The C315 Blitz is an entry-level to midrange thin-and-light multimedia computer from Eurocom according to the Clevo X170KM chassis design. SKUs vary between the Core i5-1340P or Core i7-1360P with both a 1080p or 2160p (4K) show. Our particular evaluation unit is a higher-end configuration with the Core i7 and 4K choices.
Possible choices to the C315 Blitz come with different 15.6-inch multimedia or place of business laptops just like the Acer Aspire 5 A515 or Asus VivoBook S15.
Extra Eurocom critiques:
The chassis stays similar to ultimate yr’s Schenker Paintings 15 as each are according to the similar X170KM chassis. Observe that best some of the two USB-C ports helps Thunderbolt, USB-C charging, and DisplayPort-out.
Despite the fact that Eurocom advertises a 2 MP webcam, the Home windows digicam app best lets in you to make a choice as much as 1 MP or 720p30 recording at a most.
The usual one-year restricted guaranty applies if bought in america. Eurocom provides not obligatory extension plans of as much as 3 years.
Our Eurocom configuration sports activities a better answer 4K panel than the 1080p panel on our Schenker. On the other hand, black-white reaction occasions have no longer advanced and so ghosting stays noticeable. Sadly, the C315 Blitz provides no choices with HDR, complete DCI-P3, AdobeRGB protection or panels with increased refresh charges.
The display on our particular evaluation unit suffers from excessive backlight bleeding alongside the ground edge as proven via the images under. We suggest double-checking your purchases to make certain that there are not any display problems.
The show does no longer come pre-calibrated. On the other hand, Eurocom provides calibration products and services as not obligatory for customers who do not need get entry to to colorimeters. We are ready to get moderate deltaE values right down to <2 with our personal X-Ceremony colorimeter.
We set Home windows to Efficiency mode previous to working the benchmarks under. The device contains no specialised “regulate heart” device for adjusting any auxiliary options or further chronic profiles.
The Core i7-1360P is a bit of of a blended bag. On one hand, it provides an identical efficiency to the older and extra stressful Core i7-11370H within the Schenker Paintings 15. However however, it falls wanting possible choices just like the Core i7-1355U or Ryzen 7 5700U. It additionally suffers from throttling as our preliminary CineBench R15 xT ranking of 1079 issues would drop via about 21 % when working the benchmark in a loop.
The Core i7 CPU is indubitably underperforming on our Eurocom. The Core i5-1340P within the Samsung Galaxy Book3 Professional 360 16, as an example, would run 50 to 70 pervcent sooner in line with a number of multi-thread benchmarks.
PCMark effects are necessarily similar to the Schenker Paintings 15 working at the older and extra power-demanding Core i7-11370H.
LatencyMon finds DPC problems when opening a couple of browser tabs of our homepage. 4K video playback at 60 FPS is superb with simply two dropped frames recorded throughout a one-minute timespan.
Our unit ships with a high-end Samsung 990 Professional promising sequential learn and write charges of as much as 7450 MB/s and 6900 MB/s, respectively. The pressure in our unit is in a position to maintain a most of 7100 MB/s without a throttling problems. The incorporated thermal pad at the SSD lets in warmth to burn up onto the steel backside plate.
The built-in Iris Xe 96 EUs is acting quite under moderate when in comparison to different laptops with the similar GPU. Actually, our Schenker Paintings 15 with the older Core i7-11370H would go back increased 3DMark ratings than our Eurocom in spite of their an identical GPUs.
Fan noise conduct wishes further tuning. When attached to mains, the fan would once in a while pulse between silent and 35 dB(A) even if idling on desktop on Energy Saver mode. Handiest when working on battery chronic will the fan stay silent without a useless pulsing. In a different way, fan noise when working stressful quite a bit like video games is sort of similar to what we seen at the Schenker Paintings 15 with the older Core H-series CPU.
Floor temperatures are a bit of cooler on moderate than what we seen at the Schenker Paintings 15. When working stressful quite a bit, as an example, scorching spots close to the rear of the chassis would best succeed in 35 C to 38 C in comparison to 43 C at the Schenker.
When beginning Prime95 pressure, the CPU would spice up to two.4 GHz, 47 W, and 85 W for only some seconds sooner than falling and stabilizing at 800 MHz – 1.3 GHz, 15 W, and 65 W. The steep efficiency drop aligns with our CineBench R15 xT loop effects above. We anticipated higher efficiency sustainability for the reason that Core P-series is meant to be a step in between the slower U-series and extra robust H-series, however its conduct in our Eurocom is conventional of maximum U-series CPUs as an alternative.
Core temperature would stabilize at round 65 C when working stressful quite a bit in comparison to 78 C at the Schenker Paintings 15 with the older Core i7-11730H.
Idling on desktop would draw a couple of watts greater than at the Schenker Paintings 15 most likely because of our increased answer 4K show. On the other hand, intake can be about the similar on moderate when working increased quite a bit in spite of any efficiency or temperature variations between the Core i7-1360P and Core i7-11370H.
We are ready to file a most draw of 87 W from the small (~12.5 x 4.8 x 3 cm) 90 W AC adapter when the CPU is at one hundred pc usage. This call for is best brief sooner than throttling kicks in as proven via our chronic intake graphs under.
WLAN runtime is noticeably shorter than at the older Schenker Paintings 15 via over 2 hours. The discrepancy may also be attributed to our increased answer 4K show. Our Core-P CPU would additionally spice up to better clock charges and intake ranges than the older eleventh gen Core i7 to affect battery existence much more.
Charging from empty to complete capability takes simply over 90 mins.
The Core i7-1360P is helping to differentiate the Eurocom C315 Blitz from maximum different laptops as this CPU choice is slightly unusual. Sadly, the processor throttles too closely at the Eurocom to the purpose the place general efficiency may also be similar to the Core i7-11370H and even slower than the more cost effective Core i5-1340P. The LG Gram 2-in-1 16, which ships with the similar Core i7-1360P choice, is in a position to run the CPU as much as 80 % sooner than our Eurocom.
The Eurocom C315 Blitz is dragged down via the throttle-prone Core i7-1360P CPU and loss of show choices.
Different main facets of the fashion are missing with regards to options. The 4K panel, as an example, provides no DCI-P3 colours, excessive refresh charges, or HDR toughen which sure execs or multimedia customers would possibly price. Battery existence and webcam high quality also are simply moderate or underwhelming.
The Clevo X170KM base may just indisputably use a facelift with further efficiency tuning, fan noise tuning, and show options particularly while you imagine the $1300 USD beginning value. The $1000 to $1500 vary is already extraordinarily aggressive on this area with skilled choices just like the Lenovo ThinkPad L15, HP ProBook, or the Dell Latitude sequence.
Eurocom is now transport the C315 Blitz beginning at $1300 USD for the bottom configuration to over $2500 if configured with 64 GB of RAM and a 1 TB SSD like ours.
