Coquettish Rebirth

"Not in the name of a diskless workstation?" The old man was taken aback at that time, not only the old man, but also Anderson and others and even Ye Jing, a group of people were all taken aback at that time!Haven't everyone been talking about diskless workstations and corresponding diskless workstations recently?Why did you suddenly say not to sell it as a diskless workstation?In what mode is it sold? pc?Doesn't old man Olson hate PCs the most?

"Yes, in the name of PC..." Who knew Jia Hongjian would really say that at this time!At that time, the old man Olsen was a little upset when he heard it. What he hated the most was the PC, or what he hated was the PC manufacturers of this era!He thinks that things like PCs can be replaced every 20 years, at least every 10 years. No way.Can this old man Olsen not hate this?

But just before the old man was about to get angry, he heard Jia Hongjian add, "Or according to what you Americans say, it's not in the name of PC, but in the name of Apple..." Is there a difference between Apple and PC?It turns out that in China, because pc personal computer is translated into computer, and Apple computer is also a computer, so many people think that there is no difference between Apple and computer.This is a problem with a translation method in Chinese, but in foreign countries, dows and other operating systems are used, and Apple computers use Apple's system and computers bought from Apple!

It can be said that between pc and apple, it is completely different!That is.Apple has made the PC its own brand, which is independent of the PC! "I mean, something like this kind of all-in-one machine, I personally think that it should be a product that Apple should have. Since Apple doesn't have one yet, why don't we make one? We can use an all-aluminum casing, anodized After oxidation, paint the best white and black paint, so that the shell will not change color for at least 5 years, and it is bright and full of future technology. We can incorporate more industrial designs to make this product look beautiful and messy, as if As long as people have money, they should buy this! Just like mansions, sports cars, and beautiful women are a standard of the American dream. Our computer should also be something that people dream of! Here. There is industry mad scientist Olson The cutting-edge technology researched and developed has a lot of industrial design aesthetics and a strong brand subsidiary meaning, why don't they buy this computer?"

good.Maybe old man Olsen was still a little bit angry before.But after hearing what Jia Hongjian said.Especially after hearing the phrase "here is the cutting-edge technology developed by the mad scientist Olsen", the old man's anger immediately disappeared a lot!The so-called old and young, this Olsen is old and old.His temper is also a bit like a child's. Once he hears others admit that he is indeed a cow, he will feel that others are very pleasing to the eye.

At this time, Jia Hongjian was indeed like this in his eyes. When Olsen was in Dec, he was not happy to make personal computers, but liked to make things for commercial users.At this time, although ams is targeting the commercial market, it has already determined an improvement plan after all.The thing he made now is actually just a by-product of his unwillingness to give up his research results!So from a certain point of view, to make this product sell well in the market, and to make the things designed by him Olson be recognized by the market and the industry, this is what the old man wants most!

So from a certain point of view, although the old man is unwilling to develop for individual users, he is not so unhappy if this by-product becomes a commodity and can accumulate a certain amount of technical experience for the future ams diskless workstations!And the key point is that this apple is not a pc!If he made an "apple", it would not violate his declaration that he was not willing to be a PC!

At this moment, Jia Hongjian continued to say, "Two years ago, when I was in China, a friend owned a TV factory. Their company is now the company with the largest market share in China. At that time, I gave them I came up with an idea, that is to make the TV casing colorful. Before, the TVs were uniformly black, so I was thinking, why can’t it be made into color? Why can’t it be made into white and yellow? Why can't it be unified with the decoration style of the home? So I think our computer can do this step. Even to reduce financial pressure, I think we don't even need to do marketing, spend some money on advertising, and then we can use The Sherlock Holmes online shopping platform is being promoted nationwide, and we can even adopt a model similar to Dell. Instead of specifying certain configurations for consumers like Apple, we can completely choose configurations, even colors, and even connect the casings. and colors can be customized..."

That's right, Jia Hongjian didn't believe that after the domestic economy developed, there were so many pretenders, but the United States didn't have one?Even if Americans like to watch TV and watch sports, they always use game consoles to play games. At home, computers are only used for surfing the Internet or chatting, and there are no online games in this era.But this computer is not aimed at ordinary people, but at those relatively wealthy people above the middle class, that is, to get a computer worth 1000-1500 dollars, so that they have a kind of "beautiful furniture that does not match at all" computer" feeling!

The high profits of Apple Computer are well known to everyone. What is this Apple selling?In fact, to put it bluntly, isn’t it just an appearance?Is his Apple os operating system really easy to use?Not to mention anything else, many people in China have bought Apple computers, and they still have to flash them to the Windows system. Although this is a bit of a trick, it also proves that some software is indeed incompatible on the Apple system!

Hearing Jia Hongjian's analysis, Olsen and other old men were really interested!Although this direction is not what they really want to study, it is still a business anyway!Although it is not for making money, it is good to have a business!After all, there is no single business now!Now he has a partner, Jia Hongjian.Can't you really let people lose money all the way?And in some respects, it turns the research results of the old men into products!

Finally, after a group of people's discussion, such a path can be considered settled.Olsen is also very happy, after all, he made it himself.After deciding on the route, the group began to discuss what the computer should look like, that is, to start the appearance and internal design.In terms of appearance, the old man Olsen suggested that the current "Frankenstein" beautified a little. In a word, the computer is placed on the top of the monitor, and there is a tray under the monitor for the monitor to adjust its position.

Jia Hongjian disagreed with this, because everyone else did the same thing.Then there is no special beauty!So Jia Hongjian asked directly. "Can't we get rid of the lowest tray? It's so inconvenient. I remember when I bought a computer, I had to put the tray in place first and then put the monitor on. Still need to align the position..."

Olsen heard Jia Hongjian's request.I gave the solution almost without thinking—"There is no problem in this aspect. The bottom of the current display is a hemispherical curved surface. It is adjusted in conjunction with the base. If the base does not need to be installed separately, I I think we make a stall. Just put the tray and the hemisphere directly inside, which is equivalent to making the original ashtray-like base into a bowl-like shape, and then adding a bayonet on the bowl base, so that it should be able to snap Living?"

The solution given by engineer Olson is very good. Not to mention simple and easy to implement. If the design is well done, the appearance of this computer looks completely different from other computers-especially the base itself. After being shaped like a trophy, the last leaking part is just a simple metal bottom!

"But in this case, because of the built-in base, the lower part of the entire display will be thicker, and we have added things such as optical drives and motherboards to the upper part. Will this make the whole machine too bloated? The top and bottom are big, which is a bit uncomfortable. Okay, why don't we just put all those things at the bottom of the display screen? This way, it's only one place thick anyway, and consumers won't find it a problem..." Jia Hongjian thought for a while before continuing.

Ever since, after such a discussion on the design, the final designed product is a very peculiar existence - the whole all-in-one machine looks like a rounded triangle when viewed from the side!Because of Jia Hongjian's obsession with Apple's design, this product definitely looks like an Apple product at first glance!The exterior aluminum alloy shell, after adding white paint, is not only smooth but also has rounded corners, which has a futuristic post-industrial design aesthetic. At the same time, because it is an all-in-one machine, it has an integrated design. Beauty!The lower part of the whole machine is a little thicker, about 10 cm thicker than ordinary monitors of the same size, and such a space is used to store the motherboard, hard disk and display circuit board.

At the same time, in order to make the appearance of the whole computer look good, the top and side of the display do not have cooling holes like other display casings.Instead, the heat dissipation holes are uniformly placed in the lower rear part, so that some fans may be relied on for heat dissipation.Although such a design seems a little strange, but I have to say that after the final product design effect came out, Ye Jing, the girl, immediately took a fancy to it!In particular, this small computer has two slender built-in speaker holes in the lower left and lower corners, so that the whole product looks very noble and stylish!

"Hung-chien, let's quickly make a few, shall we? I really want this!" The girl proved with her practical actions whether the products designed by Jia Hong-chien were successful or not!Seeing the girl's reaction, Jia Hongjian felt refreshed. After all, this is one of his rare designs to destroy history.But what he didn't know was that at this time, Apple, under the leadership of Jobs, was also developing a mysterious project.The code name of this project is unknown to outsiders, but the specific product design is quite interesting-the crt monitor and the host are combined together, and the name is called an all-in-one machine!
