In practical use, a DSLR (Digital Single Lens Reflex Camera) can be connected to the monitor via Type-C or Micro HDMI, synchronizing the viewfinder to the monitor. For outdoor use, a power bank can supply power to the VP16-OLED. With my many years of experience shooting with DSLR cameras, one of the most inconvenient aspects of outdoor shooting is relying on the small LCD screen to preview shots. This makes it difficult to accurately evaluate brightness, color, and focus in real-time, often forcing me to wait until I return to my computer to check the content thoroughly. If the results are unsatisfactory, I may need to reshoot the scene, which is time-consuming. However, using the VP16-OLED, you can immediately check the shooting results on-site, which is incredibly convenient and saves a lot of time. Additionally, you can use the shading hood whenever needed to reduce the interference of external light. When the shading hood is removed, you can clearly see that there is much more ambient light present on top of the screen compared to the previous photo. When connecting to a laptop or phone via USB Type-C, the device must output at least 10W. If it doesn’t, you’ll need a power adapter for the VP16-OLED. The business laptop shown in this photo can power the VP16-OLED, allowing the monitor to reach its maximum brightness of 100. Using dual screens may slightly increase battery consumption, but under normal brightness settings, it’s not very power-intensive. With ECO mode technology, the VP16-OLED's power consumption drops to just 6W. When editing photos on the go, the VP16-OLED can be used in portrait mode, making it more convenient than a laptop screen and allowing for complete display of the photos. This is especially helpful in the afternoon when indoor lighting is mainly influenced by external sunlight. In the same scene, when the sun goes down and the light source changes to a dim indoor yellow light bulb, the VP16-OLED, which is Pantone Validated and has a Delta E< 2, ensures reliable color accuracy. Additionally, the VP16-OLED is perfectly compatible with Mac devices, offering USB-C for audio and video data transfer, fast charging, and support for the 100% DCI-P3 color gamut, similar to the Apple Retina display. Connecting the VP16-OLED to a phone is a very convenient option, letting you mirror phone content to a larger screen. With common screen mirroring functions, you can easily view photos, videos, and web pages. In practical use, I found that if you use a phone that supports DeX (Desktop eXperience) functionality, the VP16-OLED becomes even more convenient. Its screen can transform into a tablet or PC interface, while the connected phone screen functions as a touchpad, providing users with a richer operational experience. When using the phone as the power source, the default brightness is set to 15%. The OLED panel’s high brightness makes this sufficient for indoor use. However, the phone's smaller battery capacity means it will drain faster than when connected to a laptop. If you use a power adapter, the Type-C interface on the monitor can simultaneously charge your laptop or phone. Finally, compared to the IPS(In-Plane Switching) panel laptop on hand, the OLED panel has become the preferred choice for high-end displays in recent years, boasting deeper contrast, higher brightness, a wider color range, and faster response times. A few years ago, a friend mentioned getting a high-end OLED TV and being very impressed with its black-level performance. I have a similar feeling after using the VP16-OLED. For instance, this Spider-Man photo was taken at the entrance of a cinema and the VP16-OLED performs better than the laptop in terms of color accuracy and black-level performance. While the photos of the screen taken with a camera have been captured to be as close as possible to what the naked eye sees, slight differences in appearance may occur on each of your monitors. Adjusting both screens to similar brightness levels and using the Windows taskbar as a standard for comparison, the lantern festival photo appears slightly brighter on the OLED screen. If the laptop screen is set to its highest brightness level, the VP16-OLED only needs to be set to 55-60% brightness to match the laptop's brightness level. OLED, an organic light-emitting diode display technology, features pixels with individual dimming areas. This allows the area where images are displayed to illuminate while other areas remain completely black, eliminating blurry light effects. In this photo taken at a past lantern festival, you can clearly see the higher saturation of the OLED panel. The absence of any halo effect makes the picture appear more outstanding. When viewed in person, the naked eye can easily perceive these differences, especially the deeper black levels within the photo. To summarize the features of the ColorPro VP16-OLED: it uses an OLED panel that supports 1.07 billion colors. It has an integrated stand design, provides rich OSD options, is pre-calibrated at the factory, and is Pantone Validated with Delta E < 2 for accurate colors. It supports 100% DCI-P3 and sRGB wide color gamut, delivering precise and professional color levels, pure black colors, and a halo-free visual experience. The magnetic shading hood, which also serves as a protective cover, is highly practical. In terms of connectivity, the device has a built-in Micro HDMI and two Type-C interfaces, with the Type-C supporting 40W reverse charging. Additionally, it offers a comprehensive 5-year warranty service. I remember passing by the TV display section in large stores multiple times, where a whole row of large OLED TV screens always left a deep impression with their stunning image quality. During the period of using the VP16-OLED portable monitor, I experienced its meticulous design and versatile applications. Designed specifically for color accuracy, the ColorPro VP16-OLED not only provides excellent color performance but also offers great flexibility and convenience for outdoor shooting and creation, along with good visual comfort. For image creators who frequently work outdoors and need a high-standard color-accurate monitor that is both multifunctional and portable, the ViewSonic VP16-OLED is one of the few options on the market that meets all these criteria and is definitely worth considering.

The third tilt option allows users to choose from several viewing angles. By adjusting the stand, the monitor can be switched to a vertical mode. When rotating the screen, the display orientation needs to be manually changed in the system settings. The primary function of the magnetic shading hood is to prevent ambient light from interfering with the screen's colors. Additionally, there is a tripod mounting hole at the bottom, making it more convenient and flexible to use. The shading hood can also serve as a protective cover for the screen surface when not in use. OSD Menu Screen Capture: When capturing the screen with a digital camera, moiré patterns may appear; however, the screen appears normal to the naked eye. The Startup Menu includes options for the Main Menu, Color Mode, ViewMode, Brightness, Input, and Volume. The Main Menu starts with the input switching function. Next is the Color Mode page, which offers DCI-P3, sRGB, REC709, DICOM-SIM, and User settings. Within the DCI-P3 settings, you can adjust Brightness, Color Temperature, Gamma, Sharpness, Aspect Ratio, and Recall. The ViewMode offers modes such as CAD/CAM, Video Edit, Animation, Photographer, FPS1, FPS2, RTS, and MOBA. These modes can be selected based on your specific environment. Internal details can be fine-tuned as needed. For example, the Video Editing mode has Ultra Clear, Advanced-Sharpness, and Advanced-Gamma options. The Setup Menu options include Language Select, Resolution Notice, Information, OSD Timeout, OSD Background, OSD Pivot, Power Indicator, Auto Power Off, Sleep, ECO Mode, Overscan, Burn-in Eraser, DDC/CI, Rename, and All Recall. ECO mode on the VP16-OLED offers four settings—Standard, Optimize, Conserve, and Energy Saving—along with a status bar for quick insights into the current configuration. Moreover, the burn-in reduction feature is especially useful. As with other ColorPro desktop monitors, the VP16-OLED comes with a rich set of OSD options, giving users greater control over color adjustments.

The stand features an integrated bracket design with three tilt options, enabling easy angle and height adjustments for more versatile screen positioning. The stand is constructed with a dual-hinge bracket. The first tilt option is a standing support that meets ergonomic standards, allowing the screen to tilt forward/backward up to -60º / 20º. The second tilt option allows the stand to be adjusted into a triangular foldable bracket.

Perhaps because of the more exciting evolution of new products in the computer field in the past two years, and the hot topics related to AI, many brands did not invite as many ShowGirls to embellish the venue as before. Every time I attend COMPUTEX, I share photos of the Show Girls at the exhibition hall. So, without further ado, here are a few. Please scroll down with your mouse. In addition, this year’s Youtube videos are highly recommended to be watched. Adding dynamically shot clips will make them much more vivid than photos. This year's COMPUTEX is probably the most bustling I've ever attended. The three major tech giants are standing alongside their partner companies, launching signature new products that have sparked another wave of excitement at the venue. Additionally, there are many new products being exhibited for the first time or set to be released in the latter half of the year. In addition, many brands are showcasing a variety of AI server models, extending the trend from last year to now. At the venue, numerous computers are seen utilizing AI software in conjunction with hardware, including applications in healthcare and photo selection, among others. COMPUTEX 2024 is showcasing AI as a subtitle for the first time, highlighting its immense market potential with high creativity and application scope for the future. We look forward to seeing even more efficient and advanced AI technology applications next year. Here's what windwithme saw in the form of photos and text during the two-day visit to COMPUTEX.

The exhibition videos and article photos each have many different scenes and take a lot of time to produce. Please support by subscribing. I remember that the first time I visited the COMPUTEX venue was in 2004. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than 20 years. During this period, there have been tremendous changes in technology related to the computer industry. COMPUTEX Taipei has witnessed the evolution of new products over these years. Last year, NVIDIA sparked an AI craze at COMPUTEX, leading to an even greater surge in AI topics this year. Many brands have tried their best to connect their new products with AI. In addition, this year's keynote speeches include three major technology giants, NVIDIA, AMD, and INTEL, who have come to Taiwan one after another, and their lineup and content are richer and more exciting than before. This year, due to a busier schedule post-COMPUTEX, this article is shared later than usual. It includes more photos to enrich the content. Due to time constraints this year, I only attended the Intel KEYNOTE, personally hosted by CEO Pat Gelsinger. The keynote centered around "Bringing AI Everywhere," with a notable increase in visibility for AI-related server products at this year's exhibition. The event emphasized Intel XEON's market advantages. The speech also displayed AI PCs equipped with Intel platforms from major cooperative brands this year. Then we went to Intel Booth, where the main new chips were on display, and the new AI PC laptops were used in many aspects. The DELL XPS series is still a laptop that I really admire. GIGABYTE AORUS 15 Intel exhibited six next-generation motherboards from its cooperative brands. Although the chipset code was not marked, quite a few news online revealed that the model number is Z890...XD Since there are many brands and new products in the Nangang Exhibition Hall, the visiting time and sharing space are limited. The following sharing is for those who are personally interested or have introduced their new products during the visit. First up is GIGABYTE & AORUS. A variety of Intel's next-generation motherboards are on display, all with M.2 and PCIe EZ-Latch Plus quick-detach designs, and the magnetic antenna holes have been changed to more convenient plug-in types to simplify the installation process.

The Setup Menu has three pages in total, with options for Language Select, Adaptive Sync, Resolution Notice, PureXP, Information, OSD Timeout, OSD Background, OSD Pivot, Power Indicator, Auto Power Off, Sleep, Multi-Picture, ECO Mode, Overscan, Response Time, USB Charging, Backstage Lighting, Burn-in Eraser, DDC/CI, Rename, and All Recall. The backlight on the rear of the monitor can be set to white, yellow, and warm white in Backstage Lighting. This is the first time I’ve seen a Burn-in Eraser function, too. The comprehensive OSD, together with the two exclusive software packages and integrated calibrator, provide rich options and a high degree of freedom in adjusting color. HDR technology has become increasingly widespread in recent years, and whether or not a monitor supports it will be reflected in the price. When enabled, the details of an image’s blacks and bright areas are displayed to the full, enriching the colors. Whether to use HDR or not is one more advanced option to have when enjoying games or video that support it. HDR video is not easily compared, so I’m using a game to compare the differences—HDR off: HDR set to Standard: Options for Standard, HDR_M (medium), and HDR_H (high) can be chosen from the OSD. I should note that image quality has deteriorated a little in each case after using a camera to photograph the screen. Actual picture quality ought to be judged with one’s own eyes. Turning on HDR does indeed improve the picture. The VP2776’s Type-C port is very convenient, and can be used with notebooks and mobile devices that support video output. After installation, the monitor displays the device output and provides a charging capacity of up to 90W, effectively saving space by reducing the number of chargers on your desktop. Install ColorPro Integrate and you can use the calibrator wheel to control supported third-party software, including Photoshop, Premiere, and Capture One. This feature is currently only available on Mac; I look forward to seeing it become available for Windows and for even more software to be supported. The removable hood can be attached quickly to make a darkroom and prevent ambient light from interfering with the monitor color. I started using a calibrator some years ago. I couldn’t help myself calibrating any monitor or notebook that would come into my hands before using it. Owing to differences in the types and specifications of different panels, there’d still be slight discrepancies in color after calibration, but this was always an improvement over no calibration at all. Beyond the VP2776’s color precision, it makes for comfortable viewing and reduces the burden on your eyes, as compared with the calibrated VA and IPS monitors I have to hand. A summary of the VP2776’s features: the leading ColorPro model, with a top-quality and fabulous-looking multifunctional stand and base, and exclusive color calibration reporting validated by Pantone. It boasts precise and professional color at Delta E < 2, Delta Lv < 5%, and DCI-P3 95%. The Nano IPS panel is G-Sync Compatible, with a 165Hz refresh rate, HDR 400 technology, and inbuilt HDMI, DP, and multifunctional Type-C ports, of which Type-C supports a charging capacity of up to 90W. It has a brand-new OSD interface, two exclusive software packages with rich capabilities, and integrated support for its color calibrator. I’ve been writing and sharing my reviews on the net since before 2001, and editing photos has been part of my daily life for ten years now. When I was starting out, I looked for cameras that could give me quality images and colors and chose monitors with high-end panels, expecting that they would display satisfactory product photos. In the process, I minimized the variables that lead to color casts, shortening time spent in the edit and getting the photos I wanted even faster. It was only when I first used a color calibrator all those years ago that I understood that, besides the importance of camera color and the quality of the monitor panel, the monitor’s color accuracy is the last crucial factor in the pursuit of precise color. During my time using the VP2776, I could feel the considerable work that’s been put into integrating hardware with software. The high-end calibrator and magnetic hood included with it are unique and practical features. Together with its high Mac compatibility and less commonly seen Nano IPS panel, the VP2776 is built for color, with a top-tier design both inside and out. With Pantone Validated color calibration straight from the factory, a top-notch calibrator, high-spec hardware, and rich software capabilities, if you’re a creative working in video and with high standards for color accuracy over prolonged use, then the VP2776 will be a good choice to meet your needs, and is well worth considering.

History details previous color calibration profiles for comparison or application. Basic Mode shows the info below. Luminance and calibration can be adjusted and saved to a particular profile at the lower right. Color gamuts for sRGB, DCI-P3, photography, web Design, and printing_AdobeRGB can be calibrated on the left-hand side. Select an option to begin color calibration. After testing out a few color profiles, the time taken to switch between them was quite fast. Calibrations were completed in about 1m 20s, after which corresponding reports were generated. The report’s Summary, Gamma, and Delta E tabs detail the color gamut and related info. The Delta E page presents the data recorded in the form of a bar graph. The VP2776 displays true-to-life colors at Delta E < 2, and has a Delta Lv < 5% standard that emphasizes professional color with greater precision. A photograph of the OSD menu: Moiré patterns usually appear when LCD screens are photographed with digital cameras, although the monitor display appears normally to the naked eye. Quick Mode features options for Main Menu, Color Mode, ViewMode, Brightness, Input, and Volume. The curved line on the left indicates that the menu may be navigated by rotating the calibrator wheel. Color Mode has options for DCI-P3, sRGB, REC709, DICOM-SIM, User, CAL 1 to 3, and HDR. DCI-P3 provides options for Brightness, Color Temperature, Gamma, Sharpness, Aspect Ratio, Uniformity, and Recall. Calibration profiles are stored in the CAL modes. The time at which a profile was created is recorded, along with a useful calculation of how long it has been in use. Reminders can be set at specified intervals to maintain accurate color calibration—the first time I’ve seen such a meticulous design detail. Using the calibrator wheel, profiles can be produced, imported into the OSD, and renamed. ViewMode brings up options for CAD/CAM, Video Edit, Animation, Photographer, FPS1, FPS2, RTS, and MOBA modes. Select an environment, and detailed options appear for fine-tuning according to your needs. For example, Photographer mode has settings for Contrast, Brightness, Ultra Clear, Advanced-Sharpness, and Advanced-Gamma.

The base is designed to lie close against the table. There are no bumps or bulges, so objects can conveniently be placed on top of it. At the bottom left is the Pantone certification, as well as indications for the many awards the unit has won, including a 2021 iF Design Award, a 2021 Good Design Award, and a 2021 Wallpaper Award. The metallic build lends the base weight and good stability. The monitor weighs about 8.4kg altogether, and the simple design of the VP2776 gives it a high-quality feeling. How it looks with the calibrator and magnetic hood covering installed. There are two main software packages included. First, vDisplay Manager: the left-side menu options are Color Mode, Color Blindness, PBP/PIP, Basic, and Advanced. In Color Mode, the Standard Color menu provides four color standards to choose from. The Color Blindness menu brings up Color Filter and Simulation. The latter is mainly for simulating and confirming whether your work can be seen clearly by viewers with color vision deficiency. Users with color vision deficiency can use the Color Filter function to see the screen more clearly. Picture-in-picture, picture-by-picture, and split screen modes can be found on the PBP/PIP page. The Basic page brings up common options like Color, Image, Audio, and Input. Input Select can be used to choose a desired port or to switch ports automatically, which is very useful when frequently cutting between screens. vDisplay Manager’s inbuilt OSD is multifunctional and more convenient than the joystick control on the rear of the unit. Since the color calibrator can be used to control the OSD, after some familiarization it will basically become your go-to interface. The Advanced page shows information and options for resetting defaults and rotating the display. When the screen is pivoted to a portrait orientation, the Auto Pivot function will rotate the display accordingly. English and Japanese language options are available, hopefully with more to be added in future. The other software included is Colorbration+, the main uses of which concern hardware color calibration, information about the color gamut, and calibration profiles. Together with its high-end ColorPro Wheel calibrator, the VP2776 display can maintain consistent and accurate color for long durations. Options for Basic and Advanced Mode are shown upon startup. Advanced Mode is shown below. The Calibration page displays ICC profile settings. Optimal compatibility will be found when using a Mac: DCI-P3 95% is the same color gamut as Apple’s Retina display, while the ICC Bridge ensures that ICC profiles are matched with the display’s colors and utilizes Mac’s ColorSync to keep colors consistent. The Verification page quickly verifies and reports on chosen color profiles.

Years ago, a friend lent me his Spyder color calibrator. After a long time using it for color correction, I came to realize that a great deal of mid- to high-end monitors and notebooks have color deviations, regardless of panel quality or price point. Soon after that, I bought a Spyder for my own monitor color needs. As I remember, only EIZO were advertising monitors with factory-calibrated color accuracy back then, but they were more expensive for the same size. In recent years, the electronics market has seen premium notebooks aimed at creatives and advertising Pantone Validated calibration out of the factory, and there are high-end desktop monitors with factory-certified color calibration for consumers with strict color requirements, too. ViewSonic are veterans in the monitor market, having released products in value, office, e-sports, and creative ranges. An older generation of gamers might remember their VP Series, but perhaps only for the distinctive company logo featuring three Gouldian finches. The focus of this article is their leading ColorPro VP2776 professional monitor. The VP2776 screen is frameless on three sides, giving it a straightforward appearance and enlarging its appearance, while the panel uses LG’s Nano IPS technology. IPS monitors are pricier and less common in the current market, and Nano IPS panels come embedded with an extra layer of backlighting nanoparticles for a wider and brighter color gamut. The 27-inch screen has an anti-glare 3H hard coating and 2560x1440 resolution, commonly known as 2K or Quad HD. With a 165Hz refresh rate, it’s G-Sync Compatible and possesses VESA-certified HDR 400, a DCI-P3 95% color gamut, and 400cd/m² luminance. Equipped with flicker-free and anti-blue light technology, it effectively reduces eyestrain during extended periods of use. There is a groove along the edges for attaching a magnetic hood. Accessories include a 3-pin power plug (IEC C13/CEE22), DisplayPort cable (v1.4), USB Type-C cable, USB A/B cable (v3.2), and a quick start manual. Two more accessories included with the VP2776 are rather more special, and this is the first time I’ve seen them included with a high-end professional monitor: a ColorPro color calibrator, and a portable magnetic hood with what can be said to be a professional design. Every calibration report for the VP series details the panel’s DCI-P3, sRGB, REC709, and Uniformity values. Users can input their product serial number on the official ViewSonic website to download a bespoke color calibration report. The ColorPro calibrator comes with a protective cover and appears to have a single lens. Having used a Spyder for more than ten years, I have to say the ColorPro has a genuinely attractive appearance, and unlike other high-end calibrators, software supporting the ColorPro Wheel can immediately make use of its click and spin functionality. Looking at the rear of the VP2776, the ViewSonic logo appears at the top, with an illuminating light beneath. The center bracket can be removed to reveal 100 x 100mm holes, convenient for VESA-supported wall mountings. Two 3W loudspeaker holes are located at the bottom left and right. There’s a Kensington lock at the bottom right, and cooling vents are found along the top, left, and right edges. At the lower left of the rear are a blue-lit power button and a joystick for the OSD. The ports on the back of the unit include, from left to right: power source, 2x HDMI v2.0, Display Port v1.4, USB Type-C, a 3.5mm audio jack, USB Type-B, USB Type-C (5V/3A), 2x USB Type A, and a Micro USB. USB Type-C can be used to mirror/extend the displays connected, transfer data, and charge devices. Whereas when using HDMI or DisplayPort to transfer audiovisuals, USB Type-B can be connected for data transfer. Personally, I think the design and functionality of a stand and base are very important for creative professionals. As is commonly seen with top-tier monitors, the VP2776’s stand is multifunctional, with a wide scope for making adjustments. There are five markings on the center of the stand for making graduated adjustments, and holes underneath for neatly managing and arranging cables. The stand is approximately 130mm tall. It swivels across roughly 120°, pivots 90° clockwise and counterclockwise, and has angles of elevation and depression of 21° and -3°, respectively.

Tom Clancy's The Division 2: 1920 x 1080 3D effect set to highest, built-in speed test score - 4798 PLAYERUNKNOWN’S BATTLEGROUNDS: 1920 x 1080 3D effect set to highest, start character in lobby, - 120 FPS Although the RTX 2060 is higher-level product and comes with ray tracing as well as DLSS technology, it’s not commonly used for gaming. Basically, there isn’t a huge gap between the performances of the GTX 1660 Ti and the RTX 2060 in most 3D games. After a few tests, we can see solid performance by the GTX 1660 Ti at 1080P resolution in-game. If the laptop model you want to buy together with a GTX 1660 Ti differs too much in price from the RTX 2060, The GTX 1660 Ti is a good choice for a mid-range graphics card that combines 3D performance and affordability. Now dissemble D side to have a look at the internal layout. There are 12 screws in the back, with 4 screws in the battery area. Self-disassembly might affect your warranty, so if you want to upgrade your hardware you should send it to the original factory. It comes with the latest WINDFORCE cooling technology: 2 of 47-blade fans with four heat pipes elevate the total cooling efficiency to 150W. The 4 sets of outlet vents on the two sides and the back of C side, with large intake vents above the keyboard and on the back. One 2.5 inch SATA device on the bottom left side of D side, with GPU fan situated above. On the bottom right side we have two SO-DIMM DDR4 slots, with this model using SAMSUNG DDR4. Capacity is at 8GBX2 with clock speed DDR4 2666, although Intel 10th gen supports up to DDR4 2933. On the top right is the CPU fan, with the slot for detachable batteries situated above. On the bottom right, two M.2 SSD slots plus another for 2.5 inch SATA, a maximum of 3 installable storage devices. On the bottom left and right are two 2W speakers. Processed the i7-10750H extreme cooling test at a room temperature of 31 degrees: While running LinX 0.7.1 at full speed, the temperature was 70~79˚C, with a maximum sudden peak at 100˚C. AORUS 5 has good cooling capacity, so we’re using LinX, an Intel platform with a heavy load in burn-ins. During burn-ins, the i7-10750H mostly stays at a clock rate of 4.2G when display showed under 50W. If the power’s increased up to 55~68W, the clock would usually be at 2.99G. Fan speed is at 2200rpm while idling and 4800rpm when CPU is at full speed. In most circumstances, the CPU usage would be lower than those above, with correspondingly low temperature and fan speed. Furmark is mainly for extreme burn-in tests for the GPU GTX 1660Ti: GPU 1485MHz / MEME 6000MHz, Running FurMark gets us a 46˚C while idling and 82˚C at full speed. Since it’s summer with around a 10˚C increase in room temperature, there’s a corresponding increase in temperature recorded in burn-in tests. During burn-ins with FurMark, the upper area of the keyboard is around 38~45˚C, the left and right hand side vents at 38~48˚C. Back vents at 34~55˚C, D side vents at 32~43˚C, with vents on the right-hand side of the back having slightly higher temperatures. Equipped with the latest WINDFORCE cooling system, it’s satisfactory with regards to both CPU and GPU cooling. You will not hear much noise during low-loading situations like idling, doing office work or web surfing, fan speed was low. During high-loading situations like gaming, the fan speed goes up, but the noise is around mid- to low-frequency and doesn’t make you feel uncomfortable with overall noise. As for battery life, we set our battery option to “balanced” in the Windows 10 power settings, with battery options set to “power-saving”: To simulate a practical and power-intensive situation, we play videos on YouTube at 1080P with screen brightness of 20%. After an hour, battery is at 78%, 55% after 2 hours, 42% after 3 and 9% after 4. We estimate that with automatic shutdown at 5%, the battery lasts to 4 hours and 8 minutes – It’s acceptable battery life performance. To summarize the AORUS 5 SB(i7-10750H/GTX 1660Ti 6G) Features and advantages: 1.A rare Made-in-Taiwan laptop, with many parts from big brand or high-level manufacturers. 2.The WINDFORCE cooling system provides excellent cooling for both CPU and GPU. 3.The webcam got high quality compared to other laptops I have seen in the last couple of years. 4.Unique detachable battery with a small adaptor, which increases portability. 5.Keyboard keys with all-zone RGB backlight with 15 colors and a precise touchpad. 6.Uses SAMSUNG DDR4 2666 DRAM, a high level and more compatible RAM. 7.AORUS Gaming Center software and the Nahimic 3D audio software were both good. 8.Specifications that are good for gaming, with 144Hz refresh rate, 72% NTSC color gamut and ultra-thin bezels on three sides. 9.Relatively exceptional audio quality in the mid-level or affordable laptop market. 10.When combined with GTX 1660Ti graphics card, can output on three screens at once, with 1+3 displays simultaneously at maximum. Parts of improvements in the future: 1.A side’s smooth surface makes fingerprints more obvious. Overall quality could enhanced if anti-glare texture is used on the two sides of C side. 2.Internal components are from reputable brands, so the laptop comes at a slightly higher price compared to competitors of the same level. 3.Battery capacity is a bit smaller, would prefer the battery life more than 5 hours. 4.Intel 10th gen’s DDR4 2666 and 2933 differ very little in bandwidth, but 2933 is better for maximum clock rate. Performance Rating ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 85/100 Material Rating ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 86/100 Specification Rating ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 85/100 ID design Rating ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 82/100 Cost Performance Rating ★★★★★★★★☆☆ 85/100 This article’s new AORUS 5 models all come with an Intel Core i7-10750H, but recommended a version that uses dual AMD platform in the future. The three models differ in their levels of GPU, with GTX 1650Ti, GTX 1660Ti and RX 2060 respectively. Compared to other brands of gaming laptops on the market with i7-10750H and GTX 1660Ti, AORUS 5 is a little bit pricier. Since it used better components such as 144Hz & NTSC 72% display, Samsung DDR4 dual channel RAM, and Intel AX200 Wi-Fi 6 wireless chipset, its more costly in comparison. The low-key design of A side is a minus, I hope GIGABYTE can upgraded it to a non-smooth surface in the future to raise its overall appeal. In all other respects, AORUS 5 was above the level in its price range and uses higher-tier component parts. Excellent cooling capacity, webcam with high resolution and good speaker quality – it’s pretty much an affordable laptop with well-rounded overall performance. Above is the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of AORUS 5. Please visit my Facebook if you like “windwithme” review article and want to receive more updates.

However, since a laptop has more power-saving technologies built in that cannot be manually turned off, it’s hard to reach the highest bandwidth in the original specifications. In comparison, higher level SSDs still perform better even after discounting for the laptop. Now it’s time for the 3D performance test – the SB model is equipped with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660Ti DDR6 6GB, with data from other gaming laptops using the RTX 2060 in parentheses as comparison. 3DMARK Time Spy => 5957 (6031) VRMARK=> 7738 UNIGINE 2: 1080P MEDIUM => 11114 (11465) FINAL FANTASY XIV: Shadowbringers: 1920 X 1080 HIGH=> 15014 (15442) FAR CRY 5: Resolution 1920 x 1080, set 3D effect to very high Built in benchmark tool – rendering frames 4903 (5088) opening theme – 74 FFPS
