Chapter 1622: An all-in-one machine that was launched too early

Views:

Perhaps many companies don't pay much attention to aRM technology for the time being, but in a few years it will be discovered that microprocessors using aRM technology will monopolize the market. Tianlai NovelWw『W.⒉3TXT. COM

Of course, since they are manufactured by different companies, aRM will not be accused of monopoly and can just keep making money.

Just like Aizhuo in its previous life, it was completely the leader in the smartphone operating system and tablet operating system industries, occupying more than 90% of the market share. Except for Fruit and Microsoft, almost everyone else was defeated by them.

But they have not been accused of monopoly because they have opened up part of their source code, allowing any company to produce a system with their system as the core, as well as various application software.

The reason why Feng Yu is not worried about Microsoft's smartphone system surpassing theirs is also because of this. He is waiting for the Hos system to be semi-public after the fruit company launches a smartphone. Anyway, the basic code of the hos system itself comes from the free LInux system.

At that time, each company will develop a variant operating system based on hos, which will be their own operating system. But no matter which manufacturer it is, it must abide by the standards of HOS, and even Xiangyinshan can charge a little patent licensing fee.

In this way, it will be very easy to attract other manufacturers to join our company with more favorable conditions. At that time, Microsoft and Fruit Company, which would never disclose their source code, would slowly be thrown away by them.

During this period, both Lianxiang Group and Lianxiang Yinshan were very busy. They knew that half a step ahead could bring huge profits.

In addition, Liu Chuanzhi also attaches great importance to this. Even during this period, he was always in charge of Lianxiang Group, which made Lianxiang Group's technology research faster than before.

Lianxiang Group not only launched a new generation of all-in-one computers, but also launched a new generation of audio and video notebooks.

However, after reading it, Feng Yu felt that this all-in-one machine at this time was a bit useless. The simplest point is that the price/performance ratio is not high.

The configuration is not high, but the price is not low. The only advantage may be that it saves space.

Sure enough, after this new generation of all-in-one machine was launched, sales were not very good. Except for some government purchases, almost no one personally buys this.

At the same price, you can buy a good laptop. In addition to having a larger screen, what else is better about this all-in-one computer than a laptop

If a desktop computer is also equipped with a large LCD screen and is in this price range, its performance will be much higher.

Only political units that are not short of money will purchase such useless products. In the previous life, many people said that the boot time was two and a half minutes, and it actually defeated one percent of the computers in the country. Those one percent were in school computer rooms, corporate offices, and the like.

There are actually a lot of tricks here. To give a relatively simple example, the government can only purchase domestic brands of computers with the same configuration, so there are not many choices.

However, domestic brands, or even the same domestic brand, may have different agents and different bidding conditions. For example, a so-called data confidentiality clause can increase the price of a computer by thousands of dollars.

What is a data confidentiality clause? It's like a warranty. However, when repairing, they will replace the parts with new ones in front of you, and then return the replaced parts to you. Under normal circumstances, only the hard drive is covered.

How much money can you make by replacing a hard drive? Even if there are some secrets in Zhengaxe's hard drive, is it possible that among the many computer professionals recruited by Zhengaxe, none of them know how to replace the hard drive

Therefore, computers in general government agencies have a longer service life than other companies and individuals. Even if they are obviously too old, they still need to be used until they are scrapped!

"Old Liu, I've said it before, don't be too anxious to promote this all-in-one machine, don't be too anxious to expand production. Many foreign companies buy it, but it doesn't mean we can sell it here. You have also seen the performance parameters. I can't say it is particularly bad, but The price/performance ratio is also very low, right?”

Liu Chuanzhi sighed: "Fortunately, I asked for your opinion first and didn't produce too much, otherwise it would have caused a backlog of products."

"Don't worry about this. Wei's processor performance will continue to improve, and new product architectures will also appear. By then, this all-in-one computer will be slowly accepted by users and slowly replace traditional desktop computers."

"You know that SSD solid state drive? When used in an all-in-one computer, it can greatly improve the performance. In the all-in-one computer, it is better not to use mechanical hard drives in the future. Anyway, the user group you are targeting does not need to store too much. document."

SSD solid-state drive is a technology upgraded from flash drives. It is a new hard drive used to replace traditional mechanical hard drives. It is also the development direction of hard drives in the future according to Feng Yu.

Solid-state drives have many advantages over mechanical hard drives. Data protection is not subject to power control, they are faster in reading and writing, and are not easily damaged, etc.

The most intuitive point is that the boot speed of a PC using a solid-state drive is half that of a mechanical hard drive, or even less.

Of course, limited to current flash memory technology, the solid-state drives that can currently be mass-produced are only 32g and 64g, and they are expensive. 32g solid-state drives are much more expensive than traditional 8og mechanical hard drives, but the storage space is more than half smaller.

Excluding the space occupied by the system, etc., there is not much space left for users.

However, according to the level of technological updates at this time, larger-capacity solid-state drives will soon be mass-produced, but they also have the disadvantage of being expensive.

But in this way, excluding the 2og reserved for the system, the remaining space is enough for general office use. If you think the space is small, you can buy a mobile hard drive. The price of a 16og mechanical mobile hard drive is only a few hundred yuan. Compared with the price of a computer, it is still acceptable to many users.

If it still feels too small, there are also 32og mobile hard drives for sale.

Nowadays, mainstream desktop computers only have 16og mechanical hard drives, and 32og ones are high-end. And laptops with 16og hard drives are already high-end.

Hearing Feng Yu's words, Liu Chuanzhi shook his head: "With the use of solid-state drives, wouldn't the cost-effectiveness become even lower? Let's do this for now. The all-in-one machine project will be slowed down for a while. We will still make more on notebooks. Let’s make a breakthrough. The price-performance ratio is our biggest impression on users, and we can’t let them down anymore.”

The issue of cost performance is indeed the main issue affecting the sales of all-in-one machines this time, but with the improvement of technology, these will be solved.

It’s okay to put this all-in-one computer project on hold for now. It’s not yet time for the traditional desktop computer market to shrink.

But the focus is on the notebook, which Feng Yu still disagrees with. The focus should be on the research and development of tablet computers, which will bring huge profits!
