Guide : in 2009 the PC industry, what makes you most disappointed? Divergent views on the industry. To this end, we have engineered the current “the year’s most disappointing event named” special section. ZOL Computer Division after a number of students of heated discussions, the top three has finally landed.
“Annual of the most disappointing events” Runner-up: the computer go to the countryside
Economic crisis, stagnant consumer market, Acer A110 battery
people’s desire to purchase have been greatly reduced. In such a depressed economic environment, the Chinese began an up to 4 trillion economic stimulus package. Among them, “home appliances to the countryside,” is considered a massive concentration of national resources is the first development of a typical case of the rural consumer market.
After the strong demand of the domestic computer makers and the government repeated study, the computer has finally been incorporated into the “household appliances to the countryside,” an integral part of, and from early 2009 began in earnest to implement.
National authorities for the countryside because of the quality of the computer, configuration, Acer AS09D34 batteryand even operating systems have strict requirements.
This allows manufacturers and channel partners that will take some time to prepare for adaptation related products. Therefore, the countryside policy since its introduction in the computer a few months before, sales are not going well.
It can be seen from the data, go to the countryside computer sales growing, from monthly sales of less than 1% of the market as a whole countryside, to October has accounted for nearly 10% of the market. As can be seen, the computer market is Acer Aspire 2930 battery still relatively rural areas of concern. But it is undeniable that less than 10% of the share so that we do a little disappointed that this falls far short of our previous expectations.
In addition, the same it is disappointing that the computer go to the countryside in the international brand. From the statistics we have seen, Lenovo, Haier, Founder, with side dominant on the four domestic brands, while the foreign firms is almost impossible to get involved in the domestic rural markets. Even in the global PC industry, HP ranked first, only to sell around 20000 units, it can not be with the domestic brands in the same breath. The sales of certain brands and even in the single Acer AS09D36 batterydigits, it is appalling.
Lost from the collective international brands saw their largely due to the international brand awareness of the rural market, lack of channel construction is not in place for this. A huge rural market makers also need to be further development and construction, must have international brands will not let this piece of blue ocean. After seeing the success of domestic brands, I believe that international manufacturers will step up construction of rural channels quickly added to the tide of the countryside.
“Annual of the most disappointing events” Runner-up: cottage Notebook
Numerous this year, big media coverage, it is easy to see that this year is the cottage for one year of this rampant, but also cottage Army rapidly disintegrated year. Ups and downs of the year so difficult for us to success or failure of products for the cottage an accurate definition. But the reason we believe that this year’s cottage is disappointing, because the appearance of the cottage did not succeed in the price of the genuine laptop down.
The Internet to join in this cottage, once disrupted access to the Internet at the time of this hot market, not only the price low enough, the configuration is not the Internet of the poor than the genuine. A lot of users flock to scramble to buy this “affordable”Acer AS07B51 battery products.
It is undeniable that this is indeed a cottage down the Internet access copies of the genuine price. Was frequently more than 3,000 authentic online book, has now been reduced to a certain degree. But for ordinary laptop prices affect the market, it becomes useless.
As the homogenization of the Internet in this serious, one after another transformation of this cottage. There were pronouncements cottage owners, will be turned to the Internet in this of the single market, personalized, high-performance, ultra-thin and other market segments. Many user carries a beautiful vision of hope-filled cottage waited Acer Aspire 3050 battery
outside the secure their access to this market. Of course, these users are not cheap cottage in order to purchase this, but hope to join in this cottage will give the overall notebook market set off a price war.
However, the cottage is a cottage, cottage owners pronouncements ambition seems superficial, and unconvincing. It is expected that the low-cost laptop cottage during the year, shines into the reality or not, not to talk about the price of a traditional notebook topple the. According to this year in July of the ZDC’s research report said this year’s mainstream notebook is still maintained at 5000-6000 yuan price segment. Attention, from the top ten brands, most of the brand’s average price in excess of 5,000, only the average price of the Shenzhou and Acer 5000 yuan.
According to another ZDC is on the laptop price to consumers of psychological research report said that the current users to buy notebooks kept at the psychological price of 3,000 yuan -8000 yuan. Among them, the psychological price at 3,000 yuan -5000 yuan accounted for 37.3% of consumers in the quantity, but the price in the notebook market, the actual proportion is not very high.
It appears that cottage into a traditional notebook market, and will bring down the price of genuine laptop battery is only our wishful thinking the idea of Bale. Cottage, and finally device difficult to National Cheng Kung University.
“Annual of the most disappointing events” Champion: 3G Internet access in this
In 2009 the first year is considered 3G. In April, 3G and the PC industry, the relationship between them in an unprecedented closeness.
April 15, 2009, China Mobile PC makers together 17 high-profile release of the 3G Internet access, 3G and laptop the first time together, this is the first time, operators and PC manufacturers such close cooperation, but also superior operator PC in-depth cooperation with the “first time that.” Subsequently, China Telecom and China Unicom have also launched a 3G Internet access to this service.
3G anytime, anywhere on-line, Internet this thin portable, the two complement each other. Presented a scene of prosperity in front of everyone, 3G and the Internet in this combination is considered the perfect marriage.
In order to accelerate the pace of 3G promoted by operators to provide users with the practice of large subsidies in order to accelerate access to this sales, and thus the rapid expansion of 3G services. The subsidy program, once launched an immediate and effectively stirred up the user’s purchases, and to allow consumers toAcer Aspire 3100 battery truly taste the sweetness. From the actual sales result, it seems, 3G Internet this is indeed achieved in the promotion of good initial sales, attracting many people’s eyes.
Did not last long, it was discovered that a small Internet access is not in the traditional sense of the notebook. Although the two look similar, the same operating system. But this “small stuff” it is difficult to compliment the performance. In addition, 10-inch screen, cramped keyboard, let’s difficult to fully enjoy the convenience of the mobile Internet. “Chicken claw-style” mode of operation also made a lot of people about face-saving difficult to accept.
Internet This is disappointing, 3G network is equally disappointing.
The problem is that its own 3G signal coverage of small, high tariffs, the application can not keep up and so on. Although Internet access speeds in the city can still be a few areas, but in most areas, the base station is still not complete, inevitable decline in customer satisfaction.
“Search simply no 3G signal.” To buy a 3G network card ZOL User reflect on, “the signal sometimes none, sometimes good and sometimes bad, or wired Internet access Kaopu.”
No waves without wind. In early September, there is a personal blog in the industry revealed that China Mobile will give up 3G access to this subsidy, and their energy to the 3G mobile phone tilt. At a time when it is mobile phone when the big promotion Ophone. While this rumor was eventually denied that China Mobile, but not difficult to find, 3G Internet voice of the subsidies had been almost disappeared.
For these rumors, the industry believe that unreasonable. “Because of the network constraints, if a large number of users to use the Internet to this, the network operator will load a heavy burden.” In-stat analyst Liu Qing said, “operators to calculate their final earnings. Acer AS07B71 battery
It has spent so much effort, go to the channel, vendors, user subsidies, but the profits it receives, after all, is limited. “This allows operators to find it very worthwhile.
However, from the view of Europe and the United States and some other markets, 3G and the Internet Benxiang way to proceed forward with the industry still optimistic. With the major operators to further improve the coverage of 3G networks, a variety of applications to further enrich and further reduced tariffs, 3G and the PC industry, the combination is bound to usher in a new spring.
Summary:
Computer countryside next year will still continue, cottage manufacturers will not be the destruction, 3G and the Internet this would still be a pair of quarrelsome lovers. While each of these events carries a different view, whether it is hope or disappointment, have become the past tense. In the new year, we hope,Acer Aspire 3103 battery
PC market to really bring our customers a number of substantive changes.
