Tencent Digital (Zhou Shuo) Now that the fierce competition in the PC market you do not mention, and even the five major PC makers have a hard time. While Samsung, as a member of the PC market, has a relatively small share, the narrower product line also means that the ship is better. Samsung can use some of its outstanding designs for individual products instead of the five major manufacturers. Market share plays the necessary tactics of the sea. Samsung's NoteBook 9, which weighs only 840g this year, gave me a deep impression. Now they seem to want to engage in an article on the desktop PC category that Apple did not update for three years. So we launched the ArtPC that we see today. Pulse. Foreword: Since 2013, a few years after Apple introduced the “trash†Mac Pro, the market has almost never left me with a desktop host that has left a deep impression on product design. All the vendors have seen the fiery gaming PC market and swarmed with products that use cool and top-level configurations as selling points. However, they overlooked that another important segment of the PC market is also booming: design, editing, and later stages. This area of ​​expertise. At the just-concluded Microsoft and Apple conference, I think they have given all PC makers a lesson. Surface Studio and the new MacBook Pro give a new definition of the PC of this era from desktop PC and notebook dimensions, respectively. Didn't use the game computer, the one machine can be designed to be so beautiful and versatile? ! Afterwards, it is not as good as knowing one thing. It is clear that Samsung could launch this ArtPC Pulse in the same period this year and it is certainly a long-term brewing. "Three-body" modular design is very good ArtPC (literally: art computer), from the name you can understand, this product is not for the most mainstream consumers, it is a specialized product for professionals and art design industry practitioners. With most of the bubbles in Tualatin, always look at some of the ladder diagram, which processors each spray more powerful, which graphics card power consumption of different users, engage in design, engage in late, animation film and television production, Or called artists, many of them are not technical controllers. What they want is the result: good looking, easy to use. Let's take a look at the design of this product. I think this is the core point that this product can impress me the first time. Different from the fixed design of desktops in the past, this is a modular design product. The main structure of the fuselage is divided into three layers. It is said that the Chinese name of this product has not yet been set, I think it may be called Samsung split, Referred to as "three bodies." The bottom fuselage section is where the computer's core components are located. This section integrates the main hardware including the processor, memory, SSD, and discrete graphics. So it is also the only part of the three-body part that can be used completely independently, because it is itself a standard PC host. The middle part of the tri-body is a 1TB storage space, and the top part is the Harman Kardon's audio components. The three body parts are connected by rotating the male and female screw mouths and the middle contact point. Through the alignment, rotation and control of the fixed position latch, the user can easily connect and separate the three parts. They are hot-swappable, meaning they can be used in any combination at any time, any time, whenever you want to. The system recognizes them immediately, eliminating the need for more tedious steps. This point I think is an important factor in the "three-body" design is very practical and not just a gimmick fun. There is a clear gap between the bottom fuselage section and the middle segment design. The design of this gap is very clever. From the aesthetic point of view, if the three parts are rigidly stacked together, I don't think there is much aesthetics, and even I would think that there is a lack of sense of design. From a performance point of view, although the computer body is small and exquisite, but with i7-6700 (estimated product development did not catch up with the seventh generation Core) performance is completely comparable to the general PC, so the heat vent was designed in this position . In order to add a touch of embellishment, Samsung added a LED breathing light decoration to the center of this outlet. Speaking of this, I have to say more about this breathing light. If you simply understand the dark and bright breathing light then you are wrong. It provides a light pattern with a dynamic glow effect in addition to the ordinary monochromatic light atmosphere, a bit like the kind of change in the aurora of the Arctic skies, and the dynamics and diversity of the changes are simply... description. In addition, through the computer's own control center, you can adjust the LED's dynamic effects and smart notification function, you can use the ambient light notification function to know if there is new in the notification bar when the computer is sleeping or screen protection or off. news. It looks smart and fun, and it can be used at home or in the office. It has a sense of quality and atmosphere. Finally talk about the material, in order to highlight the sense of quality of the product, the main body of the three parts of the product are metal structures, the surface of the handle is very OK, very texture. Frosted chamfers are designed on all parts of the frame. The performance of the details can be said to be as good as a mobile phone in your hand. However, the cover of the modular male and female screw mouths is plastic, and after removal it occupies the place. If there is a more reasonable and better use, then it must be excellent. Then talk about the included mouse and keyboard set. The whole keyboard and keyboard gave me the feeling that the style is similar to that of the body. The chrome decoration on the top of the keyboard will make me debut to the shiny chrome on the Note series mobile phone stylus. It can be said that the product design keeps the mouse and the mouse in one continuous line. However, the point I want to make is that the work of the mouse and keyboard set definitely needs to be strengthened! Especially the mouse, the surface of the plastic technology than the company issued the office mouse is poor, completely realize it is a worthy million machine standard mouse. The mouse button has a serious virtual position. The feeling is that you click down and it will not trigger the fretting immediately. It is almost when you press down 1mm before you feel the micro-motion, and then continue to use force to barely trigger the micro-motion. , just use it will feel very laborious. The mouse is likely to be a foundry provided by another separate foundry. My feeling is that users who pay attention to quality will certainly mind because it is not worthy of the machine. It is hoped that Samsung will strictly control the quality and quality control of the mouse and keyboard set in subsequent products. Having said the structure and general characteristics of the "triple body", let's talk about the details of the product. You can understand and appreciate anyway Before I got this product, I heard about this product is that its interface is designed in front of the fuselage, only to see a picture of a product rendering me, half doubt. Is the design of the front of the interface so full of remnants really appear? Other media spray well reasoned? Until I received the real machine, open up and see "This is what the interface before the red, clearly behind the interface, ah, just to the conceptual design of the brand it!" I sincerely sigh. This product design is actually very interesting, I think the designer wants to do something on this product is to go to the concept of branding. The designer hopes that this product can provide a supremely concise beauty that even Logo designers feel is superfluous. Therefore, when designing products, the designer directly designs all the interfaces, logos, and buckles on the back of the camera so that when you use it at ordinary times, you will see an extremely simple desktop PC. I don't even say you don't see it at all as a PC. To achieve this goal, I think Samsung's designers will be happy. But according to the consumer's inertial thinking: The Logo side is positive, and the Harman Kardon and Samsung logos are stacked in the back, and it looks a bit like the front when not plugging in. It can only be said that this is a high degree of design, but not everyone appreciates it. Interface design: only one less DP In the design of the interface, the designer will design all the interfaces in the rectangular area at the back of the fuselage, including four USB3.0 interfaces, one 3.5mm audio interface, one RJ-45 network interface, and one lightning. 3 interfaces, 1 HDMI interface, 1 SD card slot and 1 power interface. For a desktop PC with such a small size, such an interface design is already powerful enough, and in particular, the addition of the Thunderbolt 3 interface provides users with the prerequisite for connecting to the future. The only regret, I think it is still missing a DP port that is commonly used at this stage. After all, it is more expensive to use lightning to switch, or whether the space factor is superior to the designers. Hardware design: can be called a small steel gun When I first saw this product, the subtext of my mind was that although the appearance of this product is good-looking, it has a sense of design, but the hardware inside is definitely a pit, and most DIY advanced players are certainly impossible to see. Slag configuration. I have to say that I must apologize for such preconceptions. In fact, by looking at all of its configuration tables, you will not have the feeling that it is a huge pit. Although this ArtPC Pulse machine size is relatively small, but built-in i7-6700 processor, 16GB memory, 256GB SSD+1TB HDD and AMD RX 460 DDR5 2GB alone significantly, hardware configuration does not seem to completely fall compared to some home hosts wind. To say that the hardware is a bit weaker than the home model is the video card, after all, only the RX 460 mid-range card. In order to actually feel the performance of this product, we also did some benchmark tests. The first choice is to run the processor on CINEBENCH R15, which is a recognized benchmark software. In this test, the single-core score of the consumer sub-flagship i7-6700, which is second only to the i7-6700K in the Skylake family, is reached. 171cb, multi-core score reached 816cb. This is even higher than the 791cb of the Xeon E3-1230v5 that I myself married last year. The performance of this processor is definitely a cannon level. Then use the AS SSD to test the standard Samsung 256GB SSD, the test results, the reading speed reached 1371.52MB/s, the write speed reached 1189.15MB/s, the total score has 2458 points, due to the interface type and It is not a faster PCI-E interface, and it is in the middle of the SSD in the current market. Then the graphics card, this machine is equipped with the AMD RX 460 alone, memory is DDDR5 2GB, relatively speaking, is a relatively mid-range card. After running about "GTA5", it can achieve 30-35 frames with 2K resolution. This game is very memory-intensive, and I was surprised that the 2GB memory capacity of the RX 460 didn't seem too ugly. With the rapid advancement of technology, mid-range cards can run so well. Here I want to say one problem, that is, many people have a misunderstanding that design software and post-processing software are very consuming video cards. Actually, actually, after some test reactions, at least 70%-80% of most design software, editing software, and post-production software needs to rely on the CPU instead of the GPU. The GPU is more responsible for accelerating the basic performance. character of. So although RX 460 can't compare with RX 480, GTX980, GTX 1080, it is actually more than sufficient to apply in design and special field. Summary: If it is not too expensive, I really want to buy To sum up, the feeling of this product after starting the evaluation is better than just seeing the advertising image. At first, I was only interested in the design concept and appearance of this product. I think it may just sell the appearance of the goods. But the actual experience, whether it is from product design, details of processing, the overall sense of quality, quite the heart of breathing lights and internal hardware, let me have a new understanding of it. Of course, I am a user who likes DIY. For me, this “three-body†price of 9999 yuan is still on the high side. If it is not for this reason, I really have a lot to do. However, in retrospect, many professional users and designers are very eager to pursue product quality and design sense. At the same time, they are not technical party hardware controllers. At the same time, their budget is not so cramped, so for this part of the user, this ArtPC Is a very good choice. With the value, design, and professionalism of the face value, what do you need? !
