Otherwise, why not buy a bigger screen, better performance, and better heat dissipation? Good desktop?


Continuation of Raytheon 911 series of classic design, dark gray aluminum alloy casing is still clear, simple but without losing domineering


Reduced version of the Raytheon logo looks more refined, of course, after the boot will also have "T-type" red light


As always, black wind, "THUNDEROBOT" logo is still obvious


Raytheon Cannon ST game this machine thickness is only 24.7CM, although the A surface is a stamped metal material, but the overall weight is still less than 2KG.

Details Appearance: Add VR ready interface


Conclusion first: If you say that in 2016 the most popular, then VR definitely deserved. In the first year of VR, all major technology vendors did not want to touch the VR field. Among them, the best experience is based on PC-based VR products. However, PCs that can drive these VR helmets are rare. According to market research firm Gartner, the total number of computers in use in the world in 2016 was 1.43 billion, of which less than 1% of computers support high-end VR devices. Our Raytheon cannon contains VR connection interface, namely VR ready interface.


The real property of the VR interface carried by Raytheon Cannon ST is the USB 3.1 Type-C interface. In fact, as long as the processor, video card and other hardware configuration can catch up, then the USB 3.1 Type-C interface can become the VR connection interface. In addition, after both GeForce and AMD launched the GeForce GTX VR Ready and Radeon VR Ready plans, PC makers including Raytheon naturally kept pace with the two video card makers, and Raytheon became the Raytheon VR. This product line supports one of the PCs.

Parameter configuration: Put the GTX 965M alone into the 14 inch body


Conclusion First: The biggest highlight of Raytheon Cannon's ST game is to pack an ultra-thin 14-inch body with an Nvidia GTX 965M graphics card (GTX965M measured 47% better performance than GTX960), achieving a light and thin portable and high-cold performance. Perfect fusion. GTX 965M graphics card as the flagship video of Nvidia's mobile terminal, has a high cost performance and superior core performance.


The GTX 965M is equipped with Nvidia's latest Maxwell flagship core GM204. From a performance point of view, the GTX 965M has a better architecture, benchmark, and gaming performance even slightly higher than the GTX 870M. Most newer 3D games can be resolved at high quality and 1080p resolution. The rate of smooth running; from the power point of view, GTX 965M with a new framework, in the energy consumption ratio is extremely outstanding; from the price, equipped with a GTX 870M game compared to the game equipped with the GTX 965M, the former most All of them are in the range of 8,000-10,000 yuan. While other hardware configurations are even and even better, the price of the latter can be within 7,000 blocks.
