Always connect the PC, Lenovo's Snapdragon released tomorrow
Globally, smartphones have brought many changes to life.At present, 60% of the world's population has a mobile phone, a smart phone is the digital life of the city, but it is also a variety of network nodes, and now a variety of services can be Done on smartphone.
Qualcomm previously conducted a survey of consumers in China and the United States, the survey showed that for notebook demand, 60% of Chinese consumers need faster connectivity, 40% of the need for endurance, the US consumer demand is just the opposite. However, the demand for these two notebooks is the same, that is, connectivity and battery life Qualcomm Snapdragon platform notebook mainly to solve the three problems of the traditional notebook: First, to achieve anytime, anywhere connection, the use of mobile networks and WiFi two Second, you can sleep, restart, shut down, open the screen is available, the third is to get rid of the power cord, you can reach more than 20 hours of long life.
At the Snapdragon Tech Summit a month ago, Qualcomm came up with the concept of always-connected PCs, and the benefits of smartphones are ported to PCs that are lightweight, fanless and batteryless for over 20 hours without the need to carry a power cord, All-day available, stay on, these will override the user experience. Operating system is still familiar to all windows, the new user is really attractive.
Recently, we see the ASUS NovaGo equipped with win10 operating system and HP ENVY x2 first Xiaolong Technology Summit, but did not see the Lenovo figure, do you really think that the PC giant Lenovo did not catch the first shuttle Xiao Long? The fact is not So, tomorrow (January 9) at 11 am, Lenovo's first Snapdragon to be released, really looking forward to.
