日本ASUS Zenbook 15 OLED (UM3504) review – has a stunning display and light chassis
Temperatures and comfort, Battery Life
Max CPU load
In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.
Average core frequency (base frequency + X); CPU temp.
| AMD Ryzen 7 7735U (28W TDP) | 0:02 – 0:10 sec | 0:15 – 0:30 sec | 10:00 – 15:00 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| ASUS Zenbook 15 OLED (UM3504) | 3.49 GHz @ 85°C @ 48W | 3.25 GHz @ 91°C @ 41W | 2.86 GHz @ 80°C @ 30W |
The Ryzen 7 7735U in this machine can maintain high clocks and power limits in short and light loads. The temperature in the second column isn’t that pleasant. In longer stress, the processor can sustain 2.86 GHz which is still good considering the 2.70 GHz official base frequency.
Gaming comfort
The fans are set to “Performance mode” in the MyASUS app. Even then, they are turned off when the CPU temperature doesn’t cross the 51-52°C mark. The noise under heavy CPU stress or gaming is average at best. In this case, the whole keyboard deck feels a bit warm. When the CPU isn’t stressed at max, the fans are almost quiet.
In light tasks such as video playback, the fan speed is ~ 3600 – 2300 RPM and 7700 – 5400 RPM under max processor stress.
Battery
Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. This laptop’s 67Wh battery pack lasts for 9 hours and 5 minutes of Web browsing or 12 hours and 30 minutes of video playback. To achieve this, you have to use Standard fan mode, turn off Noise Cancelling completely, and use the Dynamic refresh rate option.
In order to simulate real-life conditions, we used our own script for automatic web browsing through over 70 websites.
For every test like this, we use the same video in HD.
Hello, I would like to ask you a question about the thermal interface. What’s smeared there? And the second question is, what number of screwdriver did you use?
