As a former champion of mobile phone sales, Nokia was also a monopoly of mobile phones before the emergence of Apple. However, in the era of smart phones, nokia phones are still tepid despite several changes of ownership. It was once expected to be acquired by Microsoft, but Windows Phone ultimately failed to pose a threat to iOS and Android. Nokia, eventually fell into the hands of HMD.
After HMD acquired Nokia, there are many various smartphone models, but whether it is domestic or foreign, there are few representative models. Therefore, the Nokia brand, the influence has been much less than before. However, HMD can still license other manufacturers to use Nokia's brand license, such as Nokia's new notebook product that has just been exposed: PureBook Pro.
It is understood that this is the manufacturer of a new product called OFF Global. This manufacturer has signed sales agreements with Nokia in 22 countries.
If you only look at the appearance, the PureBook Pro is still very aggressive, using a 15.6-inch + 17.3-inch screen design. The two screen sizes are relatively large, in the current laptop market, generally are the classification of game books or design books, and will use screen design of this size.
Moving on to the appearance, it seems to be pretty good. PureBook Pro uses an A-side made of aluminum alloy material, which is more textured. Exterior design elements, using rounded edges + large trackpad + backlit buttons. However, the brightness of the screen is very average, at 250 nits. In terms of interfaces that everyone cares about, the two products are 2 USB-C + 1 USB-A interfaces, both of which are 3.2 standards, and the performance is OK. In terms of weight, the 17.3-inch PureBook Pro is 2.5 kilograms! The 15.6-inch PureBook Pro is slightly lighter, at 1.7 kilograms. Overall, it's not thin and light.
It seems to be huge, thinking it is a design book or a game book, but the hardware configuration is really too weak. Both products, both 8G RAM + Intel Core i3-1220P processor + 512G SSD, can only be said to be the entry level. However, despite this, the price is very expensive, and the 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch versions are 699 euros (about 5,000 yuan) and 799 euros (about 5,600 yuan).
However, this product is listed in France, Belgium, Finland, Denmark, Sweden, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Austria, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Norway, Iceland, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Morocco, Tunisia, Canada, and Thailand, and is not sold in China for the time being. Sales are expected to begin in the second quarter of 2022 at direct retailers.
Finally, I just want to say that such a configuration and price, is it not crazy to want money?
