Chapter 1583: One Machine Early on the Horse

Perhaps many companies are temporarily undervaluing ARM technology, but in a few years, it will be discovered that microprocessors that use ARM technology will monopolize the market.

Of course, because they are manufactured by different companies, ARM will not be charged with monopoly, just make money.

Just like in previous generations, the owners of the smartphone operating system and tablet operating system industry accounted for more than 90 percent of the market, with the exception of fruit and Microsoft, almost all of which were destroyed by them.

But there's no charge of monopolies, either, because they open up part of the source code, allowing any business to produce systems around their systems, or to produce applications.

This is also why Feng Yu is not worried that Microsoft's smartphone system surpasses them. He waited for the semi-public HOS system after Fruit launched its smartphone. Anyway, the base code for the HOS system itself comes from the free LINUX system.

By then, each family will develop a variant operating system based on HOS, which belongs to them. But whichever manufacturer adheres to the HOS standard, and even thinks Silver Mountain can charge a patent license fee.

It would be very easy to attract other manufacturers under better conditions. Microsoft and Fruit, which would never publish the source code, were slowly getting rid of it.

During this time, even Think Group and Think Silver Mountain are very busy, they know that a half step ahead can make huge profits.

Plus, Liu Chuanzhi attaches great importance to this. Even during this time, he has always sat in the town of Lenovo Group, allowing Lenovo Group to develop technology faster than before.

Lenovo Group has launched not only a new generation of all-in-one machines, but also a new generation of audio-visual books.

But after watching it, Feng Yu felt that this all-in-one machine at this time, some chicken ribs. The simplest part is that it's not very good value for money.

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

If not, after the launch of this new generation of all-in-one machines, sales have not been very good. Apart from some political axe purchases, individuals barely buy this.

For the same price, you can buy a nice notebook. What could be better than a notebook, apart from a bigger screen?

If a desktop with a large LCD screen is the same price level, the performance is also quite high.

This chicken rib product will only be purchased by an axe unit that is not bad for money. Didn't a lot of people say in the past life that it took two and a half minutes to boot up, and it actually beat one percent of the computers in the country, one percent of them in school computer rooms, corporate offices, and so on.

There is actually a lot of cat fatigue in here. To give a simpler example, the same computer, the political axe can only buy national product brands, so there are not many choices first.

However, there may be different agents between national product brands, even for the same product brand, with different bidding conditions. A so-called data confidentiality clause, for example, could raise the price of a computer by thousands of dollars.

What do you mean by data confidentiality? is equivalent to a warranty. But when it's repaired, it's in front of you that you change the accessories, and then you get the accessories back. Generally speaking, this is a hard drive only.

How much do you think you can pay for a hard drive? Even if there are secrets in the hard drive of the political axe, don't any of the computer monkeys recruited by the political axe know how to change the hard drive?

So the computer of the general government axe organ unit has a longer life than that of other enterprises and individuals. Even though it is clearly old and excessive, it should be used consistently until it is scrapped!

“Old Liu, I told you, don't rush to promote this machine, don't rush to expand production, a lot of foreign companies buy it, doesn't mean we sell it here. You've seen the performance parameters, you can't say it's particularly bad, but it's also very inexpensive, right? ”

Liu Zhenzhi sighed: “Fortunately, I asked your opinion first, there is not too much production, otherwise I really want to create a product backlog. ”

“Don't worry about this. Superpower's processor performance will continue to improve and a new product architecture will emerge. By then, this all-in-one machine will be slowly accepted by users, slowly replacing traditional desktops. ”

“That SSD solid state drive, you know, can be used in an all-in-one machine to greatly improve performance. Don't use mechanical hard drives in the future. You don't need to store too many files anyway. ”

SSD solid-state drives are technology upgraded from flash drives to replace traditional mechanical hard drives, and are the direction Feng Yu says future hard drives will take.

Solid state drives have many advantages over mechanical hard drives, data protection is not controlled by power, and reading and writing speed is faster, less prone to damage, etc.

One of the most intuitive things is that PC boots on a solid state hard drive are half as fast as a mechanical hard drive, not even half as fast.

Of course, limited to the current flash memory technology, the current mass-produced solid state drives are only 32G and 64G and expensive, with 32G solid state drives much more expensive than traditional 80G mechanical drives and more than half less storage space.

Peel out the space occupied by the system, etc., and not much space is left to the user.

However, at the rate of technological upgrading at this time, soon larger capacity solid state drives will also be available in mass production, but there are equally high cost disadvantages.

In this way, however, the 20G is removed and reserved for the system, and the remaining space is sufficient for general office use. You can buy a mobile hard drive because it feels like a lot of space. A 160G mechanical mobile hard drive costs only a few hundred bucks, which is acceptable to many users compared to the price of a computer.

If you still feel small, there are 320G mobile hard drives for sale.

Now the desktop mainstream is a 160G mechanical hard drive, and the 320G is a high fit. And the 160G hard drive notebook is already a good fit.

After hearing Feng Yu say these words, Liu Jianzhi shook his head: “With a solid state drive, the value for money has become lower. Let's do this, the all-in-one project slows down, so let's make more breakthroughs in the notebook. This is the biggest impression we give our users, and we can't disappoint them anymore. ”

The issue of value for money is indeed the main problem affecting all-in-one sales this time, but as technology improves, these will be solved.

This all-in-one project can be set aside first, but it is not yet time for the traditional desktop market to shrink.

However, Feng Yu disagreed with the focus on the notebook. The focus should be on the R&D of tablets, which will bring huge profits!
