Chapter 410 Crazy with praise(2/2)
"Believe him, it's crazy awesome. Mac computers will remain at a mainstream price point, $2,495!
Tomorrow we can find it in 1,500 sales points nationwide."
As the words fell, a burst of cheers erupted in the hall again.
The computer sells for US$2,495, which is simply unimaginable in Neon.
After all, Donglai's price is more than 600,000 yuan per month, which is three times more expensive than Neon's high-end products, which cost more than 200,000 yuan.
But these are indeed mainstream in the North American market, and IBM can only start at one or two thousand dollars.
I have to say that the American people from middle-class families in that era were really rich.
After announcing the price, Boss Qiao began to introduce the various advantages of Mac computers.
Mouse, windows, icons, pull-down menus, mobile clicks, copy and paste, etc. are all the magic weapons that Steve Jobs mentioned.
"Mac has SIC's 80281 32-bit processor. I believe its performance is ten times better than Intel's 8088!"
There, Gang Leader Qiao did not hesitate to blow up the SIC chip, and he himself was indeed extremely satisfied with the SIC80281.
Just like Hong Chuanfeng said at the beginning, the price and performance really beat the Intel 8088.
Nonsense, this is a product made with the latest 3 micron process technology. It is certainly more powerful than the old antique 8088.
The 32 bits that Jobs just mentioned are actually a bit watery. The SIC80281 address bus has 32 bits, but the data bus has 16 bits.
To say he was popular was a bit of a play on words, but the audience still responded to him with enthusiastic cheers.
"Just like 5.25-inch floppy disks were not mainstream in the 1970s, optical disks will now become mainstream in the 1980s.
It is safe and reliable, and can store 700MB of data. Wrong, I heard it right, 700MB!
It is roughly equivalent to the total content recorded on 330,000 pieces of paper, imagine what the scene would be like."
As soon as Jobs finished speaking, there was a burst of warm cheers and whistles in Taitung.
They may not know the concept of 700MB, but they do know that the floppy disk they usually use is 400KB!
The difference of nearly two thousand times was, to be honest, completely beyond their imagination.
In order to allow the audience to experience the power of the Mac computer more personally, Jobs directly opened the package on the spot and began to demonstrate the operation of the Mac computer.
Carrying a beige Mac computer on one leg, it was placed smoothly on the display stand. It was the world's first all-in-one computer.
As soon as it was unveiled, its simple appearance aroused cheers from everyone.
After connecting the phone, Jobs took out a CD from his suit pocket, showed it to Taitung, and then stuffed it into the CD-ROM drive of his Mac computer.
After finishing that, he left the display table and returned to the podium.
The Mac computer that automatically recognized the CD not only displayed a picture on the interface, but even played music directly on the spot.
BGM: "Chritos of Fire", chariots of fire.
Because the capacity of the CD was large enough and the music was not compressed, the unparalleled sound lag shocked everyone present.
As the BGM reaches its climax, the Mac computer screen begins to scroll with words like "Macintosh".
Until the beginning of the music, the picture stayed on "Macintosh, insanity great!"
Mac, crazy about it!
