USB-C is about to become the future. Are you really ready?
|
As today's laptops become thinner and lighter, more and more things are discarded. From the gradually eliminated optical drive, to the RJ45 network cable interface, to the huge VGA interface, it is difficult to find them on laptops sold on the market. And now some new thin and light notebooks have even completely cancelled the commonly used USB-A interface for thickness, and replaced it with USB-C interface. What are the advantages of USB-C interface? In terms of appearance, USB-C has an absolute advantage in thickness, which is why thin and light notebooks generally tend to use it. In this way, you will no longer be restricted by the interface, making the laptop thinner. At the same time, the USB-C interface also supports positive and negative insertion, so you don't have to worry about the front and back of the interface from now on. In terms of performance, a USB-C interface can charge, display output and data transmission at the same time. Imagine such a working scenario: if you are using the latest laptop with a USB-C interface for work, then when you come to the office, you only need one cable to connect the laptop to the docking station to complete the charging of the laptop, external display, external mouse and keyboard, network cable connection, and external hard drive connection. It only takes one cable to get it done, isn't it quite convenient? In addition, USB-C is also compatible with the latest Thunderbolt 3 protocol, with a maximum throughput of 40Gbs, which is 8 times the speed of the USB3.0 interface we commonly use now. Such a terrifying speed is simply the gospel of professional people such as video editing. The hardware of the new 15-inch MacBook Pro is powerful enough to simultaneously connect two 5K resolution displays and two RAID disk arrays to read and write data, and connect it to the workbench. Which laptops currently only use USB-C interfaces? Here we are talking about laptops with only USB-C interfaces, completely removing other (including standard USB) interfaces. Here we list them for you according to the approximate time of appearance. 12-inch Apple New MacBook First of all, of course, is Apple's 12-inch MacBook. This new product, announced in the spring of 2015, removed the standard USB interface for the first time in order to be thin and light, leaving only a USB-C interface and a headphone interface. This approach caused considerable controversy at the time, so much so that other PC manufacturers took out their own products to laugh at Apple's new products. However, it turns out that the USB-C interface is indeed the trend of the future. After Apple, many PC products with only USB-C ports have appeared. XPS 12 At the end of 2015, Dell released its new XPS 12 convertible, which changed from the flip screen design of the 2013 version to the current screen keyboard detachable design. The main body is a 12.5-inch tablet, which can be fixed to the keyboard cover through a magnetic mechanism. This design is very similar to Microsoft's Surface series, but the keyboard base of the XPS 12 can only provide one viewing angle. Huawei MateBook In February 2016, Huawei MateBook made its debut at the MWC2016 exhibition in Barcelona. As Huawei's first laptop, MateBook adopts the classic 2in1 design, with a non-rotating shaft soft-connected keyboard as the main design mode. The fanless tablet and keyboard are engaged through smart electronic contacts, and the keyboard-connected leather cover acts as a bracket to support the screen by bending. Huawei MateBook is equipped with a metal body with a 12-inch screen, weighing only 640g and as low as 6.9mm in thickness. Developed with the mindset of making mobile phones, MateBook brings the fingerprint recognition wake-up technology on mobile phones to PCs for the first time. Both the workmanship and design of the product are quite outstanding. In addition, Huawei has also specially developed a USB-C expansion device for user convenience. The first three models of HP Spectre 13 are all notebooks equipped with Core M processors. Let's take a look at the three with Core i processors. The first is the HP Spectre 13 released in mid-2016. The product with a thickness of only 10.4mm can be said to be the thinnest laptop in the industry at that time, and the Spectre 13 is also stuffed with a Core i processor at this thickness, which is really shocking. In terms of interfaces, the Spectre 13 only has 3 USB-C interfaces on the back, two of which support Thunderbolt 3. In addition, HP has also designed a USB-C expansion dock for this notebook. Asus ZenBook 3 was also released in mid-2016. At this year's Taipei Computer Show, Asus' ZenBook 3 made its debut. Although this product is very similar to the 12-inch MacBook in appearance, it has comprehensively surpassed Apple in terms of performance and design. It is almost the same thickness, but is equipped with a Core i processor, has a longer key travel, and also has a fingerprint recognition module. The new MacBook Pro , which everyone has been looking forward to for a long time, was finally officially announced at the end of October this year. However, although the thickness and weight have been greatly reduced, almost all the commonly used interfaces have been streamlined on the Pro product line, which has indeed caused considerable controversy. The entry-level MacBook Pro without Touch Bar only provides two USB-C ports and supports the Thunderbolt 3 protocol. The 13-inch version with Touch Bar has four, but the two Thunderbolt 3 interfaces on the right are not full-speed, and it seems that the 15-inch version is the complete version. In addition, although the innovative Touch Bar looks amazing, its practicality is not very high at present. In the future, there will be more and more USB-C monitors. In addition to the Thunderbolt 3 docking station solution, you can actually integrate the docking station directly into the monitor. The popularity of the USB-C interface is actually changing the monitor industry. Apple has already cooperated with LG to launch two USB-C interface monitors that are compatible with the new MacBook Pro. It is almost foreseeable that the monitor industry will launch a lot of USB-C interface monitor products under the influence of Apple next year, and integrate Thunderbolt 3 docking stations to expand common interfaces such as USB3.0, network cables, and card readers for user convenience.
