日本Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 (11, Gen 8) Review – Is This the Windows Mini You’ve Been Waiting For?
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; CPU temp; Package Power
| Intel Processor N100 (6W TDP) | 0:02 – 0:10 sec | 0:15 – 0:30 sec | 10:00 – 15:00 min |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lenovo IdeaPad Duet 3 (11″, Gen 8) | 2.78 GHz @ 69°C @ 13W | 1.73 GHz @ 54°C @ 6W | 1.59 GHz @ 56°C @ 6W |
The Intel Processor N100 inside this Lenovo device can sustain almost 2.80GHz alongside a 13W power limit in short loads which is a good result. After that, the clocks are lower since the CPU settles at 6W which is its base official limit.
Comfort during full load
The machine is dead silent because of the passive cooling. The back doesn’t feel hot to the touch even when the CPU is pushed to its limits for a long time. You have to use the default OS power modes to control the device’s performance.
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 machine is offered with a 35.6Wh battery pack. It lasts for 10 hours of Web browsing, or 8 hours and 20 minutes of video playback. To achieve that, you have to apply the “Balanced” mode in the Windows “Power & Battery” menu.
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.
Hey guys thanks for the review. Has this laptop been released to the public? I’m having trouble finding it to purchase online.
