Chapter 232: Soft and Hard
Under Chen Zifan's arrangement, the price of the 128GB version of Stardust-Shaguang is set at 5899 yuan, and the 256GB version is set at 6399 yuan, which highlights the high cost performance of the 512GB version.
At the same time, the cheap 1100 yuan has also successfully lowered the entry threshold for Stardust Technology's first PC product.
Don't underestimate the price difference of 1100 yuan, it really makes some consumers who didn't plan to buy Stardust-Shake Light excited about this product.
As a simple example, the famous 2021 Rescuer Y9000P in Chen Zifan's memory, Lenovo set the price of i7+3060 at about 8999, and its cost performance can be said to be incomparable to the brand.
It's more expensive than it, and it's not as good as it's about the same price, coupled with Lenovo's brand power and huge after-sales system, so that the Rescuer series has truly become the "all-rounder" in the game book.
But in 2023...
Lenovo set the initial price of the 2023 Legion Y9000P at 9999, and it is out of stock.
Even if the CPU is upgraded to the Core i9, it still comes with the X version, and the graphics card is upgraded to 4060, which is not enough to support the price difference of 1000 yuan, because the depreciation of electronic products is very fast, and these configurations are within the normal range of upgrades in two years.
How does Lenovo do it?
A G5000 is a bottom-cut leek, which seems to be very cost-effective, but in fact, the product power is very stretched.
Then raise the price of 7000 and 9000 series, the ideal is very beautiful, the reality gave them a slap in the face, consumers are not fools, other manufacturers are not fools, who likes to blatantly cut leeks?
And it's been two years, won't other manufacturers upgrade their products?
As a result, the reputation of the 2023 savior has plummeted, and the sales volume has been greatly discounted under the influence of the economic environment.
That's the price of an extra $1,000.
However, Stardust Technology does not need to worry about this, because no matter which version of their product is, the cost performance will not be bad, and it will not be like many manufacturers, which seem to have a lot of configurations, but in fact, they are forcing consumers to choose one of the configurations.
So what's the point?
But Chen Zifan didn't pay much attention to the matter of Stardust-Shaguang, after he arranged the work to Zhao Wuxian, he was in the core area of the Stardust Factory while learning from [Stardust Technology] and making products with the group.
The boss warmed up in person!
Many members of the R&D team said that the pressure was great, but fortunately, although many R&D personnel saw Chen Zifan for the first time in reality, Chen Zifan was not as demanding on the work as rumored.
It's a bit approachable...
And Chen Zifan's professional ability is really beyond the cognition of many R&D personnel, they can't understand why Chen Zifan is so young, but in the field of technology, he is no less than the top boss in the industry?
Even some super difficulties that they didn't understand when studying experiments, as long as they put them forward, Chen Zifan could give a reasonable answer from theory to practical solutions.
So as soon as Chen Zifan appeared, and when he was free, several professors in his sixtieth year came to him with thick documents to ask him about theoretical and technical questions, which made Chen Zifan a little overwhelmed.
He'd rather all the beautiful girls who come to him...
What's the point of being with a bunch of old men every day? Moreover, these old men were all sent to the door from the official side, and they came to work in Stardust Technology.
"MD, I'm old, it's not good to take care of myself at home, go out to bask in the sun, walk my dog and play chess, and brag to the old lady about how wonderful my life experience is, what the hell is it to treat me here every day to engage in cutting-edge technology products?"
Of course, Chen Zifan just complained a little in his heart, everyone has their own ambitions~ These are all heavyweights, and the professional level is not to mention, with them, the progress of the next few products of Stardust Technology can be increased by more than 30% at least.
And even if he wants to find a beautiful girl...
How many young people can join the R&D team of Stardust Technology? Kitano Menglin, a capable turtle boss, is already the youngest group just by looking at his age, and he is 11 years older than Chen Zifan, no matter how young he is, there is really no one.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little remorse for himself that he had been admitted to Haicheng University, but he hadn't been to play for a day, and he knew that he should have taken some time to take a look and get to know a few more senior sisters~
But he just said that, the situation of Stardust Technology back then did not allow him to have so much time.
For researchers...
The more they come into contact with Chen Zifan, the more shocked they are, not shocked, shocked, they boast that they are also the dragon and phoenix among people, not to mention the top in the industry, and they are also the big guys on the top of the pyramid, but compared with Chen Zifan, it seems that it is really nothing.
Chen Zifan is like an all-round encyclopedia, there are few problems that he can't solve, and not only that, he can provide guidance in many research and development directions.
That's the most important point.
In their words, Chen Zifan is the "chosen son", a real "genius", and his achievements may reach an unimaginable level in the future.
Chen Zifan always smiled faintly at such an evaluation, only he knew what his situation was, as he came into contact with more and more internal information, he was also constantly filling in the technology of [Stardust Technology] during this time, and continued to [Synthesis and Creation].
In the process, he also saw a lot of technologies that he found incredible, almost only seen in science fiction movies, which was simply too exaggerated and intoxicating!
Even if his psychological age is nearly 40 years old, and he has seen countless shocking science fiction works more than ten years later, after seeing the new technology [synthesized and created] in [Stardust Technology], he also has an unbalanced mentality and wants to be desperate for crazy thoughts.
What he saw was real!
It's not like science fiction!
It took Chen Zifan three days to calm himself down, the birth of anything is not achieved overnight, and the road has to be taken step by step.
Youth is his greatest asset.
Chen Zifan will not be like Jobs, who has left, he obviously created an era with his own hands, but he failed to see what the future looks like, he not only wants to create a new era, but also feel the glory of the times!
With this belief, Chen Zifan's state of dedication to work was directly full of firepower, which made other R&D personnel dumbfounded, and his temperament was also deeper, which was a very big change from before.
If I had to describe it...
The previous Chen Zifan was more casual, there were a lot of things he cared about and didn't care about, he had his own goals, but the goals were not so clear, so that Stardust Technology went through many project revisions in its development.
Sometimes it's too urgent, sometimes it's too slow.
For example, at the beginning, Stardust Technology did not have a plan for PC products, and Chen Zifan always believed that smartphones could really replace PC products, and there were tablets, so there was no need to do more.
But the reality is different...
He ignores the fact that the process of getting there is a long one, and that he always wants to get everything in one step to make all aspects of a product "balanced and perfect".
Actually, it's not possible.
Chen Zifan ignores the need for diversity.
Stardust-Shake Light is a good example of this, and while he has set aside a remedy, it also shows that he didn't plan it when he was planning.
Fortunately, it's just the beginning.
In the two months between the end of December and the Lunar New Year holiday on February 10, he can do so much.
In an ordinary person, a few months can make earth-shaking changes, let alone a huge super company like Stardust Technology?
It just depends on whether people want to do it or not~
At the same time, Zhao Wuxian's side also determined the two versions of Stardust-Shaking Light after lowering the entry threshold, and put them into production as soon as possible.
The Stardust Marketing Department also released news in various channels, among which the earliest and most authoritative announcement is naturally from the Stardust community and the official website of Stardust Technology, and the announcement clearly states that two new versions will be put on the shelves on January 12.
And the selling price was directly announced:
128GB, 5899 yuan.
256GB, 6399 yuan.
And how long has it been since Chen Zifan confirmed the two new versions of Stardust-Shake Light?
It can also be put on the shelves directly in a short time.
What is the efficiency of the execution of terror?
What is the production capacity of horror!?
When some manufacturers see this... Several well-known high-level executives couldn't help but sigh:
"Hey..."
They are still in meetings, still arguing about whether a project can have future prospects and interests, and when the major shareholders are still timid, Stardust Technology has been constantly adjusting and widening the gap.
This also gave some people an idea:
"Why don't you go to Stardust Technology?"
But from the idea to the practice, the process is still 108,000 miles apart, no matter what they want to do, it will not have much impact on Stardust Technology.
For consumers, the emergence of the new version of Stardust-Shake Light is definitely a good thing, Stardust Technology is the first time to make PC products~ It is understandable to make a little mistake in tactics, hasn't this been changed?
And who knew that the tactical mistake was not a "deliberately arranged" scene directed and acted by Chen Zifan?
Because of this, the popularity of Stardust-Shake Light has really increased a lot, and the specially established Stardust-Shake Light section in the Stardust community has too many topic posts and videos to discuss every day.
First of all, there is no doubt about it:
Stardust-Shake Light's hardware configuration is really top!
Many people have been dealing with computers for almost ten years, and they have never seen a laptop with such top hardware.
Can't fault it at all!
Just one screen is enough for all opponents to drink a pot, not to mention its appearance, workmanship, and sense of quality.
The most talked about is praising this:
"Today I went to a stardust direct store, and I saw Stardust-Shake Light, 14 inches is a little smaller than I imagined, but it is really beautiful! It's so beautiful! β
"Yes, I was immediately intrigued!"
"I didn't know how to choose the four colors when I put them there, but in the end I chose coral."
"This one is so pretty!"
"I chose white, white is more durable..."
"Stardust-Shake the light with the screen is amazing! My desktop screen can't even adjust the brightness, this has several modes to choose from, and the clarity, in contrast, my computer screen is like a mosaic. β
"After watching Stardust - Shake the light, then look at the other screens... It's really uncomfortable, how uncomfortable! β
ββ¦β¦β
Praise the appearance, workmanship, screen, and good service of the Xingchen clerk, but the most important thing about a laptop depends on the use experience, which is also one of the reasons why many people choose to wait and see first.
It just so happens that the Stardust community provides a platform.
There are not only unboxing and evaluation of self-media, but also the real experience of countless real consumers:
"Stardust-Shake Light has been in the first three days,6999Floating clouds,I haven't found any problems at present,Stardust OS is very easy to use,As advertised at the press conference,Windows capable Stardust OS is all capable!"
"I was most worried about the software before, but when I went to the store, I found that I thought too much, Stardust OS integrates all the genuine software on the market into an application store, and there is no need to flip through the web page one by one, maybe it will be infected with viruses."
"This must be praised!"
"The interface of Stardust OS is so clean! It's beautiful! By the way, it doesn't need to install antivirus software, my computer has three antivirus software installed alone, and suddenly I don't need antivirus software, and it's a little uncomfortable..."
"Huh? Don't you need to install it? The first thing I did when I bought it was to download 360 and Kingsoft Poison! β
"No, uninstall it."
"Think about the mobile phone you use, Stardust OS has official participation, if it can be invaded by viruses, it is better to think that we may be XXXX..."
"Hey, don't you dare to talk nonsense!"
"The interface of Stardust OS also looks very comfortable, and then look at my previous desktop main interface... It's messy like something, and I'm worried that I can't find the file every day. β
"Friendly reminder: Stardust OS's app store is not only software on the windows side..."
There is also the data exchange software on the mobile side of Stardust OS, as well as the unique productivity tools on the Apple camp, but the things on the Apple side are not easy to take, and Stardust OS only got a part.
The cooperation was not negotiated, there was no way.
Truth be told, really heavy computer users won't use laptops as their primary work tool, and the rest of the consumer demand will be better met.
As the operating system closest to the full version of Stardust OS at present, how can there be a problem with the user experience? It's nothing more than a process of adaptation, and those who have just come from Windows may not be used to it~
But there's more:
"I used industrial software to test a lot of Shengong S1 this CPU,The results surprised me,First of all, it can be strong,Single-coreγMulti-core performance is strong enough,Especially multi-core,I don't know how to describe it,It's very unreasonable...
The stability of multiple rounds of stress testing is also very good!
The heating performance is perfect!
The room temperature is 26 Β° C, and the highest temperature in the keyboard area during the oven is only 38 degrees, and the body feels just warm, by the way, Stardust-Shake Light keyboard typing feeling is very good, clean, neat, and has a strong sense of feedback.
The fan is also very quiet...
It is reasonable to suspect that Stardust-Shake Light can be without a fan, but Stardust Technology still equipped it with dual fans.
Finally, there is the entertainment experience, its speakers are probably the best of all the notebooks I have used so far, the sound quality is very pure, you can't hear any noise at all, it has a very wide range, the bass is deep, the treble is thorough...
One of the only drawbacks for me may be that it is too small, and it is really inappropriate for a boy to have big hands and thick fingers, and it is a bit inconvenient to have a USB port that usually has to be connected to a docking station.
But the docking station is free of charge, so it's okay if you don't have to buy it yourself, and I'm looking forward to Stardust Technology's next computer!
It's better to get a desktop..."
