笔记本电脑是今日便携式电脑领域的王者;明天,便携式电脑会是什么模样?IBM 公司的内藤在正先生在日前举办的“我思故我要”新闻发布会上向与会者展示了一款今年2月11日研制成功的新品 MetaPad。这种手掌大小的设备具有一台普通 PC 所具备的完整的体系结构,这一点使得 MetaPad 成为一台真正意义上的 PC,从而有别于现在市场上所存在的 PDA 产品。重量仅为250克的 MetaPad 长12.7厘米、宽7.6厘米、厚1.9厘米,高达800MHz 的 CPU 令现在的 PDA 望尘莫及,而128MB内存、10GB 硬盘、带有8MB 显存的3D 图形加速卡,配上 Windows XP 操作系统,这种“火力”即使与今天的主流笔记本相比也毫不逊色。MetaPad 身型小巧的秘决在于将大功率电源和传统I/O 设备移出电脑的主体部分,而将处理器、内存、硬盘和主板高度集成,并使用小巧的触摸屏。这种结构实际上彻底推翻了传统的设计思路,即把某些通常被认为不可或缺的部件(如大体积的显示器)变成了选件。用户只需在必要的时候,把“被移走的”组件通过标准接
Laptop is the king of today’s portable computer field; What is the appearance of a portable computer tomorrow? Mr. Naito, IBM Corporation, presented a message to participants at a press conference recently held by “I think, I want,” February The successful development of the new MetaPad on the 11th. This palm-sized device, with the complete architecture of an ordinary PC, makes the MetaPad a true PC, differentiating it from the PDA products currently on the market. Weighing just 250 grams, the MetaPad is 12.7 cm long and 7.6 cm wide and 1.9 cm thick. CPUs up to 800MHz make today’s PDA unimaginable, while 128MB of RAM, 10GB of hard drive, 3D graphics accelerator with 8MB of video memory, and Windows XP Operating system, this “firepower” is comparable to today’s mainstream notebooks. The secret of the MetaPad is to move high-power power supplies and legacy I / O devices out of the main body of the computer, while integrating the processor, memory, hard drive and motherboard with a tiny touch screen. This structure effectively overruled the traditional design idea of turning some of the components that are generally considered to be essential, such as bulky displays, into options. The user simply passes the “removed” component over the standard as necessary
