"I once mentioned to you that we should produce a small, powerful and cheap computer. This computer will become our new profit growth point. Let's think about computers and become No.1 in the world."
"Mr. Feng, there is a paradox in the first place. Powerful function, how can the price be cheap? Powerful, how can it be small? " Liu Chuanzhi said.
Feng Yu mentioned it to him before, but he studied it with others. It's impossible.
Feng Yu waved: "nothing is impossible. Who do we think before that such a small mobile phone can access 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 said is called tablet computer, that is to say, it needs touch-screen technology. Just now we are the world leader in touch-screen research. The size of the screen should be about eight to ten inches. The buttons are the same as the touch-screen mobile phones we designed. There should be as few as possible. There can be only one or three buttons on the front, and even the buttons can become touch type. "
"The resolution of the screen is also very high. Coincidentally, our technology on the LCD is also the world's leading. Of course, this also requires a small and powerful motherboard, including memory, hard disk, and so on, our technology is good. "
"Now that we have these conditions, why can't we do it? Liu, isn't it possible to make a product similar to IBM's ThinkPad? I remember that the screen can be rotated and turned into a touch-screen control, right? Now is to cancel the keyboard, the motherboard and other necessary components with the screen together, what is impossible? "
"Integrated machine, didn't you make it? This is a small or micro all-in-one machine, and it's just a touch screen. "
Hearing Feng Yu's words, everyone felt that it seemed that what he said also made sense. This is a small all-in-one machine, or a super cell phone.
"But what about the system? Although the PC system we studied is not very large, it also needs more than two G's, plus some others, and system patches, etc., which should occupy at least ten G's memory space. We can't make machines of this size thicker than books, can we? " Asked the uncle army.
"The system can be simplified. There is a big gap between our PC and smartphone systems, but we all use Linux basic code, right? Why can't we build a system that is more powerful than the smartphone system, but weaker than the PC system? "
"My requirement for this tablet is to be able to browse the web, send and receive emails, play games, listen to songs, watch movies, see photos, log in instant chat software, etc., which is also the most widely used function of the computer. As for the office work, we all omit the keyboard, which is naturally omitted. "
"This tablet is for entertainment, not for work. If you work, you still need to buy more powerful products. Of course, with the continuous upgrading of our hardware and software in the future, it is not impossible to work with it. "
"As for the problem of storage space, we don't have to use mechanical hard disk. Why can't we use flash memory card? I remember that our flash card technology has made rapid progress, and now it can produce 4G SD card. Maybe next year, 8g and 16g flash cards will be successfully researched. "
"Do you think that the 16g memory card is not enough for the functions I just mentioned? The 8g is enough, as long as we reserve a place to support the expansion card. "
Previous tablet, just out of memory is still smaller, not the same normal use?
"Well, Mr. Feng, you may be too optimistic about our technology. Although our touch-screen technology is very good, LCD technology is also very good, but together, it is not so easy. What's more, the screen you require is so large, even if it's only eight inches, the power consumption is also very high. " Xu Lihua suddenly said.
"No, I am not optimistic, but we should work in this direction. I know it will be difficult to combine the two technologies, but it's not impossible. Touch screen mobile phones are proof. As for power consumption, it's up to Taihua battery company to solve this problem. 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 also be used in mobile phones
"One more thing, don't forget another product of Taihua battery, rechargeable battery. This is equivalent to a spare battery, which can also be charged, enough to improve the endurance of this product. The requirements of the first product can not be too high, but the first one should be able to watch two hours of films in a row. "
If you can't finish watching a movie, you can fart. Isn't the function of watching a movie a decoration?
"Maybe we can think of ways to reduce energy consumption in CPU, video card and other aspects. If we can combine CPU and video card together, it would be better. " Yang Zhiyuan thought and said.
Together, this is not the product called APU produced by SUPERWAY in the past, but also the product adopted by many game consoles, tablets and so on.Not only excellent performance, low energy consumption, but also save space.
"That's a good idea. Tomorrow, do you have any questions?"
"No problem. At the same time, we all have product R & D labs in China, and in an industrial park, we can cooperate to develop this product. Later, I will report to the above and sign a contract with yingweida as soon as possible. " Yi Tianming said.
"I still think that since the screen technology is not outstanding enough, the battery technology, hardware and so on are not outstanding enough, we should follow the notebook way. Our products should be developed step by step, not in place. " Liu Chuanzhi said with a frown.
"And we're going to work on micro all-in-one machines, which doesn't conflict with this project."
Notebook? These functions are not only the low-end netbook functions of the past, but also the main functions of many home-made so-called copycat notebooks.
Since the tablet computer is not technically enough for the time being, it's OK to make a low-cost netbook.
"It makes sense for you to say so, so follow your wishes. The main features of our product are cheap and small, but the basic functions of the computer are all available. But if you want to play large-scale online games, let's forget it. "
"Mr. Feng, the notebook has always been positioned as a high-end product. According to your requirements, the performance is definitely not high. Didn't it directly lower the level?" Asked Jiang wanmeng with a frown.
"Different prices, different markets. These are for young people with small capital. Young women and college women are our main sales targets. "
"In the future, when the notebook market is close to saturation, the tablet computer we studied will inevitably become a new growth point of the company's profits, and the main growth point!"
