In the afternoon, after talking with the computer team, Wei Qingfan had several more ancient poetry notebooks in his office.
The Gushi laptop is undoubtedly positioned as a thin and light notebook, but in terms of its specific name, Wei Qingfan is still prepared to imitate Apple, that is, "coining words" and using exclusive nouns to enhance the brand's presence.
Just like iphone, ipad, macbook.
Among domestic manufacturers, Huawei was the first to learn from Apple. Matepad and Matebook are very direct and unabashed "references".
After that, other brands also discovered this "secret", so "exclusive terms" such as mipad, mibook, oppopad, and vivopad also followed.
Prior to this, Lenovo released the "Xiaoxin" series of products in April this year (2014), but there was no way to clearly classify them into this learning category.
Wei Qingfan wanted to insist on naming Chinese characters, so naturally he could not learn such a naming method. Therefore, after his own consideration and brainstorming, the ancient poetry notebook still continued the idea of the mobile phone and was divided into two versions: "Standard Edition" and "Collection Edition".
The selling points of the standard version are its simple design, metal body, fast charging, and high-definition screen with 1080p resolution, covering the price range of 5,000 to 7,000;
On this basis, the Collector's Edition has been upgraded to an integrated metal body, 2K screen, solid-state drive, and fingerprint unlocking, covering the price range of 7,000 to 9,000.
The subsequent product division plan has not yet been determined.
One of the plans is to add a professional edition between the standard edition and collector's edition according to the pricing, and add a premium edition on top of the collector's edition. The corresponding nouns will be solidified into "professional edition of ancient poetry", "collection edition of ancient poetry" and "extreme edition of ancient poetry".
"Refined Edition".
The standard edition will be replaced by the "Comprehensive Edition of Ancient Poems".
Another solution is to divide the products into "all-round notebooks", "professional notebooks", "thin and light notebooks" and "ultra notebooks" according to product usage scenarios.
“All-round notebooks” are aimed at ordinary consumers;
“Professional Edition” is aimed at professional consumers;
Both "thin and light notebooks" and "ultrabooks" are aimed at high-end consumer groups such as business people. Thin and light notebooks are aimed at MacBook Air, and "ultrabooks" are aimed at MacBook Pro.
Each version can also be released as a "collector's edition" to further segment the market positioning.
For example, the "Ancient Poetry Notebook" released this fall is an "all-round notebook", which will help differentiate subsequent products.
Wei Qingfan prefers the latter option, but he has no more specific ideas on how to strengthen the noun, whether the brand image can be sustained, and how to "cut it".
These can be done step by step, and how to do it depends on market feedback. Even if he is a reborn person, he cannot really "strategize and win a thousand miles" before everything starts.
"It's quite beautiful..."
Wei Qingfan moved a standard box to the coffee table and put it down. Jiang Qinghuai had the self-consciousness of a female secretary. She stood aside and watched, not helping, but just commenting.
The computer packaging follows the idea of the "Heaven and Earth Box" for mobile phones. It is a pure white paper box with only a "Poetry" monogram on the front and "Standard Edition" and "Collector's Edition" logos on the side.
Wei Qingfan smiled and said, "You come and dismantle it."
"good."
Jiang Qinghuai didn't refuse. He cut open the plastic seal with a knife and slowly picked up the top cover of the box. He saw a metallic silver laptop lying quietly inside. The front was very simple, with only the word "Poetry".
The monogram makes her look very friendly.
Different from the common laptops on the market, this laptop is not only more concise in design and better in quality, but also more "square".
Its screen ratio is 3:2, which is more suitable for office work than the traditional 16:9.
Jiang Qinghuai took out the laptop, put it on the coffee table, opened the lid, and saw the B side of the laptop. The C side was also very simple. The screen border was narrow, the lower border was relatively wider, and a smaller word "Poetry" was printed on it.
logo.
The touchpad on the C side is larger than that of common Windows notebooks. The left and right buttons are not separated in the lower part and can still be pressed, but it looks like a whole piece and the visual effect is better;
There is an independent round power button in the upper right corner of the keyboard.
This is the standard version, which does not have integrated fingerprint recognition.
"It's okay, it looks pretty."
Jiang Qinghuai didn't open it, but just admired it carefully, plugged in the power, turned it on, and then went to open the collector's edition.
They are both made of aluminum alloy, but the Collector's Edition adopts an integrated process, which improves the appearance and texture. The standard version looks very high-end alone, but when compared with the Collector's Edition, there is still a clear gap.
In terms of design, there is not much difference between the standard version and the Collector’s Edition. Even the power button looks the same, but the Collector’s Edition supports fingerprint unlocking;
But just like the texture, once the screen lights up, the difference in screen display can be seen.
"Sure enough, the 2K screen is clearer..."
The laptop that Jiang Qinghuai is using is a "company-issued" MacBook Air13, 2012 version, with a screen resolution of 1440 x 900, which is not ultra-high definition, but the desktop computer in the office is. I don't think the 2K screen is so stunning.
But you can still see the difference.
She compared it herself and asked Wei Qingfan: "What color do you want to keep?"
"Dark gray."
Both notebooks are available in three colors: three-month silver, space gray, and starlight gold. As President Wei, Wei Qingfan naturally chooses classic gray.
"I think they all look pretty, but I choose gold!"
Jiang Qinghuai continued to dismantle the computer, compare the colors, and took photos and sent them to the group for everyone to choose colors. Except for Li Wanyi and Wei Qingfan who chose space gray, Li Miaoyu and Li Wanyun both preferred starlight gold.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After thinking for a while, she asked again: "By the way, is this a pure solid-state version?"
"All collector's editions."
Nowadays, solid-state drives are still a rare thing. Only ultra-high-end laptops use pure solid-state drives, and the prices are basically above 10,000 yuan.
However, "solid-state mechanical" dual hard drives are a more common choice, ranging from 8G 500G to 24G 500G.
That’s right, 8G solid state drive!
The memory is generally 4G or 8G.
The memory of the Gushi laptop, the standard version and the collector's edition, are both 4G and 8G; the processor is Intel Core i5-4600U and i7-4500U; the hard drive is the standard version 16G solid state plus mechanical hard drive, and the collector's version is 32G
Solid state plus mechanical hard drive.
However, as the boss, Wei Qingfan can naturally be more willful and buy pure solid-state engineering machines for himself and his relatives, unified 512G version.
Similar to the configuration of a 512G solid-state drive, the price on the market is basically around 15,000 yuan.
"Hehe, that's good."
Jiang Qinghuai became happy. She was now using a MacBook Air with a 256G version. She had saved a lot of photos, movies, and company information, and there was still a lot left. Now that the new computer was actually a 512G version, there was even more to use.
“It’s quite pretty!”
When he got home from get off work, Wei Qingfan brought his laptop. Li Miaoyu couldn't wait to open it. After seeing the computer, he was a little surprised and said, "And it looks so thin!"
Under Mr. Wei's guidance, the two ancient poetry notebooks adopt a wedge-shaped design, which looks very thin and light visually.
——Historically, Apple launched a wedge-shaped design on the MacBook Pro in 2016, and in 2021 made a retro design on the "Notch" MacBook Pro. In fact, the MacBook Pro with bangs is thinner, but because of the retro design, it looks smaller than
The old model with wedge-shaped design was much thicker.
The "visual deception" effect of the wedge-shaped design is evident.
There is not enough accumulation in ancient poetry now. The wedge-shaped design is not perfect, but the visual effect is already very good. The thickness of both laptops is 18 mm, which is similar to the MacBook Pro, but it looks much thinner and lighter.
"Can we support the yellow-eared mutual communication now?"
While turning on the computer, Li Miaoyu continued to ask questions she was concerned about, "If it doesn't support it, I won't change it and will continue to use Apple computers."
"You have already spoken, how dare you not support it?"
Wei Qingfan rolled his eyes, while Jiang Qinghuai smiled beside him and said: "This function has been stuck for a long time, otherwise he would have given the computer to you last month."
"Then I'll try it later."
The system version is Windows 8.1, which has basically no sense of existence in future generations, but now it is the latest Windows system. You can still despise Win7, but there is a high probability that it will be counterattacked... It seems that it will be the same ten years later, Microsoft always
Systems that are a generation behind are more popular.
Wei Qingfan helped complete the registration, settings and other processing of the new machine, and then helped download software, Lingxi, Luoshen Music, Luoshen Video, Luoshen Notes, Luoshen Input Method Microsoft version... FamilyMart arranged it first, as if it was already there
A bit of courage from Tencent in later generations.
Li Miaoyu was still thinking about the cat at home. After eating, she didn't take a stroll anymore, so she and Li Wanyun went back together with their new computers.
Wei Qingfan had just finished his walk here and returned upstairs. He was thinking about how to coax his senior sister or Qingqing to take a bath for himself when his cell phone rang. Li Miaoyu's tone and demeanor were familiar and he said anxiously: "Brother, ah
It’s lost, I can’t find it!”
Li Wanyun said from the side: "It can't be lost. It must be because we haven't found it yet."
"But I can't find it!"
Li Miaoyu said aggrievedly, "We didn't see it when we came back. Then we searched upstairs and downstairs several times, but we still couldn't find it."
Li Wanyi heard this and hurried over and asked: "Are the doors and windows closed?"
"closed."
"closed."
The two girls over there answered together, "But I just can't find it."
"Is the basement door open?"
"No."
Li Miaoyu replied in a low voice, "I was afraid that it would be bored at home alone, so I opened it specially so that it could walk around and get familiar with it..."
"Then it's a wonder you found it."
Li Wanyi said helplessly and amusingly, "You deserve it! In such a big place, where does it go, where are you going to look for it?"
"Okay, okay, don't worry yet."
Wei Qingfan originally wanted to laugh at him, but his senior sister laughed at him first, so he had to comfort him softly, "I'll go over now and we'll look for him together. Don't worry about him. He can't escape and must be sleeping somewhere."
Already."
"Hmm~"
Li Miaoyu nodded and said pitifully: "Then come quickly, be careful and drive slowly."
"Drive slowly, come quickly, this is a bit demanding..."
After Wei Qingfan hung up the phone, he complained funnyly, but when he saw Li Wanyi turning around and going back to the house, he couldn't help but ask: "Why are you going?"
"Change clothes and I'll go with you."
Li Wanyi didn't look back, but her tone was a little helpless, "I don't trust any of you."
Jiang Qinghuai smiled and said, "How about you stay at home and look after the baby, and I'll go with you."
Li Wanyi turned around and said, "I won't worry if you go."
Jiang Qinghuai rolled his eyes angrily.
Wei Qingfan glanced at her and said with a smile: "Let's go together. The baby's mother is watching over it, so don't worry."
"also."
Jiang Qinghuai was also a little curious about where he could hide, and said, "Then I'll go change clothes too."
They both changed into pajamas when they came home from a walk, and now they have to change back. Wei Qingfan saves the trouble. He is too lazy to change, so naturally he doesn't have to change back now. He feels that compared to the two daughters-in-law, they are full of superiority in terms of IQ.
