Actual test, the test scores of CPUmark 99 to 339 points, Nuclearus Multi Core test scores for the 7903 test scores of CrystalMark 2004R3 136643.
Storage, the main hard disk Hitachi 500GB 5400RPM HDD, and also with the SATA II 20GB SSD. The actual test, the CrystalDiskMark measured the average read and write speeds of 230.2 / 91.19 MB / s (read / write). The ATTO measured the average read and write, compared with 136.782/99.882 MB / s (read / write). HD Tune Pro test, the HDD average read speed of 84.4 MB / s, stability is also pretty good. The average read speed of the SSD to 141.5 MB / s, but in the performance of the stability it needs to be strengthened.
Graphics cards, in addition to the Intel HD 3000 graphics chip, M3 is also equipped with the NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M discrete graphics card, the card is equipped with 1GB DDR3 video memory. CINEBENCH R11.5 test OpenGL can reach test scores 27.90FPS. 3DMARK 11 tests, for the three models, the results were E2768, P1787, X586. 3DMARK VANTAGE test three models, the results were E145885, P6569, H4906.
Comprehensive performance, overall performance in PCMark Vantage score of 5587 points PCMARK, 7 measured by the performance scores compared with 2543 points.
Test of the actual game, Final Fantasy 14 test scores is 2265 points, Street Fighter 4 test results for the RANK A, 9816, 59.32 FPS. Monster Hunter Benchmark measured score was 3354 points. Lost Planet 2 run DX9 and DX11 measured results were not significant, are the RANK C, average FPS on the 30 or less. Resident Evil 5 of Benchmark average frame rate in DX9 mode 2.5FPS DX 10 mode, the average frame rate 77.6FPS.
Cooling, the standby CPU temperature is about 50-51 degrees up and down, run AIDA64 about 30 minutes after the CPU temperature rose to 64-66 degrees up and down, the other vents the highest temperature is about 46.1 degrees on average about 45 degrees up and down.
Aspects of life, M3 equipped 3Cell lithium battery through Powermark test, life in balance mode for 4 hours and 26 minutes, productivity mode mode life time of 5 hours 52 minutes, entertainment mode, the battery life of 3 hours and 15 minutes.
Appearance, M3 in the fuselage exterior design, really like a Ultrabook The first is a rare black color design, and the common color of the light-colored metal has a great deal of difference. The four corner design of the M3, the arc-income corner design, the screen superstructure is slightly less than the fuselage body, also used in the design of the mosaic concept.
The whole machine is used the matte texture of the coating, and the Ultrabook compared with the past, like to use metal texture design are also different, but the Acer M3 Matte coating is relatively easy to leave fingerprints oil spill still have to maintain a good wipe habits job can be regarded as a little pity. Body shaft is hidden a common design, there will be a visual one piece feel, we can see the Acer is also used on the M3 DOLBY HOME THEATER sound technology.
15.6-inch laptop from the front of the fuselage is indeed thin many, the actual measurement of the thickness of the front of the fuselage is about 2.35cm. Configuration the vast majority of I / O terminals is part of the end of the fuselage, the actual measurement of the body thickness is about 2.5cm, compare the official data of body size 376.4 (W) x 253 (D) x 19.7 / 20.7 (H) mm, it seems a little gap on the thickness of the fuselage.
Body hardware configuration with the terminal part of the first to see the power button is causing me to find a half-day can not be found, this is set in front of the fuselage, this design seems to be no big problem, but the actual use relatively easy to inadvertently boot, like I would be careful not to boot several times in closing the laptop situation.
Right side of the lock slot in the fuselage. The fuselage cooling hole is located at the far right of the fuselage end of one side you have a 3.5mm headphone audio terminals. Two sets of USB 2.0 terminal and a group supporting a PowerShare the USB 3.0 terminal, because the relations between the terminals within a short distance, so some of the special shape of the flash drive is not suitable to use at the same time, another standard HDMI output terminal, Acer 3680 5570 5570Z 5580 DC Power USB Board PB02, RJ- 45 wired network terminals and the AC IN power input terminals. Body the right of carrying the the Ultrabook first DVD drive supports burning capabilities and multi-card reader configuration.
After opening the screen superstructure can see the 15.6-inch glossy widescreen, the other you can see the built-in 1.3M HD video lens. Arc groove body hinge, from the internal body looks quite a sense of design.
The internal body, you can see full-size keyboard, equipped with a digital keyboard set wrist at the left side of the large touchpad and asymmetric configuration. Home wrist at the part of a matte coating design, but compared to the screen superstructure is less likely to leave a fingerprint oil spill. The keyboard is a common sub-island-style keyboard design as Acer Aspire one 150 Laptop Keyboard, key way, compared with lighter design, percussion, not too friends may not get used to contribute to the sense of like a sense of deep percussion.
With a digital key, so that the size of the keyboard keys be far more than the average netbook small, but the key distance is pretty far, so you can reduce some inadvertently happens, you can also see the top of the F1 key column the column and the right of the number keys on the key size is a relatively small design, a bit small for male friends, using them to spend a little time to get used.
Touchpad for the whole plane design or mechanical design of the left and right buttons below, the size of the large touchpad is about 10.6 (W) X 7.8 (L) cm, the trackpad coating is set and the left and right sides wrist at the same fairly smoothly.
Summary
Seen currently on the market for 11 inch or 13 inch Ultrabook suddenly saw 15.6 inches of Ultrabook is a bit not in the habit, but Acer Ultra M3 on the body design is indeed thin many, especially in the use and my own CB17 compared with the portability you really want to better, larger body design, the keyboard plus the number buttons is a convenient design, but unfortunately the size of buttons is a bit small, when in use to take the time to adapt to feel and no backlit keyboard design is also a pity. Built-in terminal is quite rich, but concentrated in the fuselage end of the USB terminal is too intensive, and if the flash drive using the special shape of the product, sometimes to sacrifice one set of terminals seemed to be some waste. Equipped with a the Ultrabook never seen CD-ROM drive configuration, opportunities for me to use too few, but always a selling point of the product as prepared device is also good.
Specifications of the hardware specifications, processor, memory and not much that can be critical, but part of the built-in hard drive, although the use of a 20GB SDD hybrid hard, but the main hard drive is only 5400RPM, for The high volume of users is a little less enough, but because this M3 price of less than four million, if you can replace the high-speed or SSD hard drive might be able to attract consumers' willingness to buy. Although the battery is unable to facilitate the replacement, but the battery life unimaginable performance, screen resolution is only 1366 X 768 I really feel pity, it is recommended that can be raised to 1920 X 1080 or 1600 X 900 and other more high resolution screen performance more dazzling, and not let the built-in DVD drive and GT 640M discrete graphics a little hero useless regret. Ultra M3 add discrete graphics for the first time, through GT 640M graphics, image performance approaching the standard of the gaming laptop, is this laptop is quite one of the highlights.
