The pens I used in those years...

I used the earliest notebook and it was TOSHIBA. It was the Pentium 133MHZ's "big and heavy" book. However, at that time, in the era when everyone used "586," even a laptop with a heavy weight was a ridiculous thing. In fact, the first notebook of its own is the Thinkpad T41 2373BC4. The model is so clear, because the laptop is still there, but it is no longer possible to boot. The T41 book was accompanied by a few years of study abroad, full of memories, and so on, to have a chance to toss it and see if it would be "resurrection." For the Thinkpad series of notebooks, before it really is a special liking, before buying T41, before the major forums (at that time there is no Taobao, businesses are in the BBS shop, such as TOMPDA) to do homework, compare various models, and finally T41 Hong Kong Water was selected. At that time, it was more than 1W. It took a long time to get it.


After the used notebook is the Thinkpad X series, in order to be portable, gave up the built-in optical drive, but the weight is really a lot of light (of course, the price is also outrageously expensive). First X61, later X200... Personally think that after the brand Thinkpad changed from IBM home to Lenovo home, the quality dropped slightly, but the price gradually became closer to the people. Later, due to the rise of smart phones, the attention to notebooks was gradually reduced. Later, because of the need for media work, I purchased a 15-inch Macbook Pro and slowly began to get used to the Mac OS system. Deep in my heart, the plot of the Thinkpad has been lingering, especially after the introduction of the X1 Carbon, it has rekindled the enthusiasm for the Thinkpad, but because the existing notebook is enough, it can only stay in the The heart as a thought.

In early 2016, I dealt with my family’s old notebooks that I’ve used in the past 10 years, including the Thinkpad R51, X61, X200, and T41 (later reluctant to stay) and there’s another HP and one. Taiwan DELL.

Three newer laptops were left, an HP Elitebook 2540p, a Macbook air and an ASUS Taichi dual screen superbook. Elitebook is like this, the interface is quite complete, even the telephone line interface (later know dial-up)...

Open the back cover and find that the expansion is not low, you can toss about

Memory can add a DDR 1333MHZ, but the official said the highest is 8G, try again

Do not understand a bit here, SATA interface? ! It's still up. There's a fan above it. It's called how I add hard disks...

The original hard drive is integrated with a USB interface, this turn can also be replaced by SSD, no pressure ...

Open another cover, there is a network card interface, but also a 3G network card? ? ? There are two more lines reserved, but I will not use...

Configure the following table, it is good, office use more than enough

Elitebook is pre-installed with Windows 7 Professional, but after trying to upgrade Windows 10, it found that there was a problem and had to restore the system. This book is currently the original configuration, and then upgrade the memory and SSD after a while. The current configuration also cannot play games. If you are tough, you will be very stuck.

ASUS taichi dual-screen ultrabook, divided into inside and outside screen, touch screen, i7 low-voltage CPU, 256GB SSD, 4G memory, feeling configuration is not bad, the same can not upgrade Windows 10 (although with the official or push prompts to upgrade WINDOWS 10) But Asustek's official claim is that if Windows 10 does not guarantee drive compatibility, so it is still honest and practical WINDOWS 8.1, and hope that WINSOS 10 charges before the ASUS official can be a compatible driver, let me catch up with the last "free car" . Although the external screen is a touch screen, the heavy weight of the camera body cannot be used as a tablet with the hands of the Surface pro. Especially when running large-scale software, the fan speed is increased, and it is directly blown against the wrist. It takes a long time to be hot, and it really cannot be maintained. Therefore, the positioning of the external screen personally feels that it is used when a screen presentation of a projector is replaced with a small one. use. At the same time, because it is a super-integrated graphics card, pro-testing can not be "squeaked," honestly used as an office notebook.

Close the internal screen, the external screen is automatically turned on by default, yes, you can hold the tablet, but it is also a "fingerprint collector", but the screen share is slightly lower, adding a lot of weight.

ASUS Taichi is also an 11-inch screen notebook. Due to its dual-screen design, the thickness and weight are definitely heavier than the Macbook air, which is less than 250 grams.

Macbook air is a mid-2011 version, i5CPU, 64GB SSD, because the space is too small, once idle, and later in the SSD expansion, really "full of blood," is my most commonly used laptop, taking into account the daily use of the same time , but also to do some lightweight video clips. Specific look here

Put a few photos of Macbook Air and ASUS Taichi

Sometimes it feels that the notebook is still light and thin is the king, ah, especially in the era of iPad and other flat-panel popular, even the iPad Pro began to develop productivity software tools, if the traditional laptop can no longer be innovative, one day will be eliminated ah. However, the current tablet can not completely replace the notebook, personally think that the main reason (personal point of view, the gods light spray):

1) Usage habits

Most people are accustomed to the start menu button, my computer, and the appearance of the control panel, suddenly became a flat interface, which naturally increases the cost of later learning. (The Surface Pro 4 bought by the family is transferred to the tablet mode by the evil spirits, and the tablet interface will not be used.) For example, although the iPad Pro can be connected to an external keyboard, other operations still need to be completed with a touch screen, which takes a long time. Will be very tired, no mouse points to facilitate. This point, Surface Pro, and Surface book with a mouse touchpad on an external keyboard, is considered a better solution. Second, the use of placement, the notebook can be placed on the leg, lying on the bed to use, the screen to adjust the angle. However, iPad Pro and Surface Pro can't do it yet. Look specifically at the moving picture (Surface book is solved)

The above is a simulation of the screen falling down when sitting on the sofa to adjust the sitting posture. Of course, if you hold the Surface Pro on the legs, if you do not pay attention to adjust the bracket, the screen may also fall backward, serious The situation will fall directly to the ground.

2) Performance

Performance in this regard, although the performance of the iPad Pro claims that the official can be overwhelmed with the notebook, all the major God-level evaluation also confirmed that the hardware is indeed quite a few notebooks, but the problem personally feel that it is still in the software. Surface Pro and Surface book performance is to keep up, but the price is indeed not cheap.

3) Interface

Summarized in one sentence: notebook has a USB interface, the file can be copied out, iPad Pro not. This is also a bit of a connection with the use of habits, many people still think of the USB disk to share files is the most direct method. Not everyone is very influx, where can the mobile phone scattered a WiFi spot, said: "I EMAIL you." To a big point of the file on the lap.

Well, here it goes: Let's talk about the Surface Pro 4. JD discounted later. The family just said they wanted to buy it. They took it down, but they wouldn't use it. This doesn't just write my evolution history. Personally feel that Surface Pro is actually a tablet notebook, remove the keyboard, open the tablet mode, that is, flat, then the keyboard is the notebook. I5 CPU, 4G RAM, 128GB configuration for office use. This looks like a notebook, just like other PC notebooks...

The tablet mode can be enabled in the settings, or the keyboard will pop up with the message “Whether to open the tablet mode?”

The main interface of the tablet mode, the parents of the age of about 50-60 can see "a look of anger." Of course, the parents of the iPad 6 should be "inferiorally," a little guide to get started quickly.

Microsoft App Store, with the Apple app store different things. The only difference is that, for example, the QQ downloaded from the app store is different from the QQ version you downloaded on Tencent's official website. The main functions are the same, but the interface is slightly different. In addition to QQ, there are Youku, Storm Video, etc.

How do you look at this split-screen display, reminds me of the iPad Pro... Whoever copied, we don't discuss it, it's easy to use...

Above said so much, be regarded as a small summary of personal experience with a notebook, but also took the analysis of flat and flat notebooks, time is rushed, writing is not good, please bear with me, thank you.
