Lenovo Saver R720 Reviews

[PConline stand-alone evaluation] In the past 2016, for the entire notebook market, there are challenges and opportunities. Thanks to the rapid development of the e-sports industry, the game has attracted attention from manufacturers and players alike. In particular, after the launch of the Nvidia GTX 10 Series new card, the performance between the desktop and mobile graphics cards was further brought closer. This provided a strong support for the game in terms of performance, and it also took more or less VR. A promising development express train.

Lenovo Saver R720 (i7/8G/1T+256G/GTX1050Ti 2G Memory) Reference Price: Loading... Image Reviews Quote Parameter Overview

For now, the overall price is still high on the GTX 1060 and above graphics cards. The recent arrival of the GTX 1050/1050Ti will undoubtedly provide us with a greater choice of space. The various manufacturers of this game have also launched their own new products in the beginning of the year to seize one of the markets. Today's introduction is Lenovo's savior R720. As a new family, what is it worthy of our attention?

A face is more than you see

In today's face, the overall design of a notebook product is naturally not to be ignored. Especially the game book, which is often quite personal in this part, can make people recognize it at a glance. Lenovo Saver R720's top part continued the family's consistent streamlined style, with three protruding three-dimensional ridges on the surface, making it look very domineering, which also meets the player's appeal for the appearance part of the game.

The three ridgelines we mentioned above have a very good decorative effect on the visual aspect and can protect the fuselage to a certain extent during a collision. Another thing I must mention is that Lenovo did a fake carbon fiber texture process on the top part of the savior R720, which greatly improved the overall texture, while the outer shell was less likely to leave fingerprints and scratches.

It is necessary to point out that the A surface of Lenovo Saver R720 is only processed through the carbon fiber texture process, not that it uses the same carbon fiber material as the ThinkPad. The two are different concepts. This is what you should know before starting this product, so as to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding after getting the machine in the later period.

Like most games now, the cooling window of Lenovo Saver R720 is also located behind the fuselage. Compared with our common heat sink layout, the advantage of doing so is that under long-term working conditions, heat does not directly cause discomfort to our hands. As for how its actual heat dissipation performance is concerned, here is the first to sell a sub-key, and later we will reveal the answer to the heat dissipation part.

Unlike business books and light and thin books, the requirements of the game system for the audio system are obviously higher. After all, not all players will be equipped with an external sounder after starting a new game. In most cases, the player will rely on its own sound. The two Harman Kardon loudspeakers of the Lenovo rescuer R720 are located on the rear of the fuselage, and with Dolby sound, can bring an immersive gaming experience.

The importance of external expansion capabilities for notebooks is self-evident, and given that game books often require a lot of external devices, their requirements in this part are undoubtedly more stringent. Lenovo Saver R720 is equipped with HDMI interface, 2 USB 3.0 interfaces, SD card reader and Type-C interface on the right side of the fuselage.

The left side of the fuselage is equipped with a game "essential" network cable interface, USB 2.0 interface and headphone / microphone interface, we usually use the audio / video and data transmission interfaces are covered. On the whole, there is no problem with the richness of the number and interface type to meet the normal use of the player. The Type-C interface is also fully taken into account in the future with the development of interface standards, it will not lag behind.

Really realistic game lightweight player

Turn on the machine to see the B side. Lenovo saver R720 uses a 15.6-inch IPS anti-glare matte screen with a resolution of 1920×1080. The 15.6 screen is the most reasonable size personally, and the 13-inch machine is obviously too small on the screen display. The 17-inch machine is too bulky. However, the 15.6-inch rescuer R720 can solve this problem very well. With the FHD screen resolution, it can bring about enough delicate display effect.

The overall C surface of Lenovo Saver R720 is a major feature. The keyboard + touchpad still occupies most of the area, but it is a brushed process in the upper area of ​​the keyboard area, which makes this part not appear too plain and looks rather high-end.

The red keyboard color is a major feature of the Lenovo rescuer R720, especially in low light conditions, the backlight is very bright. Its set of keyboard backlights offers two levels of adjustable settings, with a pure red light color. The individual is quite satisfied with its keyboard adjustment. The 1.7mm key range is relatively modest, but it needs to cater to most people's needs in terms of feedback force adjustment. It is worth mentioning that the keyboard direction keys are not embedded in the main keyboard, which can avoid the problem of Ctrl mistakes and better suit the user's habits.

When we were looking at the game book, the touchpad part wasn't often used for presentation. After all, no one would use a touchpad to manipulate the game. However, in particular, the Lenovo saver R720 has carefully designed this part of the touchpad. As you can see, it uses the same red waistline as the keyboard area. It is quite eye-catching. In addition, unlike our common touchpad, it is slightly sag and the actual control experience is more accurate.

When it comes to portability, we may be more demanding on light and thin, and the game book is limited by its own attributes and does not perform well enough in this respect. However, it is undeniable that, with the passage of time, the trend toward lighter and lighter games is an irreversible inevitable trend. The official Lenovo Saver R720 is given a body thickness of 25.8mm. This size control is quite good in the game category.

In terms of weight, the weight of the entire Lenovo rescuer R720 is 2552g; the weight of the travel is 3120g (PS: the weight given by the official is 2480g. Due to different weighing tools, there may be errors). Overall, this kind of weight control is undoubtedly excellent compared to other games that start at 3kg. I believe for the majority of gamers, this weight is completely acceptable.

Many people who play or don't play League of Legends tend to comment on the hardware part: The game does not eat configuration. In fact, this statement is not rigorous. It should be noted that the 30-frame game screen can also become playable, but the actual game experience with more than 100 frames is not at the same level at all, especially when the team fights, it is easy to drop frames. From the test results, Lenovo Saver R720's frame rate is stable at more than 120 frames, even in the case of team fighting, it can still bring smooth game screen.

● Tank World

"World of Tanks" is a war online game launched by Wargaming in 2010. Players will play chariots (PvP) from the 1930s to the 1960s, highly demanding strategies and cooperation. At present, vehicles from the Soviet Union, Germany, the United States, the United Kingdom, France, China, and Japan are available for use by players. It is expected that future versions will launch chariots from countries such as the European Union, Italy, and Israel, and the chariots in the game will be restored according to history. It is estimated that there will be a total of about 500 chariots. The game was first launched in Russia on October 30, 2010, launched in North America and Europe on April 12, 2011, and was represented by the air network in China. It was launched on March 15, 2011.

First of all, it should be noted that the following test results are obtained after various games such as straight-line marching, forward-turning, and stationary gun firing after entering the game. According to the test results given by Fraps test software, the frame rate of Lenovo saver R720 was not very large during the entire test period. On average, it was more than 100 frames. The actual game operation was smooth and did not appear because of Caton. Become a "living target".

Essential cooling/endurance test

As mentioned earlier in the introduction of the appearance, Lenovo Saver R720 uses the rear window layout, which is the current game design philosophy. In addition, its back of the fuselage is designed with a large area of ​​the combination of the matrix hole heat matrix, the composition of the Lenovo rescuer R720 cooling system. Let's take a look at its thermal performance by the actual Extreme Copy Test.

● limit thermal test

For notebook products, its cooling capacity is very important. We use Furmark to test the Lenovo saver R720. Furmark will run the two large heat-generating components, the CPU and the graphics card. The temperature will be 30 minutes after the operation. To reach a limit height, in order to allow everyone to more intuitively see the heat dissipation of each machine during operation, we also used the FLUKE infrared thermal imager to observe the temperature rise of each location. (Temperature spans 28°C-50°C: Below the lower temperature limit, black will be displayed; exceeding the upper temperature limit will display white).

From the temperature distribution chart we have drawn, the frontal high temperature area of ​​the Lenovo rescuer R720 is concentrated in the right area and near the heat dissipation window. The maximum temperature is 54.8°C. The WASD keyboard area often used in the game process is temperature controlled. Very good; the high temperature area on the back of the fuselage is also located near the heat sink, with a maximum temperature of 52.9°C. Overall, this temperature performance is very satisfactory.

●PCMark 8 battery life test

Let's start with the next test condition: the screen brightness is 100%, the backlit keyboard is on, and it is set to second level. PCMark 8 gives 2h8min test results, which also means that in the absence of an external power supply only battery-powered, it can still ensure that you can complete 2-3 League of Legends game games, overall, also Not bad.

Run subdatasheet + summary

â–  Actual running data display

Before running the sub-test, first talk about the Lenovo Saver R720 hardware configuration. It is equipped with an Intel Core i7-7700HQ processor, which is matched with 8GB DDR4 memory. The body part is composed of a 256GB SSD and a 1TB mechanical hard disk. In addition, everyone is concerned about the graphics part, Lenovo rescuer. The R720 is on the NVIDIA GTX 10 Series new card, the GTX 1050Ti. Let's look at the actual running data.

● CPU-Z test

CPU-Z is a well-known CPU detection software, it supports a very comprehensive type of CPU, software startup speed and detection speed are very fast. In addition, it can also detect the main board and memory related information, which we have commonly used memory dual channel detection. Through it you can see parameters such as CPU name, vendor, kernel process, internal and external clocks, and local clock monitoring.

From the CPU-Z test results, the seventh-generation Core i7-7700HQ powered by the Lenovo rescuer R720 is based on the 14nm process technology, the core code is Kaby Lake, with four core eight threads, the default frequency is 2.8GHz, Rui The frequency can reach 3.4GHz-3.8GHz, the highest TDP (power consumption) is 45W. Compared with the previous i7-6700HQ, it has a 13.9% improvement in single-core performance and a 8% improvement in multi-core performance.

● GPU-Z test

GPU-Z is a GPU recognition tool, green free installation, intuitive interface, running after you can detect the graphics card GPU model, step, manufacturing process, core area, number of transistors, manufacturers, detection grating and shader processing unit number, DirectX supports versions, GPU cores, shaders and memory clocks, video memory types, sizes, bandwidths, pixel fill rates, and material fill rates. And can detect real-time GPU temperature, GPU usage, memory usage and fan speed and other related information.

The GTX 10 series new card has been on the market for some time. We have also tested the mobile version of the GTX 1060/1070/1080 before. From the test results given by GPU-Z, the GTX 1050Ti equipped with the Lenovo rescuer in my hands is 2GB of video memory, the core model GP107, the number of transistors is 3.3 billion, the stream processor is 768, the texture unit and The ROPs are 48 and 32 respectively.

In order to let everyone have a more intuitive understanding of the GTX 1050Ti performance, here we also do a video ladder diagram:

● 3DMark testing

In this part of the 3DMark test, we chose Fire Strike and Sky Diver. From the actual test results, Lenovo saver R720's Fire Strike score of 6611, Sky Diver score of 18297.

Since these days, the new GTX 1050Ti equipped with the new test was more tested. I previously compared the two test results of the GTX 960M with those of the previous generation. The latter's running data were 3763 and 11086 respectively. From the data comparison results, the performance of the GTX 1050Ti has obviously exceeded that of the GTX 960M, which is slightly better than that of the GTX 970M.

● CINBENCH R15 test

CineBench is a very convincing set of CPU and graphics test systems, the latest is the R15 version. Compared to up to 16 cores in R11.5, the R15 version can support up to 256 logic cores. In addition, the new version also enhances the investigation of shaders, anti-aliasing, shadows, lights, and reflection blur, and the performance of CPUs. The test is more accurate. The test includes two items, each for the performance indicators of the processor and the graphics card.

Or the previous generation i7-6700HQ as a reference object, the seventh-generation Core i7-7700HQ processor single-core score of 152, multi-core score of 727, compared to i7-7700HQ single-core performance increased by about 17%, Multicore increases performance by about 8%. We know that before it came out, i7-6700HQ has always been the representative of high-end U laptop, and the arrival of the seventh generation Core i7-7700HQ, this title will undoubtedly be taken over.

●PCMark 8 test

PCMark 8 is a benchmark performance testing software for Windows system. Home testing is one of the testing modes (5 types in total). It mainly simulates the use environment of common users. The testing project covers web browsing and document processing. Pictures, video chat, light load games, etc., and include both OpenCL accelerated and traditional test modes.

PCMark 8 as a test software to examine the overall performance of notebooks is also the most commonly used. Here the Lenovo saver R720 ran out of 3531 points, and usually the game book could reach more than 3200 points in this test, which is already good enough. And its performance of 3,531 points is undoubtedly in the forefront of the same level of products, very much to the force.

● AS SSD test

AS SSD Benchmark is an SSD test software from Germany that can test continuous read and write, 4K alignment, 4KB random read and write and response time performance, and give a comprehensive score. At the same time, the software also comes with the Compression Benchmark project, which can give a curve describing the transformation of performance as the compressible data occupancy (compression ratio) in the data model increases.

With the increasing popularity of SSDs in recent years, everyone knows more about it. Compared to traditional mechanical hard disks, its advantages in data reading/transmission are obviously enormous. Prior to this, a large number of SSD tests were also performed, but in reality, there are not many more than 1,000 hard drives. Thanks to the advantages of the NVME protocol and the PCI-E interface, the AS SSD gave a Lenovo Saver R720 SSD score of 1533, which is quite satisfactory. It is worth mentioning that not all notebook products have chosen the hard disk of this technology. If you have relatively high requirements for read/write speeds or upgrade requirements, then the Lenovo rescuer R720 is undoubtedly a good choice.

Written in the last words

The article here is basically come to an end. Looking back at Lenovo saver R720, the overall design was highly recognizable while continuing the family's consistent line design. At the same time, due to the processing of the imitation carbon fiber texture process, it showed a good sense of quality. The hardware configuration, the seventh-generation Core i7-7700HQ processor, 8GB DDR4 memory, 256GB SSD + 1TB HDD body storage and GTX 1050Ti alone significant blessing, also makes it have a good performance in performance.

Of course, it needs to be acknowledged that this kind of hardware configuration is not top-level. From the actual test data, GTX 1050Ti still has a certain gap in performance compared with GTX 1060 or more graphics cards. However, the very practical question before us is budget expenditure, which is the same as what I said before. Even though the GTX 1060 game has been on the market for some time, its price is still not close to the people.

From the consumer's point of view, if you are not very demanding on the performance requirements, then the use of the GTX 1050Ti like Lenovo Saver R720 is sufficient, and there is no need to spend extra money. As the local graphics card also provides GTX 1050 options, and from our test results in the past few days, its performance in the face of most mainstream games can also easily deal with, if you budget tight, then consider starting GTX 1050 version It is also a good choice!
