What is the heat & fan noise of the Surface Pro 3 super high performance tablet PC with Core i7 installed?



On 20th June 2014, Microsoft's keyboard tablet PC "Surface Pro 3"Was released in the United States. Surface Pro 3 is called tablet PC, it is lighter than any PC with Intel 4th generation Core series CPU, and the top model is also equipped with Core i 7 model, etc. Capability performance is origami, Microsoft's seriousness The hardware and expectations that can be seen increased. About the Core i7 model of Surface Pro 3, answers on simple questions such as "Is it possible to exhaust heat with thickness that cuts 1 cm?" Or "Is not the fan a blast?" Clearly in the review article It is getting.

Surface Pro 3 uses Intel Core i7 (Haswell) as opposed to a general tablet terminal adopting an ARM-based SoC, and adopts Windows 8.1 as the OS, thin and light notes than Ultrabook PC is a suitable hardware to compare with a super light notebook PC such as a MacBook Air rather than a tablet PC such as an iPad.


It is Surface Pro 3 which does not have the same performance as CPU and GPU, but because tablet PC size has high performance which is not comparable, it is thin as 0.91 cm "Will the waste heat be in time?" There was concern that it was not ". In response to this simple question, I borrowed Surface Pro 3 and reviewed its useNeowinI have concluded that "no problem at all".

According to Neowin's trial repo, "Since Surface Pro 3 is not fanless, it sounds like a fan if the fan rotates, but there are only a few scenes where the fan rotates to worry about the sound." And, as for this slight scene, it is cited when load is applied with benchmark software, when it is restarted by Windows Update, and so on.


Also, even when using Surface Pro 3 in tablet style, it is almost not the scene to feel the hot wind from the heat exhaust fins opened on the side of the main body.

In other words, Surface Pro 3 has exquisite CPU and GPU clock control for everyday use while hiding full power of Core i 7 that can be released in the scene of emergency, and 30% more efficient waste heat from Surface Pro 2 It is thought that by reducing the heat efficiently by the system, we reduce the fans' working situations themselves.

Furthermore, with regard to the degree of heating of the entire housing, in contrast with Ultrabook, in contrast with Ultrabook, using Photoshop for 10 minutes, it is hot enough to be placed on the knee, which is far more than Ultrabook In Surface Pro 3 which is thin and light, it is evaluated that it is only acceptable level of heat generation even when launching benchmark software or performing relatively heavy processing.


Actually, this is the movie when you started the benchmark software and rotated the fan of Surface Pro 3 fully. It is clear that the wind noise of a shear can not be said to be a bang.

Although it is nearly as light and thin as a notebook PC, the realization of Surface Pro 3 which cleared the waste heat / noise problem while at the same time realizing high spec that does not impair the functionality as a Windows 8.1 notebook PC at all, According to Neoin 's evaluation, it is distinctive pattern.

In addition, the expected release date of Surface Pro 3 in Japan, Core i 7 and i 5 are July 17, Core i 3 is August.
