Instead of a new workstation, Smartisan should have made a KTV machine

Some birds come to the world for fulfilling their duties rather than just dodging bullets. —Luo Yonghao, founder of Smartisan

From Bullog—Luo Yonghao’s blog started in 2006—to Luo And His Friends Education and Technology Co., Ltd (老罗和他的朋友们有限公司… what a name), I have always harbored great respect for Master Luo. Although Smartisan only managed to occupy limited market share after being released, its idealism and design have brought some changes to this fickle and impetuous industry. Like what Master Luo said above, I have been looking forward to his disruptive moves and his leading the next wave like Steve Jobs. This has motivated me to tolerate his constant boasting on microblog without unfollowing him. However, my patience could only last until their recent announcement.

Along with their their new phone, the Nut R1, Smartisan also released the TNT workstation, which Master Luo called a revolutionary product that enables a 300% efficiency increase for major tools on mainstream computing platforms.
