This time, the Lenovo Xiaoxin Air 13 uses gold and silver colors. The body is made of metal, and the overall design style is very simple. According to the data released at the press conference, the overall weight of the Xiaoxin Air is only 1.1 kg, and the thickest part of the body is only 13.9 mm, which can be described as quite thin.

In terms of interface, the common design of combining power supply and USB interface is not adopted on the left side of the fuselage, but a separate power interface is configured and a charging indicator is installed beside it. There is also a USB3.0 interface, an integrated headphone microphone interface, and One click restore Button. On the right, from left to right, are the power indicator, the all-in-one card reader, the USB 3.0 that supports power-off charging, and the Micro HDMI interface. Generally speaking, common interfaces are covered.

At the bottom of the fuselage, we saw a long fan air inlet window, which fully guaranteed the air inlet volume of the dual fan cooling system. At the same time, we also saw a long mat above the air inlet window, which can effectively prevent the hot air from the fan from flowing back into the cooling air inlet. In Lenovo Y series Gamebook There are similar designs on the, which shows that Lenovo's designers attach great importance to the heat dissipation capacity of the new Air.

At both sides of the bottom of the fuselage, there are openings for two JBL speakers. It can be seen that the two openings are very wide, so the volume of the sound inside should be large. The oblique cut planes on both sides can form a reflection with the desktop and then reach the user's ears, which is believed to achieve a good sound effect. As the environment on site is very noisy, we will make a supplement to the experience of sound effects in the future detailed evaluation.

The super narrow frame screen of the small new Air 13 can be said to be the biggest feature of this machine. According to the author's on-site test, the thickness of the screen frame is about the same as that of two one yuan coins. Thanks to the narrow frame design, a 13.3-inch screen can be inserted into the small and thin 12 inch body. This new Air 13 is also more convenient to carry out.

Narrow border is the biggest feature

In terms of the screen, an IPS wide view screen with a resolution of 1080P is used. This resolution is just right for 13 inches. No matter how high the resolution is, it is unnecessary. In addition, the visual angle of up to 170 ° also brings a good visual experience.

In addition to the narrow border, the author believes that another major feature of the machine is its keyboard. Careful netizens can see that Lenovo has redesigned the keyboard of Xiaoxin Air 13. The most obvious change is that the key cap has become much larger, which can effectively reduce the chance of wrong press when typing. At the same time, Lenovo also optimized the keystroke of the small new Air 13, with longer keystroke and more powerful rebound. This kind of typing experience is in the same type of Thin and light edition China believes that there is no competitor. Of course, keyboard backlight is also essential.

The redesigned keyboard made the author very satisfied

At the same time, the machine is also equipped with a dual fan cooling system to maximize the heat dissipation of the Skylake processor in the light and thin body. Please pay attention to the processing performance test, SSD speed test, heat dissipation test temperature of this machine, and whether there will be frequency reduction.

In addition, Lenovo's new Air also focuses on the concept of cloud office. A 100GB cloud disk service with large capacity is built in the machine, and it is deeply integrated with the Windows system, just like the local computer hard disk. Users can edit and store online in real time, and can work anywhere at any time. In addition, Lenovo has also developed a one button switch program that allows users to transfer all data, settings, and even typewriting One click migration to a new computer, convenient for users to use quickly. And it has built-in genuine Office Software , which greatly facilitates the use of office workers.

In general, what impressed the author most about the new Air is its narrow frame screen and its lightweight body. In addition, the comfortable keyboard typing experience also surprised the author. At the same time, the software optimization for office workers is also very considerate. The initial price of 5699 yuan is believed to attract many young white-collar workers to buy.
