The Verge Chinese Station reported on October 29
After a period of time, technology vendors have returned to the computer market from the scramble for smart phones, such as the recent Mac and PC wars. This week, Microsoft and Apple released the latest PC and Mac hardware one day later, and their focus is on the way of computer touch.
Microsoft believes touch screen is the future of PC
Microsoft, in addition to continuing to highlight the full platform of Windows 10, enhance the details of the use experience, but also brought with the previous style of hardware - Surface Studio.
Since its launch four years ago, the Surface series has gradually become a new form of PC hardware from the initial confusion and loss, and has derived products such as the Suface Book and Hub for different market segments. Surface Studio locates the all-in-one and challenges the iMac.
In fact, Surface Studio is very "Apple", Microsoft did not position it as business or games, but art, design and creation, this is Apple's field. Surface Studio's focus is not only on touch screens, but also on Surface Dial accessories that explore new ways to operate the touch screen. The stylus can also play a bigger role. Of course, all this is based on a touch screen.
Microsoft has always believed that touch screens are the future of computers, and they have been lobbying PC makers and consumers to accept them. Of course, Microsoft still has a lot of work to do, but the full platform of Windows 10 makes this idea promising.
Apple's answer is the opposite
In Apple's case, the answer is the opposite. Apple has always believed that touch screens are more suitable for handheld devices such as the iPhone and iPad. What about computers? The main operation is still dependent on the mouse and keyboard, but there can be a little change, such as the latest MacBook Pro Touch Bar.
In the demonstration, Apple constantly emphasizes the great role of this variable touch bar, such as using the chat software will display a variety of expressions, or various toolbars of the mapping software, the user can also customize according to their needs, so that They are more in line with their own habits. It is still too early to assess whether the Touch Bar is really useful. After all, Apple has a strong platform and appeal. Perhaps this small design will become very intimate in the future.
Of course, one of the disadvantages of the Touch Bar is that it distracts the user from the computer screen, but Apple believes it is still more practical than using fingers to achieve inaccurate touches. As for Microsoft and Apple who will win, it is not easy to say now, but I believe that at any time, users will elect the final winner. (Author: Tom Warren compile: Liu Sha)
