At the same time that Conte TOEFL was annoyed, Zhang Chen thanked intel, and continued: "In addition to the CPU, the graphics card is also a big heat dissipator. nVidia has also shown great strength in this regard, and the riva128 uses the NV3M chip, which was developed by nVidia specifically for the mobile market. Although the speed is 15% slower than the standard version of the Riva 128, the volume and heat dissipation have been significantly reduced. You know how fast the Riva128 is, even without the 15 percent, it's still the fastest 3D display chip. ”

After that, Zhang Chen opened the iBook, "Microsoft launched the direct3d5.0a version two months ago, well, I know everyone is more supportive of Glide, but seriously, 5.0a's D3D is really not bad, it supports MMX instructions, fog effects, Alpha blending and other 3D special effects, and S3 texture compression. If we put aside our preconceptions about Microsoft, we must admit that this is a better program interface than Glide. Of course, let's use D3D's built-in test system to see how fast this chip is. ”

Direct 5.0a has already started to come with its own beta program, and the textures and lighting rendering that would seem very rough in later generations are perfect in this era of 2D graphics cards.

The flickering labyrinth under the light of the torches, the flying goblins, and the clear fountains, with the strong support of the NV3m chip, the smoothness and fineness of the picture completely exceeded the expectations of the audience.

No matter how complicated the scene is, the display of the iBook remains smooth, and it also dispels the last trace of doubt about the performance of the iBook.

"God, how did they do that?" Conte Tofl was dumbfounded, and Mike and Evan beside him didn't pay any attention to his expressions and were whistling excitedly.

"To be able to pack so many high-performance accessories into this delicate little box, Matrix's talented engineers have made hundreds of improvements to the internal structure and accessories of traditional notebooks. For example, fans. Zhang Chen continued, "Our engineers have developed a special silent fan, which is very thin, only three millimeters thick, but the air volume is 30% larger than that of traditional fans, and the noise is reduced by 10 decibels. Also included is our butterfly-shaped chocolate keyboard, you see, the buttons on it don't look like inlaid white chocolate? When we made this keyboard, the biggest concern was that the user would be too hungry and eat it. ”

The audience burst into laughter again.

Zhang Chen also smiled: "Perfect industrial design, perfect performance, perfect hardware configuration." For other brands, doing one of them may already be a successful product, but we are Matrix. ”

Conte TOEFL couldn't help but be stunned, what's the matter?

Zhang Chen changed the slide to the next page: "In the initial matrix, everyone saw that we did not divide iBook into portable products. It's not that it's not portable, in fact, the book is classified as a mobile product. ”

"Mobile products are something that you can use with your iBook in any environment. And if you can't connect to the Internet all the time, the role of the computer is reduced by half. That's why we've built wireless into all of our iBooks!"

"Wherever there's an airport, you can use the iBook to connect to the internet wirelessly!"

Conte Toefl slammed the armrest of the chair: "I see!"

Originally, in Cont's view, the airport was just a gimmick, and perhaps it might be useful in the future. But in this era of desktop-dominated computers, Airport has no use at all, it is just a product to show off its skills.

It wasn't until Zhang Chen took out the last set of hole cards that Conte TOEFL suddenly realized that airport was not prepared for desktops at all, and what Matrix wanted to do at the beginning was the notebook market!

Conte Toefl was clouded with a haze in his mind, and perhaps, in a few years, Matrix could really become Dell's mortal enemy.

"Finally. Zhang Chen waited for the hustle and bustle of the audience to calm down a little, and made a quiet gesture, and the audience knew that the most critical place had arrived when they saw Zhang Chen's expression.

Sure enough, Zhang Chen gently stroked the iBook a few times, "The pricing of the iBook is our biggest headache, the production difficulty of the iBook is too high, and the cost is far beyond our estimate." Let's take a look at the prices of other brands, of course, their highest configuration is only the Besturn MMX233, BM's thinkpad700 series, which is inferior to the iBook in all aspects of configuration and features, at $3550, Dell's Inspiron3000, which costs $3299, and HP's EVO's N series, which costs $3500. ”

The pricing of notebooks in this era is absolutely sky-high, Zhang Yimou's "Something to Say" was just released a few days ago, and the Toshiba 486 notebook that Jiang Wen paid to Li Baotian only has 500M hard disk, 8M memory, and in95 It is difficult to run, but the price of Huaxia is as high as nearly 10,000 yuan.

When every audience at the scene saw the iBook configuration, they already had a certain psychological expectation of the high price. The United States was at its most powerful and wealthiest time ever, with per capita incomes as high as they were twenty years later.

Even so, getting people to shell out $4,000 for a laptop, with the exception of a small group of tech enthusiasts, is far beyond most people's affordability.

But when Matrix released iCom, it surprised everyone in terms of price, maybe the pricing of iBook will be the same?

Zhang Chen looked at the audience with hopeful eyes, and did not continue to sell Guanzi: "$2499." ”

All the audience breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, within the acceptable range.

Zhang Chen continued: "Same as iCom, iBook also has two configurations, and this price is the high-end price I just introduced. The other configuration uses the PII233 CPU and trident9750 graphics card, and the rest of the configuration and functions are the same as the high configuration, priced at $1999. ”

What!?, Conte Tof's heart shook.

As a professional, the moment he saw the specific configuration of iBook, he silently calculated the production and channel cost of iBook in his heart.

Dell's cost is already quite low in the industry, even if the management cost of Matrix is not as high as Dell's, but the shipment volume of the two companies is several times different, he does not believe that the cost of Matrix can be lower than Dell.

Even Dell, the notebook that made this configuration, the various costs combined, the price must be at least $2800 and $2400 or more to have a net profit of about 10%.

You know, Dell's net profit margin this year is 21 percent! If any product has only 10 percent profit, then this product line has been cut long ago.

Could it be that Matrix is making money at a loss?

No way, it's impossible for any company to do a loss-making business. The only possibility, then, is that Matrix costs less than Dell!

Is the air conditioner too cold? Conte TOEFL only felt that he shivered, and the hairs on his body stood up.

Although it was late, it was sent out and slept.
