2.5K 165Hz large screen, visual experience advantages are obvious

At present, most of the games on the market are mainly 15.6 ~ 16.1 inches, although the body is relatively easier to design more compact, but in the case of high performance, portability is actually no qualitative difference, therefore, when choosing a game book, if you do not need to often carry a notebook around, then 17.3 inches is actually our more recommended size.

Wukong K7 S6 uses a 17.3-inch 2560× 1440 resolution, 165Hz refresh rate e-sports screen, but note that this screen is not standard, but needs to be upgraded through consulting customer service. But there is a saying, the display quality is very good, combined with the narrow border on the left and right sides, the screen ratio is about 85%, that is to say, the actual fuselage width of the Wukong K7 S6 is actually not much different from the traditional 15.6-inch model, but the 17.3-inch visual effect is more "immersive". And 100% sRGB color gamut ensures the color accuracy of daily office entertainment, and the 165Hz refresh rate can easily meet the requirements of e-sports games for responsiveness.

It is worth noting that in general, the price of 17.3-inch games is relatively higher, and most of the models with similar configurations to my K7 S6 are priced at 9000 ~ 10000 yuan, and the price of my K7 S6 even after upgrading the display is only 7999 yuan, which is the current first echelon from the perspective of cost performance.

The four-sided air design ensures the heat dissipation effect of the Wukong K7 S6

14-core 20-thread processor with 80W performance explosion

In terms of hardware configuration, My kong K7 S6 first adopted the Intel Core i7 12700H processor, this generation of Intel processors officially enabled heterogeneous design, Core i7 12700H based on 6 performance cores and 8 efficiency cores, the former supports Hyper-Threading Technology, so the total is 14 cores and 20 threads, which is more advantageous in the number of cores than previous models, such as Core i7 11800H 8 cores 16 threads, according to CineBench In the R23's multi-core test, the Wukong K7 S6 can easily rush to about 16,000 points, while the Core i7 11800H has only more than 12,000 points, leading by more than 30%.

In addition, the single-core performance core i7 12700H also maintained a high level, after all, its performance core single-core turbo frequency can reach up to 4.7GHz, CineBench R23 single-core test of more than 1700 points, also significantly ahead of the previous generation Core i7 11800H more than 1500 points, which is very important for gaming applications, especially considering that after turning on DLSS, the processor performance requirements are higher, in this case, the Wukong K7 S6 will not drop the chain.

In terms of performance release, it can even maintain 80W of explosive power consumption to complete the CineBench multi-core test, even if it uses AIDA64 and other examination software, it can be maintained at about 70W, and the performance performance is outstanding in the same level of models.

Although it does not focus on the thin and light design, the thickness of the Wukong K7 S6 is actually quite well controlled

140W full blood RTX 3060, play 3A masterpiece is no problem

RTX 3060 can be said to be the basic configuration of 2.5K resolution 3A games, but I believe everyone is very clear, the current graphics card has several power levels, RTX 3060 The lowest power is 80W, the highest can be 140W, this minimum and highest performance gap is still quite obvious, The latter can be played under the high quality of 2.5K resolution, the former not only to reduce the picture quality, and even may have to lower the resolution, so when choosing a product, you must not only look at the model, the most important thing is to look at the power version, there are many high-priced models on the market that are still using the 105W version, and some brands with high cost performance even directly use the 80W basic version, which need to be actively screened and avoided in time.

It is gratifying that the Wukong K7 S6 did not use the low-power RTX 3060, but directly used the 140W full-blood version, we used The Furmark to test the graphics card, the measured power consumption is between 130 and 140W, combined with the Core i7 12700H processor, dual channel 16GB DDR4-3200 and 512GB PCI-E SSD, so that it has achieved the performance of the current configuration of the model to maximize.

Of course, unfortunately, it is not nothing: its RTX 3060 does not support a single direct connection, but fortunately it uses a full-blood RTX 3060, and the performance base is large enough that it can still get strong performance in the AAA game test. And don't forget that RTX-level graphics not only support ray tracing, but also support DLSS, which can greatly reduce graphics card overhead while ensuring picture quality, "Ghost Line: Tokyo", "God of War", "Cyberpunk 2077" and other masterpieces support DLSS, in the case of opening a medium level DLSS, these three games can easily break the 60fps mark with the highest special effects of 2.5K resolution, and the occasional minimum frame rate will not be less than 50fps, which can basically achieve complete smooth operation.

Even AAA masterpieces that do not support DLSS, such as "Elden's Ring of Law", the highest special effects can basically run full 60fps, the highest special effects of "Forza Motorsports: Horizon" are close to 50fps, and e-sports games such as "League of Legends", "Overwatch", "PUBG" can easily break through 100fps with the highest special effects and even go straight to the upper limit of vertical synchronization of 165fps, so with the blessing of the full blood RTX 3060 and the high-power Core i7 12700H processor, The gaming performance of the Wukong K7 S6 is fully guaranteed.

In the case of double examination, the heat distribution of my K7 S6 is also more reasonable

The heat dissipation design is more reasonable, and the expansion gameplay is more abundant

Heat is the most affecting part of the game control experience, after all, this is also April, the hot summer is close at hand, the heat dissipation design of my K7 S6 is considered to be a relatively mature program in my opinion, using a dual fan, five heat pipes and four air outlet design, and supports a key strong cooling function, this combination allows it to keep the WASD key within 33 ° C in the case of playing for a long time, the body temperature is relatively refreshing. The highest temperature of the entire C-side is concentrated in the middle of the keyboard, there is close to 50 ° C, the temperature of the left and right palm rests is basically close to the room temperature, and overall, the friendliness of the K7 S6 to keyboard players is still quite high.

When the processor and the graphics card are fully loaded at the same time, the processor power consumption is about 55W, while the graphics card is maintained at 110W, which is basically the same as the real performance when playing AAA games. It is worth mentioning that the fan noise control of the K7 S6 in the full load state is better, even if it is played in a relatively quiet environment, it will not obviously interfere with others, which is more suitable for college gamers.

In terms of interface and extended gameplay, my K7 S6 is also called eighteen martial arts proficiency, first of all, it uses the latest Intel AX211 WiFi 6E wireless network card, relative to WiFi 6l, the new 6GHz band, and an additional 14 80MHz channels and 7 160MHz channels, for players who have used gigabit broadband at home, faster and lower latency.

Wukong K7 S6 is equipped with 1 HDMI, 1 Mini DP and a USB-C interface with DP output, so it can achieve four screen outputs including notebook screens, online lessons, watching news, staring at the disk can be synchronized, the only drawback is that the speaker volume is too small, want the best effect or have to match a speaker or wear headphones. In terms of internal expansion, the memory supports a single maximum of 32GB, and also reserves a 7mm SATA hard disk warehouse, which can upgrade both HDD and SSD, PCI-E SSD is also supported to version 4.0, and the overall gameplay is very rich.

The large trackpad and full-size keyboard design make the handling experience great

Summary: The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys

Maybe you will also worry, as a brand that does not seem to be so famous, is it really reliable? In fact, its design is based on the blue sky of the working factory, so many years of hard work, player feedback is generally positive, and it also provides a 2-year warranty of the whole machine, the purchase of the machine will also send the system U disk, computer backpack, mouse, mouse pad, keyboard membrane and a lot of giveaways, which is relatively rare in the current notebook market, but also to give the greatest sincerity as much as possible, and from the product performance of my space K7 S6 its performance is very full, the core hardware configuration does not shrink, The 17.3-inch large-screen comprehensive experience is very good, and the price advantage is also quite obvious, which is a "treasure" model that has not been discovered by too many players.
