College freshmen are one of the main consumer groups of laptops, and many laptops begin to increase in price as soon as the college entrance examination ends every year, and the prices of many models are at a high level throughout the summer.
Our protagonist today HP Star Book Pro 16 2024 is a large-screen book that is being promoted in the summer, and its U5 and U7 core display versions are currently priced at 5199 yuan and 5699 yuan respectively, which are 600 yuan and 300 yuan lower than the initial price.
We got its discrete display version this time, which is just the right time to test the limit of this set of heat dissipation.
Let's take a look at how competitive it is at the moment:
惠普 星Book Pro 16 2024
Left side of the fuselage
The right side of the fuselage
It is configured as follows:
Intel Core Ultra 7 processor 155H
RTX 4050 6GB 独立显卡（50W）
32GB LPDDR5x 7467MHz 内存
1TB SSD
16-inch 2560×1600 resolution, 100% sRGB color gamut, 120Hz refresh rate, IPS screen
厚度 17.9~19.3 mm
Weight 1.87kg
Adapter weight 438g
The reference price is 8999 yuan
Its advantages and disadvantages are as follows:
Merit!
1. Among similar products, the weight is relatively light
2. The overall quality of the screen is good
3. Equipped with a 5 million pixel camera
Shortcoming!
1. The position of the power button is weird
2. The power adapter is heavier
3. The internal scalability is average
【Upgrade Suggestions】
This laptop is relatively simple to disassemble, and the back cover can be removed by removing all the screws on the bottom surface.
The dual-channel 32GB LPDDR5x 7467MHz memory is sufficient for most purposes, and the memory is onboard and cannot be replaced.
The SSD capacity of the test machine is 1TB, model Hynix PC801, supports PCIe 4.0×4 and NVMe, and the machine only has a 2280 M.2 slot, which can be replaced if necessary.
【Purchase Suggestion】
1. There are certain requirements for screen specifications
2. There is a demand for the picture quality of video conferencing
3. Do not pursue massive storage expansion
The HP Star Book Pro 16 2024 has a lot of optional configurations, and it controls the noise and weight well in a large-screen all-round laptop, and the overall quality of the screen is also good.
In terms of screen, the measured color gamut volume is 113.0%sRGB, and the color gamut covers 98.8%sRGB. Using sRGB as a reference, the average ΔE is 1.83 and the maximum ΔE is 5.12. The maximum brightness of the measured screen is 423nits.
In terms of interfaces, there is a USB-A 5Gbps and 3.5mm headset interface on the left side of the fuselage;
On the right side of the fuselage, there is a Thunderbolt Quad and USB-C 10Gbps (both support 100W PD charging and DP1.4 core video output), HDMI2.0 and USB-A 10Gbps interfaces.
In terms of noise, it has a decibel level of 49.0dB at full load. (33.1dB ambient noise)
In terms of battery life, the daily simulation endurance test score is 5 hours and 40 minutes. (Scene: Modern Office)
We have this independent display version of HP Star Book Pro 16 priced at 8999 yuan,In addition, there are U5 and U7 core display versions to choose from,It is currently on summer promotion,16GB+1TBThe price is 5199 yuan and 5699 yuan respectively,The price is significantly lower after no independent display。
There will be a U5+32GB version in the future.
So if you want a large-screen all-in-one laptop with a dedicated graphics card and large memory, then this notebook can be considered.
But if you're looking for the ultimate in performance, then this PC might not be for you.
【Heat Analysis】
The picture above is a real shot of the HP Star Book Pro 16, a combination of dual heat pipes and dual fans.
Room temperature 25°C
Reflectivity 1.0
BIOS version: F.03
In the full load state, the high-performance mode is turned on, the CPU temperature is stable at 91°C, the power consumption is 30W, the P-core frequency is 2.0GHz, the E-core frequency is 2.0GHz, and the LPE core frequency is 2.5GHz.
The graphics card temperature is 75.6°C, the power consumption is 50W, and the frequency is 1725MHz.
单烤Stress FPU,CPU温度维持在95°C,功耗55W,P核频率3.3~3.7GHz,E核频率2.8GHz,E核频率1.9GHz。
Single-baked Furmark, the graphics card temperature is maintained at 72.9°C, the power consumption is 60W, and the frequency is 1815MHz.
The surface temperature is shown in the graph above, with the keyboard keycaps at a maximum temperature of 46.8°C on the "{" key, around 31.8°C near the WASD key, and 41.2°C near the arrow key. The temperature of the left wrist rest is 29.4°C.
Overall, the HP Star Book Pro 16's cooling performance is decent, its performance release is conservative, and the surface temperature is on the high side, but the graphics card temperature and noise are better controlled in a discrete graphics laptop.
【Hui Xiaowei 4.0 hands-on experience】
HP Star Book Pro 16 2024 is equipped with Intel Core Ultra 7 processor 155H, which not only passes the Intel Evo certification, but also integrates three AI engines, CPU + GPU + NPU, which is an AIPC.
Today we are going to get started with Hui Xiaowei 4.0, compared with the previous Hui Xiaowei, version 4.0 not only updates AI Xiaohui, but also integrates Wenxin Yiyan and WPS AI two mature AI functions.
AI Xiaohui is a new feature in this update, which can help users solve problems in computer use through local language models, such as "how to partition disk", "how to enter computer BIOS", "what to do if the computer suddenly has no sound" and so on.
Compared with traditional search engines, AI Xiaohui can not only give text solutions, but also directly help users operate.
(As shown in the picture above, we used AI Xiaohui to turn on the performance mode of the computer)
Huixiaowei has also ushered in a major update, in version 4.0, it can call Wenxin Yiyan and WPS AI with one click, and users only need to click the button in the lower left corner to switch between various AI services.
【The Pig King's Conscience Conclusion】
Overall,HP Star Book Pro 16It is a large-screen all-round book with balanced performance,From the perspective of summer promotion strategy,Its main sales force should beU5andU7Core display version,One less 4050 and16GB memory can be cheaper3300element。
之前点评过的星Book Pro 14也正在促销，U5+32G售价5499元。
From the point of view of the machine itself, the performance release of this set of molds 80W is more conservative for independent display models, but it is more surplus for nuclear display models, and the competitiveness should be stronger.
If you don't have high requirements for gaming performance and at the same time have large requirements for screen size (such as me who is born with farsightedness), then this promotion of the HP Star Book Pro 16 Core Edition gives a better price than the first release, which is worth considering.
