Pre-annotation -- A story of alienware

As a doctor of IT who teaches mentors every day in Smecta, we must always forget the gratitude of the mentor (Stikmus Syndrome). However, the school’s budget was limited (servers could not be approved at all), and in order to be able to simulate and revise papers from time to time, a removable desktop became my main notebook appeal. 15 years of the new version of Alienware15 has instantly conquered my heart. At that time, the United States and the United States have promotions and promotions in Japan, Japan is 970m graphics card can be upgraded to 980m graphics card free of charge, the United States is playing 7 fold. Considering Japanese purchases also consider the issue of customs duties and the exchange of US dollar yen, so orders are made directly on Dell’s official website in the United States. Dell's official website links are as follows:

Alienware 15 Inch Gaming Laptop with 7th Gen Intel Core | Dell United States Direct Link

However, after buying it, I gradually realized that high-performance gaming laptops are really unmanageable. At the same time, the hot calorific value and the use of a fragile battery (the battery was used three times to hang, sweat) without charging the power supply made me feel tired.

Before - thinkpad can't afford to hurt

Two years later, after repeatedly applying with the tutor several times, he finally got 8000 oceans (1,400,000 won) notebook purchase funds. I thought that with this amount of money, I could go to Smecta 3C shopping mall, but I was too silly and naive. Due to the limited procurement of educational institutions, I can only purchase a very limited number of computers in designated institutions. After layer screening, thinkpad X1 carbon 2nd generation became the most suitable choice.

Lenovo 2nd Gen ThinkPad X1 Carbon 14" HD+ Laptop Computer, Intel Dual Core i7-4600U CPU up to 3.3GHz, 8GB RAM, 240GB SSD, HDMI, 802.11ac, Bluetooth, Windows 10 Professional (Certified Refurbished) $689 US Amazon Direct Link

However, the X1 carbon 2nd generation's own flaws and lack of service in Korea have caused this purchase to become a nightmare. After an anxious week of waiting, I finally got a parcel loaded with computers. After seeing the computer's package intact, my mood relaxed. But after pressing the switch, the computer fan went into silence after two seconds of light turning. Repeatedly press the switch several times without any reaction. Calling sales, said to be l to get certified lenovo official repair shop to return. However, there are only two Lenovo repair sites in South Korea. So I sat for an hour and ran away from the nearest Seoul lenovo maintenance point to receive a bad computer certification. Repackaged returned to the computer and waited a week to get a second X1 carbon 2nd generation. However, the second was still well packaged, but only the touch bar lit after the switch was pressed, and the notebook still could not enter the BIOS. So can only run again to lenovo repair station certification returns. Then another week, I got the third X1 carbon 2nd generation. Unfortunately, X1 carbon still cannot light up. After these three torments, I also fell in love with Lenovo.

Text--My notebook9 purchase experience

The price of electronic products in South Korea is much higher than that in China. Leaving all of Lenovo's notebooks open, Dell's XPS 13 can sell 10,000 yuan in South Korea. After all, I can only choose Samsung's notebook9 or LG's gram. The gram is actually my primary goal because of its thinness, but I refer to the SMZDM post.

I have some scruples about LG's rigorous workmanship and gram's fragile plastic body. Thus, notebook9 became my last choice. Notebook9 has a few special attractions for me: 1. Display is a good show for Samsung, notebook9's 15-inch 1080p screen fully meet my office needs, 2. 256GB SSD storage space compared to other brands entry-level 128GB No small increase, can hold my complicated office software, 3. Samsung claims notebook9 notebook keyboard after a certain optimization, has a good feel of the key, 4. Select the latest intel i5-7200, although the performance is weak, but the battery life Satisfactory 8 hours, 5. Korean version notebook9 does not deserve windows, disguised to improve the cost, 6. Samsung service points in South Korea more, even if it does not have to repair long-distance raid to Seoul. In the end, I got the notebook type, so I got out of the box today. Apart from anything else, let’s start a box:

The box to get a hand is very large, giving a product box is also a huge illusion.

The laptop is wrapped tightly. This time is no time without touch.

Samsung's packaging is very simple. I still do not understand the obvious 15 inch notebook, why the name is 9. Above the box is the tool out of the box Leatherman Rev Multi-tool. I do not understand the utility knife, there is a Swiss army knife and Leatherman, feel Or Swiss army knife is better to take care of it.


After opening the package, the computer lay quietly, and the power supply was placed on the right side. Pull off the film, open the computer, press the key, the system automatically enters FreeDOS.

The intuitive feel of the computer is that the screen border is very narrow. Although not as good as Dell's XPS or thinkpad X1 carbon 2017, I was surprised to see it for the first time. The screen should be made directly from Samsung, and the black screen gives a very dark feeling. After the installation of windows in the later period, the expressiveness of color also made me very satisfied. The silver coating of the notebook also gave me a concise feeling, but also equipped with a large touch screen, but also closely follow the trend of notebook development.

Next is a recent photo of the keyboard. The Korean version of the keyboard is the same as the US version, which is more Korean characters. The keystroke of the keyboard is very good, and the percussion is very comfortable. The personal feel is similar to the macbook air 13. There are many user-friendly shortcuts on the keyboard, such as touch pad, Fn lock, and information screen.

postscript

After three months of use, I still found a computer problem. The first is that the 15-inch model keyboard does not have a backlight, followed by the performance of Samsung's original SSD, which is basically tied to the pass-through of SATA SSD, and finally the design that the computer does not take care of. Although most of the fuselage is made of magnesium alloy, it is not known for what purpose Samsung chose to use plastic at the shaft. Several times the normal opening and closing notebook turned the shaft into a crack. The temporary solution now is to stick it with 502 glue.

At this point, my debuting debut report officially ended. Thank you for watching. Although the Sino-Korean relations have deteriorated because of the Sadr incident, I think these are the problems of government decision-making. In the two or three years I lived in Korea, my direct experience was that Korea and China had many cultural commonalities, and Koreans were also very hospitable. I sincerely hope that the relationship between the two countries can be normalized as soon as possible.
