Laptop hit the province do not lose | Mobile office is the future

On the last CES2018, Razer presented a product called Project Linda, which looks like a laptop, but in essence it's not a notebook but a piece of handset hardware because it's a No processor, memory, motherboard and other components, need to use with Razer Phone mobile phone.

Just when the product is on display, many of my friends say that this is just a RGB wave product from a lamp factory, which is a more in-depth play on RGB and is not helpful for practical purposes. But you do not know that this may be the near future One of the forms of mobile office. The fever school, we talk to talk about the future of mobile phone development will go from here.

Desktop usher in the spring

In many people's impression, desktop development is still a relatively featureless, because the phone hardware performance constraints, the external system architecture requirements make it mature in the current notebook office, it is difficult to form a scale. However, in the strict sense, because there is no special desktop optimization and interactive mode of operation, investment and can not be regarded as desktop expansion. In fact, we have entered the desktop to expand the spring.

Now that we've talked about Razer Project Linda, let's take a closer look at this large 'phone accessory' (estimated to be no cheaper than a cell phone) Project Linda connects Razer Phones with the USB Type-C interface , This time a laptop is formed, and the phone is precisely in the touchpad position, can be used as a touchpad and the second screen.

Compared to the notebook, this expansion useful? More professional operation certainly not as good as a real laptop, although Project Linda is equipped with a 13.3-inch 120MHz HDR screen, 200GB storage, 53.6Wh battery, but the main performance is still responsible for the output Mobile phone mobile phone processor is naturally difficult compared with the computer processor.And the desktop has not yet extended large-scale popularity of the moment, more specialized software adaptation is also a problem.

Anyway, this kind of desktop development is also good, that is to avoid the trouble of data migration.For example, we use a different computer, want to play the game, you have to have the new computer also has the game Install the package; want to continue working, the new computer you have to have the corresponding office software and work data accumulated before.Although there are cloud disk can be to some extent, to solve this problem, but the bulk of the data packet upload and download is obviously a waste A lot of time.

In addition, the portability of mobile phones is unmatched by laptops.Not all scenarios are suitable for taking out a notebook to use, but the phone is not so limited.For busy business people, the use of fragmentary time is obviously very Important.At this time, the desktop mobile phone can achieve the seamless development of the office, greatly improving the utilization of time.

The reason why the desktop to usher in the spring, because more and more manufacturers began to focus on mobile office.Current listing of the more typical products include Samsung's flagship model and HUAWEI Mate 10 series models.Samsung through DeX Desktop docking station to achieve the connection of mobile phones and other peripherals, HUAWEI Mate 10 series requires only one cable, mobile phones and large screen display different content, keyboard and mouse peripherals require a Bluetooth connection.

Windows or will rule the desktop to expand

When it comes to desktop development, one of the most important issues that can not be ignored is the software system adaptation. Most of the expansion devices we have seen now are revisions of the Android system. The advantage is that the Android system has been quite mature now. Obvious problem is that its development focus is on entertainment, too few for the professional office, resulting in limited desktop development functionality.

Not long ago, Samsung introduced an application called 'Linux on Galaxy' that allows users to run Linux on their mobile phone and extend the picture to the desktop through DeX. The possibility of running multiple operating systems.When users need to use the phone operating system can not function, in this application to switch to the Linux operating system environment, you can achieve the desired operation of the program.

Although Linux on Galaxy has strong compatibility, but the problem is that this application is more suitable for professional developers to use.In addition, limited by the compatibility of ARM architecture applications, can not run x86 architecture applications.For ordinary users to Said that a logical and intuitive, operational recommendations, a more compatible system is even more needed.Quote and Microsoft's cooperation just let us see the hope.

At the WinHEC 2016 hardware conference, Qualcomm ARM chips successfully launched Windows 10 operating system, the news was released, and the scene also shows a running Office Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 computer, this computer is equipped with the system is Windows 10.

In the recent CES2018, we also saw a laptop equipped with Snapdragon 835 mobile platform, Lenovo Miix 630. Compared to the traditional PC, its advantages more from the Snapdragon 835 in the wireless network Innate advantages, while life can also be upgraded to 20 hours performance performance, and the entry-level business rather.

See here, I believe we also understand that, although there is no mobile phone can be a desktop to expand Windows, but the technology base already has the future of the Surface Phone may be the first desktop to expand Windoes 10 phone. , For other Xiaolong mobile phones high-end mobile phones, desktop-friendly Android + Windows dual system is not without the possibility.

Expand the final shape more than that

At present, desktop development is also difficult to shake the traditional laptop status, in addition to the system fit not in place, the most significant resistance lies in the hardware performance and shape.We just mentioned, equipped with the Snapdragon 835 Lenovo Miix 630 performance only with the entry Business-class flat, running large-scale programs and games is obviously a bit difficult to current hardware level, desktop development is more suitable for light entertainment and light office, large-scale games and specialized office can not meet.

About performance, lack of what is a good idea to fill up what we said at the beginning of the project Project Linda, equipped with a battery and storage, in order to meet the needs of the desktop to extend the life and data retention related to the current mobile desktop performance Not enough, then add a desktop in the accessories to enlarge the performance of the desktop processor is not impossible.Of course, this can also provide a reference for the direction of development of the PC, how to make mobile and computer more convenient linkage will be an important issue in the future.

In addition, the form is also related to the desktop can subvert the traditional PC industry.We now see the desktop to expand the form is as follows:

Huawei Mate 10 series models of desktop development, more like a U disk micro-computer, the office needs a full set of hardware peripherals;

Samsung covers the world of high-end desktop desktop development; more like a desktop, office needs a full set of hardware peripherals;

Moto z 2018 in the tasting session, moto has exhibited a keyboard model for mobile office model, only need to connect the monitor can be expanded;

Finally, Rachel Project Linda, no other peripherals to achieve the operation.

From these forms of desktop development, the first two are suitable for use in fixed peripheral environments and can not meet the portability requirements of mobile office basically. The moto keyboard module is suitable for a hotel with a screen and can meet specific portable requirements. Project Linda showed good portability, but the problem is that its portability has not significantly improved compared to laptops, and its advantages are not enough to offset the disadvantages compared to laptops.

So, want to subvert the PC industry, the performance and shape needs to evolve.Naturally improve the performance of nothing to say.While the form wants to have more advantages than the laptop, you have to have more portable screen, keyboard and other peripherals, such as Curly scroll screen, a small projection keyboard and so on.

Write in the end

Of course, mobile office is not only a desktop to develop a train of thought, folding mobile phone is also a good form - both to solve the portability problem, but also solve the problem of screen display is too small.So Microsoft's mobile phone business Has been sluggish The situation may change after the listing of a foldable Surface Phone equipped with Windows 10.

In the end to dig a hole: the strongest equipment is no equipment in the technological changes, the image display through the micro-glasses, human-computer interaction through the brain waves to receive control, the smart phone into a body part for terminal computing and all things connected. Of course, the development of science and technology to this level, the need to do without human office is another matter.
