Chapter 198: The First Laptop

The original 59,800 car, upgraded battery pack, directly sold to 70,000+, the same price and Polestar X can be selected, more space, longer battery life...

Of course, Chen Zifan also knows that there are many people who like Xinghan's exterior design, but Polestar X always feels that it is not so distinctive, and the brand power of the Polestar brand is obviously not as good as Xinghan Zhixing.

Although he often says that the brand is not important, it is only because Xinghan Zhixing is a new brand, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are expensive, and the brand occupies a large factor, and these things are also valuable.

It's a real hit that can be put in the price.

The long-endurance version of Xinghan is not nothing, Chen Zifan's Xinghan is a version modified with a super-large battery, and the theoretical mileage can exceed 400K, but it is certainly not suitable for mass production.

The mass-produced long-range version has to be considered comprehensive, and the driving experience cannot be sacrificed for the sake of battery life, unless it is like Chen Zifan who has no requirements for driving quality, after all, he also drove very cool in the previous Dandan car, but it was a little less entertaining.

And the person who rides in his car will be miserable.

In fact, no matter what kind of car (family car), the driver must be more comfortable than the person who sits in the car, and the wind noise, tire noise, and engine noise of some cars are very loud, which is a kind of torture for rear passengers.

Fortunately, Xinghan has done a very good job in these aspects, and because it is a tram factor, there is less engine noise, except for the high-speed limit, which can not run more than 120, and there is basically no problem with others.

Most of the people who drive Xinghan are also mainly commuting, and they will not pursue too strong performance, nor will they think about overtaking a car on the highway or something...

The main reason for the need for a long-range version is that there are many areas that are too far away from the city and the city, such as a certain town, if you want to go to the city, it will be 200 kilometers back and forth, and you don't dare to drive around the city...

In this case, long battery life is necessary, but one reason for this demand is that the number of charging piles and charging stations is not enough, and less than half of the more than 600 cities in China currently have charging stations.

So there's still a long way to go...

Li Yuan believes that the cruising range limits the sales of Xinghan to a certain extent, and if a long-range version can be launched, the sales of Xinghan can be increased by at least 10%, but the price issue is more critical.

The current cost of lithium sodium batteries is theoretically lower than the cost of pure lithium batteries, in fact, there is not much difference between the two, Xinghan's 20k battery pack is upgraded to 30k, and the cost will increase by about 5500 yuan.

Add to Xinghan's 59,800 yuan (fast charging version) price, selling for 69,800 yuan, if you follow the routine of other manufacturers, the 315 endurance version of the car will definitely have to sell for more than 70,000 yuan.

But Chen Zifan thinks that it is not necessary, Xinghan also has an important role in opening the new energy vehicle market, selling it so expensive at every turn affects sales, and it is not cheap now, it still takes a little courage to spend tens of thousands of dollars to buy a tram~

After a simple calculation, Chen Zifan replied to Li Yuan, asking him to prepare the long-endurance version of Xinghan, and other configurations remained the same.

At the same time, the market research on Xinghan 001 personality options is almost OK, first out of a few appearance options to test the water, directly look at market feedback.

Chen Zifan also told Li Yuan by the way: "In the future, you can just watch this kind of thing yourself, you don't need to inform me every day, you are also very clear about the development concept and planning of Xinghan Zhixing, there is no need to do this every time."

It's really a bit too much for him to take care of, and since he handed over Xinghan Zhixing to Li Yuan to manage, he didn't let him make any decisions, which was somewhat unreasonable.

He also believed that Li Yuan would not mess around casually, just like this time, Li Yuan must have known that he would agree to make a long-lasting version of Xinghan, so he brought up this matter, and Li Yuan would not mention it if he was not sure.

With Chen Zifan's words, Li Yuan was relieved, first arranged the matter of the Xinghan long-lasting version, and then held a meeting to vote, and selected several personalized appearance parts that Xinghan 001 was ready to launch.

In the end, all the electric motorcycle direct stores of Xinghan Zhixing were renamed and changed to Xinghan MOTO, and a wave of personnel transfers was carried out by the way

Ma has become a new look, especially in the field of electric motorcycles, and he is also preparing to build a new electric motorcycle factory.

In order to prepare for the next few new products, he also knows that the outside world is very controversial about Xinghan Zhixing's expansion of electric motorcycle business, which is bigger than new energy vehicles.

It can't be helped...

It's also thanks to the overall atmosphere of this year that it's not bad, if it's 2022, whether it's film and television works or real life, whether it's a fuel motorcycle or an electric motorcycle, the negative image is greater than the positive image.

Most of the scenes where motorcycles appear in film and television works are illegal, gangsters, urban drag racing, modifications... Not to mention in reality, some Internet celebrities who don't have a driver's license and don't have a sense of safety take off at every turn.

Every three or five times, you have to get two of them.

It's no wonder that this can be so good.

It's just a means of transportation, isn't it good to ride honestly? Do you have to make it a controversial topic?

Fortunately, there are still many normal people in reality, and Chen Zifan also knows these problems, so he is preparing corresponding solutions in advance, but not all places are Haicheng, and not everyone has to take a driver's license.

All he can do is to help Haicheng enhance its influence as much as possible, and then influence more cities, and popularize the awareness of safe driving, not only electric motorcycles, but also driving requires a stronger sense of safety.

After the work of Xinghan Zhixing was handed over to Li Yuan, Chen Zifan could also devote himself more attentively to the work of Xingchen Technology, building a building is one thing, and now everyone seems to be saying that he likes to build a building, which makes him speechless:

"Others like yachts, estates, airplanes, I just build a few buildings, who doesn't have a hobby?"

In the past, there were no conditions, but now that there is money, people, and drawings, infrastructure construction must not be carried out?

And another job is to continue to prepare new products, the Stardust 4 series has been arranged, and the Stardust-Yaoluo is also being prepared, and the technology of air charging is being tested every day, and it will be ready for mass production soon.

The only difficulty lies in how to make the charger smaller, the current air charger due to the internal structure is too complex, but also to ensure the transmission and temperature stability, the volume can not be too small.

But in this way, the ordinary plug-in board plugs in a charger is full, and the project leader provides Chen Zifan with two opinions: 1. Reduce the charging range, and then reduce the volume. 2. Make a special plug-in board.

Specially designed for air chargers!

Free up an outlet for it to use, usually just throw it there like a router, the charging range is exactly a bedroom, when there is no power, you can lie down and manually choose whether to start charging.

It can also be set to start charging as soon as it enters the charging range, if the battery is fully charged, then the phone will not use the battery power first, but will use the power released by the air charger first.

Will it be recharged from the battery when you play?

This is certainly not enough,The maximum charging power of air charging can reach 20,The main heating sources are concentrated on the power adapter,There is almost no impact on the mobile phone,And the power of the whole machine of Stardust-Yao Soul is only in the early 10s,With 20It is completely enough。

10 also refers to 10 in the limit state, and 5 is already OK for daily use.

It's no problem to play while charging!

As for reducing the range... That's definitely not possible, trying to optimize the power adapter structure can't reduce the charging range, and it has too much impact on the experience.

It is enough to continue to let the structural designer optimize it, if there is really no way, the volume will be larger, and Chen Zifan will not think that consumers who can spend 20,000 yuan to buy Stardust-Yao Soul will be so demanding on the size.

After all, it's a new way to charge!

What's wrong with Big Point?

It's called steady!

AR glasses also have a special project team in charge, the current progress is not bad, mainly because the first version has few functions, if you add a "giant screen" to AR glasses, then the workload will be affected by them.

I don't know how long it will take to debug alone.

It is still unknown whether it will be released in June next year, but if it is replaced by something else with a complete supply chain

new products, then the research and development progress will be very fast.

At the last high-level meeting, many high-level executives put forward the idea of entering the PC side, but they came up to Nvidia and AMD, and it is obviously unrealistic to seize the host and graphics card market, and laptops are a relatively safe and easier direction to achieve.

But Stardust Technology already has a tablet!

If you build a laptop and you can't carry the o system, you can't use o, you all use Stardust OS, so what's the difference between it and a tablet? How to make a difference in the product is the difficulty.

Stardust Technology's current tablet PCs are all 10.8 inches in size, which is also a "golden size" of tablet computers, in Chen Zifan's memory, whether it is Apple or Android, the size of the best-selling tablet is about 11 inches, no exception.

It can hit 12.6 inches on the top and 8.8 inches on the bottom, so although the call for other sizes of tablets in the Stardust community is very high, Chen Zifan has no idea of a new model for the time being, in his opinion, the tablet 12.6 and 13.3 inches have come to an end, and no matter how big it is, it is not suitable.

Like a tablet over 14 inches...

The cost and price are very high.

Ordinary people don't have a need for this.

Why do you want to be so big?

When a workstation? Why not use a desktop?

Lenovo's savior Y900 is a living example, a 14.5-inch tablet, sold from 4999 yuan, 12GB storage is also 5999 yuan, Chen Zifan feels that Lenovo never thought of selling this product at all, it turns out that the sales are really miserable.

The product positioning is not clear,It's strange to be able to sell it,5000You can choose the mainstream 14-inch thin and light book on the market,What is it like to buy an Android tablet?

So according to Chen Zifan's idea, if you want to distinguish between Stardust Tablet and Stardust Notebook, you must first distinguish it from the size, the maximum size of Stardust Tablet is 12.6 inches, and the size of Stardust Notebook starts at more than 14 inches~

And there will be two more versions:

They are 14 inches and 16 inches.

The positioning is all thin and light (no independent display).

Next is the highlight that really differentiates tablets and laptops: CPU, the chip used by the Stardust tablet is the same chip on the Stardust mobile phone, at most it is stronger than the performance release of the mobile phone.

The CPU of the laptop is completely different, it will be redesigned separately, and the volume of light is at least 4 times larger than that of the tablet, and the performance is naturally needless to say, and the mobilization of the whole machine is also very strong.

The performance of the CPU alone can reach 55~60, plus the core display (GPU) and other power consumption, the power consumption of the whole machine can reach 90~100, which is nearly 4 times the level of the tablet.

Of course, the above is only a theoretical state, and it still needs to be tested, and the performance release is too strong Sometimes it is not a good thing, and the heat dissipation may not be suppressed, which means that the noise will be relatively large.

The specific products need to be more balanced.

Even so, the performance of notebooks is much stronger than that of tablets, and with such strong performance, it means that Stardust OS can do more "professional" things, and distinguish it from Stardust OS on mobile phones and tablets, becoming a real PC system.

But don't forget that Stardust OS has been parsed as early as the time of [synthesis and creation], and has joined it, and now that there are conditions, it is completely possible to divide a team to specialize in the PC system.

This is the main difference between a tablet and a notebook, and the rest is different in appearance design and shape, Chen Zifan will not play Apple's fanless design for the time being, quiet is quiet, but the heat dissipation can't keep up, and it is easy to overheat protection at every turn.

But this does not mean that he will not pursue a quiet use experience, it is normal to use a fan at the beginning, and when the cooling technology is further developed and the notebook CPU is more mature, he will naturally try to update the design.

Just do it, Chen Zifan immediately drilled into the core area of the Stardust Factory, and he really prepared a lot of design drawings about the light and thin book, which can be referred to in his memory

There are also many products, such as Lenovo's Xiaoxin, YOGA, LGgra, ASUS Zenbook, Dell Inspiron, etc.

There is also the unbounded mechanical revolution at the high cost performance, these products are cheap and expensive, but the most in line with Chen Zifan's expectations and the positioning of Stardust Technology products, as long as LGgra, is big enough! Light enough!

The appearance is also high enough!

LGgrayle's appearance is much higher than the products of some first-line manufacturers, but the price is a little more expensive, and it belongs to the products that go sideways.

Even if Chen Zifan doesn't like LG's patent troll, he has to admit that they do have a hand in the product, in contrast, Lenovo Xiaoxin's design is a bit decent, but the price seems to be okay.

The system carried by the Stardust notebook is different, and it is necessary to use a sufficiently attractive design to pull some consumers into the camp of Stardust Technology first.

Of course, the final price of the Stardust notebook will definitely not be as crazy as LG, and the thin and light notebook of tens of thousands of yuan is no longer a product that most consumers can afford, if the price of the Stardust notebook can be set at 5000~7000 The price range is very good.

It also avoids the overlap in the price of tablets.
