What I want is a PC that can also "play" gaming, and a high-spec deformed notebook in the saucer

The way we interact with PCs has changed dramatically in the last few years. The factor is not only the spread of telework. "Gaming" is rapidly increasing its presence. It is a well-known fact that it has become a big movement overseas, as professional gamers have already gained a certain position and many tournaments where high prize money is paid are held. Even in Japan, catch-up is progressing for both manufacturers who develop PCs and users who use them. This time, BCN conducted a survey of 1000 users who intend to purchase gaming PCs. I asked how you would like to use your gaming PC.

The notebook group surpasses the desktop group for everyday use

Gaming PCs have a strong image of desktops, but recently, many models that sing gaming have appeared on notebook PCs. When asked about the type of gaming PC they would like to purchase in this survey, 50.2% of the respondents answered that they were "notebook PCs," indicating high demand. Gaming PCs, which require high specifications, also have a need to be used for multiple purposes. The question "What would you like to use if you purchased a gaming PC?" Was followed by "Watching videos" by a small margin after the top "Online games". More than 40% of people answered that they would like to use daily usage such as browsing / posting SNS and saving photo / video data. A high percentage of respondents were considering creative usage such as video editing / distribution, games, and design production because of their high expectations for specs.

A modified notebook that meets the needs of his users who are not completed by gaming alone

While many users want to use gaming PCs in addition to games, the modified notebook PC is likely to increase demand as a saucer. The feature is that it can be used in the optimum style for a wide range of applications by devising the hardware itself. Dynabook has a large lineup of such models. Machines in the category that the company calls "5 in 1 Premium Pen Note" can be used in multiple styles by transforming the main body. Specifically, the normal clamshell style is used for inputting text using the keyboard, the tablet style is used for viewing SNS posts and reading e-books, and the hinge is folded for watching videos. You can freely switch between five styles: a monitor style that has been set up, a flat style that is suitable for sharing the screen with multiple people, and a pen style that is convenient for writing with a dedicated pen. The 5 in 1 Premium Pen Note is currently available in 13.3 inches and 15.6 inches. The "dynabook V8 P1 V8 P PBB" is especially recommended for users who are also considering gaming applications. The full HD 13.3-inch display (IGZO liquid crystal, non-glare) allows you to enjoy all game titles with beautiful images with high brightness, high color purity, and wide viewing angle. The specs for playing the game without stress are also perfect. The CPU uses the 11th generation Intel Core i7-1165G7 processor, the memory uses 16GB, and the storage uses a PCIe-compatible high-speed SSD. Even heavy-duty processing can be done smoothly and comfortably. If the storage capacity is V8, 512GB is secured, so not only games but also data such as photos can be saved. Empower technology is a unique element of Dynabook. This is a technology that increases the thermal design power from the conventional maximum of 15W to a maximum of 28W, thereby increasing the CPU performance by about 1.5 times and the graphics performance by about 3 times. Heat treatment becomes a big problem when playing games on a notebook PC, but the V series has an effective approach to such concerns. One of the excellent features is that it has high mobile performance. It weighs about 979g and is not a burden to carry around in a bag. Also, since it has a long life battery of about 24 hours, it can be fully used all day long. Microsoft Office Home & Business 2019 is also pre-installed, so users who are thinking about business use can rest assured. The standard OS is Windows 10 Home, but it also supports a free upgrade of Windows 11. On October 5th, the "dynabook V4 P1 V4 UPBB" was also announced as the latest model of the 5 in 1 premium Pen notebook. This is equipped with the latest OS Windows 11 as standard, and it is finished as a model that can further demonstrate the characteristics unique to 5 in 1 premium Pen notebook. Android apps are also available, so it's perfect for users who want to enjoy smartphone games on their PC. Demand for PCs that can be optimized according to purpose, such as the 5 in 1 premium Pen notebook developed by Dynabook, will continue to grow as gaming penetrates into the casual segment. It is also a presence that I would like to pay attention to in the year-end and new life sales season that will be excited by Windows 11.
