On
Tuesday, April 9th, Apple finally revealed to public its vision of a
“hybrid device that combines a touchscreen tablet and a notebook computer.” One
interesting feature is that the users can charge the hybrid device wirelessly
when the device’s base and display are detached. I thought it is incredible.
I
wonder if when you detach and reattach the base and display, the data will be
saved in the display, and simultaneously back up on the base device when
attach. It will be really cool to see the hybrid device in the market. I bet a
lot of Apple’s fans are looking for this hybrid tablet-laptop. Hopefully the
device has more feature of a laptop. I wonder if the device is heavy or light.
I feel like most people choose a tablet is because they are light, smaller than
regular laptop, and easy to carry around. For people who shop for the laptop,
they are looking for a device that can handle more work, and have more features
compared to a tablet. I wonder how the hybrid tablet-laptop will affect the
markets for just tablet and laptops. It will be interesting to see how the
other companies are going to adapt to this new vision of a tablet-laptop
hybrid, and how the hybrid will affect the market.

Wow this is pretty cool. This type of device has already been on the market, but not with such a powerful brand such as Apple. This may not be too far off from where they're headed.
ReplyDeleteI definitely think the fact that they don't have to be connected to interact could differentiate it from the Surface in a good way
