Abstract: ultrabooks have many advantages, such as ultra-thin appearance, lower power consumption, long standby time, and even support touch. Compared with CULV notebooks and netbooks in previous years, ultrabooks have made great progress, but the outrageous price makes many people stay away. Today, Benshaw will give you a detailed introduction to the knowledge of hyperbooks, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of hyperbooks.

What does [ultrabook] mean? The advantages and disadvantages of ultrabooks

What does ultrabook mean?

Strictly speaking, the ultrabook is still a notebook, but an upgraded version of the notebook.

Ultrabook is another brand-new notebook product defined by Intel after UMPC, MID, netbook and ConsumerUltraLowVoltage ultra-thin notebook. Its main feature is light and thin, with extremely strong performance, extremely thin, extremely fast, ultra-long range, extremely dazzling vision five characteristics. The ultrabook is an ultra-thin, ultra-light, ultra-low-power laptop. Its size is now defined as 13.3 inches and it uses the same processor as a laptop without a separate graphics card. In terms of performance, the ultrabook is similar to Apple's MacBookAir and only as thick as a pen. Its main function is ultra-light, ultra-thin and easy to carry. With SSD, it wakes up very fast and sleeps on standby long enough. Normal use can last about seven hours, almost a working day, which ordinary notebooks can not do. The use of the new SSD solid state hard drive saves a lot of space, and the thickness and storage of the computer are greatly improved.

The advantages and disadvantages of ultrabooks

one。 The advantages of ultrabooks

Nowadays, ultrabooks are faced with such an awkwardness: whether it is hardware performance or super appearance, the advantages of ultrabooks are out of the question. However, when it comes to the price and positioning of ultrabooks, it has become the biggest obstacle to the integration of ultrabooks and users. Although ultrabooks have many advantages, such as slim appearance, lower power consumption, long standby, and even support for touch, price is the biggest pain point for ultrabooks. These appearances tend to make users feel "not worth buying" when considering buying ultrabooks, which alone is enough to deal a fatal blow to ultrabooks.

In addition to the ultrabook's own problems, it also faces the challenge of Apple's MacBookAir notebook. According to our survey, many consumers will think they prefer MacBookAir to ultrabooks. In a way, the advent of ultrabooks makes MacBookAir look more worthwhile, which makes many people think that ultrabooks are an unreliable product. Some people even think it will be as short-lived as its predecessor, the CULV (ultra-low voltage) laptop, but there are growing signs that ultrabooks will become the trend of the future.

In fact, ultrabooks have made great progress compared with CULV notebooks and netbooks a few years ago, but the outrageous price makes many people stay away. Consumers' greatest desire for ultrabooks is to see it cut prices in 2012, preferably with mainstream models falling to a mainstream price range of 5000 to 6000 yuan. If this wish can be realized, ultrabooks will usher in rapid sales growth, and the future will be clearer.

Speaking of which, many friends may not know what the theme of this article is. All right, let's summarize the core meaning of this article: this article will give you a better understanding of ultrabooks and solve many users' doubts about ultrabook game performance and low-voltage standby time.

First of all, let's talk about the advantages of ultrabooks, that's a lot. First of all, at first glance, it is that charming appearance, super body design, fashionistas believe that it can not escape the ultra-thin personality appearance; on the other hand, most of today's ultrabooks are equipped with solid-state drives. For us ordinary users, solid state drives can only be seen in some high-end configurations.

1. The ultrabook speed of SSDs is higher, especially the boot time is significantly improved.

Many users may argue that many users now choose solid state drives rather than mechanical ones. In fact, although many DIY users choose solid state drives, the main reason is that the price of mechanical hard drives is too high due to the floods in Thailand. Most users have no choice but to choose solid state drives. With the gradual resumption of mechanical hard disk production in the past 12 years, the price reduction of mechanical hard disk will be inevitable. Therefore, in the future, users will generally rely mainly on mechanical hard drives, and high-end configurations may only choose solid-state drives.

Today's ultrabooks will mainly carry solid-state drives, so ultrabooks will have a high starting point in the application of computers to the user experience, which is difficult for laptops or DIY computers to reach easily. These advantages can significantly improve the speed when our computer applications or computer startup time is significantly shortened. However, these advantages of ultrabooks also need to be realized by increasing costs, so it will still involve the price and positioning of ultrabooks.

two。 The portability of the ultra-thin fuselage is greatly improved.

There is no doubt that the ultrabook has excellent portability, and the most commendable thing is that the ultrabook maintains excellent portability and uses a 13-inch mainstream size segment, thus ensuring the visual experience of its users. However, the reliability index is set at four stars because there is still a lot of room for improvement in the portability of ultrabooks, as well as challenges from Apple's MacBook series.

The ultra-thin fuselage design and lightweight adapters take the portable features of the ultrabook to the extreme. In addition, with the continuous decline of hardware technology, ultrabooks will become more portable in the future than they are now.

Judging from the products already on the market, HPFolio13 is not that light in ultrabooks. But its weight close to the 1.5kg still ensures its excellent portability, while most other products are around the 1.3kg, while the Toshiba Z830's body weighs only 1.085kg, which is amazing. It can also be seen that there is still a lot of room for improvement in the portability of ultrabooks. Compared with notebooks, this is one of the biggest buying points for ultrabooks.

Actually, so...

3. The performance of the ultrabook is not bad.

Ultrabooks are designed with low power consumption, so many users are worried about the performance of ultrabooks. In fact, there are such doubts, which is also the reasonable psychology of most users. Once upon a time, netbooks focused on low-power processors and high portability. It was briefly warmly welcomed by many friends, but in the face of the embarrassing performance of netbooks, low-power processors and low-performance netbooks were mercilessly abandoned by computer enthusiasts. Today's netbooks are still a big failure in the market. Many users are worried whether the ultra-low processor power consumption of ultrabooks will also affect the performance of ultrabooks.

In fact, compared with CULV notebooks and netbooks a few years ago, ultrabooks have made great progress, but the outrageous price makes many people stay away, is the performance of ultrabooks enough? After testing, we found that the performance of the low-voltage processor based on the SNB platform is very good. It can be said that the performance of the low-voltage core processor based on the SNB platform is better than expected, and the new architecture gives the low-voltage processor new life. The low-voltage core i5 processor with a single core of about 3500 and a dual-core of about 7000 has the same performance as the conventional core i3 processor. At the same time, core graphics card is equivalent to the performance of entry-level independent graphics card, whether it is ordinary online games, daily office applications, high-definition video playback, can be easily achieved, so the performance can meet the needs of mainstream users.

Finally, of course, we have to talk about SSD solid-state drives. " Fast response "as a major selling point of ultrabooks, its most direct way to achieve is through SSD, whether it is directly equipped with large-capacity SSD products, or small-capacity SSD as a system, software cache products, have significantly improved in terms of system response speed and software running speed, so that the overall experience of its users has been improved, which is beyond the reach of traditional notebook computers.

4. The appearance of the ultrabook is more different.

Many users are tired of the stereotyped appearance of desktops and laptops, resulting in low creativity, resulting in small limitations for many users to choose and buy. But as far as ultrabooks are concerned, the designs of all ultrabooks are different, whether it is Lenovo, Acer, Asustek, Hewlett-Packard, Samsung, East Asia, Europe and the United States, each region has its own different understanding of the appearance of ultrabooks. Although ultrabook is a new notebook product, it is also the inevitable direction of notebook computer development. With the improvement of people's requirements for product design and the fixed aesthetic concept of people in a specific period of time, the ultrabook with metal as the main material arises at the historic moment, which is also the most important reason why the appearance of the ultrabook is not controversial.

So when it comes to the appearance of the ultrabook, many users are full of praise, saying that which feature of the ultrabook is the most reliable, that is undoubtedly the appearance. The inborn star makes it easy for you to bring up interest in it. Maybe when you first look back, the song of "just looking at you in the crowd and never forgetting your face" has already resounded in your mind.

Second, the shortcomings of ultrabooks.

1. The price is too high for ordinary users to afford.

The above introduces many advantages of ultrabooks, since the advantages are excellent, then the shortcomings that may be faced will be quite harsh. When it comes to the shortcomings of ultrabooks, the first to bear the brunt is the price. With tens of thousands of prices, there is no doubt that after showing the many advantages of the ultrabook, the stupid friends who plan to buy it will give it a slap on the head.

Since the listing, there is nothing more talked about about the price than the price, and the reason why the ultrabook still can not have a good sales performance after nearly half a year on the market, the main reason is also restricted by price factors. Price is the monetary expression of commodity value, and although the ultrabook has many advantages and is obviously different from the traditional notebook, in the final analysis, it is still a notebook, therefore, the ultrabook is still affected by the traditional notebook market, and the performance of its value is also measured by users by the way of measuring the traditional notebook, and even to cater to and adapt to the development law of the traditional notebook market.

So, what is the reason for the high price of ultrabooks? For traditional notebooks, the launch of each new platform is accompanied by a new round of upgrading, which can be said to be a natural thing for manufacturers who are already familiar with it. as a result, it will not bring great cost superposition. The super book is different, what it goes through is a process from scratch, the so-called innovation is easy to create, brand-new things have to pay a high price in terms of cost, and every link of mold, material, design and platform is the accumulation of costs. Knowing this, it is not difficult to understand that the price of ultrabooks is on the high side.

Due to the influence of current technology and cost, it may be difficult to reduce the price of ultrabooks to about 5000 yuan in the short term, because the direction of ultrabooks in the future is technological upgrading, and the first thing to do is to reduce costs and prices. After the price threshold is lowered, people will consider portability, practicality and other factors, and once these external factors are recognized The fate of ultrabooks will also change dramatically, let alone go to an end like low-voltage netbooks.

2. The market positioning is not clear.

Due to the high price, there is no clear positioning of the ultrabook since its release, which also leads to a wait-and-see attitude for many users who are confused about the ultrabook. From the sentence that "ultrabooks will create the best combination of performance and portability in the history of personal computing", we do not see a clear official positioning of ultrabooks, but emphasize the features and innovations of products such as ultrabooks. therefore, the future market positioning depends more on market mining.

From the point of view of the traditional notebook market, the launch of a new product, the official should first be its positioning, whether for home or business always have a view. For example, Lenovo small y is clearly aimed at family users and student groups, while products like Lenovo ThinkPad and Hewlett-Packard ProBook are clearly oriented to the business market. By contrast, the positioning of ultrabooks is less obvious, with the exception of HP's Folio 13, which is clearly aimed at business users, other products are vaguely defined.

In fact, the positioning of a product has a very direct guiding significance for consumers, the lack of positioning not only makes their own development confused, but also makes ordinary users confused. After all, not every consumer can understand the market and products. When they buy products, they need a subconscious product positioning to make targeted choices, if the positioning is not clear, it will make people feel that they are selling dog meat with sheep's head hanging, which is why many netizens commented that "ultrabook performance garbage".

3. The performance of large-scale games is seriously tested.

Although at the beginning, we introduced the ultrabook with the i5 processor, its performance has reached the performance of our general computer i3 processor, so the processor generally uses entertainment without pressure, with the high-performance core graphics card of the SNB processor, the performance is close to the entry-level independent graphics card, so the performance is more practical for ordinary users.

From the performance and characteristics of the ultrabook, it is undoubtedly a product mainly aimed at business office applications, because no matter from the performance point of view, or from the design characteristics, the ultrabook can get more recognition and affirmation from business users. However, there are still manufacturers who want to add Duxian to the ultrabook, which does not mean no, but that the positioning of the ultrabook is not clear enough. Perhaps with the development of technology, the future ultrabook can also show a clear line between household and commercial use, which is a good thing and provides users with more choices, but at least for now, if Duxian becomes a home entertainment book, heat dissipation is the biggest problem it faces.

Editor's comments:

Ultrabooks are currently widely praised by users of PC products, but due to the high price and unclear market positioning, ultrabooks have left a hazy shadow, so the future ultrabooks should focus on cost reduction and a clearer market to get more users. In any case, ultrabooks will become the weather vane of the future, with the development of technology, will eventually lead to the victory of ultrabooks.
