There is a constant rule in the digital circle. “Playing digitally requires the latest, and the configuration will never be saturated.”

This sentence was originally used to say that mobile phone performance will never be saturated. After all, today’s mobile phones are not only communication tools, but also take into account the role of portable productivity tools. The latest technology can double the efficiency of work.

But now, this sentence also applies to the various product areas of the digital circle, such as the laptop we use every day.

HP recently updated the third generation of the Battle 66 series, which continues to take the light, high-performance business line and continues to be a selling point for SME entrepreneurs’ reliable productivity tools.

Based on the previous generation products, HP updated the 10th generation Core processor for the 66 generations, improved the fuselage protection performance, and added the lens cover and keyboard backlight for business users.

In the past few days, this computer has become my office tool for working every day. As an old user of this series, maybe I can share my experience with you through this experience.

Lightweight body, more business considerations

Compared with the previous generation, the fuselage of the 66th generation has not changed much. It is also the A-side and mirror-polished HP logo made of high-strength silver aluminum alloy. The two processes are in sharp contrast on this panel.

Because of the large number of aluminum alloy designs on the A and C sides of the fuselage, the 66th generation of the war 66 can still maintain the lightweight design of the series logo, and the weight of the whole machine will continue to be controlled at 1.6 kg and 18 mm. thickness.

As a person who doesn’t leave the computer every day, I have always had great interest in lightweight productivity tools. The mobile phone can be mastered by one hand. The charging treasure is only as big as a palm, and the computer can be carried with me. I think this is a mobile office. The best configuration.

So can the 66 generations meet my needs? Absolutely, this volume and weight can be put in the canvas bag that I usually go to work. This is also the place where the Battle 66 series has impressed me the most in the past and today.

The light and thin body gives me the “extra benefit” every time I go out – the space saved can put more equipment.

In my Hadley Pro for my business trip, I can put a 66-generation notebook, an A7M3 camera, a 24-105mm lens, and I can put more than 35mm in the extra space. The lens, a Switch and an iPad Mini.

If I have a flat code, I can also use the match 66 and the black card M5. At this time, I can even take the camera bag without it.

The B-screen continues to use a narrow bezel design. The size of our evaluation is a 14-inch screen. The screen is an anti-glare matte screen with a resolution of 1080P.

Like its predecessors, the computer is available with a 72% NTSC high color gamut panel that displays a maximum brightness of 400 nits.

In this update, HP added a lens patch to the third generation. The slide can block/expose the camera. The biggest function of this block is to prevent hackers from stealing commercial privacy through the camera.

In fact, even in daily life, this block can protect the privacy of users. Don’t think that this is a superfluous addition to the painting. You can see that Zuckerberg has sealed the camera with a sticker and even blocked the microphone.

The hinges at the bottom of the screen still support up to 180 degrees of expansion, making it easy to share screen content at meetings, as well as providing a more flexible working posture for sedentary typing.

For example, when I edited this article, I expanded the screen to 120 degrees, and I made the face and screen look flat after the waist.

Because of the “excellent tradition” of the series, the third generation of the war 66 is quite comprehensive in terms of interface configuration.

In addition to a USB 2.0 interface, security keyhole, and SD card reader on the left side, two USB 3.0 ports, 3.5mm headphone jack, RJ-45 network cable port, HDMI1.4, and The USB Type-C interface for machine charging and video output support, the computer can support up to two 4K picture output, which can cover most of the current business expansion requirements.

War 66 The third generation still uses an island keyboard, and the feedback of the button rebound is obvious.

On this basis, HP added backlighting to the keyboard and can make 3 levels of adjustment. So now I can continue to work in the airplane cabin at 9 o’clock in the evening. I don’t have to reach out and turn on the light to illuminate the colleague who is sleeping next to me.

Of course, in addition to working in the dark cabin, we can also relax with a movie.

War 66 The third generation continues the series’ long-lasting durability, and this time its military protection rating has increased to 19 US Department of Defense MIL-STD-810G standards.

So in this generation of products, we can still see that it still has a fairly solid body, a splash-proof keyboard and a drop-proof hard drive protection mechanism.

Some details about the body

After taking 15 minutes to dismantle the D side, we can probably understand how the computer is made to prevent falling and trampling while being thin:

First of all, the C-face of the computer body is stamped and formed from a single piece of aluminum alloy. The entire alloy panel extends to the edge of the D-face, without a sense of stitching, and the overall texture is outstanding.

The benefits of this panel-integrated design are that it minimizes the weight of each side of the computer and has a higher structural strength when dropped or stepped on.

Secondly, we can also see the reinforcement process of the parts inside the fuselage, and we can see that the hard disk part is protected.Shock sponge wrapped.

It is reported that HP uses “soft and hard” (drop detection + sponge shockproof) in the hard disk part. The internal parts of the computer are also reinforced with four corners. Even if the main board is deformed, the chip will not fall off easily.

But this computer is completely unpacked, and I am not willing to smash it.

The 10th generation of Core, can “Wen” can also “Wu”

The battle of our evaluation 66 The third generation is equipped with Intel’s 10th generation Core processor, model i5-10210U, which is a notebook processor product that is currently used by manufacturers.

Specific to the extent of the upgrade, according to Intel’s official data, the overall performance of the 10th generation processor is 16% higher than the previous generation, and multi-tasking capacity is increased by 40%.

This computer is also equipped with the MX250 alone, the memory is 2GB of “full blood version”, and has 3.5 times performance improvement compared with the previous generation.

Graphics and video processing can reflect the overall strength of the computer. In the test, I used Adobe Premiere Pro to render and export a 5-minute 4K resolution (H.265) video: it took 10 minutes and 25 seconds.

Exporting 100 images in Adobe LightRoomIn the test, it took 8 minutes and 29 seconds. It should be noted that the test sample is a 6000 x 4000 resolution ARW format, compressed to 2000 x 1333 resolution JPG format.

In addition to processor performance, this computer is equipped with 8GB of storage and 512GB of storage. However, the expansion slot is reserved inside the computer, which can expand the dual-disk solution of 32GB DDR4 dual memory and SSD+HDD.

So even if the performance of the standard is not enough, the user can upgrade the computer by himself.

Although the third generation of the war 66 is not a hard-core gaming computer itself, but based on this configuration, it can also be used for entertainment tasks in the leisure time. On a business trip, watch a high-definition movie, come to the game in two games, it also Can handle it;

Another example is the connection to the monitor at home. It is an entertainment console.

In addition to the game, the computer running “Watching Pioneer”, “League of Legends”, “Raid 4” games can run smoothly, the problem is not big.

The last detail that has to be mentioned in terms of configuration is that the 66th generation has a dual antenna design and supports the latest WiFi-6 network technology.

In short, WiFi-6 is about 5G in the current mobile network. Under the WiFi-6 routing hotspot, the wireless network speed of the computer is nearly 3 times higher than that of the previous generation communication technology, and the throughput is improved by nearly 4 times. Improve the uplink and downlink transmission performance of the computer.

In terms of battery life, I tested in two dimensions, one is the total battery life, and the other is fast charging time. In order to simulate daily use, this time I did not use the running sub-tool to test, through the use of one day to get the most realistic life:

In the highest performance mode, the computer lasts for 8 hours and 23 minutes. During the period, I’ve been using Chrome’s 5 windows to write, check data, play 1 hour of video, and use the splash to retouch for 30 minutes, with a 50% screen brightness.

In terms of charging, the third generation of the battle 66 is equipped with a 65W charger. The charger consists of two parts. The cable of the USB-C interface part is composed of fiber woven fabric, which adds cable. Flex durability and softness.

In the charging test, I used a 65W standard charger to charge the computer. In standby mode, the computer can take 1 hour and 37 minutes from 10%-100%, and can increase from 10% to 50 in 30 minutes. %.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to charging the computer, the charger can also quickly charge the Switch, iPad Pro and other mobile phones, and the charger body also provides a USB output port.

However, compared to the charger’s features, it’s smaller than the iPhone 11 Pro Max.

Reliable productivity tools are the first step in efficient output

As the saying goes, “If you want to do something good, you must first sharpen your tools.” Just as carpenters pay attention to carving tools and photographers’ pursuit of shooting tools, as a productivity tool for exporting knowledge and acquiring knowledge, a “all things” The productivity tool is like a smart phone with excellent signal and battery life. Everyday is a mobile workbench with reliable output at key moments.

In general, the rock-solid quality is the hallmark of the War 66 series. This update has raised the reliability of this computer to another new level, although you may not believe this is only 1.6 kg. The computer can slam and slam, but it turns out that it does, and can provide you with a 14-inch workbench at any time.

In terms of experience, the upgraded battle 66 is more friendly, and the details of the backlit keyboard and camera cover make the computer more suitable for the positioning of professional business notebooks. The tenth generation of Core processor, WiFi-6, 65W fast charge, these real configuration upgrades, also allows the computer to cope with various tasks.

At the end of the day, HP continues to offer a 2-year battery warranty, a 1-year on-site repair, a 2-year personal limited warranty, a 7 x 24 hour cloud online service, and a 1-year warranty for the Wars series. Damage free insuranceRepair (including: water, electric shock, drop, squeeze), can also be upgraded to a 3-year machine and home repair service, to protect the efficient mobile office.
