Can IT168 review notebooks be controlled by voice? Just like Siri on the iPhone that we usually use? Well, yes! In fact, the idea of ??notebooks being controlled by voice has been around for a long time, but no one has thought about it.

Haier's new X5 notebook claims to be able to be controlled by voice. It seems that it doesn't even need a keyboard and mouse. Is it possible? Today, the editor will use a review to show you this so-called "smart" voice notebook - Haier

X5! Let’s first look at the design style of X5. X5 follows Haier’s favorite fashion color route. The one the editor has is attractive cherry red, and I saw another blue one at the new product launch conference.

The top cover is a mainstream metal brushed design, but it doesn’t feel as smooth as some products, but has a slightly astringent feel. The edge is still a plastic design, because this is the antenna position left for the WIFI signal.

The screen part is a mainstream 14-inch design, and the frame is also popular black paint. What is intriguing is that there are two symmetrical microphone designs above the screen. Why two? It turns out to be a dual-array microphone design prepared by Haier for voice control.

The advantage is that the speaking sounds can be received from different directions as much as possible to improve the recognition effect.

One side of the keyboard is in cherry red color. The difference is that it is designed with a simple plastic material. The appearance with the paint cannot be said to be very beautiful, it can only feel ordinary.

From an editorial perspective: Although the color weapon is in hand, the overall aesthetic feeling cannot keep up with the times. Compared with the product styles of other brands, Haier's design skills in notebooks still need to be improved! The operation feel of the keyboard and touchpad is X5

The Gudao keyboard design is quite satisfactory, with a six-row layout + regular keys. For anyone who has used computers for a long time, it is very fast to get started with the X5 keyboard! However, this set of keyboards also has obvious shortcomings. The surface of the keys is slightly rough, and the keys

There is not enough depth, and it feels stiff to press (not flexible enough), so people who are used to using good keyboards will definitely feel that the X5 keyboard is not comfortable enough, and there is no feeling when pressing it.

On the contrary, the touchpad is still acceptable because the area is relatively large and the aspect ratio is also large, so it does not feel constrained when used. For example, you can move your fingers left and right at will without worrying about running outside.

Go! The response of the left and right keys is relatively sensitive, and generally there is no discomfort.

The X5 is designed with three buttons on the left side of the power button: system recovery button, voice button and WIFI button. Among them, the WIFI button is the most practical and useful. You can turn on and off the wireless signal easily without having to control it in the system, which saves trouble!

The editor feels: The keyboard of X5 is really not flattering, and it is indeed different from better notebook keyboards.

In terms of speakers, the X5 is designed with two independent speakers, which are positioned to send sound directly into our ears. However, these two speakers are not certified by big brands, nor are they of high professional standards, so the playback effect is average.

Interested readers can listen to the live audition edited and recorded below: Considerations for upgrading The X5 uses a metal baffle on the back. In Haier’s words, this is to protect users from the intrusion of electromagnetic signals inside the fuselage. Today

People are paying more and more attention to the concept of health, so this design is very good! Through the special baffle design, the memory upgrade becomes very simple, but the original two 2GB DDR3 1600MHz Samsung memory modules need to be replaced with two of the same capacity at the same time.

To achieve dual-channel performance! The editor recommends that unless it is broken, there is basically no need to replace it, unless you want to upgrade to 2~4GB DDR3.

The hard drive is also very easy to replace. You can replace it with a SATA3 SSD or a 7200RPM traditional hard drive. The original 500GB SATA3 Seagate hard drive has a 5400RPM design and mediocre performance. The following is its test data: The editor believes that the X5 upgrade is relatively convenient.

And thoughtful, the original Samsung memory is of great brand and has guaranteed quality! However, since there is no half-height mSATA design, users who have no money to replace an SSD lose the opportunity to install a small-capacity SSD as a traditional hard drive cache!

In terms of battery, the X5 is a bit stingy because it only uses a 4-cell 2600mAh design, which is very different from the 6-cell 3000-4000mAh designs of some thin and light notebooks, so the battery life will be shortened. The editor estimates that it should be 4

Hours or so.

Interface expansion Haier X5 itself is a relatively thin design. Although the data shows a thickness of 23-25mm, the editor's visual inspection always feels very thin! So is the interface a problem? Of course not! X5 has 2. USB2.0 and 2.

?USB3.0 design, with a total of 4 USB interfaces, usually such products only have 3! Moreover, one of the USB3.0 comes with peripheral charging function, which can be used by your mobile phone and tablet! In other aspects,

There are a lot of VGA and HDMI, 1 RJ45, an SD/MMC dual-in-one card reader, a DVD drive and the only headphone/mic composite interface.
