The days continue to be affected by the trend of the new coronavirus, but gradually the place where I work every day is changing from working from home only to working at the company at other times, working from home at other times, and doing business on the go. Many people are living different lives.
Amidst all this, video conferencing has become well-established and continues, and mobile PCs are still indispensable in this kind of hybrid work environment. Of course, the performance is powerful, the battery life is long, I want to try Windows 11, and above all, I want to keep the price as low as 100,000 yen.
The mouse computer "mouse X4-R5" featured here is one that fulfills such wishes. The standard specification is 94,800 yen excluding tax (107,580 yen including tax and shipping, the same applies below), but this time I got a recommended configuration model (116,270 yen) with enhanced memory from 8GB to 16GB. , We will check the performance and battery life.
"mouse X4-R5", a mouse computer mobile PC equipped with a 14-inch liquid crystal display. It weighs about 1.2 kg and has a long battery life of about 10 hours (JEITA battery operating time measurement method Ver.2.0)The mouse X4-R5 is equipped with AMD's 6-core 12-thread 3rd generation Ryzen 5 4600H (3GHz to 4GHz) for the CPU and 6-core Radeon Graphics for the GPU. The Ryzen 5 4600H has a higher limit value than the TDP 35W and TDP 15W models, and the performance is improved accordingly.
The memory is a dual-channel configuration of 16GB (8GB x 2/DDR4-2666), and the storage is solidly organized with a 512GB SSD (PCI Express 3.0 x4/NVMe). With BTO, you can select up to 64GB of memory and up to 2TB of storage, and you can also select an external HDD (2TB/4TB) with USB 3.0 connection.
In addition, if the memory module is dual-channel, the full performance including the built-in GPU can be drawn out, so if possible, 16 GB or more like the evaluation machine, 32 GB considering that I have more time to touch the PC for hybrid work etc. I would like to install the memory (+24,090 yen).
CPU-Z screenGPU-Z screenThe storage capacity of 512GB is a PCI Express (NVMe) compatible SSD, and the evaluation machine is a Micron 2210 (MTFDHBA512QFD ) was adoptedCrystalDiskMark 8.0.1 (by Hiyohiyo). Both read and write values were the same as the nominal values. For BTO, you can also specify a faster (3200MB/s read) Samsung PM981aIn a hybrid work environment , There are many opportunities to carry a PC regardless of whether it is outdoors or indoors. I want to use a PC that is as sturdy as possible, but this product uses a lightweight and highly rigid magnesium alloy for the body. The surface is finished with a smooth touch, and it is a good impression that it is difficult for fingerprints to stick to mobile PCs that are often touched by hands. A metallic red color is used for the top plate of the liquid crystal display, and it has a very impactful appearance.
The top plate of the liquid crystal display adopts a metallic red color, and the logo of the mouse computer is painted in silver in the center. The liquid crystal display opens up to about 155 degreesThe 14-inch liquid crystal display, which supports full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) display, has a non-glare finish that prevents external light and lighting from reflecting, making it easy to use for long periods of time. Also less eye fatigue. Although there is no description of the liquid crystal alignment method, the viewing angle is wide both vertically and horizontally, and the visibility is good.
Due to the adoption of an LCD display with a narrow frame of approximately 4.5 mm on the left and right, the body size is small at approximately 320.2 (width) x 214.5 (depth) x 17.5 (thickness) mm, despite the 14-inch, and the nominal weight Approximately 1.2 kg (approximately 1201 g by actual measurement) and maintains a sense of size that is easy to handle.
Equipped with a 14-inch liquid crystal display that supports full HD display. The brightness is not so high, but the viewing angle is wideThe interface is also complete, and the communication function is wired LAN compatible with 1000BASE-T, Wi-Fi 6 (IEEE 802.11 ax) wireless LAN and Bluetooth 5.0 are standard equipment. There are also 4 USB terminals in total, Type-C and Type-A, and the USB Type-C terminal also supports Power Delivery (PD), and supports general-purpose USB PD with an output of 65W or more. AC adapter/mobile battery can also be used (only genuine products are guaranteed to work).
However, the 65W output AC adapter is small and weighs only about 234g including the cable, making it easy to carry around.
There is a recess in the center of the front that makes it easy to open the LCDThere is an exhaust port on the backOn the left side is a 3.5mm headphone/headset, USB 3.0, USB 2.0 (both Type-A), and wired LAN terminals are lined up. There is a security lock slot on the far side for connecting an anti-theft wireOn the right side are USB Power Delivery compatible USB 3.0 (Type-C), USB 3.0 (Type-A), HDMI output, Terminals such as DC input (AC adapter) are providedContinuing, let's check around the keyboard and upgrade from the standard Windows 10 Home 64bit to Windows 11.
