Indispensable "desktop" ritual sense

Some people say that when we are in the prime of life, we should try vigorously even if we have a wild idea. Experience life, enjoy life and enjoy life in your own unique way. This is exactly the quality that young people who are full of energy and unrestrained and unrestrained should have. It is not hard to find that "desktop" has always been a topic that everyone is keen to explore and discuss. A desktop can carry many things. It is responsible for people's daily work, learning and entertainment. It is a physical platform that you and I need. Proper desktop layout can not only improve work efficiency, but also add a sense of ritual to life.

If you want to arrange properly in a limited space, you need to start from the original whole, and delete the complicated and simplify according to the requirements of space or function under the condition of retaining the overall logic. As the core component of the "desktop", the computer is firmly in the first place. It is particularly important to choose a computer that suits you, because it will get along with you day and night and become the most important work partner in your life.

——Is Mini PC also suitable for you?

Like all scientific and technological products, Mini PC also bears the painstaking efforts of countless technical R & D personnel, and is the lifelong pursuit of all product designers. Based on the design of traditional desktop and notebook, the Mini PC has made drastic changes. While retaining excellent performance, it also integrates rich interfaces into the compact body.

The new generation A2-5900HX is endowed with unique design elements. The whole machine adopts a square metal structure with clear edges and corners, which can give you the greatest visual impact in the first time. When you first meet, you may feel a shock in your heart. Is this 198 * 198 * 48mm "little guy" in front of you really a computer?

The simple color matching and lightweight shape give A2 the opportunity to make a figure in various fields and provide a rich use scene for mini PC.

A large area of cooling holes are arranged around the A2 fuselage. Thanks to the advanced 7nm process of AMD 5900HX standard pressure processor, combined with the synchronous cooling of fans and copper tubes, the fuselage still maintains a cool feel and stable quiet operation under moderate and light intensity use.

Interfaces are available: 2 USB 3.0, 4 USB 2.0, multi-function type-C * 1, HDMI 2.0 * 1, dp1.4 * 1, Gigabit network port * 1, 3.5mm audio interface * 1 (compatible with microphone input), DC power interface * 1.

The wireless network configuration supports WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.1. It also supports three screen display output, which is sufficient to correspond to various productivity scenarios.

A2 integrates the characteristics of compact body, strong performance, ultra-low power consumption and rich interfaces. In terms of performance, A2 can play most popular games with 1080p image quality, while PS and office can give full play to their characteristics of silence and low power consumption. Among them, the excellent performance of AMD's new generation Ryzen 9 5900HX standard voltage processor can be attributed. In terms of single core performance, the performance of the Ryzen 9 5900HX is even close to that of the desktop version of the core i7-12700H, and the strong performance is directly "full".

If your budget is in the range of 750 $and you want to start an all-round model for daily office, 4K audio and video, and popular online games, you may consider the A2-5900HX with high cost performance.

——Talk about performance

As the core hardware of computer, the function of CPU processor is self-evident. Its importance is just like that of the brain to people, because it is responsible for processing and computing all the data inside the computer, while the motherboard chipset is more like the heart, which controls the exchange of data. The type of CPU determines the operating system and corresponding software you use. CPU is mainly composed of arithmetic unit, controller, register group and internal bus. It is the core of PC, and it is combined with memory, I / O interface and system bus to form a complete PC.

AMD ryzen R9-5900HX standard pressure plate is an 8-core 16 thread processor. It adopts Cezanne (Zen 3) architecture and 7 nm process. The frequency of six cores is 3.3GHz to 4.6ghz, the three-level cache is 16.00 MB, the TDP power consumption is 45W, and it supports ddr4-3200 and lpddr4-4266 memory. In terms of GPU, AMD radeon 8 graphics (Renoir) has a main frequency of 1.9GHz.

——How does A2 Mini PC perform on the game?

When running a game, the CPU needs to calculate the actions, movements, collisions, interactions, etc. in the game, calculate the scenes that need feedback, and send the relevant data to the graphics card. After receiving the required data, the graphics card renders the picture, including scene changes, light and shadow changes, actions of any person and various special effects, which are all completed in the graphics card and then transmitted to the display. Each game has different dependence on CPU and GPU. If you want a smooth game, the higher the hardware configuration, the better.

AMD Ryzen 9-5900hx adopts 1.9GHz radeon 8 graphics (Renoir) core graphics card. At 1080p resolution, most online games in the market can run smoothly. Trapped by the upper limit of collective and explicit capabilities, if you want to maintain the visual smoothness of the game, you can only compromise on the image quality of the game. The epic works in steam should be handed over to an independent graphics card.

——What is the difference of "WiFi 6"?

In addition to the common 2.4GHz and 5GHz, WiFi 6 adds a 6GHz band, providing an additional spectrum of up to 1200 MHz. It operates on the 6GHz band through 14 additional 80MHz channels and 7 additional 160MHz channels, providing higher capacity, higher bandwidth speed and lower delay. WiFi 6 is not perfect. Referring to the characteristics of 2.4GHz and 5GHz, 2.4GHz has a long range and a slow speed, while 5GHz has a fast speed but a short range. From this, it can be seen that the range of 6GHz is shorter than that of 5GHz, the speed is faster, and it is not subject to downward overlapping interference.

If you want to experience the pleasure of 6GHz network, you need to be closer to your computer and router, and your router needs to support WiFi 6 to work properly.

How about the DIY upgrade space of A2-5900HX?

The A2-5900HX provides two ddr4-3200 memory module slots, which can support up to 64GB of dual channel memory. The sales version provides 16GB / 32GB memory specifications.

In terms of storage, A2-5900HX has an M 2 2280 nvme SSD interface and a 2.5-inch sata3 interface can be installed with two hard disks, and the maximum support is 2TB + 2TB storage combination.

The hardware upgrade difficulty coefficient is 0, and the computer new comer can be easily competent. Just remove the four screws at the bottom of the body and insert the corresponding memory and hard disk into the card slot to complete the upgrade.

——Talk about my personal home application scenario

HTPC (home theater computer)

HTPC is mainly responsible for daily 4K movies and various online video playback. One thing to note is that run H 265, hevc, x265 keyword movies will prompt the lack of codec, Google search hevc plug-in can be done. The a2-5900hx plays 4K movies quite smoothly. However, since 4K movies are often dozens of GB, it is recommended to install a 2.5-inch SSD hard disk (the maximum support is 2TB), which has become a necessity.

Home mini office platform

Word and PS are the most commonly used software in my daily life. If I am engaged in professional work, office and adobe family bucket are indispensable. Thanks to the advanced 7-nanometer system technology of Ruilong 9 5900hx standard pressure processor, A2's noise and heat dissipation performance are perfect under low and medium intensity working conditions. The noise is controlled below 50dB, and the body surface is cold.

Home server

The common functions of the home server include: Home NAS, downloader, multimedia center, web server, smart home control center, etc., among which NAS is the most commonly used.

A2-5900hx Mini PC is a good choice as a home server. In fact, the threshold for building a personal server is not high. Only one UPS is required. After the hardware is ready, it is recommended to install the Ubuntu system, and then set up the network and deploy the application. There are many video tutorials on the Internet, so I won't repeat them here.

——"A2-5900HX" is placed in a ceremonial manner

The table top of A2-5900HX is extremely free to be placed horizontally or vertically. The charm of minimalism has no barrier, and everyone is eager to have a comfortable desktop. "Hanging" -- it is a perfect interpretation of practical space. It cleverly hides the PC behind the screen, leaving the unimportant complexity behind.

A2-5900HX shows a wave of pragmatism in desktop space. As an important partner in work, it may not be a perfect device, but it is nearly perfect. It has achieved a good balance in hardware, appearance and price.

As for whether the price of 750$ is worth buying, it still needs a clear understanding and consideration of the Mini PC!
