Five best silent laptops. Experience using the ASUS ZenBook UX305FA ultrabook with a passive cooling system based on Intel Core M Passive cooling laptops

The company Asus was the first to introduce an ultrabook in the Ukrainian market, in which there is no fan in the housing. The model was named ZenBook UX305FA, and you can already read her overview on our website. This ultrabook is a precursor of a whole new generation of devices that will provide users with high performance with minimal heat generation, which, in turn, will allow creating very thin computers. I decided to take ZenBook UX305FA for experience in operation to see what the ultrabook is capable without a fan in the case.

The first thing you notice when looking at the ASUS ZenBook UX305FA is the thickness of the hull, which is a record 12.3 mm. The device looks very thin, and if you take it in your hand, this effect is even stronger.

Ultrabook weight reaches 1.2 kg, it is only 100 grams less than that MacBook Air.But the ZenBook UX305FA felt is much easier. The thickness is again affected, which, almost with the same weight, creates the illusion of a more light housing. When you wear a device in a bag or backpack, I always want to check, and whether it is there at all.

The touchpad in ZenBook UX305FA is also implemented better than in previous ultrabooks ASUS. It has become more accurate to monitor the movement of the finger and it is better to determine the touch. Support for gestures in it is also there, but in most cases they only interfere, therefore it is better to turn them off for productive work.

Returning to the thickness of the housing, it should also not be noted that ASUS managed to embed a good keyboard into the ultrabook. Its move is a little shorter than the company's previous models, but you quickly get used to it. The keys are well separated from each other, and the shooter block although not very large, but it is convenient to use. For three weeks I wrote a lot of texts using UX305FA, and the keyboard of the device never failed. The only thing that she lacks very much, as I wrote in a review, it is backlighting.

The use of anodized aluminum allowed ASUS to make the housing very durable, even despite the thickness of 12.3 mm. The display cover is not suggested and does not appear, it allows, for example, put a bag with a laptop to the office for manual laying of the aircraft and not be afraid that it will be crushed.

Good balancing of the body allows you to open the ultrabook with one hand

The ASUS ZenBook UX305FA body is well balanced, so it can be revealed by one hand, the lower part will not rise after the display. The maximum screen disclosure angle is not a record, it could well be more, but thanks to the high-quality matrix of the display, it is quite convenient to work with a ultrabook on the knees.

A small thickness of the case did not affect the presence of a variety of connections in ZenBook UX305FA. Using an ultrabook, I repeatedly mentally thank the ASUS engineers for the fact that they were able to accommodate three USB 3.0 ports in its case and SD format slot.

With all this, the connectors are well separated and do not interfere with each other. It is likely that if the UX305FA had one USB port, it would be used to get used to it. But when one connector is busy with a Bluetooth transmitter for the mouse, in the second stuck "flash drive", and the phone is charged from the third, this is not so obvious.

On the right face of the ZenBook UX305FA you can also find a Micro HDMI port, but because it is not much dispersed, instead of it on the case of the device I would like to see a more promising connector USB Type C.

Zenbook UX305FA uses a new Intel Core M processor

ASUS ZenBook UX305FA - not the first ultrabook with chip Intel Core M who fell into my hands, but the first in which the active cooling system is not used. This is achieved due to low heat dissipation intel processor Core m-5y71 with basic frequency 1.2 GHz, reaching 2.9 GHz in TURBO BOOST mode. Using a ultrabook without a fan inside creates a persistent association with a tablet, because inside UX305FA there are also no movable parts. Apparently, a little more - and the borders between these classes of devices will erase forever.

Intel Core M-5Y71 processor, complemented by 8 GB of RAM and Intel HD Graphics 5300 graphics, provides ASUS ZenBook UX305FA sufficient level of performance for most tasks. But it is impossible not to note that the resolution of 3200x1800 points is still affected at the speed of work. The device will not be a better option for video editing or work in Photoshop. Otherwise, since the ultrabook use, I did not come across any serious drawback of performance. Even on the contrary, UX305FA may surprise. For example, I was interested to try to run several games on the device, and so how to expect a ultrabook without a fan pulls the latest game hits, it would be stupid, then I put Civilization V, Tropico 3 and Heroes III HD Edition on him.

All three games started without problems in the resolution of 1600x900 points, the first two graphics settings were at the level below average, but the "heroes" looked just fine. It should be said that playing in Civilization V and Tropico 3 on ASUS ZenBook UX305FA is quite real, the graphics will not be impressed, but everything works.

Only once, playing in Tropico 3, I caught a glitch when the display driver stopped working, but he did not repeat anymore. As for heating, then after several hours of the game, the lower part of the ZenBook UX305FA body is significantly heated, but the ultrabook cannot be called hot. Falling performance that can be with a strong heating processor, I also did not notice.

In general, playing at UX305FA is quite real, at least in not very new games, and old hits will go on the device without problems. As for working with other programs, ZenBook UX305FA has no problems with these problems. Ultrabook performance with heads enough for office work, including large files Microsoft Excel.. Most often I used on UX305FA google browser Chrome, which, despite the voyage in terms of system resources, worked pretty quickly, and only occasionally appearing during scrolling web pages artifacts resembled a high resolution of the display. There were no problems with image editing in paint.net, as well as with batch processing of photos via Image Tuner. With the playback of Full HD video ASUS ZenBook UX305FA copes without problems, the VLC player fits well for its playback.

The UX305FA matte IPS display has excellent viewing angles.

The screen at ASUS ZenBook UX305FA is a 13.3-inch matte, with excellent viewing angles, and at the same time a good brightness margin that saves when working on the street. The resolution of the display at my version of UX305FA was as many as 3200x1800 points, which is very unusual as for a ultrabook, but allows it to form a very clear picture. Together with the IPS matrix, it, even with long work, gives a smaller eye load.

The resolution of 3200x1800 points in UX305FA imposes certain restrictions on the use of programs, especially if they have not been updated for a long time. The application interface that was not adapted to high permissions, looks very small on the Ultrabook screen, and they are almost impossible to use. This moment is worth considering, choosing a device model, because UX305FA also comes to the Ukrainian market with a FullHD screen.

Autonomy ASUS ZenBook UX305FA in my case ranged from 5 to 7 hours, depending on the load. Once I even managed to put it in 3.5 hours. But on average, the autonomy of this ultrabook will be about 6 hours, which does not reach up to 8 hours of a full-fledged working day. This is a fee for a very thin case. However, 6 hours will be enough to work outside the office. The benefit of the power adapter at UX305FA is very compact and occupies quite a bit.

As you can see the above text, ASUS Zenbook UX305FA left me the most pleasant impressions. This model based on Intel Core M processor has been released very compact, productive enough and equipped with good display. Lack of keyboard lighting and autonomy less than 8 hours can be safely written in omissions from the manufacturer, but even these minuses cannot block all the advantages of UX305FA. Thus, to summarize all of the above, it is worth adding that the future is definitely behind computers without an active cooling system. Already today, despite the smaller performance, they can cope with most user tasks, and ASUS Zenbook UX305FA is an excellent confirmation of this.

This review top 5 laptops of 2016 with a 17-inch screen diagonal will help you determine in the future selection of the model for everyday use or games. Work behind such a monitor is more comfortable, and games and video are more realistic.

Today we will talk about the cooling coasters for a laptop. This device will bring a lot of use to those people who love to work or play not behind a computer table, but sitting on the sofa or lying in a soft bed. But you need not to score that with such work, the laptop can overheat, it is especially true in the warm season, when the air temperature and the amount of dust increase dramatically.

Laptop VS PC

PC is very convenient for use at home, they are often cheaper and more powerful. But in modern life there comes a moment when you need to transfer for a laptop. The crazy rhythm of life makes it in the dynamics and all the time be in motion. Business trip, vacation, travel - a laptop is useful everywhere to work or play.

And here there is one big "but". In hot weather with a robot with a laptop there is one very a big problem - He is terribly overheated. Not only is on the street + 30, so also the laptop adds heat, all this is inconvenient and not comfortable, it is also very dangerous for health. My colleague wrote more about this Dr. Anatom In the review of its cooling stand. Overheating is dangerous not only for your health, but also for "health" of the laptop itself. From overheating, it may not burn, there must be a protection that turns it off, but if the laptop is constantly turned off, how to work behind it, or even more so play. Imagine that at the most inopportune moment the laptop got off, and you did not have time to keep the robot.

But do not panic. In today's review, we define the cause of the disease, learn to bring down the temperature to the patient and select faithful treatment, tested by time.

Why does the laptop overheating occur?

We hope that you will not bring your faithful assistant before overheating, but if suddenly, from where you do not ... You need to know what to do about it.

The first reason - dust. It clogs the ventilation system is extremely fast and tight. The air that should cool the entire system does not reach the destination and then everything overheats.

Dust - This is a chic thermal insulator, it snags, your processor and a video card, as in the bedspread and will be carefully warm. You can save and clean the laptop from dust at home. Just go to YouTube, find a model that you need, look at how to do it right and dare. Just be careful, and clearly follow the instructions of the masters, so that your desire to save does not turn into the purchase of a new laptop.

The second reason is an outdated thermal panel. You can also solve this problem at home, but it will have to come here much more than with the elimination of dust. The case is that there are connections between the main modules of the system and motherboard Lubricated thermocons. This is a special mixture that removes heat. Over time, it dries and loses its properties. If you replace it, everything will work as before. This kind of robots is better to hold the master in order not to harm the laptop at home.

Third reason - these are weak coolers. Even the coolest and powerful laptops are small, and low-power coolers. The bottom line is that a fan that is well cooled will be of this size that does not fit in the laptop, and another powerful fan is very very much the battery. In this situation, you can help the right solution - choose a cooling stand for a laptop.

How to choose a cooling for a laptop?

When choosing cooling, you need to consider eight important parameters. The most important thing is that most of them can be chosen for your taste.

• Type of cooling - Severe two options - active and passive cooling. If your laptop is not very hot or you just need a stand for convenient use, then passive cooling is suitable.

  If you say easier, put a laptop on a stand with holes, and thanks to natural ventilation it will cool. But if you have serious overheating problems, then the active type of cooling is needed, with a cooler.

• Number of fans - The fan is important for the active type of cooling, you need to carefully choose their number. The more fans, the worse for you. A model with one but large wind fruit will be much more efficient than a lot of small, and noise will be less.
• Noise level - Everyone probably has its own indicator. This characteristic is measured in decibels (dB). What it is less - the better. Today, thanks to competition, there is huge number Kullers, with noise indicators for every taste. True, there were models that are very annoying.
• Fan power - Detail that creates the same level of noise. The louder the fan, the more powerful. Each manufacturer tries to make this ratio in its own ideal. But only you ourselves must choose a model that will suit you.
• The size - Usually it corresponds to the size of your laptop. The same size may be more, less - no. There are stands where you can put a mouse, and put a cup of tea, and you can choose clearly on the form of your laptop.
• Weight - Depends on the type of cooling. Three types of cooling are distinguished, we will consider in more detail each of them later: stands, clock tables, floor installations. For support, the weight should be the most minimal, but the second and third option should be ideal in the ratio of resistance-lightness.
• Design - Maybe very diverse. Color, shape, materials - the choice depends on your flavors and preferences, as well as a wallet.
• Additional buns - Card reader, USB hub, speakers, backlight, speed controllers and much more. All these buns will help make your robot pleasant and more convenient.

Laptop today is a common and indispensable assistant of many. People acquire this technique as it is compact, mobile and no one is inferior to a stationary PC according to the characteristics.

Laptop can be easily worn on business meetings, use in school or work at home. But often, in many owners of this type of equipment, small "collaps" occur, which caused overheating, hanging and turning off the device. All this happens due to the fact that dust falls into the cooling system. What to avoid this, many use cooling coasters for laptops.

You can buy a cooling stand each, but when buying has a number of subtleties, which is still worth paying attention to. This article describes the information that concerns the criteria for choosing a laptop stand.

To date, there are two types of laptop supports on the market. These are supports with passive cooling, and with active cooling.

Passive cooled coasters

The main task of such support is that the material of the manufacture of the support housing, absorbed heat from the laptop. Such coasters are not equipped with fans, they are compact and mobile, thanks to this, such a stand can be transferred along with a laptop. The price, as a rule, is low, but the efficiency of this type of cooling is minimal.

Stands with active cooling

Stands with an active cooling type have several fan coolers in the design (mainly from one to four, but sometimes their quantity comes up to six). Thanks to such fans, blowing heat is much faster, and cooling in this case is more effective. But such supports are heavy, it is necessary for such devices. Nutrition is needed, and when working, the fan coolers create additional noise.

Selection of the required stand

Sometimes appearance, the number of coolers and other little things in the stand, when it is selected, is completely satisfied, but its size is significantly small in relation to the laptop used. Therefore, from such a choice, of course, it is worth refusing, because it is an important factor.

The size of the support for a laptop must necessarily coincide in size with the laptop used. If there is an opportunity, and most importantly, it is worth paying attention to options with the possibility of adjusting the size of the stand. Some models have additional consoles in the form of a mouse platform, as well as a glass or cup.

The number of fan coolers

A large number of coolers at the laptop cooling coiler are not always good, for example, when working with installed miniature four coolers, more noise will arise than from a stand with one large cooler.

Power ventilation

When choosing a stand, it is worth considering the power of the fan coolers, but this value significantly affects the noise level. The higher its power, the better, but the volume of work will be much higher.

There are some models with additional buns, one of which is the control of the speed of fans. That is, a support for a laptop, there is a regulator of the speed of fans, thanks to which you can increase or decrease the rotation of the coolers.

Noise level

An important indicator when choosing a stand is noise level. This indicator is measured in dB, see carefully specific characteristics when choosing a model or another, and pay attention to this value. The less this value is the better. The average noise level is 20-25 dB.

Weight stand

Not a particularly significant factor if your laptop with a stand is involved (installed) only in one place. If you are going to transport a stand with you, or choose an open table at all, then in this case the support of the support should be minimal, but about stability, in no case do not need to forget.

Stand case material

Basically, the layouts for laptops are made of plastic, or from plastic using metal decorative parts. In this case, the heat transfer in plastic is much lower than that of the supports made of metal. From metal supports for laptops - aluminum stands are common, this is the best option due to its ease.

Foodrests

Supports with active cooling type there are two power supplements. The first is to supply power through USB port Laptop, and the second is to supply power from the power supply, via the network 220V. Some laptops are equipped small quantity USB ports, in this case you will have to make up to buy a USB splitter to connect to the additional USB port. Some stand manufacturers have provided this problemAnd already in the case of their devices placed a USB splitter into several ports.

Design

An individual indicator that does not affect the functional qualities of the stand. The modern market produces cooling coasters of various shapes and color variations. Release models miscellaneous material Manufacturing, backlit and additional "comments". Is it worth paying attention to this? Then the case of a personal taste and choice, where every buyer will be able to pick up a stand for himself.

Additional features of supports

- Illuminated

The presence of LED backlight will only create a more attractive appearance of the stand. This factor does not affect functionality, and most likely will be interesting only to connoisseurs of design and luxurious species.

- Additional buns in the construction of the stand

When buying a support for a laptop, you can also take into account the presence of additional "buns" - it is often built-in USB splitters, but there are models in which the speakers, card readers and other additions are built. The data of the "buns" with its presence will be useful when operating the device.

- adjustment of inclination

Some stand models have the ability to adjust the level of inclination, it is very convenient additional featureSo how to work for a laptop that is under a slight bias, many times more convenient than the laptop that is at a right angle.

If we consider the more budget options of the support, then it is often in such models an angle of inclination fixed, or absent. And in more expensive models of the support, the ability to adjust the angle of inclination prevails. If it is not applicable, I advise you not to spend on this feature Extra money, and purchase a simplified stand model.

In this top of the best laptops of 2018 - my personal subjective rating of those models that today is on sale (or may soon appear), based to a greater extent on the combination of characteristics and studying our and English reviews of these models, owner reviews than on personal experience Use of each of them.

• Today it makes sense to buy laptops from the 8th generation of Intel processors (Kaby Lake R): their price is the same, and sometimes - lower than that of the processors similar from the 7th generation, while they became more productive more productive more productive (although they can warm more ).
• As of 2018, it is not necessary to acquire a laptop with less than 8 GB of RAM, unless we are talking about budget constraints and the cheapest models up to 25,000 rubles.
• If a laptop is purchased with discrete video cardwell, if it is a video card from a ruler NVIDIA GeForce. 10xx - they are noticeably more productive and more economical than the previous family of the video card, while at the price - parity.
• If you do not plan to play in recent games, engage in video and 3D modeling, discrete video, with a high probability you do not need - integrated Intel HD adapters are great for work, save the battery charge and wallet content.
• SSD or the ability to install it (excellent if there is a slot M.2 with PCI-E NVME support) - very well (speed, energy efficiency, smaller danger of blows and other physical influences).
• Well, if the laptop has a USB Type-C connector, even better if it is combined with Display Port, ideally - Thunderbolt on USB-C (but the last option can only be found on more expensive models). Soon, I am sure that this port will be much more in demand than now.
• If you are from those users who, after buying a laptop format a disk with licensed Windows 10, when choosing a laptop, look for: and there is no similar model, but without pre-installed OS (or with Linux) not to overpay for the installed license.

It seems that I haven't forgotten anything, I turn directly to good laptop models today.

Best laptops for any tasks

The following laptops are suitable for almost any task: whether it is working with high performance programs, a modern game (although the game laptop is still better) or something else. At the same time, all of them are equipped with a high-quality screen, have an excellent assembly and, if everything is smooth, will serve for a long time.

• Lenovo ThinkPad P52S.
• Dell XPS 15 9560
• Dell Precision 5520.

Dell has not yet updated his flagship laptops (still on the 7th generation of Intel processors), but Lenovo (remind, the report is subjective) the most attractive laptop seems for me ThinkPad P52S.

The laptop turned out to be compact and easy, with excellent screen, very lively battery, good quality assembly, and performance for working tasks. In Russia, several modifications are available at once at a price of 90 with small thousand rubles.

Specified Dell laptops can be equipped with different screens (including IGZO 38401260), up to 32 GB, Core i7 7700HQ and 7820HQ processors, Xeon E3-1505M (Dell Precision only), Core i5-7300HQ, various options for drives and installed operating system .

Among the advantages (if not talking about high performance):

• Weight - 2 kg for Dell XPS 15, 1.78 kg for Dell Precision 5520.
• USB-C with Thunderbolt 3.
• Very long battery work for 97WH battery models (in the tests "Wi-Fi" tests - more than 11 hours from the battery with Full HD screen and more than 8 hours with 4K display).
• Compared compact sizes compared to other 15-inch laptops due to the explosion display (at the same time one of the best in quality).
• Good cooling system, manufacturer quality.

The main differences of XPS 15 9560 and Precision 5520:

• The first is positioned as a consumer model of the upper segment, the second - as compact work station (for professional use, respectively, with a more extensive warranty).
• XPS 15 is equipped touch screen And weighs more (2 kg against 1.78 kg).
• XPS 15 has on board NVIDIA GTX 1050 4 GB (Pascal), Precision 5520 - NVIDIA Quadro M1200 (Maxwell). In the XPS 15 games will be noticeably better.

If we talk about other universal, very productive and high-quality laptops, you can mark ThinkPad T580 and T480, as well as new MacBook Pro. 15 (although the reviews on it and very controversial, and personally did not have to work).

Best Game Laptop

Among the quality gaming laptops this year, in general, an adequate price can be distinguished by various modifications or ASUS ROG GL503, MSI GE73 / GE63 or MSI GS73. All of them are available including with Intel Core i7 8750H processors, a bundle of SSD and HDD, a sufficient amount of RAM and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 and GTX 1070 video adapters.

You can also add more compact MSI GS65 more compact MSI GS65, but I'm not sure about their cooling, it is worth carefully reading reviews and reviews (however, it concerns all laptops).

Top Compact Laptops (Ultrabooks)

If you need a very compact, high-quality, with a long time of autonomous work and quite productive for most tasks (except for heavy games) laptop, I recommend paying attention to the following models:

• Dell XPS 13 9370 is an excellent screen, the epic battery life, very high quality.
• Dell Latitude 7490 - Corporate laptop, easy, reliable, 14-inch screen, Windows 10 Pro. You can also pay attention to the similar Latitude 5490 model, which will cost cheaper.
• ASUS ZenBook UX410UF - relatively inexpensive, metal housingProductive, available in different colors.
• Lenovo ThinkPad X1 CARBON 6th generation is one of the best quality and totality characteristics.
• Fujitsu Lifebook S938 - If you have a lot of money, you are looking for a replacement for the disappeared Sony Vaio Z, but MacBook does not fit you.
• Apple MacBook Pro 13 - If you plan to purchase something compact and productive from Apple.

Separately, allocate the best compact laptops with passive cooling (i.e. silent, without fans):

• Apple MacBook (12-inch).
• Dell XPS 13 9365
• Acer Spin 7.

Laptops - Workstations and Replacement Desktop

If in addition to performance (for example, enough and models listed in the first section of the review) you need upgrades (what about the SSD pair and one HDD or 64 GB RAM?), Connecting a significant number of peripherals to the most different interfaces, work with the dock Station, the best here, in my opinion, will be:

• Lenovo Thinkpad. P51 (15 inches) or P71 (17 inches). Here I will add the previously mentioned ThinkPad P52S.
• Dell Precision 7520 (15 inches) and 7720 (17 inches). There is a cheaper option - Dell Precision 3520, also decent, but first I recommend reading reviews, especially if your tasks are associated with high loads on the CPU / GPU.

Laptops for a certain amount

In this section, those laptops who personally would choose with a certain purchase budget (most of these laptops have several modifications, because the same model can be specified immediately in several sections, it is always referred to in mind to the specified price with the best characteristics) .

• Slightly for 60,000 rubles - Dell Latitude 5590, separate modifications of ThinkPad EDGE E580 and E480.
• Up to 50,000 rubles - Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E580 and E480, Lenovo V330 (in version with i5-8250U), Dell Vostro 5471, HP ProBook 440 and 450 G5, Dell Latitude 3590 - These models, if you do not plan to play. If you need both games, you can pay attention to Lenovo IdeaPad 520 15 and Acer Aspire. E 15 in modifications with 8250U and discrete graphics GeForce MX150 and MX130.
• Up to 40 thousand rubles - some models Lenovo. IDEAPAD 320 and 520 on i5-8250U, Dell Vostro 5370 and 5471 (separate modifications), HP ProBook 440 and 450 G5.
• Until 20,000 (the most difficult choice) - ASUS VIVOBOOK MAX X541NC, Acer Aspire ES1-732-P6WM.

Perhaps everything. I hope for someone such a review will be useful and will help with choosing and buying the next laptop.

Finally

If someone alone writes that he has defective pixels Around the entire screen, the laptop falls apart in front of his eyes, melts when working and everything hangs, and most of the others are all right with that, then, probably, negative feedback is not very objective.
