2012年科技大势预测

配置参数退居次席

    通常来说，硬件在三四年内就会过时。但苹果公司的MacBook Air笔记本电脑证明，现在的消费者们似乎更关注体验，比如设备运行是否平稳，是否易于操作，而不在那么关注机器的硬件参数。这种观念也会影响到其他消费类产品。预计厂商今后将会降低对硬件的重视程度，而更为关注硬件的真实性能。

Forget the specs

    Used to be, hardware became obsolete in three or four years. But devices like the MacBook Air, have proven consumers now seem to care more about the experience -- Does it run smoothly? Is it easy to use? -- and less about the numbers on the side of the box. This philosophy will permeate other consumer products as well; expect manufacturers to play down hardware and play up what that hardware can actually do.
