The following is an introduction to netbooks:

The English name of netbooks is "Netbook".

[Edit this paragraph] Introduction

Intel's description of "netbook" is: "Netbook is a wireless Internet device using Intel Atom processor, which has the functions of Internet access, sending and receiving Mail and instant messaging (IM) and other functions, and can achieve smooth streaming and music functions. ”

A netbook is a laptop with incomplete functions. Precisely because of the incomplete functions, netbooks can be made less than 10 inches, weigh no more than 1.5 kilograms, and are cheap. Netbooks can have a series of entertainment functions such as instant chat, Internet surfing, sending emails, watching videos, and basic online games on the basis of energy saving.

The standard configuration of the first generation of netbooks is: (such as the early ASUS Eee PC)

CPU (Central Processing Unit): VIA (the third largest CPU manufacturer in the world - Taiwan VIA) Nano processor (with a physical core clocked at 800MHz) or equivalent processor

Memory: 512MB

GPU (graphics processor or graphics card) : Integrated graphics card

Hard drive: 20~40GB SSD (solid state drive) or 40~60GB traditional mechanical hard drive

Network card: 10/100M

Wireless Network card: built-in 802.11b/g wireless network card

The standard configuration of the second-generation netbook is:

(Currently on the market (early 2009) are second-generation netbooks.)

CPU (Central Processing Unit): Intel Atom? Processor Diamondville Atom N270 (has one physical core, and because it has Intel HT hyper-threading technology, it simulates two logical cores clocked at 1.6GHz front-side bus 533MHz 45nm manufacturing process L2 cache is 512KB)

Memory: 1GB DDR2 667MHZ maximum support 2GB

GPU (graphics processor or graphics card): Intel GMA 950 integrated graphics

Video memory: ***Maximum 128M (depending on main memory capacity)

Chipset (motherboard): Intel 945GSE+ICH7-M

Network card: 10/100M< /p>

Wireless network card: Built-in 802.11b/g wireless network card

Hard drive: 60~160GB traditional mechanical hard drive, up to 320GB supported

Camera: 1.3 million pixel camera

Supports VGA video output

The high-end version also has Bluetooth module, security keyhole, DC-IN interface, supports 2.5G or even 3G Internet access, etc.

Note: Some netbooks may encounter the problem of being unable to play 720P high-definition movies smoothly due to low performance. In fact, you can play it smoothly using the latest version of Kmplayer. Because Kmplayer has a "super speed mode" that accelerates the playback speed while ensuring image quality, it is worth using.

The size of previous netbooks was generally 7 inches (first generation), and now it is generally 8.9 and 10.2 inches (second generation). There are now a few 12-inch netbooks that weigh less than 1.5 kilograms. Mostly around 1.0-1.2 kg. Most of the keyboards are not full-size keyboards that are ergonomic. Only a few recently launched 10-inch netbooks are equipped with full-size keyboards. This is also one of its shortcomings: there will be a certain adaptation period for adults to use them. It is easier for primary and secondary school students to use.

"Netbook" is a term coined by Intel at the Computex exhibition in Taiwan last week. Before that, it did not have a Chinese name and everyone called it "Netbook". The market positioning is: first, business people who need a second or even third laptop; second, teenagers, primary school students and other groups who need to access the Internet to facilitate learning and application; and the third group of people are those in certain special professions. For example, reporters, geological prospectors and other people who often need to travel, and even housewives who like to speculate in stocks online are also the target groups of "Yi PC"; the fourth is the fashionable people who like to travel and novelty things.

Intel has a similar positioning for "netbooks". Relevant people from the company told reporters that "netbooks" are not only suitable for people who want to own a second or even third computing device, but also for students or users who are exposed to the Internet for the first time.

At the same time, Intel believes that the use of "netbooks" is different from traditional laptops: unlike laptops (or EPCBOOKs) that can create and edit content, "netbooks" are mainly used for "consumption" Mainly content, it can support online making friends, surfing the Internet, listening to music, viewing photos, watching streaming media, instant chat, sending and receiving emails, basic online games, etc.; while a laptop (or PC) can install advanced and complex software, Download, store, play CD/DVD, conduct video conferencing, open and edit large files, multi-task and experience richer games that need to be installed.

To put it simply, a "netbook" is a laptop with incomplete functions. "Internet access" is the core application, and Wi-Fi wireless broadband is the core function. However, it should be noted that the domestic Wi-Fi wireless broadband access environment is not perfect. If there is no Wi-Fi service around you, the "netbook" will not do anything.

Precisely because the maturity of Wi-Fi wireless broadband restricts "netbooks", ASUS chose the first stop for launching "Easy PC" in the U.S. market with developed wireless networks. At the same time, "Easy PC" is in China The market is always advancing at a "slow pace".

[Edit this paragraph] Full explanation of the parameters and performance of the matched chipset and graphics card

The 945GC chipset used by Atom is ridiculous. The core area and power consumption of the north and south bridge chipsets , much larger than the Atom processor itself. It really has the artistic conception of "little horse and big cart". This chipset is not designed for the very energy-efficient Atom, but Intel temporarily pulled out the old chipset for this important task. The power consumption of this chipset is about 25W, while the typical Atom is only 2W...

1. The first generation of Atom series notebooks, such as ASUS's EPC, was indeed equipped with the 945GC chipset. The situation is that Intel has not developed a suitable chipset for Atom. As a result, it can only be used with existing notebook chipsets instead of UMPC-specific chipsets. Therefore, the actual effect is that the power consumption is relatively large, reaching about 25W.

However, most of the Atom notebooks on the market now use the i945GSE+ICH7M chipset, and the power consumption is 5.5W (4W for the north bridge, 1.5W for the south bridge), which is very difficult for Atom. A reasonable combination.

2. The biggest difference between the streamlined Atom chipset, namely 945GSE, and 945GC is the GMA950 graphics card. Although the model is the same as GMA950, the graphics card frequency of 945GC is the standard 400MHz, while the 945GSE is 133MHz. Intel does this to reduce power consumption, but it is obvious that low power consumption has significantly reduced performance.

Therefore, using the currently popular Atom notebooks, you cannot run some popular 3D games smoothly (of course, Warcraft and CS can still handle it). Because the reduction in frequency brings about a 50% performance drop. But the video can still be played, and the 720P high-definition H.264 can be played smoothly. Although the CPU usage is very high, the VC-1 encoded video of the 720 is still not smooth due to the driver problem of the GMA series graphics card.

3. Was the previous 945GC really so powerful? We explored further and discovered some little "tricks" about the GMA950 graphics card: Now let's take a look at the graphics chip GMA 950: This is the IGP used by Intel within the i945 chipset. DirectX 9 compatibility and the ability to run Aero, applications equipped with Core Duo processors are common in portable PCs.

Intel uses the i945G version of the graphics chip with a core frequency of 400MHz on desktop computers, while the frequency is reduced to 250MHz in portable computers and to 166MHz in some ultra-portable notebooks. This time Atom is paired with a 133Mhz GMA950. In fact, the level of simplicity is not as serious as everyone imagined. This can be regarded as a balanced design.

Intel 945GM ——250MHz

Intel 943GML ——250MHz

Intel 940GML ——166MHz

Intel 940GMS ——133MHz

p>

4. It can be seen from the more comprehensive reviews on the Internet that there is not much difference in performance between laptops using independent graphics cards under XP and Vista, while the performance of single-core laptops using GMA950 drops significantly. A dual-core processor makes a lot of sense for running Vista on a machine like the GMA950 with integrated graphics: one core helps the graphics card, and the other core handles user tasks.

This has a lot to do with the characteristics of Intel integrated graphics. GMA950 is derived from the GMA900 series. It still supports version 2.0 of Pixel Shader and lacks hardware T&L and Vertex Shader functions, vertex rendering and geometric transformation, The light and shadow part still needs to be calculated by the CPU. But in fact, integrated graphics chips such as nVIDIA GeForce61x0 and ATi RS48x do not actually integrate hardware-level Vertex Shader and T&L engines in their cores. The triangle and vertex operations in the 3D rendering process must rely on the CPU to assist in acceleration. It’s just that the degree of dependence is lower than GMA950. The implication is that the 3D performance of dual-threaded or multi-threaded Atom netbooks with HT technology will be much better than the single-core Core microarchitecture Core 2 Celeron processor.

[Edit this paragraph] The difference between netbooks and notebooks

Appearance

First of all, in terms of appearance, although netbooks[1] and ordinary notebooks look very different Similar, but their screen sizes will be somewhat different. Most netbooks have 7-10.2-inch screens, while ordinary notebooks are basically above 10.2 inches. In addition, netbooks place more emphasis on portability, and most of them are small, thin, and colorful.

Configuration and performance

In terms of configuration and performance, netbooks basically use Intel Atom processors, emphasizing low energy consumption and long battery life, and the performance meets the needs of basic Internet users. Mainly based on demand, while ordinary laptops have more powerful multimedia performance. In addition, netbooks place more emphasis on wireless Internet access capabilities, and the hard drive size is not as large as that of ordinary notebooks.

Purpose

Netbooks are mainly used for surfing the Internet. They can support online making friends, surfing the Internet, listening to music, viewing photos, watching streaming media, instant chat, sending and receiving emails, and basic network Games etc.

Ordinary laptops can install advanced and complex software, download, store, play CDs/DVDs, conduct video conferencing, open and edit large files, multi-task, and have a richer experience that needs to be installed. Games etc.

Price

Currently, the price of netbooks on the market ranges from 1,500 to 3,999 yuan, while traditional notebooks are priced at 3,000 yuan based on the manufacturer’s positioning and user needs. It ranges from tens of thousands of yuan.

The difference between netbooks and UMPCs

Many people confuse netbooks with UMPCs. Netbooks are similar to smaller UMPCs (ultra-portable personal mobile devices) and MIDs (handheld mobile devices). Big difference. Compared with mainstream laptops, netbooks are small in size, low in price, and not as complete in functions as mainstream laptops; UMPC is also a concept proposed by Intel. Officials believe that it can only meet the requirements of "7-inch or smaller display screen" and "built-in touchpad". ", "The minimum resolution is 800×480" and many other conditions to be called UMPC. Judging from the current market situation, the size of UMPC is generally between 5.6-7 inches. Most of them have functions such as rotating screen or touch screen, and the price is much higher than that of netbooks. The MID is smaller in size than the UMPC and is more suitable for pockets. It is undeniable that netbooks have found the best balance between portability and cost-effectiveness.

It is worth noting that netbook computers are shaking the monopoly of Microsoft's operating system. Microsoft's Windows operating system is still too expensive for PC manufacturers who demand the cheapest netbooks. Jenny Lai, an analyst at CLSA Ltd. in Taipei, estimates that installing Linux on a computer costs only $5, compared with about $40-50 for XP and $100 for Vista.

Currently, about 30% of netbooks sold on the market use Linux operating system. Domestically, we are pleased to hear that the sales of Linux netbooks launched by Intel together with Great Wall Computer have soared. It is undeniable that Linux and netbooks have the same characteristics in many features. As more companies join in, netbooks will surely make breakthroughs in terms of functional features and cost-effectiveness in the future, becoming a popular product in the mobile era.

The term netBook originated from the British small computer manufacturer Psion Teklogix. The company launched a small notebook called Psion netBook a few years ago that was between a notebook and a PDA. The trademark "netbook" was registered with the Copyright and Trademark Office. Psion first used the netbook trademark term in December 1996. In late 2008, Psion decided to protect the trademark "netBook". Several Netbook enthusiast websites have received cease-and-desist notices from it, requesting that the term "Netbook" be removed. It gave a three-month deadline to remove the content by March 2009 or prosecution would be initiated.

According to the WhoIS.com database, the Netbook.com domain name was created on August 25, 1994, and was purchased by Intel on September 29, 2008. The registration information was replaced with Intel-related information.

In addition, with the recent rise of "shanzhai" culture, "shanzhai notebooks" have also become the strongest competitive force among all brands of netbooks. The framework solution led by VIA in Taiwan will make netbook products more diversified and develop. Faster and more personal.

A netbook is a lightweight and low-configuration notebook computer. Its specific function is to facilitate Internet access and needs to be paired with 3G Internet access equipment.

The disadvantage is that the screen is too small and it takes effort to read. Some websites have already paid attention to this problem. For example, epcbook.cn has made a large font URL directory for netbook users. Baidu search with large fonts is expected to provide different feelings to many netbook users.

In 2009, among the two pillars supporting the development of the IT (information technology) industry,

one is Netbook

and the other One is the gravedigger of Windows Vista - Windows 7

[Edit this paragraph] Netbooks cannibalize 12% of laptops this year

In 2008, the sales volume of China's netbook market was 900,000 units , but the sales volume of China's netbook market will reach 2.02 million units in 2009, a year-on-year increase of 124.4%. In the context of all other computer products facing a decline in sales, netbooks have become a unique product that is completely unaffected by the crisis. One-sixth of the market," said Guo Chang, an analyst at CCW Research General Product Research Department.

On April 15, China Mobile and 17 PC giants launched 29 netbook models, including Lenovo, Dell, HP, Haier and other manufacturers. According to reports, cooperation with PC manufacturers is divided into two types: in-depth cooperation and general cooperation, and the amount of subsidies is determined based on the intensity of promotion. Among them, the highest price is 2,100 yuan/unit, followed by 1,500 yuan/unit, and the most common cooperation is 900 yuan/unit. However, relevant PC manufacturers still have to complete sales tasks. For example, in order to receive a subsidy of 2,100 yuan, PC manufacturers must sell 90,000 units per quarter. Currently, there are six manufacturers that have become the highest-level partners of China Mobile's netbooks. They are Lenovo, Founder, Tongfang, Haier, HP, and Dell. Dell also specially held a press conference for TD netbooks on April 16, and said that there will be subsequent product launches to support China Mobile. Insiders said that quarterly sales of 90,000 units will not be a problem.

Almost at the same time, on April 16, China Telecom also unveiled more than 20 netbooks, and more than ten PC manufacturers such as Lenovo, Founder, Haier, BenQ, HP, and Asus showed their support. Many manufacturers confirmed that China Unicom's netbooks are also being ordered and are expected to be officially launched when 3G numbers are released. It seems that we have entered a new era of netbooks in an instant.

China Mobile G3 notebook computer is the first time that China Mobile has cooperated with various computer manufacturers to prepare for the 3G era and select customized notebook computers. It has a built-in TD wireless Internet module and the terminal support speed is up to 2.8MB/sec, and can be switched to 2G/GSM EDGE. At the same time, Internet access fees are bundled with existing China Mobile numbers to achieve unified invoices and bills. At present, merchants in Beijing only choose Gome Electrical Appliances for exclusive sale. The models currently customized and launched include HP, Haier, Dell and other three major brands. China Mobile will provide consumers with up to 2,100 yuan in phone and Internet fee subsidies.

Portable mobile PC, small size, low price

Netbook is an ultra-portable mobile PC whose main purpose is to surf the Internet. The size is mostly under 10 inches and is mostly used for Mobile Internet access on business trips, tourism and even public transport. Netbooks, with their small size and low price as their biggest selling points, have gradually become the first choice for many consumers when buying a second notebook when the financial crisis hits.

According to professionals from Gome, the G3 netbook is a notebook computer professionally used for surfing the Internet. It is mainly targeted at customers who pay attention to information at any time, such as stock traders, journalists, and various types of people who require timely information on the Internet. High number of customers, providing convenient and fast communication routes for various groups. The G3 notebook can freely switch between 3G and 2G networks. When customers use wireless Internet access in areas with good 3G network coverage, the rate can reach 2.8Mbps. When switching to the 2G network, the rate can reach 460kbps, which is very fast. Ordinary netbooks are often used as large-screen MP5s. How to surf the Internet outdoors has become everyone's primary consideration. In order to surf the Internet outdoors, everyone usually buys a wireless network card or connects through an external network terminal, but the speed and inconvenience caused by it are frustrating. The launch of the G3 netbook can completely solve the speed problem.

Wireless Internet access, no roaming charges, and uniform prices across the country

Currently, several G3 netbooks have been popular among consumers as soon as they were launched in various Gome stores.

In addition to preferential prices, Mobile G3 laptops have unified tariffs across the country. No matter where customers use G3 laptops to access the Internet anywhere in the country, the tariffs are the same and no additional roaming fees will be charged. In terms of Internet access fees, three types of traffic packages of 50, 100, and 200 yuan are currently available, and the excess monthly only costs 0.01 yuan/KB. After a rough calculation, you only need to pay a minimum of about 100 yuan per month to enjoy wireless Internet access to send and receive emails and chat using instant messaging software every day. At the same time, there is no roaming fee for wireless Internet access on "G3 notebooks". Wireless Internet access through "G3 notebooks" is at the same price across the country. For consumers who are ready to buy Internet notebooks, G3 notebooks undoubtedly bring an excellent opportunity to buy. .

G3 notebook and 3G tariffs

G3 notebook is a new notebook jointly launched by China Mobile and many well-known manufacturers. It has a built-in China Mobile 3G communication module and a variety of practical office and entertainment software. Customers can wirelessly access the Internet anytime and anywhere through the G3 mobile software pre-installed in the G3 Internet notebook to obtain information, entertainment or It is very convenient for mobile office needs.

At the same time, the sales price and subsidy amount of the G3 notebook are exciting. Let’s do the math. It originally cost about 3,500 yuan to buy a traditional laptop, and it cost about 1,000 yuan more to buy a 3G wireless network card. But now you can have a built-in 3G wireless card for only about 3,500 yuan. G3 notebooks with Internet access modules can also receive free phone calls and Internet fees of up to 2,100 yuan, which is equivalent to currently buying products worth about 4,500 yuan for about 1,400 yuan. For consumers who are ready to buy Internet notebooks, G3 notebooks undoubtedly bring an excellent opportunity to buy.

"The Internet fee for G3 notebooks will be directly deducted from the phone bill of the Global Telecom number bound by the customer. I believe this setting will provide customers with more convenience," said a relevant person from China Mobile Guangdong Company. After GSM brand customers purchase a G3 notebook, they can use the built-in Sui eXing client to log in to China Mobile's "Sui eXing G3 notebook business application website" for free, select a tariff mode, and bind it to the customer's current number for payment. The ability to use global airtime charges to pay for laptop Internet access. The person also said that G3 laptops have unified tariffs across the country. No matter where customers use G3 laptops to access the Internet anywhere in the country, the tariffs will be the same and no additional roaming fees will be charged. In terms of Internet access fees, four traffic packages of 50, 100, 200, and 300 yuan are currently available, and the excess monthly only costs 0.01 yuan/KB. After a rough calculation, you only need to pay a minimum of about 100 yuan per month to enjoy wireless Internet access to send and receive emails and chat using instant messaging software every day.

It is understood that the G3 notebook can freely switch between 3G and 2G networks. When customers use wireless Internet access in areas with good 3G network coverage, the rate can reach 2.8Mbps. When switching to the 2G network, the rate can reach 460kbps. , this setting will undoubtedly give reassurance to consumers who are still hesitating. "In 2003, when China Mobile first started to pre-store phone bills and give away mobile phones, I thought it was a very good deal and bought a customized mobile phone at that time." Mr. Xu, a customer of Global Communication, said, "Now we have started to customize laptops. It is so discounted and convenient, and of course it is more I need to get one soon!”

With its successful experience in the mobile phone field, I believe that China Mobile will create a new round of Internet notebook market consumption boom through its G3 notebook strategy. According to a source from China Mobile Guangdong Branch, taking Guangzhou as an example, the consumption power of young consumer groups, mainly college students, is not low. The fashionable positioning and preferential price of G3 notebooks are in line with the college student market and will soon be available in the market. A consumption trend has formed on campus. Starting from the 12th, G3 notebooks can be purchased at the designated "Communication 100" service halls in Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In the next stage, they will also be publicly sold in major stores such as Gome, Suning, and Computer City. Consumers will be able to easily experience the 3G era. of wireless Internet access.
