"I once mentioned to you that we should produce a computer that is compact, powerful, and cheap. This computer will become our new profit growth point and allow us to truly become the No. 1 computer in the world."
"Mr. Feng, first of all, there is a paradox in what you said. With powerful functions, how can the price be cheap? With powerful functions, how can it be small in size?" Liu Chuanzhi said.
Feng Yu had mentioned it to him before, but he led someone to study it and found that it was simply impossible.
Feng Yu waved his hand: "Nothing is impossible. Did any of us think before that such a compact mobile phone can surf the Internet, send and receive emails, and take photos? You should know better than me how fast the IT industry is updating. .”
"The computer I'm talking about is called a tablet, which means it requires touch screen technology. We happen to be leading the world in touch screen research. It should be this big, with a screen of about eight to ten inches, and the buttons we designed It’s the same as touch-screen mobile phones, which should be as few as possible. There can be only one to three buttons on the front, and even the buttons can be made touch-sensitive.”
"This also requires very high screen resolution and other requirements. Coincidentally, our technology on LCD screens is also world-leading. Of course, this also requires a compact and powerful motherboard, including memory, hard drive, etc. , our technologies are all good.”
"Since we have these conditions, why can't we do it? Lao Liu, didn't Lianxiang make a product similar to IBM's ThinkPad? I remember that the screen can be rotated and turned into touch control, right? Now we need to Cancel the keyboard and integrate the motherboard and other necessary components with the screen, what’s impossible?”
"Didn't you also make an all-in-one computer? This is a small or micro all-in-one computer, and it has a touch screen."
After hearing Feng Yu's words, everyone felt that what Feng Yu said seemed to make sense. Isn't this a small all-in-one machine, or a super mobile phone.
"But what about the system? Although the PC system we studied is not particularly large, it still requires more than two gigabytes. Plus some other things, as well as system patches, etc., it takes up at least ten gigabytes of memory space. Such a size We can't make our machine thicker than a book, right?" Qiu Bojun asked.
"The system can be simplified. There is a big gap between our systems for PCs and smartphones, but they both use LINUX basic code, right? Why can't we make a system that is more powerful than the smartphone system, but weaker than the PC system? Woolen cloth?"
“My requirements for this tablet are that it can browse the Internet, send and receive emails, play games, listen to music, watch movies, view photos, log in to instant messaging software, etc. This is also the function used by most people. .[△网WwW.]As for office work, we have omitted the keyboard, so naturally this aspect is also omitted."
"We position this tablet for entertainment use, not for work. If you want to use it for work, you still have to buy a more powerful product. Of course, in the future, as our hardware and software continue to be upgraded, it is not impossible to use it for work."
"As for the issue of storage space you mentioned, we don't necessarily have to use mechanical hard drives. Why can't we use flash memory cards? I remember that our flash memory card technology has made rapid progress. Now we can produce 4G SD cards. So maybe next year, 8G and 16G flash memory cards have been successfully researched.”
"Do you think a 16G memory card is not enough for the functions I just mentioned? An 8G memory card is also sufficient, as long as we reserve a place that can support expansion cards."
Previous tablets had smaller memory when they first came out, so couldn’t they still be used normally
"Ahem, Mr. Feng, you may be too optimistic about our technology. Although our touch screen technology is very good, and the LCD screen technology is also very good, it is not so easy to combine them together. What's more, you The required screen is so large, even if it is only eight inches, the power consumption is very high." Xu Lihua said suddenly.
"No, I don't have an optimistic estimate, but we have to work hard in this direction. I know that it will be difficult to combine the two technologies, but it is not impossible, as evidenced by touch-screen mobile phones. As for power consumption, this transaction Let’s give it to Taihua Battery Company. This high-performance lithium battery is also the main direction of their current public relations. It can not only be used in our product, but can also be reduced and used in mobile phones.”
"One more thing, don't forget another product of Taihua Battery, the power bank. This is equivalent to a spare battery and can be charged, which is enough to improve the battery life of this product. The requirements for the first product may not be too high, but At the very least, I want to be able to watch the movie for two hours straight.”
If you can't finish watching a movie, then what a waste. Then the function of watching movies becomes just a decoration, isn't it
"Perhaps we can think of ways to reduce energy consumption in terms of CPU, graphics card, etc. It would be better if we could combine the CPU and graphics card." Yang Zhiyuan thought for a while and said.
Combined together, isn't this the product called APU produced by Chaowei in the previous life? It is also a product used by many game consoles, tablets, etc. later.
It not only has outstanding performance, low energy consumption, but also saves space.
"This is a good idea, Tianming, do you have any problems there?"
"No problem. We happen to have product research and development laboratories in China, and we are in an industrial park. We can cooperate to develop this product. I will report back to the superiors and sign a contract with Yingweida as soon as possible." Yi Tianming said.
"I still feel that since the screen technology is not outstanding enough, and the battery technology, hardware, etc. are not outstanding enough, we should still follow the notebook approach. Our products should be developed step by step rather than in one step." Liu Chuanzhi said with a frown. .
"And we also happen to be planning to research micro-all-in-one computers, which does not conflict with this project."
notebook? These functions are not the same as the low-end netbook functions in the previous life. They are also the main functions of many domestically produced copycat notebooks.
Since tablet computers are temporarily insufficient in technology, it is possible to make a low-priced netbook.
"What you say makes sense, so let's do what you want. The main features of our product are that it is cheap and compact, but it has the basic functions of a computer. But if you want to play large-scale online games, forget it."
"Mr. Feng, notebooks have always been positioned as high-end products. According to your requirements, the performance is definitely not high. Isn't it just lowering the grade?" Jiang Wanmeng asked with a frown.
"Different prices, targeting different markets. These are prepared for those young people with petty bourgeoisie. Young women and female college students are our main sales targets."
"When the notebook market is close to saturation in the future, the tablet computer we are studying will inevitably become a new growth point for the company's profits, and it will be the main growth point!"
