ThinkPad (think of this) is a brand of portable computers created under the IBM PC Division and enjoys a high reputation in the industry for its robust and reliable features. Lenovo acquired Lenovo in 2005 and the ThinkPad brand is owned by Lenovo. ThinkPad has always maintained a black classic appearance since its inception and has its own unique insights on technology, such as: TrackPoint (pointing stick, commonly known as Little Red Riding Hood), ThinkLight keyboard lights, full-size keyboard and APS (Active Protection System, Active Protection System).

ThinkPad is already very familiar to everyone, this evaluation is Lenovo's latest ThinkPad Black S5 laptop, in the ThinkPad in the black S series is based on "both business and entertainment," the main cost-effective laptop can meet the game at the same time The needs of high performance and stability, but also has a classic business office appearance, to meet the two needs of the game and office two scenarios of products.

This brings the evaluation is a silver version of the ThinkPad Black S5, configuration performance: seventh-generation Kabylake Intel® CoreTM i5-7300HQ 2.5G processor, pre-installed Window 10 operating system, screen size 15.6 inches, physical resolution 1920x1080 , Screen type IPS FHD LED backlit display, 500GB mechanical hard drive + 128GB solid state hard drive, 4GB memory, 720p HD camera, multi touchpad Trackpoint pointing stick.

The packaging uses a primary color reinforced carton, the side is the configuration parameters of the notebook, the internal use of a buffer grid fixed support notebook to prevent bumps during transit.

A full set of accessories: power adapter, power cord, manual & warranty card. The accessories are very simple, and the manual is also a brief introduction to the use of some special function keys and precautions of the notebook.

The new notebook is a security seal, to prevent the second Kaifeng refurbishment, seals stick very tight, want to open one side without loss of open is no way, can only be torn open.

This ThinkPad Black S5 is a silver version, and the surrounding chamfers are rounded. A side uses silver metal anodized aluminum paint, B and C sides are black and gray fiber reinforced composite plastic, D side is a silver spray paint in line with plastic. In the traditional A surface with a classic red dot ThinkPad LOGO, the red dot will be lit when the power is on, on the diagonal is the Lenovo's LOGO, alloy roll cage with aluminum alloy A surface, comprehensive protection notebook The A side is not easily damaged by external pressure.

ThinkPad Black S5 D surface can be seen using a large number of grid cooling holes, because there is no built-in optical drive, so the left and right sides are made out of the wind vents, circular large-diameter non-slip cushion pads make the heat dissipation doubled.

Left side, from left to right: Power interface, power indicator, standard HDMI interface, RJ45 network cable interface, USB 3.0 interface (support shutdown for peripheral charging), 3.5mm headphone jack.

Left side, right to left: anti-theft lock hole, 4 in 1 card reader, 2 USB 3.0 ports.

Sunken shaft design, the maximum screen angle can be opened to 135 °, when you open the maximum angle screen, it will not appear top-heeled tilt the lower half of the notebook

B side uses a 15.6 inch LED backlight matte screen, resolution 1920x1080, not a narrow frame design, about 1.5cm left and right borders, about 2.2cm upper and lower border, integrated a 720p camera (does not support 3D real sense).

The C-side is the ThinkPad classic design: multi-touch pad, TrackPoint pointing stick, etc., and is equipped with a full-size keyboard, convenient for people who are accustomed to using the keypad.

For me, I usually use the custom mechanical keyboard, and suddenly there will be some differences in the feel of this keyboard. Each keycap has a radian treatment, so that the finger touch will feel better, long typing. It will not be so tired.

The middle of the C side is the integrated speaker, the upper right corner is the power switch, the first time you need to connect the power adapter to activate the boot, if not activated can not boot directly.

The unique multi-touch pad and red dot have become the exclusive standard for the ThinkPad. In the lower right corner of the C face, it is the LOGO. When the power is turned on, the red dot will light up.

[Disassemble upgrade - ThinkPad Black S5]

After removing the 3 screws on the D side, you can open the back cover and you can see the upgrade slot. The rear cover adds a buffer sponge pad to prevent the hard disk from working when the hard disk is working. The black S5 is a combination of two hard disks. The M.2 solid state is mainly the system C drive, and the mechanical drive is used for the D drive. The main 3 parts can be upgraded: DDR4 memory and M.2 solid state drive, 2.5-inch mechanical hard drive.

The black S5 is powered by a built-in battery, and the Panasonic-made polymer battery has a voltage of 11.1V and a capacity of 47Wh and 4280mAh.

There is a memory slot on the motherboard to add its own memory, maximum support 32GB, support for DDR4 2400MHz memory, many people think that the computer's own memory is onboard memory, in fact, is not, just in the back cover part of the same memory slot inserted , all need to be disassembled to see.

My black S5 is equipped with Western Digital's 7200 rpm / 32m cache high-speed black disk, the material enough, the general notebook is 5400 rpm blue disk more, with black disk blessing, play games will be Even more refreshing, if the funds are sufficient, it can be replaced with a 2.5 SSD as a warehouse disk.

Now many notebook computers have adopted M.2 SSDs, which not only can be reduced in size, but also run and read faster than 2.5-inch SSDs. The S5 is equipped with the SanDisk X400 M.2 2280 enterprise-class SSD. , Open the heat shield plate can be seen there are two thermal pads in the above, indicating that the M.2 SSD in the work of the heat is indeed not small, if you want to replace the M.2 SSD selection when you need to pay attention can not choose to bring their own cooling Hard disk, otherwise it will be beyond the space to install.

[With features - ThinkPad Black S5]

The first time I mentioned that the first time you need to turn on the power, you need to turn on the power to turn it on. After some simple settings, you can run it normally.

The integrated functions of the Black Legend S5's built-in Lenovo Setup Center are very practical. For example, the setting status of the battery power can be set according to individual needs, and it can also be used for proofreading the loss of battery capacity. Notebooks are set up with the help of tools.

Keyboard settings can be quickly set FN + F1 ~ F12, especially FN + Q is to achieve quiet mode and performance mode switch, dual mode switch can freely switch work or entertainment, very convenient, especially the use of dual-graphics notebook In the work mode, it can achieve a high degree of energy-saving efficiency, and play the biggest performance alone in the entertainment mode. Red Hat (Trackpoint pointing stick) and FN / CTRL key swap and other functional requirements and other settings.

Black S5 is built-in Dolby DOLBY sound, but if you use the speaker to listen to, the sound effect is not great, it is best to connect the headphones to switch the sound, then you can hear different effects.

Active Protection System This function is ThinkPad's black technology. It is somewhat similar to the airbag cushioning function. This function can help protect the hard disk from the autonomous functional components that are damaged by strong physical vibrations and vibrations. It continuously monitors the movement of the ThinkPad computer and it suspends the hard disk when it is predicted that there is a crash or similar event that may cause damage. If the mechanical hard disk in the computer is not replaced with a solid state, this function is strongly recommended to open, so that the mechanical hard disk damage rate can be reduced as much as possible, and if it is replaced with a solid state hard disk, this function is useless.

In the heart of the stone, he confronted a brutal leader of the bandits and uncovered the secret of blood and blood in the beautiful Towson region of blood and wine.

The Witcher 3 is a very large killer game. The assessment of the hardware is very demanding, and they each have 4 qualities: high, high, medium, and low.

Extremely high: 30 frames;

High: 45 to 50 frames;

After running several game tests, the black S5 can basically know the running performance of the game. Basically it does not have any problems in dealing with medium-to-large-sized games. If you are running a very large game, you can only reduce the quality of the game to satisfy the game. Smooth running, if the full effect is fully open, it is very easy to play.

[Insufficient places - ThinkPad Black S5]

Look carefully at the headset jack where there is some prominent, it is because of curved surface caused by the surface, in fact, this problem can be avoided, but the headset jack needs to customize the arced edge, then you can absolutely fit the arc There is no space left.

On the right side of the USB port, the distance between the two ports is designed to be relatively close, so the more slender U disk like Zhang figure is considered relatively reluctant to insert at the same time, if you encounter a relatively wide card reader or U disk, you can only insert 1 USB device.

The screen also has light leakage, especially in the upper part of the rotating shaft, the two parts of the upper part of the light leakage are relatively high, not all black screen observation is not difficult to find, but for playing some European and American types of horror games, the game is basically 85 % of the dim space, it is inevitable that light leakage will affect the game mood.

【Experience Summary - ThinkPad Black S5】

ThinkPad Black from the overall appearance of the S5 to the control part of the full-size keyboard and then to Little Red Riding Hood, completely retained all the elements of the Think brand, but also added elements of entertainment performance makes the previous more rigid "Business Fan" ThinkPad more With "Civil and military" double-sided. If you simply look at the price, it may not have much advantages compared to those cost-effective notebooks, but from the perspective of its workmanship and business office, it is worthy of the ThinkPad label, and overall it is very good, but there are still some imperfections, such as Workmanship like headphone port, spacing between USB interfaces, etc. Like my article remember to pay attention to me oh next time share my life original to everyone.
