"Now let''s wee the president of GAIA Technologies, Sarah O''Connor to introduce our other products," Aron said when the apuse died down, then smiled at his friend as they passed each other.
Sarah arrived at her position, but had to wait before she started speaking since they were still pping. When the apuse died down, she started speaking. "With the Zeus One being our first product from the smartphone line, I''d like to introduce the first product from ourputer line: the Olympus."
She stopped speaking and, like Aron''s introduction of the phone, the screens behind her started ying a video that introduced the device before ending with an image of theptop and desktop versions. They both had a sleek, majestic, and clean look.
"They, too, are powered by another of our proprietary chips—the O1, which is ten times faster than any other desktop orptop CPU on the market." As she said that, the benchmark results were shown on the screens behind her, evoking slight gasps from the impressed experts in the crowd.
"The O1 is a graphene chip and will act as both CPU and GPU for both theptop and desktop. The chip is manufactured using our proprietary 10nm photolithographic process, so it''s faster, more energy efficient, and can handle more tasks than a standard silicon processor. The form factor isn''t limited by how many pieces of hardware we can cram into it, so both theptop and desktop editions of the Olympus are sleek andfortable for both indoor and outdoor use, while still maintaining a power and performance that leaves ourpetitors in the dust." Theputer being disyed on the screen behind her turned transparent and "exploded", much like the cellphone that Aron had presented, and the O1 was highlighted.
"The screen on theptop version uses the same quantum dot tech as in our Zeus One, but is more capable due to itsrger size. That allows for more quantum dots in the disy, thus a higher resolution. The only thing that limits the Olympusptop''s screen resolution is your eyesight, and even then, our GAIA OS AI assistant canpensate for that," she joked, drawing a chuckle from the audience, then continued her prepared speech. "The Olympusptop webcam is also incorporated into its screen for crystal-clear video calls to keep you connected to your friends and family no matter how far you may be from each other.
"Although you can use third-party monitors for our desktop edition, we rmend ours. Our screens have up to a 680hz dynamic refresh rate with a 0.5ms response time, again leaving ourpetitors in the dust. And our power saver mode ensures that your disy screen willst a long, long time, while not increasing your electricity bills.
"Our monitors also incorporate a scaled-up version of the same SLAS tech in our phones, with three times the number of channels avable. So why settle for the rest, when you can have the best?
"Our proprietary battery can be fully charged within an hour and willst three days under max load. If it''s running under more normal usage, expect it to go ten days or more between charges. We''ve incorporated our batteries into both theptop and desktop version, with the desktop battery acting as an uninterruptible power supply in case of power outages, or if you decide to take it with you on the go.
"Both of them alsoe with the Q-chip for seamless integration into our GAIA ecosystem. So our other peripherals are wireless, as well as secure. We''ve ensured that all of our hardware is as secure as possible by including BugZapper with every purchase, so there''s no need to worry about your private data being used against you." Sarah gave the camera a knowing smile. There would be no more "Fappenings", if she could help it; the mere fact that people that would hack the cloud ounts of individuals and publish their private photos existed had disgusted her for quite some time.
"The starting price of the 11" Olympusptop is $1299, the 13" is $1399, and the 16" is $1599. For the desktop version, the starting price is $999, with $499 and up for our proprietary disy monitors.
"Orders for ourptop, desktop, and phone will open tonight at midnight, Eden Standard Time," she said. It set GAIA Tech apart from otherpanies, where the product introduction conference would be held weeks before the hardware was actually avable for purchase online and in stores.
Sarah went on to introduce speakers, earbuds, headphones, and a tablet,and every time she introduced something, she reminded the audience of its connection to the GAIA ecosystem.
With every product she introduced, people grew more enthusiastic and excited by the products... that is, as long as what she said wasn''t proved wrong in the future. In the inte age, the line between love and loathing was very distinct and easily crossed, after all.
From the time Aron entered the stage to the time Sarah left it, the entire introduction onlysted about an hour and a half. And most of that was spent while they were idle on the stage, waiting for apuse and cheering to die down. Tech enthusiasts sure had no qualms about showing their enthusiasm, often leaving the two presenters of the night at a loss. At one point, Nova had even considered using the sound system to mute the apuse, but that would cause much havoc for little purpose and she quickly discarded the idea.
...
"You can handle the rest, right?" Aron asked as he and Sarah were escorted out of the underground VIP entrance of the auditorium by their ARES details. With so many people invited to the event, the extra security had been deemed necessary.
"Sure. The hard part''s done, so now it''s just waiting for the orders to roll in. I won''t even have to do anything, it''ll all be up to Felix and Rachael."
"Alright. I''ll see you in a week or so," Aron said as he got into his car and headed toward the airport in a convoy with two ARES Reaper teams.
