Miss Cao suddenly realized that it seemed that it had been a long time since there had been an electronic product that could set off a new wind in her technological life. Smartphones, all of which have a screen on the front and an image module on the back, seem to have lost the traces of innovation. The tablet is no exception, except that the screen on the front is larger, plus a camera on the back, and the changes seem to be minimal.
This is especially true for laptops, computers, and headphones, which seem to come in different shapes, but in fact they go around in circles, but they differ in size and interfaces. What makes us boring with the novelty of electronics?In the darkness with the lights turned off, they all seemed to become featureless. However, Ms. Cao discovered that a well-known computer brand called "Mingdao Technology" was playing a unique and novel game. Let's take a closer look.
This is the latest "Xingchen" laptop released by Mingdao Technology. Externally, it's not much different from other regular laptops. A screen, a keyboard, and a variety of interfaces don't seem to be anything special. However, when you look closely, you'll notice that the trackpad directly below the C-side is distinctive. The difference is that this is not an ordinary button, but a pair of wireless headphones embedded in it.
When you press the button on the trackpad**, the headphones unfold like angel wings and can be easily removed or put back in with smooth movements. Although Miss Cao has not personally experienced this machine, just through the experience shared by netizens**, this innovative design is enough to make people feel refreshed.
Although it is expected that the headphones delivered may be insufficient in terms of parameters and hardware compared with high-end products, and may only be at the level of a 100-yuan Bluetooth headset, this idea of giving headphones with the purchase of a computer does give people a new feeling. However, Mingdao Technology is not the first manufacturer to try to "buy a computer and get headphones free". Ms. Cao recalled that Lenovo released the ThinkBook 15 Gen 2i in 2020, which also launched a similar campaign.
But unlike Mingdao Technology, Lenovo hid the headphones in the coffee mat on the right side of the fuselage. This design, which comes with the headphones that come with the laptop, does provide great convenience for those who often need to meet outdoors but don't want to always rematch the wireless headphones. This is reminiscent of Nokia, which disappeared last year, when it launched a campaign to buy a phone with free headphones, such as the 5710 XpressAudio.
Are all manufacturers beginning to feel that mobile phones can no longer bring novelty to consumers?Not really. Ms. Cao still remembers that Huawei embedded a pair of wireless earbuds into the watch surface in the HUAWEI Watch Buds, which was released a year ago, providing a new wearable device experience. In order to innovate, mobile phone manufacturers have also launched some "wonderful" accessories.
For example, Razer's Project Linda, released in 2018, combines an Android smartphone with a laptop, and when you remove the trackpad, you'll find that it's a Razer Phone. Of course, there are some more "quirky" products, such as the Nophone, which is a black plastic model machine that costs only $12.
In addition, there is a lighter with a power bank function, although it is not known if it can actually be ignited, but it is undoubtedly a walking time bomb. Although the qualitative nature of mobile phone form has made manufacturers more and more limited in innovation, there still seems to be some eye-catching existence in the computer field. However, manufacturers' efforts to carry out innovative activities are often criticized by netizens as fancy but not practical.
Although the design of the included headphones may be a bit confusing at first, when you think about it, the design of the included headphones in the computer can really arouse the interest of many people. Perhaps those who often lose their AirPods will be interested in this design.
Even if mobile phones can no longer bring us novelty, the innovation of manufacturers in the field of computers is still expected. With curiosity about the future of technological life, we might as well continue to pay attention to various innovative designs, and perhaps the next eye-catching product is in the near future.
