CNET mid-year review: chaos is unwilling to see through

I don't know if 2012 will end in the end of the world, but it's a mess in the development of the IT industry in the first half of the year.

I was filled with emotion when I wrote a review in the middle of a business trip in San Francisco. Those lively people and things are all in sight.

In the first half of 2012, I wrote nearly 30 blogs. On average, I read an article written before this one. Now it seems that my views are somewhat extreme and there are some insights. Very naive, but some still do not know right or wrong, perhaps I can not see through the world, or do not want to see through.

Cell phone market seizures Mobile phones are the hottest topic in the first half of 2012, so the most talked about topic is mobile phones. Mobile phone giants have exerted themselves, including upstream Microsoft, Google, Apple, Intel, ARM, Qualcomm, etc. Of course, including the protagonists Apple, Samsung, Nokia, Motorola, Lenovo, Huawei, etc., the market is a stage, Sheng Dan The end of the net ugly, busy downtown.

The competition in 2012 is no longer like 2011. Everyone is still the mainstream operating system for Microsoft Windows Phone. Now it is like a trident. This year's competition has become even fiercer. Today, international giants are not allowed to face the domestic mobile phone manufacturers, and the destructive competition of many rich people, thousands of large-screen smart, dual-core, can not afford to hurt the cost of the mobile phone manufacturers in the noisy In the midst of this, who was secretly wounded and who was secretly hurt, he understood.

The mobile phone is now scented, no manufacturer does not want to be a mobile phone, no one does not talk about mobile phones. The industry's various Tucao, all kinds of failure, all kinds of saliva ... Nokia's Windows Phone sales increased, and some people say that it is not; Microsoft Windows Phone 8 released, some people call him unconscience; BlackBerry to release Blackberry 10, some people say it A swan song; Motorola hid in Google's arms, some people say it was corrupted; Internet companies are all in the hospital, and I will not say this.

Someone once said that people who do not sell their mobile phones for mobile phones are rogue.

I do not know. I only know that, years ago, there was a boom where every company was doing its own brand of PC.

I just feel that there is no rule in the mobile phone market. It is very difficult for you to predict who will win and who will lose at the foot of it. Spitting over there.

At the end of this year's Ultrabook exam, I now use ultrabooks to strike this article. I personally prefer the Ultrabook, especially its long-term standby feature. Department of famous, fate.

Since its inception last year, the Ultrabook is now a year old, but it is still a small doll. Compared with its biggest rival, Apple’s Macbook Air and Mackbook Pro, he is still young at the age of one. Must grow up as soon as possible.

Also using Intel's processor, Apple can do so much to advance the Macbook, and most PC manufacturers have still not found the key to crack the door of Apple.

From a general point of view, Apple and many PC manufacturers are no different, palms are all Intel's heart and soul. However, the reason why Intel wants to launch a concept of ultrabook is to promote innovation, transformation, and self-help of the entire PC industry. With heavy weight, Intel knows best.

Apple is a maverick manufacturer. It is not the whole of the PC industry. Other manufacturers are different from it. There are numerous products on the market, but every time Apple releases it, it looks so dazzling and dazzling.

Today, Ultrabook has been accepted by almost all manufacturers and promoted as the most core strategy. The joint efforts of Intel and industry partners are obvious.

From the aspects of appearance, industrial design, intrinsic quality and so on, the ultra-pole book is in urgent need of hurry. In the second half of the year, with the wave of Windows 8, you must make a name for yourself.

Tablet PC is not playing kings duel Tablet PC could have been placid, this calm water, was broken by Microsoft.

Microsoft quietly launched the Surface tablet and gave the entire tablet market a lesson. When the Windows 8 Consumer Preview was released, high-level Microsoft officials held a fan of Samsung tablet PCs, and one day after the release of the Windows 8 preview release, it suddenly appeared to be very popular. Surface.

Surface, is not a kind of ultrabook?

This question is not surprising, because of the two versions released by Microsoft, one of them uses Intel's next-generation Core processor.

Only in terms of appearance, Surface is more inclined to belong to the Tablet PC, because its keyboard is external, and the Ultrabook feels keyboard connected to the ribs, such as flipping, plugging, etc. to achieve more kinds of touch experience .

Ultrabook emphasizes the whole PC experience. Windows 8 Tablet PC? Certainly also say that he is decathlon.

During these two days of travel on Intel Research Day, Intel’s project manager for tablet computers showed off the latest Windows 8 tablet. It looks like it is about 10 millimeters thick. It is also quite smooth from the touch experience of the demo. . The Windows 8 tablet computer thus came with a brand-new attitude, and both Intel and Microsoft have come up with their true capabilities.

The advantages of fruits today will be further expanded on a solid basis. So well, after Windows 8 is really released, it is the beginning. Give it a year and look back.
