The Revaluation design, Sony Tablet S

From one of the most simple idea

The screen size has been divided we of the main parameters of the Tablet computer, introduces the Tablet S first before SONY we review existing products. At present in a brand, 10.1 inches product most, is the mainstream market size. Apple iPad and HP TouchPad started 9.7 inches precedent, samsung P7310 puts forward 8.9 inches, of course, these are all belongs to a small size, in this respect, SONY also ingenuity, equipped with 9.4 inch screen, the resolution for 1280 x 800, USES the capacitive touch technology, most support touch at ten o 'clock.

Why use 9.4 inch screen, suzuki jas komura said, this is through the user survey to decide to down at the end of the size, about the Japanese market is still the global market survey ₁, we don't know, but only need to know a bit is enough, familiar with apple iPad for reference to the object, the 9.4-inch screen display space and the gap is very small, not careful contrast you could hardly see the difference.

Had to admit, SONY in appearance design and human nature experience of the great kung fu, tablet computer more inclined to reading, scroll of the design derived from this the most simple idea. The benefits are, if will SONY Tablet S on the table or knees, because the body have a height difference, will also naturally form an Angle, the more suitable for looked; Another

characteristic is that curve form of ascension to hold a body can handle, and the back of the fuselage protruding point design plays a skidproof, hold the intimacy is good, it seemed, the product is of consistent style.

The design of the exterior of the type roll back, contains a SONY design concept, SONY VAIO&Mobile career after the project manager to we said we just cane, its exterior design features is the great looks like a roll up the magazine, there is a kind of return uncut jade to return true feeling. The most important is, one hand holds is a important Tablet S SONY design element.

Mention one hand holds, it will have to talk about the "center of gravity bias" ₂ the concept, product design, often emphasize symmetry principle, to get the user visual sense of the balance, but this kind of symmetrical type design not without problems, such as the one hand hold the Tablet computer, easy to cause the hand fatigue, and SONY Tablet S with scroll shape the focus bias, when left hand or right hand holding the thick end, not only the edge joint hands, and because of the heavy side in the proximal, feel holds the need for strength and relieve a few.

Of course, the design of the exterior of the scroll type must affect the thickness, the measurement, SONY is thick Tablet S most reached 20 mm, the most thin place is around 10 mm mean, standalone weight of 587 grams, travel weight of 780 grams. Nowadays most thin samsung Galaxy Tab P7310 average thickness of 8.6 mm, 10.1 inch in thickness of the plate and 13 mm, compared with them, SONY Tablet S thickness is not dominant, but good weight, than the 9.7-inch apple iPad 2 (594 grams) also light some. Finally it is, we've got test prototype power adapter size some big, a direct impact on the weight of the trip.

Maybe some friends will say, apple iPad 2 adopt metal material body, has the strong solid degrees, when we put forward to SONY why not metal material this question, got a important information: SONY Tablet S built-in antiroll frame as the alloy structure. The shell need not metal material is qualitative, because worried about airframe is overweight, even in order to lose weight, in the metal frame on internal opened a lot of hole, will it be more light, the intensity is also higher.

(1) about ascertain the screen size: in determining the screen size, SONY has made many investigation and test, including 9 inches, 10 inches, 11 inches...... , 16:9, 16:10, 4:3...... , with a final determination to 9.4 inches. (see different screen sizes on the SONY Tablet S engineering model)

(2) about gravity biased story: at first, the technical departments in accordance with the appearance of the flat is to design the SONY Tablet S, but the look of the design department put forward the design of the center of gravity bias, and technology department has put forward the question, because it will arrange internal components. At that time the model design personnel do make technical personnel actual feeling gravity offset the benefits and finally won their identity, and arrangement of the internal components of arrangement, thick parts and components of the layout of the thin has adjusted, finally realizes the gravity offset design.
