Laptop makers highlight pain spots

Mobile phones, tablets, and laptops are flooded with various terminals, especially the emergence of tablets. Many people complain that when they are on a business trip, things in the bags are even more, they can't replace laptops, and they can't replace mobile phones. Just one more terminal for idle time on the road and bored.

Since the appearance of two chips, Qualcomm Snapdragon and Intel Atom, is defining the market between mobile phones and laptops. Netbooks and MIDs have finally faded out of people's minds because of the appearance of the Apple iPad.

At this year's CES, Moto Xoom, Lenovo Music Pad, Sharp Galapagos, Acer Iconia, Samsung Sliding PC 7... all kinds of Pads rush in and make people dazzled. Some are pure touch, some are dual screens, some are slides, and some come with keyboards... Each and every one of them is a solution. Consumers are afraid that it will be difficult to figure out which one is more suitable for them.

As a whole, it is actually divided into two major factions, the cell phone department and the notebook department. Because for the dull market of the tablet computer, it is difficult to see clearly now. Whoever can sneak in the rivers and lakes. Therefore, all the giants compete for food.

In the end, the winners of the Tablet PC, in addition to Apple, no one can clearly win, but the war behind it is far more than the brand dispute, but the industry dispute.

Communications and PC were originally two industries that did not commit river water, but since the Qualcomm Snapdragon entered the 1G Hz processing capacity, Intel Atom power consumption has been greatly reduced, the boundaries between communications and PCs began to become chaotic, the emergence of Tablet PCs It is even more contradictory to the extreme.

Behind this, there is also an operating system competition. Intel's choice is no longer only Microsoft, so, Meego appeared in due course. Microsoft and ARM have deep cooperation and Windows has opened its doors to embracing the ARM architecture. The Wintel architecture has become an unstable quadrilateral relationship.

The response of terminal manufacturers is even more radical.

Motorola has put forward the idea of ​​a hand-brain: the host is a mobile phone and holds all kinds of your content. It handles all sorts of files in the company. It pulls off afterwards from work and goes away. Once at home, it is inserted into the base and becomes the home. Desktop.

In other words, only one MOTO Atrix mobile phone is required, and others can extend the functionality of various digital devices through the docking station.

A few years ago there was an interesting survey. When you forgot to bring something to go home and get it, the mobile phone was as important as a key and a purse, and it was impressively at the forefront.

Yes, mobile phones have become an inseparable tool. In the era of mobile Internet, what terminals are the most indiscriminate?

Motorola thinks it is a mobile phone.

So, they revolved around mobile phones to interpret Motorola's mobile computing. The concept of Motorola WebTop came into being with this idea.

"Let the laptop appear redundant" is the original intention of Motorola WebTop design.

Can't help but wonder if laptop makers can compete with mobile computing?

Faced with the soaring computing power of mobile phones and the natural power consumption advantages, notebook makers are obviously slow.

It cannot be denied that notebook makers are also trying to enter the smart phone and tablet market, but the launch of the product, or difficult to get rid of the original limitations, or radical challenges to user habits.

Cloud computing has become increasingly popular, and the connectivity and portability of mobile computing have become more important than storage and computing capabilities.

With mobile Internet as the core of connectivity and portability, how to develop the extension of mobile computing has become a pain point for notebook computer makers.
