Under Chen Zifan's arrangement, the price of the 128GB version of Stardust-Fluclight was set at 5,899 yuan, and the 256GB version was set at 6,399 yuan. In this way, it somewhat highlights the high cost performance of the 512GB version.
At the same time, the cheap price of 1,100 yuan has also successfully lowered the entry threshold for Stardust Technology’s first PC product.
Don’t underestimate the price difference of 1,100 yuan. It has really made some consumers who did not originally intend to buy Stardust-Flucculature be attracted to this product.
To give a simple example, the famous 2021 Savior Y9000P in Chen Zifan’s memory. Back then, Lenovo set the price of the i7+3060 at around 8,999. It can be said that no brand can match its cost performance.
Those with similar configurations are more expensive than it, and those with similar price are not as good as it. Coupled with Lenovo's brand power and huge after-sales system, the Savior series has truly become the "all-rounder" among gaming laptops.
But in 2023...
Lenovo set the initial price of the 2023 Savior Y9000P at 9,999, and it even ran out of stock.
Even if the CPU is upgraded to Core i9, it still has the X version, and the graphics card is upgraded to 4060, it is not enough to support the price difference of 1,000 yuan, because electronic products depreciate very quickly, and these configurations are improving normally after two years of upgrade. within the range.
But how did Lenovo do it?
The G5000 is used to cut leeks at the bottom. It seems to be very cost-effective, but in fact the product is very powerful.
Then raise the prices of the 7000 and 9000 series. The ideal is beautiful, but reality slaps them hard. Consumers are not fools, and neither are other manufacturers. Who likes to blatantly cut leeks?
And it’s been two years, won’t other manufacturers upgrade their products?
As a result, the reputation of the 2023 Savior has plummeted, and sales have been greatly reduced under the influence of the economic environment. Official channels are still increasing prices and running out of stock, while dealers have sold out of stock at the first launch.
This is the price of an extra order of 1,000 yuan.
However, Stardust Technology does not need to worry about this, because no matter which version of their products, the price/performance ratio is not bad, and they are not like many manufacturers who seem to come up with a lot of configurations, but in fact they are overtly and covertly forcing The consumer chooses one of the configurations.
What's the point?
But Chen Zifan didn't pay too much attention to the Stardust-Fluclight matter. After he assigned the work to Zhao Wushang, he worked in the core area of the Stardust Factory while collecting technology from [Stardust Technology] and working with the group to make products.
The boss warmed up in person!
Many members of the R&D team said they were under a lot of pressure. Fortunately, although it was the first time for many R&D staff to meet Chen Zifan in reality, Chen Zifan was not as demanding on work as rumored.
On the contrary, it’s a bit approachable…
Moreover, Chen Zifan's professional abilities are beyond the understanding of many R&D personnel. They can't understand why Chen Zifan is so young but is no less than the top boss in the industry in the technical field?
Even if they don't understand some super difficult points when doing research and experiments, as long as they are brought up, Chen Zifan can give a reasonable answer from theory to practical plan.
So as soon as Chen Zifan showed up and whenever he was free, several professors in their sixties came to him with thick documents to ask him theoretical and technical questions, which made Chen Zifan a little overwhelmed.
He would rather those who come to him are beautiful girls...
What's the point of hanging out with a bunch of old guys every day? Moreover, these old men were all proactively sent to their doorsteps by the government, specifically to work at Stardust Technology.
"MD, you're old. If you don't take care of yourself at home, you go out to bask in the sun, walk your dog, play chess, and brag to the old lady about how wonderful your life experience is. What the hell is the point of waiting for me to work on cutting-edge technology products here every day?"
Of course, Chen Zifan just complained a little in his heart. Everyone has his own ambitions ~ These are all heavyweights, and their professional level is not to mention. With them here, the next few products of Stardust Technology will at least be in the market. The progress of research and development can be increased by more than 30%.
And even if he wants to find a beautiful girl...
How many young people can join the Stardust Technology R&D team? A capable turtle boss like Kitano Menglin is already the youngest among the group, and is 11 years older than Chen Zifan. There is really no one younger.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little regretful that he had obviously been admitted to Haicheng University, but had never gone to play for a day. If he had known that, he should have taken some time to go and have a look, and get to know a few more seniors~
But he was just saying that. The situation of Stardust Technology at that time did not allow him to have so much time.
For researchers…
The more they came into contact with Chen Zifan, the more they were shocked, not shocked, but shocked. They claimed that they were among the best in the industry, not to mention the top in the industry, but they were also among the big guys at the top of the pyramid. But compared with Chen Zifan, they seemed like It's really nothing.
Chen Zifan is like an all-round encyclopedia. There are very few problems that he cannot solve. Not only that, he can provide guidance in many research and development directions.
This is the most important point.
In their words, Chen Zifan is the "chosen son" and a true "genius". In the future, his achievements may reach an unimaginable level.
Chen Zifan always smiled lightly at such comments. Only he knew what his situation was. As he came into contact with more and more internal information, he continued to fill in [Stardust Technology] during this period. technology, continue [Synthetic Creation].
During the process, he also saw a lot of technologies that he found incredible and could only be seen in science fiction movies. It was simply too exaggerated and intoxicating!
Even though his mental age is nearly 40 years old, and he has seen countless shocking science fiction works more than ten years later, after seeing the new technology of [Synthetic Creation] in [Stardust Technology], his mentality became unbalanced. Crazy thoughts to be desperate.
What he saw can actually be realized!
It’s not comparable to science fiction works!
It took Chen Zifan three days to calm down. The birth of anything is not achieved overnight, and the road must be walked step by step.
Youth is his greatest asset.
Chen Zifan will not be like Steve Jobs who has left. He clearly created an era with his own hands, but failed to see what the future will look like. He not only wants to create a new era, but also feels the glory of the era!
With this belief, Chen Zifan went into work with full firepower. While other R&D personnel were stunned, his temperament also became deeper, which was a big change from before.
If I have to describe it...
In the past, Chen Zifan was more casual and cared about many things and didn't care about many things. He had his own goals, but the goals were not so clear, so that Stardust Technology went through many project revisions during its development.
Sometimes it's too urgent, sometimes it's too slow.
For example, Stardust Technology had no plans for PC products at all in the beginning. Chen Zifan always believed that smartphones could truly replace PC products, and tablets were still around, so there was no need to do anything extra.
But the actual situation is different...
He ignores that the process to achieve this point is very long. Another example is that he always wants to get it right in one step and make all aspects of a product "balanced and perfect."
Actually this is not possible.
Chen Zifan ignored the demand for diversity.
Stardust Fluctlight is a good example. Although he reserved a remedy, it also shows that he did not plan well when planning.
Fortunately, everything has just begun.
There is so much he can do in the two months between the end of December and the Spring Festival holiday on February 10.
In an ordinary person, earth-shaking changes can occur in a few months, let alone a huge super company like Stardust Technology?
It just depends on whether people want to do it~
At the same time, Zhao Wushang also finalized the two versions of Stardust-Fluclight that lowered the entry threshold, and put them into production as soon as possible.
The Stardust Marketing Department also released news through various channels. The earliest and most authoritative announcement was naturally from the Stardust Community and Stardust Technology official website. The announcement clearly stated that two new versions would be launched on January 12.
And directly announced the selling price:
128GB, 5899 yuan.
256GB, 6399 yuan.
And how long has it been since Chen Zifan confirmed the two new versions of Stardust-Flutterlight?
It can also be put on the shelves directly in a short time.
What is terrifying execution efficiency?
What is the terrifying production capacity? ?
When some manufacturers saw this scene... several famous executives couldn't help but sigh:
"Why…"
They are still having meetings and arguing over whether a certain project has future prospects and benefits. While the major shareholders are still timid, Stardust Technology is already making continuous adjustments to widen the gap.
This also gave some people an idea:
"Would you like to try Stardust Technology?"
But there is still a long way to go from having the idea to putting it into practice. No matter what they think or do, it will not have much impact on Stardust Technology.
For consumers, the emergence of a new version of Stardust-Fluoclight is definitely a good thing. This is the first time Stardust Technology has made a PC product. It is understandable that it made some small mistakes in tactics. Hasn't this been corrected?
And who knew that the tactical error was not a "deliberately arranged" scene directed and performed by Chen Zifan?
Because of this, the popularity of Stardust - Fluctlight has really increased a lot. The specially established Stardust - Fluctlight section in the Stardust community has too many topic posts and videos discussed every day to count.
First of all, there is no doubt about it:
The hardware configuration of Stardust-Floodlight is really top-notch!
Many people have been dealing with computers for almost ten years, and they have never seen a laptop with such advanced hardware.
Can't fault it at all!
Just one screen is enough for all opponents to drink, not to mention its appearance, workmanship, and quality.
Most of the topics are praising this:
"Today I went to the Stardust Direct Store and saw the Stardust Fluctlight. The 14-inch size is a little smaller than I expected, but it's really beautiful! So beautiful!"
"Yes, I was attracted immediately too!"
“When the four colors were placed there, I didn’t know how to choose, but in the end I chose coral.”
"This is so beautiful!"
"I chose white, white is more eye-catching..."
"The Stardust-fluctuated screen is amazing! My desktop screen can't even adjust the brightness. This one has several modes to choose from, as well as clarity. In comparison, my computer screen looks like a mosaic."
"After I got used to watching Stardust-Flutter Light, and then watching other screens...it would be so uncomfortable!"
"..."
We praise the appearance, the workmanship, the screen, and the good service provided by the Stardust store staff, but the most important thing about a laptop is the user experience, which is one of the reasons why many people choose to wait and see.
It just so happens that the Stardust community provides a platform.
Here are not only unboxings and reviews from self-media, but also the real experiences of countless real consumers:
"It has been three days since the launch of Stardust - Fluctlight. 6999 floating clouds. No problems have been found so far. Stardust OS is very easy to use. As advertised at the press conference, Stardust OS can do everything that Windows can do!"
“What I was most worried about before was the software problem, but after I went to the store, I realized that I had overthought it. Stardust OS integrates all the genuine software on the market into one application store, and there is no need to download them one by one on the web page. If you turn over, you might be infected with the virus."
“This must be praised!”
"The interface of Stardust OS is so clean! It's so beautiful! By the way, it doesn't need to install anti-virus software. My computer at home has three anti-virus software installed. Suddenly I don't need anti-virus software, and I'm still a little uncomfortable..."
"Ah? Don't you need to install it? The first thing I did after buying it was to download 360 and Kingsoft Internet Security!"
"No need, just uninstall it."
"Think about the mobile phone you are using. Stardust OS is officially involved. If it can be invaded by viruses, it is better to think that we may be XXXX..."
"Hey, don't dare say such nonsense!"
"The interface of Stardust OS also looks very comfortable. Looking at the main interface of my previous desktop computer...it was as messy as anything, and I worried about not finding files every day."
"Friendly reminder: The app store of Stardust OS is not just about Windows software..."
There is also the data interoperability software of Stardust OS mobile terminal, as well as the unique productivity tools from the Apple camp, but the things from the Apple camp are not easy to get, and Stardust OS has only got part of it.
Cooperation has not been agreed, there is nothing we can do.
To be honest, real heavy computer users will not use laptops as their main work tools, and the remaining consumer needs will be better met.
Stardust OS for PC is currently the operating system closest to the full version of Stardust OS. How could there be any problems with the user experience? It’s just a process of adapting. Those who have just come from Windows may not be used to it~
In addition, there are other contents:
"I used industrial software to conduct a lot of tests on the Shengong S1 CPU, and the results surprised me. First of all, the performance is strong enough. Both single-core and multi-core performance are strong enough. Especially multi-core, I don't know what to do. To describe it, it is so strong that it is unreasonable...
The stability of multiple rounds of stress testing is also very good!
The heating performance is perfect!
The room temperature is 26 degrees Celsius, and the highest temperature in the keyboard area is only 38 degrees when the machine is baked, and the feeling is only warm. By the way, the Stardust-Fluid Light keyboard feels very good when typing, clean, crisp, and with strong feedback.
The fan sound is also very quiet…
It is reasonable to doubt that the Stardust Fluctlight can be used without a fan, but Stardust Technology still equipped it with dual fans.
Finally, there is the entertainment experience. Its speakers should be the best among all the notebooks I have used so far. The sound quality is very pure and you can’t hear any noise at all. Its sound range is very wide, with thick bass and thorough treble...
For me, one of the only drawbacks is that it is too small. It is not suitable for boys with big hands and thick fingers. Also, it has a few USB ports and usually has to be connected to a docking station, which is really inconvenient. .
But the docking station is free, so you don’t have to buy it yourself. I look forward to the next computer from Stardust Technology!
It’s better to get a desktop computer…”
