DevilTech Fragbook (Ivy Bridge) 笔记本测评

At the end of last year, the German hardware manufacturer Deviltech brought their Deviltech Fragbook out on the market. The benefits of this were obvious: Gamers could configure the device themselves through the online store, while enjoying devilishly good prices. The company was asking for only 1235 Euro (~$1600) for the notebook. Today we are testing the device under the same name but with the inclusion of the Intel Core i7-3610QM, a processor from the Ivy Bridge generation. Together with the Nvidia GeForce GTX 675M and 8GB DDR3 RAM, decent gaming performance should be achievable. But the competition is will put up a good fight. Medion's Erazer X7817 with its good screen, fine hardware features and a slightly weaker graphics card comes with a price tag of around 1150 Euro (~$1500) which makes it one of the front runners for a decent gaming system. And there is also competition from the same country, namely Schenker, which offers the XMG P712-1AM Pro for 1400 Euro (~$1800), which is a very similarly featured device with the same CPU and GPU. And finally, you have One GameStar Notebook Pro 17 from a publisher of gaming magazines, GamesStar that offers the machine for about 50 Euro less. So the question if the Deviltech product is relevant in the face of such competition and still appeal to the consumer.

在去年年底，德国五金的制造商Deviltech带来了他们Deviltech Fragbook的市场上。这样做的好处是显而易见的：玩家可以设定自己的设备通过网上商店，同时享受无比邪恶的好价钱。该公司要求的笔记本只有1235欧元（〜$ 1600）。今天，我们正在测试的设备相同的名称，但包含的英特尔酷睿i7-3610QM处理器的Ivy Bridge世代。与Nvidia的GeForce®（精视™）GTX6.75亿和8GB DDR3内存，不错的游戏性能应该是可以实现的。但竞争是好打的。 Medion公司的Erazer X7817凭借其良好的屏幕，优良的硬件功能和略显疲软的图形卡，其价格大约1150欧元（约1500元），这使得它一个体面的游戏系统的领跑者之一。也有来自同一个国家，即全球国际货运代理，它提供了XMG P712-1AM Pro为1400欧元（〜$1800），这是一个非常具有相似功能的设备使用相同的CPU和GPU的竞争。最后，你有一个GameStar游戏笔记本临17的游戏杂志出版商，GamesStar，提供约50欧元以下的机器。所以，问题，如果Deviltech产品是在面对这样的竞争有关，仍然吸引消费者。

Experts in the mobile gaming sector are familiar with the case of the Deviltech Fragbook: This is a barebone from MSI, which is used for a variety of other notebooks from various manufacturers.  It is not surprising to find that GameStar is also selling notebooks using the same platform. The MSI MS-1762 is also used in the Medion Erazer X7817, the MSI GT70 and the One M73-2N and for this reason, we are going to be brief on the case. 

While the overall look does appear quite cheap due to the almost continuous use of plastic, it does allow for some small design elements such as the silver speakers and the on/off button which try to break the monotonous pattern. Around the display and the keyboard you will unfortunately find a piano-black surface finish, which gathers fingerprints and becomes extremely difficult to keep free off fingerprints. In terms of stability and workmanship, the barebone is convincing for the most part. One exception may be found with the power buttons where the case can be easily deformed. Furthermore, the display lid can not really be called rigid.

As in other reviews, we eventually end up praising the overall matte black case, which (aside from the piano finish elements) doesn't give fingerprints a chance. Between the pair of silver speakers you will find a whole row of touch-sensitive buttons which offer a diverse range of functions from fan-boost to opening the DVD-RW optical drive. Admittedly, the buttons are to some extent confusing like in the case of the button for activating the WLAN reminding us of the GPS symbol on some mobile phones. We would recommend that you try it out and get used to it.  What should still be noted however, is the button for the so-called "CoolerBoost" which makes the fan run at full speed, even if the notebook is under minimal stress. This is of course to cool down the case during instances of gaming that overloads the system and generates a lot of heat. The workmanship can be considered decent with only the keyboard area showing some assembly issues in the form of a noticeable gap in its seating position with the frame.  

The notebook (including the battery) weighs 3.655 kg (~8.06lb.) which is typical for a gaming notebook of these proportions. The Deviltech Fragbook isn’t really meant to be moved around. At LAN parties and similar events the troublesome weight is around a kilo to heavy. You can never forget the gigantic power adapter that powers this gaming machine. The notebook itself is anything but compact, with the thickest part of the case measuring 4.4 cm (~1.7 in) high which makes the search for a matching backpack a little more difficult.  All of these disadvantages are naturally something that all gamers have to deal with when buying any ‘gaming notebook’.

在手机游戏领域的专家熟悉的Deviltech Fragbook的情况下，这是一个来自微星的准系统，用于其他各种来自不同制造商的笔记本电脑。 GameStar游戏也正在销售的笔记本电脑使用相同的平台，这是不奇怪的发现。的MSI MS-1762也可用于在麦迪Erazer X7817，MSI GT70和M73-2N因为这个原因，我们将要介绍的情况下。

虽然整体看上去似乎挺便宜的，因为几乎不间断使用的塑料，它允许一些小的设计元素，如银色的扬声器和开/关按钮，尝试打破单调模式。显示屏和键盘周围，不幸的是，你会发现一个黑色钢琴烤漆的表面光洁度，收集指纹和变得非常困难，保持关闭指纹。在稳定性和做工方面，准系统是最有说服力。可能会发现有一个例外的情况下可以很容易变形的电源按钮。此外，显示屏盖不能真正被称为刚性的。

至于其他的评论，我们最终结束了赞扬，整个磨砂的黑色外壳，（除钢琴烤漆元素）不给指纹的机会。对银扬声器之间，你会发现提供多元化开放的DVD-RW光盘驱动器的风机升压功能的触摸式感应按键，一整排的。诚然，按钮是在一定程度上的按钮的情况下，像在混淆用于激活提醒我们一些手机上的GPS符号的WLAN。我们建议你尝试一下，要去适应它。还是应该注意什么，是所谓的“CoolerBoost”，这让风扇全速运行按钮，即使是最小的压力下，如果笔记本电脑。这是当然要降温的情况下，在游戏系统超载，并产生了大量的热量的实例。只示出某些组件的问题明显的间隙的形式，在其与框架的座椅位置的键盘区，，做工可以考虑体面。

笔记本电脑（含电池）的重量3.655千克（〜8.06磅。），这是典型的游戏笔记本，这些比例。 Deviltech Fragbook是不是真的意味着可以到处移动。在局域网和类似的事件，麻烦的重量大约是一公斤重。你永远不能忘了巨大的电源适配器，这个游戏的机器。笔记本电脑本身是什么，但结构紧凑，具有4.4厘米（约1.7英寸）高，这使得搜索匹配的背包有点难度的情况下测量最厚的部分。所有的这些缺点是自然的东西，所有的玩家都购买任何游戏笔记本“时处理。

Just one look at the designated name of the display reveals that it is the barebone's typical, which should be recognized by a lot of people - the Chi Mei N173HGE-L11 display. We have already measured above average test results in previous laptops. The Display is also utilized by the One M73-2N and the MSI GT70, with only the Erazer X7817 being different with an alternative from AUO. We will however also use the latter for comparing the results. One big advantage of the screen is that the Chi Mei N173HGE-L11 has a matte surface. This means that annoying reflections, especially when outside, should be avoided. A second choice for configuring your display, like many other manufacturers offer, is not available for the Deviltech Fragbook in the online shop.

只要一看显示在指定的名称表明，它是准系统的典型，应了很多人的认可 - 奇美N173HGE-L11显示器。我们已经测得高于平均水平的测试结果，在以前的笔记本电脑。显示器也使用了M73-2N和MSI GT70，只有Erazer X7817与友达的替代。进行比较的结果，我们将但是也可以使用后者。的屏幕是一大优势，奇美N173HGE-L11采用了磨砂表面。这意味着，恼人的反射，尤其是当外，应避免。您的显示器的配置，像许多其他制造商提供的第二个选择，是不可为Deviltech Fragbook在网上开店。

While a matte display is the solution for undisturbed work outdoors, a display should also have a brightness somewhere over 200 cd/m². This is the case with our test model despite production variancies. Within our test of the Metro 2033 benchmark, the low luminance was generally clear to notice. Identifying objects in the dark tunnels was difficult and therefore caused unnecessary delay to the game flow. Therefore we conducted our test indoors (under bright lights) and not out on the balcony.

So long as game scenes are designed brighter, there shouldn't be any problems with the display. Despite a matte display, the gameplay is difficult to follow when direct sunlight or bright surroundings are a factor. Whoever happens to have an external (and bigger) monitor shouldn't be worrying to much about this stuff anyway. Besides the negatives, our special case Chi Mei Display with reduced brightness does have an important roll in our observations.

虽然雾面显示屏是不受干扰的在户外工作的解决方案，显示也应该有一个亮度超过200坎德拉/平方米。这是我们的测试模型尽管生产variancies，。在我们地铁2033基准测试中，低亮度一般清除的注意。确定在黑暗的隧道中的对象是困难的，因此引起不必要的延误的游戏流程。因此，我们进行我们的测试在室内明亮的灯光下，而不是在阳台上。

只要游戏场景的设计，明亮的，不应该有任何显示问题。尽管雾面显示屏，游戏是困难时，直射的阳光或明亮的环境是一个因素。谁不应该担心反正这个东西很多，刚好有一个外部的（大）显示器。除了底片，特殊情况下蚩每降低亮度的显示在我们的观察中，有一个重要的轧辊。

Now on to what is most important for the laptop’s target audience – the Gaming benchmarks. The installed hardware has already promised good performance, but the question remains, especially in regards to current titles, whether they can be effectively played in ultra-high or at least high detail settings.  We will find out if the throttling observed on the GPU directly affects the gaming results.

现在什么是最重要的笔记本电脑的目标受众 - 游戏基准。安装的硬件已经答应不错的表现，但问题仍然存在，尤其是在目前的标题方面，是否可以有效地发挥在超高或至少高细节的设置。我们会发现，，如果节流观察GPU直接影响到游戏结果。

We start by taking things slow. The racing game F1 2011 with minimal settings is still playable with the integrated Intel HD 4000. Therefore the GTX 675M can also run it problem free with these settings - 147 fps speaks for itself. With maximum settings the virtual racer still runs with an average of 47 fps and doesn't suffer from any lag. 

首先，我们考虑的事情缓慢。用最少的设置的赛车游戏F1 2011仍然播放与集成的英特尔HD 4000。因此，GTX6.75亿也可以运行使用这些设置问题 - 147 fps的不言自明。最大设置的虚拟赛车仍然运行，平均47 fps的，并不会受到任何滞后。

Piracy is not tolerated in the gaming industry. Nevertheless: The demanding (especially in high settings) Risen 2: Dark Waters still runs very smoothly with the GeForce GTX 675M. It is also important to note that our benchmark sequence is very hard on the GPU. Anyone who is not happy with even a single stutter will have to settle for 'just' the high detail setting.

在游戏行业，盗版是不能容忍的。然而的要求（特别是在高设置）上升2：黑暗水域仍然运行速度非常流畅，GeForce®（精视™）GTX6.75亿。同样重要的是要注意，我们的基准顺序是非常困难的GPU。任何人不开心，甚至一个单一的口吃，解决“仅仅”高细节设定。

The benchmarks for Batman: Arkham City did suprise us. Despite an activated GTX 675M, full performance and CoolerBoost, the game did not want to achieve anything higher that 82 fps with minimal settings. The Schenker XMG P702 Pro reached 138 fps in the same test.  Under maximum settings this gap closes between the two notebooks. The game is not really playable anymore with 27 fps. Therefore, gamers will be forced to use high settings and fight crime in Arkham at 46 frames per second. At this point it should also be mentioned that Arkham City measurements are the only divergent values within our benchmarks.

蝙蝠侠：阿甘之城的基准没有SUPRISE我们。尽管激活GTX6.75亿，性能和CoolerBoost，本场比赛并没有想要达到的任何东西，82 fps的最小设置。全球国际货运代理XMG P702临达到138 fps的，在相同的测试。在最大设定值，这两者之间的笔记本电脑关闭差距。本场比赛是不是真的可玩了以27 fps的。因此，玩家们将被迫在Arkham在每秒46帧，使用高设置和打击犯罪。在这一点上还应该提到，阿甘之城测量是唯一的发散我们的基准值内。

With minimum settings and a resolution of 1024x768 pixels, virtual soldiers march through the war zones of Battlefield 3 at 93 frames per second. It goes without saying that this doesn't quite fulfill the duties of a gaming notebook but what is interesting is the results for high and maximum settings. With the latter, the notebook has to wave a white flag reaching only 34 fps, meaning that you won't be getting much gaming fun at that speed. If you reduce the settings of the resolution, you get 53 fps (1366 x 768, u.a. 16x AF) with which you'll be able to hunt down the competition effectively and nothing in the virtual war should stand in your way.

以最小的设置，并通过战区的战地3在93帧每秒，分辨率为1024×768像素，虚拟士兵进行曲。不用说，这并不完全履行职责的游戏笔记本，但有趣的是高，最大的结果。对于后者，笔记本电脑有，挥动白旗达到只有34帧，这意味着，你将不会得到太多的游戏乐趣，在这样的速度。如果你减少了设置的分辨率，你会得到53帧（1366×768，UA16X AF），您将能够有效地追捕竞争，并没有在虚拟的战争应该站在自己的方式。

The gloomy atmosphere of Metro 2033 is not only demanding of gamers, but also of the hardware. Without a strong desktop graphics card or a mobile SLI solution, it is not really possible to run this game effectively with maximum settings. This is also true for the the Deviltech Fragbook. With 16 fps the game slowly mutates into a kind of slide show. With high settings the game runs more comfortably. Here we measured 47 fps which allows for smooth gameplay. The only real problem during this benchmark is the already mentioned, surprisingly dim display.

“地铁2033”的阴郁气氛不仅是游戏玩家的要求，但也的硬件。如果没有一个强大的桌面图形卡或移动的SLI解决方案，它是不是真的可以有效地运行这款游戏最大设置。这也是真正的Deviltech Fragbook。 16 fps的游戏中慢慢变异成一种幻灯片放映。高设置，游戏运行更舒适。在这里，我们测量47 FPS可以顺畅的进行游戏。在该基准是唯一真正的问题已经提到的，令

The open world game Sleeping Dogs is seen as, with good reason, serious competition to GTA. Next to the impressive story are the impressive graphics. One big draw back has to be accounted for. Anyone wanting to enjoy the game with maximum settings needs access to a high performance graphics card. The GTX 675M is beaten here with producing only 15 fps, and should essentially be the same for the competition. Smoother gameplay is possible with high settings. The story of the Triads is explored at 55 fps with a little bit of power left in the tank.

开放世界的游戏睡着的狗被看作是有很好的理由，严重的竞争GTA的。令人印象深刻的故事是令人印象深刻的图形。被占的一大缺点。任何人想要享受游戏的乐趣与最大设定值需要获得高性能的图形卡。 GTX6.75亿殴打，这里只有15帧，基本上应该是相同的竞争。流畅的游戏体验是可能的高设置。一点点的力量留在坦克是在55 fps的探索与黑社会的故事。

The throttling that came into play during our stress tests had no impact on normal gaming performance of the notebook. Minimum and medium settings were enough to achieve the necessary framerates for smooth gameplay. The performance of the card was similar to the others. Also, most new titles are usually played problem free on high settings. Slightly older games such as Skyrim can be played at maximum settings. For the price, the performance offered is definitely very good.

在我们的压力测试来发挥作用的限制，不影响正常的游戏性能的笔记本。最小和中等设置足够顺畅的进行游戏的帧率为实现必要的。该卡的性能和其他的类似。此外，大多数新的标题通常是发挥高设置的问题。年龄稍大的游戏，如天际可以发挥最大设置。对于价格，提供的性能绝对是非常不错的。

Noise Level

As usual with gaming notebooks, the fan in the newest generation of Deviltech Fragbooks is anything but quiet. In idle mode, the fan is audible measuring 35.8 dB, but this isn't annoying. The noise from the hard drive and the DVD drive do add to the sound level producing an audible hum. Also, vibrations on the wrist rests, like with its predecessor, are no longer there.

Under a heavy workload, the fan is clearly louder as we expected. With CoolerBoost activated, the Notebook is more than audible and becomes annoying with a noise level of 51 dB. Quiet scenes in games are no longer enjoyable with all the other noise going on. Despite everything, there are no whining or other annoying sounds. The fan behavior is more or less balanced and doesn't undergo unnecessary fluctuations in speed.

噪音水平

像往常一样与游戏笔记本电脑，风扇中的最新代的Deviltech Fragbooks，是任何东西，但安静的。在空闲模式下，风扇的声音测量35.8分贝，但是这是不讨厌的。从硬盘驱动器和DVD驱动器的噪音的声音产生的嗡嗡声。此外，在手腕上的振动休息，与它的前辈一样，已不再存在。

在繁重的工作中，风扇是清楚地大声正如我们的预期。随着CoolerBoost激活，笔记本电脑是多发声，并成为恼人的噪音水平为51分贝。安静的在游戏中的场景不再享有与所有其他的吵闹声。尽管所有这一切，没有任何抱怨或其他恼人的声音。风扇的行为是更多或更少的平衡和不发生不必要的波动速度。

The relatively loud, but still effective fan has one deciding advantage. Under heavy stress and in idle mode, the case is kept effectively cool. It reaches a maximum surface temperature of only 44.5 °C (at the bottom) near the fan vents while under a heavy load. In other places it reaches between 24 and 32.3 °C, meaning the bottom is kept comfortably cool and the same goes for the top side.

Also in idle mode, the surface temperature gives no reason to complain, staying between 23.2 and a maximum of 27.2 °C, which is well within the normal range. Of course the cooling system works at a loud volume to achieve this, but in return you have an effectively cooled laptop with the possibility of gaming with the notebook on your lap.

较大，但仍然有效的风扇有一个确定的优势。在沉重的压力下，在空闲模式下的情况下有效地保持凉爽。它达到最高表面温度只有44.5°C（底部），而在重负载下的风扇通风口附近。在其他地方，达到24和32.3°C之间，这意味着底部保持凉爽舒适，和同去的顶面。

此外，在空闲模式下，表面温度没有给出理由抱怨，停留在23.2和27.2°C，这是在正常范围内最大的。当然，冷却系统在大音量实现这一目标，但作为回报，你有一个有效的冷却笔记本电脑与笔记本电脑放在膝盖上，游戏的可能性。

We didn't observe any ground breaking results during our tests. The Deviltech product is priced slightly higher than the direct competition with the GameStar Notebook Pro 17, which at 1300 Euro (~$1700) is about 50 Euro cheaper. While the notebook is essentially the same, Deviltech offers a 2 year warranty, while with the One, gamers will have to settle for a one year warranty. Anyone willing to lay down a bit more money (1800 Euro/ $2300), can also find themselves with the Samsung Series 7 Gamer and the Schenker XMG P702 Pro. For this price, you get not only an SSD, but a different design. The Deviltech Fragbook's design is a matter of taste. Blame lies surely on the quite chunky dimensions, which makes it end up with a weight of 3.7 kg.

Now to the inner parts of the notebook. Despite some throttling during our stress tests,  the 3610QM together with the GTX 675M provides good performance.  Depending on the game, it surpassed its competition slightly, while staying behind in the 3DMark Vantage test. Anyone with a bit more money in their wallet should automatically upgrade to a solid state disk or simply order it with the notebook from the Deviltech online shop.

Unfortunately during our tests we found three problems which shouldn't be allowed to pass on to customers. Firstly, there was the lack of the multi touch drivers which were also not to be found on the included back up CD. The other problems were to do with the display and the battery where the former can probably be attributed to production variancies with the display manufacturer, and the latter was simply a defect.

The inbuilt sound system was not bad at all but it still couldn't really convince us that it was better than what was offered on the competition. Furthermore, the sound was partially hindered by the loud fan. People looking to play without headphones should eventually seek a quieter alternative.

Despite everything, games on a limited budget should like the Fragbook as it provides a good price to performance ratio. The processing is solid and the display with a full HD resolution is big enough and more importantly matte. Which company the gamer eventually decides on is still up for grabs, but the configuration options in the online shop are worth a look.

Update: Recently the Intel Core i7-3610QM has been removed from the Online shop. They have replaced it with the Intel Core i7-3630QM for the same price, which is only slightly different with about 100 MHz higher clock speed than the previously offered CPU.

我们没有看到任何突破性的结果，在我们的测试中。该Deviltech产品的售价略高于GameStar游戏笔记本临17，这是1300欧元（〜$ 1700）便宜约50欧元的直接竞争。虽然笔记本电脑在本质上是相同的，Deviltech提供2年的保修期，而与一号，玩家将有解决一年保修。任何人都愿意放下一点钱（1800欧元/ $ 2300），也可以发现自己与三星7系列的玩家，全球国际货运代理XMG P702临。对于这样的价格，你得到的不仅是SSD，但不同的设计。 ，Deviltech Fragbook的设计是一个品味的问题。惹的祸在于肯定相当矮胖的尺寸，这使得它的重量为3.7公斤。

现在的笔记本电脑的内部零件。在我们的压力测试，尽管有一些限制，3610QM与GTX 6.75亿提供良好的性能。根据不同的游戏，它超越了其竞争小，而留守在3DMark Vantage的测试。任何一点钱在他们的钱包自动升级到固态磁盘或简单地与笔记本电脑的Deviltech网上商店订购。

不幸的是，在我们的测试中，我们发现了三个问题不应该被允许传递给客户。首先，是缺乏多点触摸驱动程序，也不会被发现在所包含的备份CD。其中前者可以很可能归因于生产variancies与显示制造商中的显示和电池的其他问题是这样做，而后者则是简单的缺陷。

内置的音响系统是不是坏的，但它仍然无法真正说服我们，这是比提供的竞争。此外，声音部分被阻碍由响亮的风扇。最终找打，无需耳机的人应该寻求一个安静的选择。

尽管所有这一切，在预算有限的游戏喜欢的Fragbook，因为它提供了一个良好的价格性能比。处理固体和全高清分辨率的显示屏，足够大，并且更重要的是磨砂。公司的玩家的最终决定仍然是的争夺，但在网上开店的配置选项值得一看。

更新：近日，英特尔酷睿i7-3610QM从网上商店已被删除。他们已经取代了它与英特尔酷睿i7-3630QM以同样的价格，这是唯一略有不同，约100 MHz更高的时钟速度比以前提供的CPU。
