Test: MSI GS40 6QE Phantom (sammanfattning)

Het prestandadvärg. Fyrkärnig Skylake, GTX 970M och en hyfsad 14-tumsskärm; MSI:s enhet i det ganska snäva segmentet för små bärbara speldatorer lever upp till alla prestandaförväntningar. Det kräver emellertid vissa kompromisser.

Display Response Times

ℹ
Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
   ↔    Response Time Black to White
23 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 5 ms rise
↘ 18 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 45 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (21.5 ms).
   ↔    Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
31 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 12 ms rise
↘ 19 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 35 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is similar to the average of all tested devices (33.7 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ
To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 17900 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

In review: MSI GS40 6QE Phantom. Test model courtesy of MSI Germany.

GS40 är en bra kompromiss mellan prestanda och kompakta dimensioner. Några nackdelar är ett resultat av själva konceptet, men går att leva med. Spelprestandan kan knappast kritiseras – GS40 klarar även riktigt krävande spel. Skärmen är imponerande, strömförbrukningen är rimlig och batteritiden är ganska bra.

Den låga vikten påverkar stabiliteten i chassit, som böjs ganska lätt under tryck (gäller även tangentbordet). Fläktarna har också svårt att avleda värmen och borde kanske köras i en jämn takt i stället för som nu, pulserande? Det skulle definitivt förbättra bullerutvecklingen.

Men det förändrar inte vårt goda helhetsintryck av GS40. Det finns inte många 14-tumsalternativ på marknaden, åtminstone inte om du vill ha Skylake-CPU, DDR4-RAM och USB 3.1. Det är visserligen något som kan förändras snabbt (ett test av Schenker XMG P406 kommer snart), men just nu står valet mellan mindre kraftfulla system, eller en större och tyngre 15- eller 17-tummare.
