Chapter 2284 Tianyin 2400
In mid-December, Duan Yun received an invitation from the BJ City Government to fly to BJ with Ni Guangnan to attend a special meeting.

According to what Duan Yun learned before, the reason why the BJ City Government invited Duan Yun was because they were about to hold a national foreign trade exhibition in BJ City, and Tianyin Group was the key merchant they invited.

The name of this exhibition is "China BJ High-Tech Industry International Week", which is approved by the State Council and co-sponsored by the Ministry of Science and Technology, the State Intellectual Property Office, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the BJ Municipal People's Government. Cooperation event.

The Chamber of Commerce is scheduled to be held in May next year, and it can be regarded as China's first high-tech-themed trade conference. Exhibition projects for foreign investment in the field.

According to Duan Yun’s previous knowledge, there were only 15 delegations from countries and regions participating in the first BJ International Week. Although there were not many participating countries, the gold content was not bad. Except for the United States, Japan and some developed countries in Europe, There are also several countries from Southeast Asia.

In addition, there are a total of more than 170 domestic technology manufacturers invited to participate in the exhibition, most of which are from BJ, and 21 from Shenzhen. The group has been the most watched high-tech company in China for many years, and it is obviously higher than other domestic technology and electronics companies by at least one or two grades in terms of technology research and development capabilities and annual transaction volume.

And this time Duan Yun brought Ni Guangnan to participate in this meeting. On the one hand, because the chief engineer of Ni Guangnan City Group Company, he needs to introduce the technical situation of the company's products to the meeting organizer. On the other hand, in the current domestic situation, Ni Guangnan is The academia, especially BJ's, still has a very high influence. With his presence, the participants will pay more attention to it, and at the same time, it will attract more attention from professional media.

Duan Yun also seems to attach great importance to this invitation from the BJ City Government. This time he came to Beijing and brought several new products developed by the company recently, and each new product can be said to integrate the current The latest and strongest technology of the sound group.

Among all the exhibits to be exhibited, the most important one is the latest notebook computer developed by Tianyin Group. This notebook computer is named "Tianyin 2400". It is very excellent and can perfectly run the domestic operating system.

In fact, in 1997, the global notebook computer business began to experience explosive growth. Among them, IBM's notebook computer was the most eye-catching.

Just in the middle of last year, IBM launched the Think pad 701c nicknamed "Butterfly". It is divided into two parts, and the keyboard adopts a unique retractable design. When he collects it, it will move up and down and stuff it into the computer, and when it is opened, it will unfold left and right, just like a butterfly spreading its wings.

From the perspective of future generations, the appearance of this notebook will not look outdated either. The shape is very elegant and the concept is exquisite, which fully demonstrates that high-tech products also have high artistic value, and this product was later adopted by New York Modern. Permanent collection of the Museum of Art.

From all aspects of data, the Think pad 701c was excellent at the time, with a fully charged battery life of 3.5 to four hours and an overall weight of 3.5kg.Although it is a bit bulky, compared with desktop computers, it still has very strong portability.

The notebook computer launched by Tianyin Group this time, in terms of performance and appearance, actually refers to IBM's Think pad 701c to a certain extent. The group's self-produced 16M and 32M memory, the hard drive is suitable for the 256 mb mobile hard drive jointly developed by Western Digital, and it also has a 3.4-inch optical drive. The overall performance belongs to the international mainstream level, and it is also the strongest domestic notebook computer.

However, the notebook computer launched by Telling Group currently has a black technology, that is, there is a built-in CD rom drive in this notebook computer. In the past, this kind of drive could only appear in desktop computers, but Telling Group put it Successful miniaturization is also a huge breakthrough in the field of personal microcomputers.

However, the notebook computer designed by Tianyin Group also has many problems that have not been finally resolved, mainly due to weight and cost issues.

The total weight of "Tianyin 2400" has reached 3.4kg, which is almost the same weight as the Think pad 701c launched by IBM last year. At the same time, the weight of notebook computers launched in Japan, Europe and other countries is controlled below 2.5kg, so In terms of portability, the "Tianyin 2400" is bulkier.

There is also the cost issue, which is also the biggest difficulty faced by the engineers of Tianyin Group. According to the cost evaluation of the first batch of prototypes, the cost price of "Tianyin 2400" is as high as 12000 RMB. If it is released to the market, the price can reach 14000~ Around RMB 15000, this price is quite astonishing.

You must know that in the current domestic situation, the biggest competitor facing Tianyin Group is still Lenovo. IBM has become a licensed agent of IBM. After avoiding tariffs and the business network established by Liu Chuanzhi, Lenovo can still launch products that are very competitive in China.

And in June this year, Lenovo launched a new notebook computer, priced at 6 yuan. In terms of performance, this notebook is inferior to Tianyin Group's computer, but because it uses IBM's exquisite design , and the price below 9999 yuan shocked the domestic market at that time. After all, at that time, people felt that laptops could not be bought under 1 yuan. The current mainstream price in the notebook computer market is 1 to 15000 yuan.

And the most important thing is that Lenovo's notebook computer weighs only 2.3kg, which is 1kg lighter than Tianyin's computer here, and can also meet the needs of most users. This undoubtedly puts the notebook computer research and development team of Tianyin Group under great pressure. .

It is precisely because of this that after the first batch of Tianyin 2400 prototypes were made, Duan Yun did not immediately put this product on the market, but continued to ask the engineer team to improve, and at the same time, according to user needs, developed Tianyin 2400 into a There are three products of high, middle and low grades.
