Chapter 486: The Fierce Rival of the TH Group

Xu Qing and his entourage came to the laptop R&D area, and the person in charge of laptop R&D was also waiting for Xu Qing and them.

It's all your own people, no nonsense, just visit.

Xu Qing has seen quite a few laptops from other computer companies, with the ThinkPad having the most laptops.

According to the person in charge, ThinkPad laptops in recent years are available here, and they have bought a lot of each model for research.

Xu Qing saw that the table was a little messy, and there were a lot of notebook parts, which should be the corpses of other peers' laptops.

It's miserable, it's dismantled like this.

Xu Qing asked the person in charge, can these dismantled laptops be reassembled?

The person in charge replied that it could be put back on, but the life span might be greatly shortened.

Because the parts of these laptops have been disassembled by them over and over again, in the process of disassembly, it is inevitable that they will wear out.

Xu Qing picked up a ThinkPad 560 that has not been disassembled, which is currently the ultra-thin benchmark in the laptop industry.

Xu Qing picked it up and swiped it in his hand, feeling the weight of 1.9kg.

Very light, much lighter than the ultra-thick game book Xu Qing used in his previous life, Xu Qing's game book is more than 3kg, which can kill people.

Judging by the appearance, there is not much difference from the laptops of later generations.

10 years ago, ThinkPad built its first laptop, which weighed 9.5kg, and it was really capable of killing people.

After 10 years, the ThinkPad computer is already so light.

This year, if nothing else, ThinkPad will launch an epoch-making laptop, the ThinkPad 770.

It is the world's first laptop computer with a color LCD screen and a built-in DVD.

The screen resolution of ThinkPad770 has reached 1024 X 768, which is not much different from the 1366×768 screen resolution of many ordinary notebooks in later generations.

In addition to the appearance, the screen is the hardware part that makes people feel the most.

As soon as this screen resolution came out, it immediately made people feel that they had come to a new world from the original bright and blind laptop screen, and the world had never been so clear.

The DVD function is also a very important feature, although the DVDs of laptops have basically been canceled in later generations, but now it is completely different from later generations, and it is of great significance for laptops to carry DVDs.

The screen size of the ThinkPad 770 is a standard 14 inches, which is rarely found in current laptops, and the vast majority of them are smaller than 14 inches.

14 inches is the golden size of laptops in later generations, and it is the size that most laptops have.

In addition to these epoch-making features, IBM has crammed the most powerful CPU, GPU and other hardware into it in order to make the ThinkPad 770 the strongest laptop in the world.

So the ThinkPad 770 has a big drawback, it is too heavy, 3.5kg.

3.5kg is not a small weight, and a man in the prime of life will feel a little tired when carrying it for half an hour.

This has brought a huge obstacle to the sales of ThinkPad770, and it has become a popular product.

The reason why most consumers buy laptops is because they value the portability of laptops, otherwise they are better off buying desktops.

ThinkPad 770 is so heavy, how often do they take it out.

IBM also recognizes the mistakes they made with the ThinkPad 770 and will launch the ThinkPad 600, the best-selling laptop in ThinkPad history, next year.

Basically, the features of the ThinkPad770 are all available to the ThinkPad 600, and the weight, thickness, and volume are much better than the ThinkPad770.

Xu Qing feels that the current ThinkPad is more worthy of attention than Apple's laptops.

So he asked the laptop R&D personnel to buy all the products of the ThinkPad in recent years and focus on research.

Xu Qing previously wanted to buy ThinkPad, but IBM, ThinkPad's parent company, disagreed.

They have a lot of money and don't need to sell their ThinkPad to make money at all.

If the acquisition fails, then ThinkPad will be one of the biggest competitors of the th group laptops in the next few years.

Xu Qing asked the person in charge about the research and development progress of the laptop, and the person in charge replied that the research and development could be completed before October this year, and then it would be officially put into production.

The difficulty of developing a laptop is lower than that of a mobile phone.

In particular, Xu Qing asked the first mobile phone designed by TH Group to be more difficult to develop than the products of other mobile phone companies.

In order to develop this mobile phone, Xu Qing spent a lot of money to dig up many top talents from Motorola, Nokia and other well-known mobile phone companies.

Xu Qing has a lot of money, which can naturally attract a lot of people, and Xu Qing was scolded by those mobile phone companies that dug into the corner.

In newspapers, on television, and on the Internet, they condemned Xu Qing's poaching behavior.

Call on the U.S. government to sanction Xu Qing, and call on technology-related companies to boycott Xu Qing.

However, their appeal was useless, and the TH group only said in the media that this is a normal recruitment behavior, and both sides are willing to do so, and there is no coercion, which law has been overturned.

What's more, although the TH Group does not have many assets now, Xu Qing has promised to invest 10 billion US dollars in the TH Group in the next three years.

With an investment of tens of billions of dollars, no mobile phone manufacturer currently has this strength.

Isn't it normal for those who have been recruited by TH Group to see TH Group so good and yearn for it.

The companies, universities, and mobile phone design institutes that protested against Xu Qing and the TH group soon died down.

In the first place, they had no law to support their actions, and at most they could win the support of public opinion.

The reason why they protested was because the TH group poached people this time made them feel the crisis.

It's not because there are too many people to dig, the people who dig are very important, in fact, there are not many people who are digging this time, and they are not their core talents.

But they can see the aggressiveness of the TH group from the second digger, and it is not a good thing for the TH group to make mobile phone products.

Although the heritage of TH Group can almost be said to be none, they are companies for decades or even more, and they have a very thick heritage.

But a lot of money can't stop a lot of money, and many companies that think they are great because of their rich heritage have died in the tide of history.

If the first mobile phone launched by TH Group can sell well, the threat to them is very great.

TH Group is backed by Xu Qing, Xu Qing's net worth is more than all their companies combined, and in terms of money, it is definitely not as much as TH Group.

With the support of more money, coupled with the hot sale of the first product, then the hot sale of the second product seems to be a natural thing.

The cake in the market is so big, Xu Qing eats a large piece, and others will eat one less.

Who wants to eat one less piece of cake for themselves.

They thought about using patent barriers to hinder the research and development of TH Group's mobile phones, but TH Group has also obtained many patents through the acquisition of small and medium-sized companies in various mobile phone industries.

And because of the law, there are a few very important patents that they can't use to make trouble.

This makes them depressed, and who is not depressed if they want to eat less cake.
