What does Samsung's low-cost thin and light bring?

For a long time in the past, if we talk about some “slim” and exquisite notebooks in the market, our impression of them is that, besides the “body” that we can hold, the rest, I am afraid, is expensive. - The price of tens of millions of dollars makes these products a device that can only be seen by most people. Because of this, many consumers who originally cherished such products can only sigh with a sigh.

The price, in the end, hindered those high-end flagship ultra-thin and light-weight products that became the limelight in the promotion process to become products that are truly acceptable to consumers. For those who don’t call it well, from this perspective, it may not be a good product. However, with the maturity of the manufacturing process and the relaxation of the concept of "lightweight and thin", some "thin and light" of 3999 yuan or even 2,999 yuan have begun to appear on the market.

However, the principle of a penny and a piece of goods is universal. A lot of 3,000 yuan and 4,000 yuan in the so-called "slim and light" class really have to be compared. In fact, in terms of lightness and thinness, there is actually no significant improvement over traditional notebooks. In my opinion, in pursuit of "cost-effectiveness", The mix of hybrid hard drives and discrete graphics makes this type of product somewhat obscure.

Will there be such a product that not only maintains the body of a high-end flagship, but also has the performance and price of mainstream notebooks? It sounds like such requirements seem harsh, and the cost seems high.

But consumers say: We have such needs. So the vendor said: Well, meet you. So we really saw such a notebook, ATIV Book 9 Lite. Let's take a look at its makers: Samsung, an industry giant that spans multiple product lines for mobile phones, tablets and laptops.

Perhaps in the eyes of other small manufacturers, it is difficult to achieve such a degree: thinness and performance coexist, which means extremely high demands on the manufacturing process. After all, this is to put constant components in the compressed space. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure battery life and cooling. However, for Samsung, it seems to be a little effort - don't forget, the flagship ATIV Book 9 Plus has a more "malformed" hardware configuration in the same slim body.

Or look at the ATIV Book 9 Lite. While guaranteeing a thickness of only 16.9mm and a weight of 1.44kg, it also has a "core" of sacrilege: Samsung is equipped with a specially-customized quad-core processor. The graphical advantage of this processor, but also through the integrated graphics in the ATIV Book 9 Lite manifested itself: Who had ever imagined that one day will use such a thin notebook to play 3D games?

As for the past long-term battery life promotion, it is a matter of course for the ATIV Book 9 Lite: The TDP's 7W processor and 4000mAh battery ensure that it is easy enough to support at least six hours.

Excellent performance, excellent battery life, slim appearance, when these factors are concentrated on a laptop computer, if we follow our previous inertial thinking, we must think that such a product is a very expensive flagship. But don't forget the original intention of the birth of the ATIV Book 9 Lite, so its price is enough to surprise us: The 905S with a non-touch screen is priced at only 5,000 yuan. And if you want to enjoy the touch of fun, then just spend an extra 1,000 yuan, you can buy a 915S equipped with a touch screen.

Compared with some of the so-called "slim and thin" versions of other brands, the ATIV Book 9 Lite clearly captures the essence of "cost-effectiveness." To achieve this, the ATIV Book 9 Lite is more likely to attract the attention of consumers: Value for money, which has already become a habit of many people.

Perhaps we can say this: The ATIV Book 9 Lite, which is priced at $5,000, has led the ultra-lightweight laptop to the "altar" and become approachable from above. Coupled with the unique design and not weak performance, leading the new era of the PC ATIV Book 9 Lite, want to occupy a market share, it is not difficult to think about it.

And, ATIV Book 9 Lite will not be the end. The Samsung ATIV Book 9 Lite, which defines the new era of the PC and has become the leader of this era, is bound to march on this path.
