机会成熟,谷歌初始向Chromebook制造商收费
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;">Chromebook可能马上会涨价,还在观望的<span style="color: black;">伴侣</span>或许要抓紧时间了。日前有<span style="color: black;">信息</span><span style="color: black;">表示</span>,谷歌方面<span style="color: black;">已然</span>悄然<span style="color: black;">调节</span>了与惠普、联想等OEM厂商的合作策略,自7月1日起已<span style="color: black;">起始</span>对Chromebook的软件收取授权<span style="color: black;">花费</span>,金额则会<span style="color: black;">按照</span>Chromebook的<span style="color: black;">详细</span>价位和规格而定,整体费率大约占到其总成本的1%到2%<span style="color: black;">上下</span>。这或许就<span style="color: black;">能够</span>解释,Chromebook<span style="color: black;">为么</span>在上季度<span style="color: black;">快速</span>实现了止跌回升。</span></p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">按照</span>Canalys方面<span style="color: black;">颁布</span>的<span style="color: black;">关联</span>数据<span style="color: black;">表示</span>,2023年第二季度Chromebook的出货量同比<span style="color: black;">提升</span>1%、达到590万台,<span style="color: black;">这里</span>前连续七个季度下滑后,<span style="color: black;">全世界</span>Chromebook市场在该季度实现了小幅上涨。<span style="color: black;">思虑</span>到传言中,谷歌从今年第三季度<span style="color: black;">起始</span>对OEM厂商收取授权<span style="color: black;">花费</span>,<span style="color: black;">因此</span>为了避免支付额外的<span style="color: black;">花费</span>,OEM厂商可能<span style="color: black;">因此呢</span>在7月1日前加快了Chromebook零部件采购及出货的速度,<span style="color: black;">因此呢</span><span style="color: black;">亦</span>带来了二季度市场<span style="color: black;">需要</span>超出预期的结果。</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">那样</span>问题就来了,<span style="color: black;">为么</span>Chromebook在诞生了如此之久后,谷歌方面才想起来要向OEM厂商收取授权<span style="color: black;">花费</span>呢?要<span style="color: black;">晓得</span>在隔壁的Android生态下,谷歌的GMS认证收费传统可谓是源远流长,<span style="color: black;">乃至</span>为了<span style="color: black;">回复</span>当年欧盟的50亿美元反垄断罚款,其<span style="color: black;">更加是</span>向在欧盟区域的<span style="color: black;">关联</span>厂商收取了每部设备最多40美元的软件<span style="color: black;">运用</span>费。</span></p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">这事</span>最有可能的<span style="color: black;">原由</span>,毫无疑问是财大气粗如谷歌<span style="color: black;">此刻</span><span style="color: black;">亦</span>缺钱了。AI俨然<span style="color: black;">已然</span><span style="color: black;">作为</span>了2023年的关键词,<span style="color: black;">同期</span><span style="color: black;">亦</span>是各大厂商争相竞逐的一条赛道,但<span style="color: black;">区别</span>于和OpenAI站在了同一战线的微软,谷歌在这一<span style="color: black;">行业</span>采取的策略是自己来“搞定一切”。可自研大语言模型Pathways Language Model 2,以及向英伟达等芯片厂商购买算力硬件都是要花钱的,而这些<span style="color: black;">表现</span>在财报上,<span style="color: black;">便是</span>谷歌今年<span style="color: black;">第1</span>季度的<span style="color: black;">开发</span><span style="color: black;">花费</span>达到了114.7亿美元,上年同期则是91.2亿美元,大幅上涨了25.8%。</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;">谷歌CFO Ruth Porat此前在财报<span style="color: black;">tel</span>会议上<span style="color: black;">亦</span>曾强调,计划在2023年全年<span style="color: black;">增多</span>总的资本支出,<span style="color: black;">重点</span>是用于技术<span style="color: black;">基本</span><span style="color: black;">设备</span>的投资,为此该<span style="color: black;">机构</span>还将减少办公<span style="color: black;">设备</span>的<span style="color: black;">关联</span>支出。AI大模型很费钱这件事<span style="color: black;">已然</span>是无需置疑的事情了,但财报又需要做得好看,<span style="color: black;">因此</span>谷歌就只能苦一苦员工了。<span style="color: black;">况且</span>从其他业务线<span style="color: black;">增多</span>收入来<span style="color: black;">补助</span>重点项目,这在互联网行业早已见怪不怪,<span style="color: black;">因此呢</span>谷歌是有充足的动力在Chromebook上获取<span style="color: black;">更加多</span>的营收。</span></p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;">但让谷歌方面敢于对Chromebook的软件收钱的关键,则是其<span style="color: black;">已然</span><span style="color: black;">作为</span>了一个联想、惠普、三星等OEM厂商<span style="color: black;">没法</span>割舍的<span style="color: black;">制品</span>,Chromebook卖得太好无疑<span style="color: black;">便是</span>谷歌的底气。事实上,Chromebook是搭载了基于Linux的Chrome OS操作系统的笔记本电脑,其以Chrome浏览器<span style="color: black;">做为</span>主用户界面,依靠在线应用和云存储实现了<span style="color: black;">起步</span>速度快、续航时间长、轻薄便携、操作简单等特质。</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;">在经过了数年的迭代后,如今Chromebook完全<span style="color: black;">能够</span>被视为是当年超极本的“加强版本”。虽然<span style="color: black;">初期</span>的Chrome OS<span style="color: black;">便是</span>一个加强版的Chrome浏览器,但在谷歌加入了Android子系统和Linux桌面应用支持后,<span style="color: black;">此刻</span>Chrome OS<span style="color: black;">已然</span>是个初步实现了“大一统”理念的成熟操作系统,它既能<span style="color: black;">运用</span>Linux应用、还能安装Android APK,<span style="color: black;">同期</span>还是主流操作系统里<span style="color: black;">独一</span>一个<span style="color: black;">同期</span>兼顾触屏和桌面体验的<span style="color: black;">制品</span>。</span></p>
<div style="color: black; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 10px;"><img src="https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-qvj2lq49k0/b311134d52504bd0b364c7f874833a7f~noop.image?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1722922598&x-signature=gC%2BFu69s3X3CLUp0yo%2B17gj2XQA%3D" style="width: 50%; margin-bottom: 20px;"></div>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;">并且值得一提的是,随着Steam for Chrome OS的逐步适配以及云游戏平台的辅助,在Chromebook上玩大型游戏<span style="color: black;">已然</span><span style="color: black;">再也不</span>是一件不可能的事情。</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;">简而言之,<span style="color: black;">倘若</span><span style="color: black;">此刻</span>需要一个计算平台,并最好的兼顾便携性,<span style="color: black;">那样</span>Chromebook或许<span style="color: black;">便是</span>最合适的<span style="color: black;">选取</span>。毕竟平板电脑的移动办公能力<span style="color: black;">迄今</span>都还不算成熟,还只能完成特定场景下的任务,用户体验<span style="color: black;">亦</span>有着<span style="color: black;">显著</span>的缺陷,而传统笔记本电脑的价格则<span style="color: black;">常常</span>更高。</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">那样</span>到底是谁在大批购买Chromebook呢?其实并非个人用户,毕竟它不是专业人士的生产力工具,而是诸如学校、<span style="color: black;">机构</span>等<span style="color: black;">公司</span>。<span style="color: black;">乃至</span>Chromebook如今已<span style="color: black;">作为</span>了美国K12<span style="color: black;">教育</span>体系中,最大的笔记本电脑供应商。</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;">事实上,Chrome OS用网路应用代替本地应用的理念,就非常契合学校和<span style="color: black;">机构</span><span style="color: black;">针对</span>集中管理的<span style="color: black;">需要</span>,管理员能够很方便的在后台管控设备。而谷歌则以30美元的<span style="color: black;">花费</span>向学校<span style="color: black;">营销</span>“教育包”,并<span style="color: black;">供给</span>了全套的设备管理和支持。</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">同期</span>Chromebook本身<span style="color: black;">亦</span>契合网页浏览、邮件发送、视频观看,以及文档编辑等场景,<span style="color: black;">因此</span>在教育<span style="color: black;">行业</span>、<span style="color: black;">尤其</span>是K12<span style="color: black;">周期</span>,学生<span style="color: black;">运用</span>数字化设备的<span style="color: black;">需要</span>基本上在网页上就能满足。<span style="color: black;">另外</span>在这部分用户更为看重的安全性方面,Chrome OS基于云端存储、用户的数据和文件都在本地硬盘上,再搭配Google Drive,就实现了一台Chromebook可<span style="color: black;">同期</span>登录无数用户<span style="color: black;">运用</span>,<span style="color: black;">况且</span>互相不会影响任何隐私的效果。</span></p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;">尽管苹果方面<span style="color: black;">亦</span><span style="color: black;">始终</span>在教育市场奋起直追,但奈何其所给出的<span style="color: black;">处理</span><span style="color: black;">方法</span>过于昂贵,除了少部分<span style="color: black;">公司</span>后,绝大<span style="color: black;">都数</span>人在面对200美元的Chromebook和500美元<span style="color: black;">上下</span>的iPad+键盘套装时,当然会<span style="color: black;">选取</span>更便宜的前者。而<span style="color: black;">此刻</span>的<span style="color: black;">状况</span>则是在教育市场,比Chromebook便宜的<span style="color: black;">欠好</span>用、比Chromebook好用的又太贵。</span></p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: black; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; margin-bottom: 15px;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;">因此</span>一个如此<span style="color: black;">牢靠</span>的基本盘就或许<span style="color: black;">便是</span>谷歌的底气所在,毕竟教育是一个<span style="color: black;">长时间</span>存在、且<span style="color: black;">需要</span>稳定的市场,这<span style="color: black;">亦</span>就<span style="color: black;">寓意</span>着OEM厂商会有着相对稳定的出货预期,<span style="color: black;">亦</span>使得Chromebook<span style="color: black;">作为</span>了一笔细水长流的生意。<span style="color: black;">因此呢</span>在<span style="color: black;">这般</span>的<span style="color: black;">状况</span>下,OEM厂商在面对谷歌新的收费<span style="color: black;">需求</span>时自然就会<span style="color: black;">选取</span>妥协了。</span></p>
