Should the new MacBook pick up a touch screen from the PC?

Tencent Digital (Liu Sha) With the support of "temporary workers", we have already understood what Apple's upcoming MacBook Pro will look like.

Consistent with previously leaked news, the new MacBook Pro will integrate a Magic Toolbar touch bar, which also includes a Touch ID sensor that can be booted with fingerprints and has adaptive features that can display different information and touch keys depending on the current application. In addition, it looks smaller and has integrated side stereo speakers.

It seems that the new MacBook Pro is still very "Apple," and its slimness is an inevitable feature, as well as some interesting new elements and service integration (Touch ID + Apple Pay). So are these changes adequate? May not be enough. Pcworld believes that Apple needs to borrow some of the design elements and concepts of modern PCs to make its notebook products more competitive. Here are 10 of them.

1. More powerful graphics performance

Open e-commerce site search "game book", you will see a large number of powerful single-game notebook, but obviously, Apple does not seem to care about this area. Although Mac OS supports games in general, many users will buy a MacBook with Windows installed, and a more powerful video card is also helpful for processing images and videos.

Perhaps Apple has always believed that the game is a niche product, but it should be noted that, such as the latest Razer Blade has been thin and light, such as the MacBook Pro, graphics performance is much stronger, has swallowed some of the apple market.

2. More industry-standard SSDs

Apple has been using special shaped SSD drives, and it is actually produced by Samsung and other manufacturers. Although some hardware vendors have introduced SSDs designed specifically for the MacBook, they are less expensive and less expensive. Apple's official price goes without saying. Although this is a way to maintain profits, it is believed that the majority of Mac users also hope to directly purchase an M.2 SSD that is inexpensive and has excellent performance on the Internet.

3. OLED screen

The new MacBook Pro is equipped with an OLED touch bar display, but the main screen wants to carry OLEDs, which may take several years. At present, including Dell, Lenovo, Hewlett-Packard and other manufacturers have introduced gorgeous OLED notebooks, display is extremely outstanding, which is also a pressure on Apple.

4. Seventh Generation Core Processor

This year, Intel’s seventh-generation Core processor, the Kaby Lake, is basically a standard on the new computer, but the 15-inch MacBook Pro is still actually using the fourth-generation Haswell processor, which is a bit outdated. However, it is expected that Apple will update the MacBook processor across the board this year, hoping not to disappoint us.

5. Thunderbolt 3 interface

Surprisingly, Apple has always been the Thunderbolt interface implementer, but the MacBook has not been equipped with Thunderbolt 3 interface. On the contrary, many PCs are already equipped. This is also a notable point.

6. Touch screen

Well, I know this is a cliché, and the possibility of a touch screen on a MacBook Pro equipped with an OLED touch bar is almost zero. Perhaps Apple is still exploring a better form of touch screen application in the notebook field, but to remind that Google Chromebook Pixel is already equipped with a touch screen.

7. Windows Hello

Is it terrible that the notebook is equipped with an infrared camera? Perhaps Apple thinks so. But in fact, Windows Hello is really easy to use, at least when your hands are inconvenient (such as when eating fried chicken), you can log in without touching any buttons or fingerprint sensor.

8. Stylus

Although Apple owns Apple Pencil, it only supports iPad Pro, and Mac users have no trouble accepting it. Apple's obsession in this respect may be the same as that of a touch screen. Even if you see that Surface Pro sells better and the stylus is useful, it believes that the Mac is a desktop and the iPad is mobile. However, iPad Pro's slogan "Your next computer" makes this product division somewhat contradictory?

9. Cooler keyboard lights

The MacBook is indeed the first notebook equipped with a backlit keyboard, but so many years have passed and nothing has changed. The notebooks in the PC field have brought cooler and more colorful backlit keyboards. The world has always been colored, isn't it?

10. Reasonable upgrade cycle

The last thing to do is to upgrade the MacBook. PC vendors apparently set a more reasonable upgrade cycle, such as the Dell XPS 13, which was upgraded from the fifth-generation Broadwell processor to Skylake, and the latest Kaby Lake, and joined the Thunderbolt 3 and USB-C interfaces.

In contrast, the MacBook Pro, if you purchased the model of the year in 2014, and now buy the model for sale, there is basically no change, and there is no discount (Apple's official website). Obviously, no one is going to buy an iPhone 5 now and it will be purchased for 5,300 yuan. Why MacBook can not get a more reasonable upgrade cycle, and more in line with market rules of price updates it?

Three Phase VFD

A single-phase VFD, also known as a variable frequency drive, is a specialized electronic device used for precise control and regulation of single-phase motors. Unlike three-phase motors that are commonly used in industrial applications, single-phase motors are predominantly found in residential and small-scale applications.

The primary function of a single-phase VFD is to control the frequency and voltage supplied to the single-phase motor, thereby enabling accurate regulation of motor speed. By adjusting the frequency and voltage output, the VFD allows for smooth and precise control over the motor's rotational speed. This feature is particularly useful in applications where speed control is required, such as in residential HVAC systems, small-scale machinery, and household appliances.

Energy efficiency is a significant advantage offered by single-phase VFDs. By adjusting the motor speed to match the load requirements, the VFD reduces energy wastage and improves overall energy efficiency. When the motor operates at a lower speed during periods of low demand, energy consumption is significantly reduced, resulting in energy savings and lower operating costs.

Motor protection is another important aspect addressed by single-phase VFDs. They incorporate various protective features, including overload protection, short circuit detection, and thermal protection, which help safeguard the motor against damage due to excessive current, voltage fluctuations, or overheating. This ensures reliable motor operation, prolongs the motor's lifespan, and reduces the risk of unexpected failures.

Harmonic filtering is also a critical consideration in single-phase VFD applications. When single-phase VFDs operate, they can introduce harmonics into the power supply, which may cause issues such as voltage distortions and interference with other electrical equipment. To mitigate these problems, single-phase VFDs often incorporate harmonic filtering techniques to suppress harmonics and ensure a clean and stable power supply, maintaining power quality and preventing damage to connected equipment.

Control algorithms play a significant role in single-phase VFD operation. These algorithms allow for precise control and adjustment of motor speed, ensuring smooth acceleration, deceleration, and accurate speed regulation. Advanced control algorithms enable efficient motor operation and enhance overall system performance.

In summary, single-phase VFDs provide precise control and regulation of single-phase motors in residential and small-scale applications. With their energy efficiency, motor protection features, harmonic filtering capabilities, and advanced control algorithms, single-phase VFDs enhance motor performance, reduce energy consumption, and ensure reliable operation in various residential and small-scale applications.
