score
As for battery life, Digital Storm Krypton can achieve about 3 hours 22 points of endurance, higher than eon-17s 2 hours 34 points and Alienware 17 hours 2 minutes, of course, for such a heavy game originally said, going out to carry basically meaningless, But at least in some special cases, longer endurance is more advantageous.
Summarize
Obviously, Digital Storm Krypton is a Super game book with a high performance ratio, which is very satisfying, while the price is obviously lower than other mainstream brands. However, some minor flaws are unavoidable, especially fuselage design, after all, frivolous is also a big trend of the game, even the 17-inch model is no exception.
