Samsung has different products for a variety of customers, including not only hybrid laptops, but also laptops that can run Android and WINDOWS8 dual systems. Even so, there will be some customers prefer the most traditional, with excellent performance and concise appearance of notebook products. Today we are talking about a device---Samsung Ativ Book 6. The machine is equipped with a 15-inch touchscreen and a full-sized keyboard, and its performance is not as normal as you might think. Recently, the relevant people have been to the Samsung Ativ Book 6 for evaluation, below let us share.
Hardware & Design Articles
Samsung Ativ Book 6 features a 2.4GHz Intel Core i7 3635QM four core processor with 8GB memory space. Although the machine is not equipped with the best quality of the chip, but its overall performance can definitely make most users satisfied. In addition, the machine is equipped with 1TB of internal storage space, I think this storage capacity if used to store movies, music or photos, there should be no problem.
As mentioned earlier, Samsung Ativ Book 6 is equipped with a 15-inch touchscreen, and its resolution is 1920x1080 pixels. At this resolution, the text appears very clear, the image and video also appear lifelike and very moving, I believe that the performance and clarity of the display screen is absolutely the most users of the important condition of the notebook.
The notebook is equipped with a full-size Chiclet-style keyboard, and the right-hand side of the overall keyboard is a small keyboard that can be easily used for computing. I personally think that the overall feeling of the keyboard is very good, but its typing efficiency seems to be slightly missing. It's also possible that I'm not quite comfortable with it, because I think it gives me a better overall feeling than MacBook Pro.
Samsung Ativ Book 6, like many products, is also equipped with a very strong touch pad, which adds a lot of points. However, since it is made of plastic material, it may not be as easy to operate as a glass trackpad when you slide it with your fingers. In fact, this is also one of the biggest problems of Windows notebook, the original use of glass touch pad is very few, and for such a high-end notebook, users must be very high expectations of it.
In terms of device interface, the interface distribution of Samsung Ativ Book 6 is very scientific. On the left side of the fuselage you can see the Ethernet interface, VGA interface, HDMI interface, 2 USB3.0 sockets and headset microphone jack combinations. On the right side of the fuselage, you will see an SD expansion card slot, 2 USB2.0 sockets and a computer lock. You may also notice that the optical drive is not seen from this fuselage. Yes, that's a bit of a surprise to me.
All in all, although Ativ Book 6 is a 15-inch device, it looks more like a laptop with a full-size keyboard and a large touch pad with an atmosphere and an exquisite 17-inch display, from its exterior and overall sense. Although Samsung Ativ Book 6 is not the most portable machine, I believe that with its charm, it is enough for consumers to be tempted.
Software articles
Samsung Ativ Book 6 run 64-bit WINDOWS8 system, I believe that the system should be quite familiar with.
In addition, the machine pre-installed a series of applications for users. For example: S Player, S Gallery, S Camera and Sidesync, and it also allows you to connect directly to a Galaxy device to do a lot of what you need to do. such as transferring files, and even using the mouse keyboard to control your smartphone.
Other pre-installed software is also very useful, including Netflix (an online movie rental provider), Evernote (Impression note service), Kindle (E-book Reader) and StumbleUpon (browser plugin). In addition, the machine also pre-installed Norton Antivirus software, but if you do not want to use, you can uninstall it at any time.
Performance & Battery Piece
It is worth mentioning that this machine scored 10,100 points after testing the Samsung Ativ Book 6 by using the Geekbench (compatible multi-platform comprehensive test tool) benchmark tool. Because of this performance test, Samsung Ativ Book 6 has gone beyond Acer Aspire R7, HP Spectre XT TouchSmart, Samsung's own series 5 Ultratouch and Apple's 13-inch retina MacBook Pro.
Unfortunately, Ativ Book 6 is only equipped with an Intel HD 4000 image processor, but this configuration is no problem if it is only used to run some popular games. But in the face of Call of Duty and Battlefield (Ativ Book 6 's other configurations are your favorites and preferred, then you can choose to upgrade the graphics card to AMD Radeon HD 8770M, But of course you're going to have to get some extra money out of your purse.
The battery aspect is a Ativ book 6 weakness, but also not so knew. The worst case scenario is that the machine can reach the alarm level by about 4 hours of use. Running Netflix with a brightness setting of 75% will probably last 4 hours, when you'll find only 10% of the electricity. Obviously, this battery life is a bit extreme, but if it's just for routine day-to-day operation, the test shows that it can last for at least 6 hours.
Summary article
On the whole, Samsung Ativ Book 6 is a very ordinary notebook, but it has a lot of unique performance and has a delicate appearance. From the price point of view, 1100 dollars (about 6740 yuan) The price is very reasonable and competitive, I said, but equipped with Radeon graphics after the price. In addition, the full size of the keyboard, the atmosphere of the trackpad and the clear display should be able to provide users with a very perfect experience.
