[Tinydeal]On the evening of February 13, the mechanical revolution started pre-sale of the new Aurora Pro and Jiaolong 16K notebooks. According to common sense, this is just a normal new product launch. However, the launch of new products this time has triggered the entire gaming laptop circle. Without it, these two laptops are equipped with the 12th-generation Core i7-12650H processor and AMD R7-7735H processor respectively. The graphics cards are both equipped with the latest RTX4060 and are equipped with a 2.5K resolution high refresh rate screen. The configuration can be said to be quite powerful. In terms of price, both laptops are priced at 5,999 yuan, which is this “5,999” that has triggered the gaming laptop circle.

With the support of super high cost performance, as of the time of publication of Tinydeal, nearly 5,000 pieces of the new Aurora Pro in the Mechanical Revolution have been booked on JD.com, and more than 4,300 pieces of the new Jiaolong 16K have been booked. According to statistics from relevant netizens, on the evening of February 13, at least more than 20,000 notebooks were booked in the Mechanical Revolution, and some models were booked in ten seconds. Such data can be said to be very eye-catching. In various communities, netizens who got the snatch posted their orders, and they were excited in their words. Netizens who didn't get the snatch were regretful, and they were waiting for another wave of release on the evening of February 22.
At the same time, Tinydealnoticed that the impact of the launch of the Mechanical Revolution 4060 laptop was also transmitted to the installation field. Many netizens saw the carnival and promising future among netizens on the laptop, and looked at the chaos in the installation market in recent years. They couldn't help but sigh again, is DIY dead?
A powerful mechanical revolution
Many people may not have much impression of the brand of Mechanical Revolution. In today's industry, it is a bit similar to the Shenzhou that used to be, and even does better than Shenzhou. After a two-year mining tide, the reputation of Shenzhou laptops is now collapsed. Because of some of the past behaviors, many former loyal Shenzhou users now sneer at this brand and even call it “Mine Boat”. Even now, the mining tide has subsided, and many new notebooks in Shenzhou have regained their “cost-performance ratio” again and are no longer out of stock, but their influence in the market is no longer as good as before. The mechanical revolution is the brand that has replaced the Shenzhou ecological niche.
The price of notebooks on the market in 2022 is quite outrageous, and many models of many brands have experienced price increases. Therefore, many netizens and practitioners are more pessimistic about the final price of the 4060 notebook. Before the related products were officially released, speculations of a minimum of 6,999 yuan were criticized by relevant bloggers as “dream”. Under this situation, the Mechanical Revolution pulled the 4060 laptop to 5,999 yuan, and gave configurations such as i7-12659H/R7-7735H, 2K screen and DDR5 memory, which naturally triggered the entire circle.

But even so, the current mechanical revolution can only be regarded as a second-tier brand, and there is still a big gap between it and several major manufacturers. When it comes to the mechanical revolution, words such as “poor quality control”, “lack of after-sales service”, and “shrinkable materials” will also follow. However, as the saying goes, “there is no garbage product, only the price of garbage.” In the face of a 4060 laptop worth 5,999 yuan, all of the above problems are no longer a problem.
The people have been suffering from the unscrupulous business for a long time
The mechanical revolution is engaged in the notebook market, and naturally it cannot escape the attention of installed users. Although desktop computers and laptops have great differences in shape, their uses are actually similar, and the user groups on both sides have very large overlaps. Installed users who have suffered from manufacturers in the DIY market saw the carnival on their laptops and thought of their situation, it is inevitable that they feel sad.
In the 20th century, Gordon Moore, one of the founders of Intel, proposed Moore's Law. Although it is called “law”, it is not a law of natural science, but an experience of the founder of Intel himself. Its core content is: the number of transistors that can be accommodated on integrated circuits will double every 18 to 24 months. In other words, the performance of the processor is about doubled every two years, while the price drops to half of the previous ones.
Nvidia graphics card
But in the current market, Moore's Law is obviously no longer applicable. Since 2017, at almost every year at Nvidia press conference, its head Huang Renxun will mention Moore's Law is dead. Under the influence of manufacturers such as Nvidia, the graphics cards in the past two years can be said to have tormented consumers to death. During the mining tide, the price of graphics cards soared and consumers could not buy cards. Now that the mining tide has receded, the prices of new cards have risen sharply, and consumers can't afford cards. At present, criticism of 40 series graphics cards and 7000 series graphics cards has almost never stopped, and angry consumers even gave many of them the same evaluation as the animation version of “Three-Body Problem”.
RTX4060 message
Although the 4060 graphics card on the desktop has not been released yet, judging from the prices of the 4070Ti and 4080 on the desktop, many consumers do not have high expectations for the 4060 graphics card on the desktop. Because through simple speculation, many people believe that the price of a desktop 4060 graphics card may not be much cheaper than a mobile 4060 laptop. If you refer to the 3060 graphics card, the performance of the desktop is probably not much stronger.
DIY is dead?
Overall, the installation of your own computer is not only not cost-effective, but also has a high entry threshold. In the case of a relatively small market, several major manufacturers also choose to raise prices and cut leeks. It’s no wonder that many netizens sighed at the DIY dead when they looked at the 4060 laptop opposite, which cost less than 6,000 yuan. So, will the situation really be as pessimistic as these people predict? The author believes that is not the case.
First of all, DIY still has many advantages compared to notebooks. First of all, it is obviously more free to assemble your own computer, and various accessories can be purchased as you like. In case of any problem, users can also solve it in time by replacing accessories. Once the laptop has black screen, it can only be sent to the after-sales point in many cases, especially brands like Mechanical Revolution, who can basically choose to return to the factory for repair.
Moreover, in terms of independent graphics cards, although Nvidia and AMD's new graphics cards do not seem to be very powerful, Intel also entered the independent graphics card market in 2022. Not long ago, Tinydealalso noticed that Intel's A750 graphics card has dropped to about 1,000 yuan in the Japanese market, and some domestic e-commerce platforms can also be purchased at a price of about 1,500 yuan. The theoretical performance of this graphics card is not low, but the current driver is not very powerful, but overall it can still be called “promising future”. With Intel entering, there may be more changes in the future graphics card market.

In addition, due to the rise of domestic brands such as Changjiang and Changxin, memory and solid-state particles have reached very low prices in recent times. Some channels even have solid-state drives with 1TB TLC particles priced at around 250 yuan, which is very friendly to installed users.
Written at the end
The mechanical revolution has made a good start for the notebook market in 2023, and has also allowed many consumers to see the upper and lower limits of the 4060 notebook price. The DIY market in 2023 may still have a rough road ahead, but we don’t have to be too pessimistic.
