Microsoft and Intel are responsible for the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/12619.html ">pc industry is in a difficult position today, specifically:

Microsoft: Windows and X86 have strong profitability, which makes them reluctant to explore other areas. At Microsoft, anything that could hinder the development of the Windows business will be shot down. Its system has a first step in its dream, but the Windows 8 system PC is no different from the traditional PC, which makes users very confusing and reduces their desire to consume.

Intel: Japanese manufacturers beat Intel in the memory market thanks to government subsidies. At a critical juncture, Intel decided to give up the memory business to focus on the processor product, but Intel failed to show the same boldness in moving from the X86 architecture to the ARM architecture. This is not because Intel is not technically able to make this transition, and the main reason is that the company has resisted such a shift from within.

But there is also a saying that is well worth pondering: cloud computing is the end of the PC!

Two years ago we were talking about how long will PCs remain in a smartphone and tablet-led market? And now the deterioration begins, we have to admit that the culprit is good enough "concept calculation".

1 flat, low power, cheap super This experience is not comparable to the traditional PC experience, whether the overall processing power or the complexity of the application. For example, you go to Las Vegas to attend a consumer show, you can take a notebook, without a PC, but you certainly will not without a tablet phone, because this you want to take photos, you have to work, you want to rest in the hotel time to watch the film.

At present people choose tablet, in essence people choose is their incomparable lightweight and 8-hour battery endurance, and that just meet the needs of the computing power, but to completely replace the PC, the need is equivalent to the powerful processing power of the existing PC, and it is what we call cloud computing. Only cloud computing can seamlessly transition to the post-PC era, allowing the PC software ecosystem to enter a healthy state.

2 There is no complex cloud-based app, whether it's iOS, Android, Win RT API or apps that are equivalent to desktop apps, or through the existing enterprise licensing model, it's impossible to realize the real revolution in the post-PC era. The process is not done overnight, but the number of PCs purchased is falling, but it's not that fast to think it's going to disappear completely.

2012 bulky laptops on the desktop system almost no progress, so that the remaining channels of the tablet computer access to a good market, post-PC era, OEM is not completely hopeless, like Lenovo as a positive transformation, the production of Lenovo ThinkPad A product like tablet is a transition method, because we have to wait for cloud computing to end the PC, and before this comes, it's not hard for a traditional PC to turn a lightweight tablet, because it's better than quitting, isn't it?
