"I had mentioned to you all that we should produce a small, powerful, and cheap PC. This PC will be our new source of revenue, and Lenovo PC will become the world's number one PC manufacturer."
"General Manager Feng, there is a problem with what you said. How can it be cheap if it has powerful functions? How can it be small if it has powerful functions? "Liu Chuanzhi said.
Feng Yu had mentioned this to him in the past, but Liu Chuanzhi and his men had researched on this PC, and it was impossible.
Feng Yu waved his hand. "Nothing is impossible. Do you all think a small phone like this can surf the internet, send emails, and take pictures? You all should know better than me how fast the IT industry is changing. "
"This PC I am talking about is called Tablet PC. That means it needs touch screen technologies, and we are the world's leading touchscreen technologies. It should be about this size, and the screen should be about 8 to 10 inches. The buttons should be the same as our touchscreen phones. The buttons should be as few as possible, and there should only be one to three buttons on the front. The buttons can even be changed to touch screens. "
"The screen's resolution is also very high. Coincidentally, our LCD display technology is also the world's leading. Of course, this PC also needs a small and powerful motherboard, RAM, hard disk, etc. Our technologies are all good. "
"Since we have all these requirements, why can't we do it? Old Liu, didn't Lenovo develop a product similar to IBM's ThinkPad? I remember the screen can be rotated and become a touchscreen controller. Now, we need to remove the keyboard and integrate the motherboard and other necessary components with the screen. What's impossible? "
"All-in-one PC? Didn't you all also develop it? This is just a small, or should I say micro, all-in-one PC, and it only has a touch screen. "
After hearing what Feng Yu said, everyone felt what Feng Yu said made sense. This is just a small all-in-one PC or a super mobile phone.
"But what about the system? Although the PC system we are developing is not very big, it needs at least 2 GB, and with some other software and system patches, it needs at least 10 GB of RAM. We can't possibly make a machine of this size thicker than a book, right? "Qiu Bojun asked.
"The system can be simplified. Our PC and smartphone systems are very different, but they both use Linux, right? Why can't we make a system that's more powerful than a smartphone system but weaker than a PC system? "
"For this tablet, I want it to be able to browse the web, send and receive emails, play games, listen to music, watch movies, look at photos, and log into instant messaging software. These are the functions that most people use. As for the office that you mentioned, we've already eliminated the keyboard, so naturally, we've also eliminated this aspect. "
"We're targeting this tablet for entertainment, not for work. If he wanted to work, he would have to buy a more powerful product. Of course, as our hardware and software continue to upgrade in the future, it's not impossible to use it for work. "
"As for the storage space you mentioned, we don't have to use mechanical hard drives. Why can't we use flash memory cards? I remember that our flash memory card technology is making rapid progress. Now we can produce 4GB SD cards. Maybe by next year, 8GB and 16GB flash memory cards will be successfully researched. "
"Do you all think that 16GB memory cards are not enough for the functions I mentioned? 8G should be enough, as long as we reserve a place to support the expansion card, it'll be fine. "
In Feng Yu's previous life, the tablets had smaller memory, but they can still be used.
"Err … General Manager Feng, you might be too optimistic about our technologies. Although our touch screen technology is very good, and our LCD screen technology is also very good, it is not so easy to combine them together. Furthermore, you want a big screen, and even if it's only 8 inches, the battery consumption will be high. "Xu Lihua suddenly said.
"No. I am not being too optimistic. We must work towards this direction. I know it will be difficult to combine these two technologies, but it's not impossible. Touch screen phones are the proof. As for the battery consumption, we will let Tai Hua Batteries handle it. High-performance lithium batteries are their main focus now, and they can use it on our tablet. We can also shrink it and use it on our mobile phones. "
"Also, don't forget about Tai Hua Batteries' other product. Power bank. This is like a spare battery, and it can still be charged. This will increase the battery life of this product. The first product's requirements are not high, but the user must be able to watch two hours of movies continuously. "
If he couldn't even finish watching a movie, then what was the point of doing it? Then wouldn't the function of watching movies become a decoration?
"Maybe we can think of ways to lower the battery consumption for the CPU and graphics card. If we can combine the CPU and graphics card, it will be better. "Yang Zhiyuan thought for a while and said.
This is the APU product produced by AMD in Feng Yu's previous life. This is also the product used by many game consoles and tablets.
Not only the performance is outstanding, but it also saves space.
"This is a good idea. Tianming, do you all have any problems with this?"
"No problems. We have a research lab in Hua Xia, and it's in the same industrial park. We can work together to develop this product. I will report to the higher-ups and sign the contract with Nvidia. "Yi Tianming said.
"I still think that since the screen technology isn't outstanding enough, the battery technology, hardware, and so on aren't outstanding enough, we should still do it like a laptop. Our product should be developed step by step and not in one go. "Liu Chuanzhi frowned.
"Also, we are also developing a mini all-in-one computer, and it will not clash with this project."
Laptop? These features are the same as the low-end netbooks in Feng Yu's previous life. These are also the main features of many Chinese laptops.
Since the tablet PC technology is not good enough, they can also develop a low-cost netbook.
"What you said makes sense. Then let's do as you say. Our product is cheap and small, but it has all the basic functions of a PC. But if you want to play MMORPG, forget it. "
"General Manager Feng, laptops have always been positioned as high-end products. If we follow your requirements, the performance will not be high. Isn't that lowering the standard?" Jiang Wanmeng frowned.
"Different prices for different markets. These are prepared for those young bourgeoisie. Young women and university students are our main target audience. "
"In the future, when the laptop market is saturated, our tablet PC will become a new growth point for the company. It will be the main growth point!"
