Design
The Pegasus comes with an unibody
design. That kind of design makes the laptop look slim. The LCD front cover
appears to be minimalist. When you open the laptop to see the workstation, the
minimalist impression starts to fade away. The design of the workstation looks
more futuristic with sharp corners. The speakers, which reside at the bottom of
LCD panel, are made terraces to make them face the users. Moves to its
keyboard, look at the picture above! You can see backlit installed under it, making your laptop look
sophisticated, especially in dark places. All in all, the design presents a
sophisticated and futuristic feel to the users.
Ports
The Pegasus has nine ports and one
slot. For transferring data, there are two USB 3.0, one USB 2.0, and one eSATA
ports. For audio, there is one headphone jack port. There is 1 RJ-45 LAN port
for wired Internet connectivity. The rests are one HDMI port, one external VGA
output port, and one DC in power supply port. One slot is for card reader.
Display
Equipped with a 15.6-inch full HD
TruDisplay IPS LED Backlit display, the Pegasus can show a marvelous picture
with well-balanced color saturation. The test is done by watching film trailers.
During the test, the display can present a high definition images. The detail
in the films can be seen clearly. When the video resolution is changed to a
full HD one, the details become much clearer than when it is still HD. In
conclusion, the Pegasus is a good laptop for multimedia purpose.
Audio
Two built-in speakers with Sound
Blaster Cinema 2 Technology become the power to present a clearly well-balanced
audio. It is tested by playing a metal song which is As I Lay Dying’s the Sound
of Truth. The guitar distortion really echoes the room when the song is played.
When the sound volume is at its peak, the audio does not harsh at all. Good
work, Xenom!
Keyboard and Touchpad

Keyboard and Touchpad are important
parts in a notebook. Without them, how can the notebook be used? Talking about
the futuristic-designed keyboard on the Pegasus, it can give you a comfortable
typing experience, since each button is soft when being pressed. The space of
each button is likely enough, not too far and not too close. Move to its
touchpad, the surface is soft and smooth. Swiping touchpad feels comfortable. Two
dedicated buttons on the touchpad are soft. Xenom
has done a good work in this important aspect.
Performance
Gaming laptop must be
high-performance. Talking about the performance, the Pegasus is equipped with sophisticated high-performance hardware.
They are a fourth generation Intel Core logic HM86 Express Chipset and an 8GB DDR3
RAM for processing unit. A 500GB HDD, which is upgradable up to 1TB, and a 128
mSATA SSD, which is upgradable up to 512GB for storage. The graphic processing
unit that is installed is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950M. This hardware combination
can present a good gaming experience. When it is tested to play CS Go, and Call
of Duty: Black Ops, the game can run smoothly. During the test, there are no
lags found at all. In conclusion, this gaming laptop can give a good gaming
experience.
Battery life
The battery life is what makes this
laptop worth owning. When it is fully charged, the battery of the Pegasus can
last up to four (for gaming) until eight hours (for simple tasks). In
conclusion, you don’t need to worry about the battery durability of this
powerful laptop.
Heat and Noise
During the test, the Pegasus produces
a bit much heat. It seems normal since all hardware that are installed are very
powerful. When the test is ended, the
temperature of its bottom body is a bit hot. Two Pegasus’ fan sounds loud when
the tasks performed by the notebook getting heavier, especially when gaming.
For a gaming laptop, it is still normal.
