Powerful mobile workstation
Earth Terrans Force series of notebook have some friends know about the notebook overall performance quite amazing, and the door out of the same relative position of the Alienware alien laptop, using mobile hardware configuration is basically the top-level notebook level, especially in graphics cards is that other mainstream notebooks can not match.
Product line in the earth, there is a notebook configuration is unique, it is the Earth Terrans Force X7200, the reason that special, because it will desktop processors successfully transplanted to the notebook, but also equipped with a workstation-class professional graphics card, although the notebook is not designed for gamers, but its performance as a mobile workstation is a very good choice.
The Earth’s Terrans Force X7200 overall mold design and main game is not the same type of 17.3 inches, the machine as a desktop-class processor reference platform, so the significant increase in the thickness of the fuselage, the black square of the body stable and large, material is still using a common plastic, thick body with a surface without too much modification, making the machine looks kind of indestructible feeling.
We have recently seen several new Earth Terrans Force Notebook The most obvious feature is that cover all equipment, carefully crafted by forging division of pure metal LOGO, the LOGO on behalf of the earth hard-edged style characteristics, and its after for a long time carefully polished, and the entire production processes are non-toxic and pollution treatment means, making the surface to build up more with the original metallic luster.
Like other mainstream notebooks, the top of the screen frame is built a 300,000-pixel webcam, user-friendly and family friends for voice chat applications, In addition, the circular frame was placed on four weeks with a small pad strip used to effectively protect the screen surface from being scratched, while also reducing the heavy screen when opening and closing of the larger impact.
Keyboard and touchpad introduced a whole
Basically, the current Earth series notebooks are designed with a chocolate keyboard, although the style and pace of the machine configuration is not the same sturdy, but the feel is good, moderate and key from the key way to ensure a better user typing comfort, in addition, the driver with the most row of shortcut keys function keys for user convenience.
The Earth Terrans Force X7200 notebook’s power button is placed in the top right of the speaker, or the round button to create a very delicate, button surrounded by a metal ring for modification, texture, and the key head is also more large, when the host starts on the key will be issued after the green light, in low-light environments users can easily find the key position.
Earth Terrans Force X7200 uses a 17.3 inches large screen display, the best resolution of 1920 1080, high score screen display very delicate, and very reasonable screen brightness control, image processing for the professional level engineering staff is , large screen can get a better visual effect.
Just below the keyboard of the notebook’s touchpad area, you can see the edge of the touchpad to silver metal as a decorative light bar, the touch pad area is not considered very large, but the overall feeling of control is satisfactory, in addition, the location in the middle of the touch keys also arranged a fingerprint reader to enhance the security of the whole.
Body interface layout
The Earth Terrans Force X7200 considerable thickness of the body as a whole, the interface is relatively abundant species, the left side of the fuselage arrange some DVI video output port, the interface cable, RJ-45 Ethernet port, HDMI high definition output interface , 2 USB3.0 interface, eSATA high-speed data transfer port, 1394, multi-card reader slot and Blu-ray drive.
The right side of the interface is not a lot to arrange a set of audio input and output interfaces, 3 USB2.0 interface and notebook security slot, in addition to the middle of the fuselage rear power interface, not any interface design, replaced by a a large area of hot air exhaust holes.
In fact, we have from the appearance can tell, this notebook is not suitable for carrying out the mobile can even be said that has lost a giant notebook portability. By actual test, the whole weight of the battery with a 5.546kg, coupled with the huge head adapter weighs 7.363kg, the weight of this earth X7200 is our evaluation had a notebook in the most important.
The back of the fuselage structure
As a workstation-class notebook, machine stability and heat Compaq Presario 720 battery capacity is essential, and Earth Terrans Force X7200′s performance in these areas is still commendable, the first notebook with the rear of the cooling mode, Almost all of the rear fuselage space left thermal windows, the user is the long boot time using the palm side there will not be overheated and keyboard feel, but the front left and right ends of the fuselage were also arranged for a cold air into the air holes, so you can effectively turn the body into the cold air inside, then quickly discharged through the fan.
Earth Terrans Force X7200 eye design with suction, using a unique method of cooling and noise reduction, there are two in front of the cold air intake, with two large rear ventilation holes allow hot air heat and noise away from the user, You can get cold and quiet adapt to the environment, in a timely manner in the hot summer months can also use the machine stable operation.
Bottom of the fuselage based mainly auxiliary heat, placed side by side four central body heat exhaust vents. In addition, in order to better reflect the overall sound the host, the installation of the woofer’s voice makes the release of strong and vigorous, in addition, the foot pad with the mainstream notebook designs are different, not four huge circular pad can be a solid body, but also for body heat to stay out of the bottom of the well-ventilated space.
The aircraft were equipped with a lithium-ion battery 5300mAh 78.44Wh, for of such a mobile workstation-class notebook, and then a large battery capacity can not be maintained too long, high-performance hardware configured machine has decided to the battery life of the insignificant, so if you want this laptop to work longer, the only way is to carry huge adapter.
Conventional machine performance testing
In the hardware configuration, Earth DELL Vostro 1720 battery is equipped with 32nm process technology Intel Core i7 980X Extreme Edition six-core processor, equipped with Intel’s X58 chipset, equipped with high-capacity Hitachi 500GB 7200RPM hard drive, and 12GB DDR3 1600 speed memory. In the video, the model uses professional-level 1GB GDDR3 memory NVIDIA Quadro FX 3800M graphics card.
Intel Core i7-980X R & D, code-named Gulftown, using 32 nanometer process technology, with six cores and 12 threads through Hyper-Threading technology support simultaneously. Based on self-improvement as the Westmere microarchitecture Nehalem R & D, Intel Core i7-980X complete inherited Nehalem architecture Core i7 Turbo Boost Technology, Hyper-Threading technology, three-channel DDR3 memory controller and QPI bus, etc., the performance of mobile class processors can not match.
Basic information about the processor, we use this software CINEBENCH R10 to assess its performance, the software is capable of single-and multi-core processor performance score given intuitive, Fengyun Core i7 980X processor soon completion of all the test content, and ultimately its single-core to obtain 4992 points, six nuclear obtain 26362 points in the current desktop processor performance is quite outstanding.
The Earth Terrans Force X7200 together with a large capacity Hitachi 500GB 7200RPM hard drive, HD Tune we tested its performance. Screenshot from the test results, we see that the average transfer rate of this drive 78.6MB / s, the maximum transfer rate of 106.7MB / s, while the minimum transfer rate of 41.7MB / s, plus 17.3 ms access time , its overall performance quite satisfactory.
Summary
Appearance, this black earth Terrans Gateway S-7200 battery big man remains large rough design, and hardware in the machine configuration, desktop-class notebook carrying handle Extreme Edition i7 980X is extremely rare indeed, and mobile-level Core i7 processors than six Core processors in multi-threading performance to be much higher, enough to deal with complex scientific computing, and graphics cards, Nvidia Quardo FX3800M used more for professional graphics and video decoding applications.
