Shocking 4999! The Great Wall E530 Notebook Evaluation Report

Summer is approaching: the 4999 war is at stake.

Friends who are very concerned about the notebook market are all very impressed by the term "5999 yuan notebook". Last year's summer holiday swept the price of all notebook manufacturers, so that people remembered the word "5999". "5999 yuan" became the hottest and most concerned word at that time.

The shocking price war last year not only made consumers aware that notebook computers could also be sold at such a low price, but also made many international brands pulled in, HP and DELL were the most obvious examples.

Whether these international brands are active or forced to follow up, at least we have an alternative brand.

A year has passed. This year, with the introduction of dual core technology, the middle and high-end market began to focus on the concept of noisy dual core, trying to get the maximum profit with the latest technology support.

In the low end market, the price leverage is still competing.

The take-off line of price war has dropped from 5999 yuan last year to 4999 yuan this year.

On the current trend, this year's 4999 war will not be inferior to last year's 5999 war. All of them have summed up the experience of last year. They all hope to fight to the last minute in the 4999 hand to hand fight this year.

Today, our small bear evaluation room introduces a the Great Wall E530 notebook to prepare for the 4999 war this year. Let's see what the low price notebook can bring to us.

If you usually pay more attention to the Great Wall notebooks, you will remember that at last time, the Great Wall had a 4999 notebook E520 to market, but because of the lack of effective measures such as publicity at that time, the market shipments did not achieve the desired results.

This year, the Great Wall again launched a strong attack, hoping that this E530 will open up the low end student market in one fell swoop and win the leading position in the first round of summer heating.

E530 uses the popular black and silver double collocation at present. It is simple and generous. There is no gilt coloring and line decoration.

The cover thickness of the whole machine is 36mm, slightly thicker, weighs 2.5 kg, and the weight is at medium level.

What is worth mentioning is that E530 uses an aluminum magnesium alloy bottom shell, and the E530 aluminum magnesium alloy shell helps the heat release at the bottom of the notebook computer.

This is relatively rare in the notebook at 5000 yuan price.

Thanks to the bottom of the aluminum magnesium alloy, the heat of E530 is relatively low. After nearly half an hour's test, it is only slightly hot at the bottom and outlet, and it can hardly feel too much heat on the front side.

The the Great Wall is equipped with a 14 inch high brightness Widescreen LCD for E530, with a resolution of 1280 x 768. In actual use, the evaluation staff think that the LCD performance is above the top level, the black screen leakage rate is acceptable, the contrast and color temperature are good, and the color performance is relatively full.

It should be said that at the price of 4999 yuan, the screen level of E530 is quite good.

In terms of interface, the design of the Great Wall E530 is relatively rich. PCMCIA, USB, IEEE1394, card reader, S-Video, RJ11, RJ45, VGA and other interfaces are designed on both sides of the fuselage, which is in line with people's daily habits and convenient for users to use everyday.

On the right side of the fuselage is USB2.0 interface, PCMCIA slot, 3 in one card reader, COMBO drive, power interface.

The number of interfaces on the left side of the fuselage is relatively small, with only RJ11, RJ45 interface and two USB2.0 interfaces.

The keyboard of E530 feels the key touch is moderate, the key stroke is shorter and the elasticity is better.

Because of the use of a metal base, no matter how hard the keyboard is pressed, it will not sag.

It is easy to see from the diagram that the direction key design of E530 is smaller than the ordinary direction key. This design is a bit awkward.

On the side of the arrow keys, there are two function keys, which can implement the previous and next steps in the browser's last page, next page and resource manager.

The Great Wall E530 touchpad is generally sensitive, not too flexible, and feels more general in hand.

The two buttons are of moderate size and feel better.

The whole touchpad is designed with a concave design, which is more beautiful, but there will inevitably be dust accumulation at the keypad.

In order to better sell in the summer, a few days ago, the E530 of the Great Wall has been upgraded in hardware configuration. The memory has been upgraded from the original 256M to 512M, while the hard disk capacity has been upgraded from 40G to 60G.

However, due to the fact that the activity has not yet started, the prototype has not changed in hardware configuration.

In terms of processor, the Great Wall E530 uses Intel CCY M processor 370, working frequency 1.5GHz, 1MB two level cache, 400MHz FSB.

The chip used is Intel 910GM chipset. Compared with the other 4999 notebooks, the VIA and SiS chips have more advantages in the performance, stability and power consumption control of the whole machine.

The performance of the chipset is much better than that of the Intel 852GM/855GM chip set.

Memory is 256M DDR2 memory. At present, the Great Wall has upgraded activities to upgrade the memory to 512M DDR2 free.

As can be seen from the graph, E530 has two memory slots, and users can add more memory to meet their needs.

The measuring capacity of the prototype is still 40G. As we have said before, the upgrade activity is being carried out at the Great Wall, and the capacity of hard disk will be increased from 40G to 60G.

E530 wireless network card slot, but because of the cost problem, there is no wireless network card.

Now we are going to do a lot of performance tests on the Great Wall E530 to see how the 4999 laptop works. At the same time, let's see what the 4999 yuan notebook can do for us.

1.PCmark04

In the PCmark04 test, the score of the Great Wall E530's final 2537 is basically satisfactory, and the overall performance is basically competent for the needs of the general users.

Of course, such a score is not upgrading the hardware, if the score is upgraded, there will be some improvement.
