Test: Gigabyte Aero 15X v8 (i7-8750H, GTX 1070 Max-Q, Full-HD) Laptop (Sammanfattning)

Nu med sex kärnor. Nu när Intels nya Coffee Lake-arkitektur har släppts så uppgraderar tillverkarna sina existerande modeller. Gigabytes nya Aero 15X v8 ärver föregångarens tunna infattning, men lägger till en 144 Hz-panel och en sexkärnig processor.

Display Response Times

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
11.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 6 ms rise
↘ 5.2 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. » 25 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
16.8 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 8.4 ms rise
↘ 8.4 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 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 25 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

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 18071 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

När det kommer till tunna toppskikts-laptops av hög kvalitet så ligger Gigabyte Aero 15 och Asus GM501 precis bredvid varandra i täten. Dom har båda sina unika styrkor och svagheter.

Medans ROG Zephyrus M erbjuder relativt bra ljud och - trots en starkare GPU - lägre temperatur och ljudnivå så imponerade Gigabyte-modellen med bättre inmatning, fler anslutningar och mycket längre batteritid. Den tunna skärminramningen och den färg-exakta panelen får den också att stå ut från mängden.

Men Gigabyte behöver få ljudnivån under kontroll. För tillfället så är nya Aero 15X ganska ljudlig vid 3D-belastning, vilket kan stoppa ljudkänsliga användare från att köpa den. Intels sexkärniga chip pressar kylsystemet till sin gräns mycket snabbare och oftare än föregångarens fyrakärniga CPU.
