It's very smooth to use and I think it's great, but after using it for a while, to be honest, I'm sure many people would want to smash it.

This is the problem of memory clutter causing system sluggishness.

The root cause is the junk files generated by social chat software like WeChat or QQ, which are either impossible to clean up or don't even exist. People just delete photos and videos from their albums, and even some apps themselves.

So Android series are forced to upgrade to larger memory capacity. Actually, the same goes for Apple products. Small memory is also slow, but they have large capacity versions. Starting with 4G, they forced you to upgrade to 8G or 16G memory.

Later, it went from 64G to 128G of memory.

Back then, Android phones only had a maximum of 64GB of storage. When you ran out of memory, just look at WeChat and QQ – they were both over 10GB. Deleting those chat logs and junk files could free up over 10GB of storage, but the problem was, not many people were willing to delete them; everyone liked to keep some of their friends' chat history.

Especially those transfer records; once deleted, these records are gone, without even being saved.

Finding these records again is quite difficult.

Therefore, large manufacturers can only meet user needs and improve hardware.

Mobile phone SIM cards and computer SIM cards are two different concepts, but the principle is similar. Mobile phones do not use mechanical hard drives, but instead use solid-state storage, which emphasizes speed. With fewer apps, they are all stored on one drive, so the speed is definitely fast.

But computers are partitioned. Especially inexpensive mechanical hard drives, they insist on creating drive letters like C, D, E, F, etc., to separate the system drive and the software address drive.

Many people don't understand this and cram all their software into their system drive, causing it to become completely full. They might even see a message saying "System drive is full, please clean up."

Smash and clean it up. There are so many apps, many of which are frequently used. If you delete them, the data will be gone.

I'm reluctant to let go of certain things, which causes my computer to lag and slow down. Plus, I've crammed antivirus software and other programs onto my C drive. If I didn't have antivirus software installed on my C drive, it might run faster, but once I have it installed, it'll lag even if it doesn't.

Therefore, Xing Baohua had to consider that, in order to avoid this kind of lag in ARM low-power computers, the only way was to use the addressing operation method of mobile phone memory.

It involves dividing a solid-state drive (SSD) or mechanical hard drive into two partitions. One partition is a hidden system partition, and you won't see the two partitions except in engineering mode.

All the software was installed on one disk, which was the computer mode in the early days of Big Fruit.

Protecting the system disk and using it only as the system drive achieves the purpose of fast addressing. In fact, hiding the system disk is equivalent to using the entire hard drive as a C drive.

Why do many programs prefer to run on the C drive by default? It's for faster startup and faster operation. But if you have too many programs installed, it won't just be fast, it will freeze you. Also, be sure to uncheck the "start up with" option when installing software. Otherwise, even on an SSD, too many programs can cause a significant slowdown.

When Xing Baohua couldn't sleep, he would start thinking about the structure of a computer, and once he got to that point, he had a general idea.

If you only use one mobile phone CPU as a computer CPU, then you have to cut off multi-program functionality, allowing only a single program to run, and preventing programs from running in the background.

This is somewhat similar to Apple's operating system. It disables multi-window functionality, allowing only one window to run at a time. While this is inconvenient, there's nothing that can be done; after all, their CPUs aren't powerful enough.

But this has one advantage: it's fast.

Xing Baohua thought that while things weren't blocked yet, he should contact IBM and other hard drive manufacturers to start stockpiling hard drives.

Stockpile five or six million hard drives of various capacities, especially from IBM.

By the way, it seems that Great Wall Computer is going to contact IBM about hard drives this year, planning to buy technology and production lines to jointly develop hard drives?

IBM is a good company; tempted by money, it generously contributed its technology without reservation. Its only flaw is that its technology is too poor.

Whether it's Great Wall or IBM's original mechanical hard drives, they all face obsolescence.

Even though Xing Baohua uses IBM hard drive enclosures in all his computer rooms, he always makes duplicates. Data must be backed up. If one enclosure fails, he replaces it and then makes another backup.

But for ordinary users, who would back up their computer?

Xing Baohua didn't fall asleep until after 3 a.m., and was woken up by a phone call around 8 a.m., only to find that it was Xie Yingying calling.

We had agreed beforehand that if Xing Baohua hadn't arrived at the company by 7:30, I would call him, which would act as an alarm clock.

I didn't sleep well and had no energy. I thought about the ideas I had last night and reviewed them again to solidify them. I wrote them down when I got to the office and started developing a new type of notebook based on these ideas.

Of course, even low-end laptops or desktops should have high-end configurations; the high-end configurations are for brand image purposes.

Even now that IBM has taken over the Thinkpad brand, it still retains high-end configurations, with machines priced at 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

So when you see a Thinkpad machine costing tens of thousands of yuan and compare its configuration to those of other brands costing five or six thousand yuan, they seem similar, but the Thinkpad is positioned as a mobile workstation. Besides the CPU, it must have some other powerful features.

Of course, this configuration might not be suitable for gaming, but it's far superior to other machines in certain work-related fields.

Therefore, for a high-end rice brand to be established, it can only use high-end hardware.

Another issue is that they spoil the children abroad with computer games.

Using a mid-range PC with an optical drive, I burned all the games from his game studio in Japan onto discs, which came with the game and two controllers. When I'm tired of studying or working, I can play games to refresh my mind.
