“顶置式计算机”这个词也许刚刚诞生了几天。但是,在2000年以前,如果它真的能够象预想的那样集中了PC与TV的特性的话,却可能成为计算机市场的主要组成部分。这种构想是由电视领域的技术革新和对计算机世界中新市场的需求造成的。数字化电视的播放工作将在明年开始,这是一种与当前的电视传输有着完全不同意义的工作。简而言之,以后的用户将使用新型的顶置盒或新型电视观看电视节目。为了不让传统的消费观念上的电子显示器占领市场,Intel正和它的合作伙伴向着顶置式计算机的目标迈进。 The term “top computer” may have just been born for a few days. However, by the year 2000, it could become a major part of the computer market if it really focused on the PC and TV features as expected. This vision was caused by technological innovations in the field of television and the need for new markets in the computer world. The broadcast of digital television will begin next year, a work that is completely different from the current television transmission. In short, future users will watch TV shows using a new set-top box or a new television. To keep the traditional consumer view of the electronic display market occupied, Intel and its partners are toward the goal of the top-mounted computer.
