Having a mini PC connected to the TV is something I have always wanted. This has everything I’m looking for at a reasonable price (for now)

by

Since I bought the Mac mini M4 I put aside my previous computer, a fairly large piece of equipment that at specific times I have connected to the television to play or simply to browse the Internet without having to use my cell phone or sit at the desk. That computer is not exactly small and I prefer to avoid using it in the television area because, basically, it does not fit. To this end, I have been considering buying a mini PC for a few weeks, and the Blackview MP60 It is one of the ones that interests me the most right now. It can be found at PcComponentes for a price of 295 euros. The price could vary. We earn commission from these links A mini PC to work or as a multimedia center The RAM memory crisis has affected many devices, and the Blackview MP60 is no exception. It has risen in price in recent months, but it is still interesting for everything it offers in terms of hardware and software, since it comes with Windows 11 Pro preinstalledwhich prevents us from having to install it ourselves. Taking into account how much I liked the format of the Mac mini M4, I am interested (and not a little) in having a similar computer for how multimedia center on the tvwhether to watch content from streaming platforms or simply to browse the Internet, so I take advantage of the fact that I bought the keyboard a while ago Logitech K400 for TV and I have a mouse Logitech MX Vertical. At the hardware level, it comes with an Intel Celeron N150 processor, which is normal for computers at this price. But it also includes 16 GB of RAM (DDR4) and 512 GB of internal storage, more than enough for the use I would give it. It is also worth mentioning that it comes with four USB ports, a pair of HDMI 1.4, an Ethernet port and another 3.5 mm Jack. Of course, seeing that the price of this mini PC has risen a little in recent months, it is possible that it will continue to do so in the coming weeks, so in that case it may not be such an attractive purchase. The RAM that has increased the most in price is DDR5, although DDR4 has not been far behind. This entire mini PC is practically the same as RAM alone, or even cheaper. For work or as a multimedia center still maintains a fairly reasonable priceat least taking into account the moment we are experiencing with the price of RAM. ⚡ IN SUMMARY: Blackview MP60 ✅ THE BEST It comes well equipped: Unless we want to use it more demandingly, it is ideal for working from the sofa or as a multimedia center to watch movies and series or surf the Internet. Its format: It is small, so it is interesting to have it placed next to the television. ❌ THE WORST Its price: The RAM memory crisis is affecting the price of many devices, and this mini PC has not been spared. 💡 BUY IT IF… You are looking for a good mini PC to work with or as a multimedia center taking into account that the price has increased, but may increase further in the coming weeks. ⛔ DON’T BUY IT IF… You want a more powerful device that allows you to run demanding apps or play games sporadically.

OPPO Watch X2 Mini, analysis

by

Wear OS left behind the obligation to charge watches every day with the enormous step forward that the OnePlus Watch 2. I was able to analyze it and was surprised by its duality: dual processor and dual operating system. OnePlus has promoted this innovation, so has OPPO. The Watch X2 Mini that I have tested is a worthy heir. Very compact, loaded with features despite being contained, with five days of autonomy and good performance in the sports record. At least for a smartwatch that is not specifically geared toward workouts. With these credentials, I have to say that the OPPO Watch X2 Mini seems like a great recommendation to me. I explain step by step why. OPPO Watch X2 Mini technical sheet OPPO Watch X2 Mini SCREEN 1.32 inch round AMOLED panel 466 x 466 pixel resolution 352 PPI Brightness from 600 to 1000 nits 2.5D Crystal DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT 43.2 x 43.2 x 11mm 37.8 grams PROCESSOR Qualcomm Snapdragon W5+ BES2800BP RAM 2GB STORAGE 32GB BATTERY 354mAh 6.5W magnetic charging Autonomy from 2.5 to 7 days OPERATING SYSTEM Android 14 with ColorOS Watch 7.0 RTOS Compatible with Android 10 and iOS 14 CONNECTIVITY eSIM 5G and 2.4G WiFi NFC Bluetooth 5.2 OTHERS Resistance 5 ATM and IP68 Optical heart rate and blood oxygen sensor Compass Barometer Stainless steel case PRICE 299 euros OPPO Watch The price could vary. We earn commission from these links OPPO Watch X2 Mini, our experience Design: classic and with exaggerated frames. The watch is quite small for a large wrist like mine. Even so, it does not give a reduced experience, quite the contrary: OPPO has made an effort to maximize the X2 Mini in all aspects. From its excellent stainless steel case to the hardware that beats under the 1.32-inch round screen. The watch is mini, the front shows it. Even so, the frames are thick: around 5 mm. It includes two control buttons that are enough to control anything that is beyond touch. And the back side maintains the heart sensors and a POGO connector for charging. The alignment with the charger is magnetic and said charger has a USB-C port. This way the cable, which also comes in the box, is not damaged. The OPPO Watch X2 Mini seems like the perfect watch for those looking for a complete smartwatch without feeling like they are lifting weights every time they raise their arm. He’s small, but he’s tough. And with a detail: the strap pin is the standard 18 mm. Finding compatible straps is as simple as it is cheap. Blood oxygen saturation measurement The screen shines with its own light. OPPO mounts an OLED panel that is perfectly visible outdoors, even training in sunlight. The brightness is automatic and adapts without problems to the light conditions. It is compatible with Always On, with what that entails: battery life is reduced in that mode. The screen has smoothed edges so that the edges do not interfere with gestures. It is tactile and is protected with hardened glass: I did not scratch it during the weeks of testing (miracle). The watch includes a good number of watch faces, supports video watchfaces, and is compatible with the thousands of Wear OS on Google Play. It’s impossible to get bored. Two is much more than double. When I tested the OnePlus Watch 2 I marveled at the idea of ​​including a dual processor and dual operating system. After the evolution, the OPPO Watch For me it is the way to go in Wear OS. Smartwatch and activity bracelet chip; with software that maintains this duality: Wear OS when the watch uses apps and RTOS for the rest of the tasks. The result is an experience out of ten: the X2 Watch Mini 2 switches between the SoC and soft tandem without the user noticing anything. I have not seen it slow, the jump between sports activities is fast, the registrations are accurate, it has access to Google Play and there are no problems with NFC payments. OPPO has the recipe for the best smartwatch and knows how to cook it perfectly in the Watch X2 Mini. What do smartwatch manufacturers have against mountain biking? A good watch for amateur athletes. Although I play sports every day (or try to), I do not consider myself an athlete. Yes, I like to keep track of all the training sessions to see the evolution. I use a Garmin Epix 2 and it’s fantastic for me. Well: the OPPO Watch X2 Mini is not far behind. I have tested the watch running, walking, high intensity routines, strength training and mountain bike rides. The results have been good for a general purpose smartwatch: It supports more than 100 sports training modes. Too bad the mountain bike is not available (neither is the padel, sorry). Heart rate tracking is sufficiently accurate at low and medium heart rate. Above 150-160 I have seen a margin of error of up to 40 keystrokes. Everything compared to a chest strap connected to the Garmin. Above, OPPO Watch X2 Mini; Below, chest strap connected to Garmin. The OPPO does not register variations or very high heart rates as well. Same exercise: 6.08 km run Related to the previous point, the Watch X2 Mini follows pulse variations as long as they are not triggered by high-intensity interval exercise. In outdoor distance measurements, the positioning system remains at a very good level: the margin of error of the routes is around 50 meters per kilometer. Very quick positioning before the start of practice: less than ten seconds is usually enough. The track record has some saw teeth and may not follow the paths on the map 100% accurately. In terms of total distances, the overall result is decent. Left, Garmin GPS; right, Vivo GPS.

part of the Mac mini will be manufactured in the US

by

It’s not every day that Apple can announce that one of its products will begin manufacturing in the United States. The company, whose supply chain has been supported for years in Asia, has confirmed what part of mac mini will be produced in Houston later this year. We are not talking about the iPhone or its best-selling laptop, but rather its most affordable desktop computer, a model that, according to estimates by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners, represents less than 1% of total sales. Still, the movement is symbolic and comes at a time when domestic manufacturing is once again at the center of the industrial debate in Washington. The announcement is specific. Apple will begin producing the Mac mini at a facility in north Houston later this year. Manufacturing will take place at a plant operated by Foxconn, the same industrial partner that already assembles the company’s advanced AI servers there. “Apple is deeply committed to the future of American manufacturing and we are proud to significantly expand our presence in Houston with Mac mini production beginning later this year,” said Tim Cook in the official statement. The company presents the move as an expansion of its industrial presence in Texas and as part of its commitment to strengthen operations on US soil. What’s in Houston. The complex in the north of the city is not starting from scratch. Over there Foxconn It already assembles the advanced servers that Apple uses for its artificial intelligence services, including equipment that incorporates logic boards produced on site and shipped to data centers within the United States. The campus will have two buildings: one operational for servers and another, described as a large warehouse, which will be converted into about 220,000 square feet of space for the Mac mini. The pressure and the tariffs. The step is part of Apple’s commitment to invest $600 billion in the United States over the next four years, a promise the company made following President Donald Trump’s threats to impose a 25% tariff on products manufactured abroad. As we can see, these types of spending commitments occurred in a context of pressure to increase domestic investment, in exchange for tariff exemptions. Limited movement. Sabih Khan, Apple’s chief operating officer, explained to The Wall Street Journal that production in the United States is designed to cover local demand as the line gains capacity, but that thousands of units will continue to be manufactured in Asia. Additionally, the Mac mini represents less than 5% of global Mac computer sales and less than 1% of total sales, according to estimates by Consumer Intelligence Research Partners. And something very important: there is also, for now, no plan to move the manufacturing of the iPhone to the country, the product that really supports the bulk of the business. Texas was already part of the map. Before the Mac mini, the Mac Pro had been the flagship of Apple computer manufacturing in the United States. Since 2013 it has been assembled in Austin and in 2019 the company reiterated its commitment to that facility, relying on American suppliers and a tariff exclusion for certain components. More than a radical change, the decision represents a calculated adjustment. Apple expands its manufacturing presence in Texas with a product of moderate scope, in a context in which supply chains remain international.

Hisense has found the key to improving the color on its 2026 Mini LED and Micro LED televisions: adding more subpixels

by

One of the challenges for television manufacturers is to evolve their technologies to improve their ability to represent color, without implying an excessive increase in production costs. Hisense seems to have found the key for its 2026 televisions to improve their image quality: add one more color subpixel to its matrix of Mini LED and Micro LED panels. The brand presented at CES 2026, which is being held in Las Vegas, two advances that seek to make colors more natural and precise: Mini LED evowhich adds a fourth cyan subpixel, and the evolution of its MicroLED panels with the RGBY Micro LEDwhich incorporates a yellow subpixel to its RGB matrix. Both changes allow televisions to better reproduce the most difficult-to-achieve color nuances. RGB MiniLED evo: cyan is the new white The televisions Current Hisense MiniLEDs They are based on thousands of small LED light diodes that illuminate the screen from behind, achieving better lighting control. This improves the contrast without sacrificing the brightness of the screen, being able to turn off more areas of the screen to achieve deeper blacks. In 2025, Hisense put on the table an evolution of that technology with RGB MiniLED, in which the white or blue mini LEDs were replaced by three RGB diodes (red, green and blue) to directly generate colorsinstead of using color filters as traditional LCD screens did. The MiniLED evo that Hisense has just presented goes one step further in this development and adds a fourth cyan subpixel to that RGB matrix. This intermediate color between blue and green helps reproduce complex tones that were previously only approximated by combining the three subpixels. Hisense’s solution is an adaptation to LED of what LG had been doing in its WRGB OLED panelsin which a white subpixel was added to improve brightness, although in this version the aim is to increase the color volume. Clear skies, water or certain skin tones look more natural and with softer gradients. In addition, local light management (local dimming) becomes more precise, reducing halos and poorly lit areas in scenes with high contrast. The introduction of this fourth subpixel increases the effective color gamut, achieving 110% coverage of the BT.2020 color space used as the professional cinema standard. Since, in essence it is an evolution (not a revolution) of the MiniLED RGB system that it already implemented last year in its top model, this new technology will be deployed to models ranging from 55 to 100 inches in a new UR9 and UR8 family, while the new MiniLED RGB evo panels will be limited to the 116UXS (which, as its name indicates, has a diagonal of 116 inches) as an evolution to the MiniLED RGB model of 2025. MicroLED RGB: three colors are no longer enough Along the same lines, Hisense has also presented improvements to the Micro LED RGB panels that it already presented in 2025 for its most premium range. As was the case with the Mini LEDs, the brand is committed to separating the color from the point of emission, replacing the blue or white diodes with three diodes that directly emit the RGB matrix. This is something that Samsung also has launched in its plans for 2026. However, in the variant presented by Hisense for 2026, a fourth yellow subpixel has been added along with red, green and blue, leaving an RGBY configuration. The yellow subpixel fills a critical gap in the spectrum that the three traditional colors cannot accurately cover. This addition improves the reproduction of warm tones and complex light transitions, such as those presented by skin, golden lights or sunsets, with softer and more natural gradients. For the moment, the new RGBY Micro LED is reserved for the 163MX RGBY model of no less than 163 incheswhich integrates millions of subpixels managed by a new processor and algorithms that balance brightness and color. The combination of greater precision in the backlighting provided by much smaller diodes and the incorporation of the yellow subpixel allows 100% of the BT.2020 color space to be achieved, bringing the quality of giant screens closer to those used in professional production. It’s a new era for LED The evolution that Hisense has presented is nothing more than confirmation that, although OLED represents an “affordable” way to obtain the best image quality, LED still has a lot to say in terms of quality and color volume. In the MiniLED evo, the addition of the fourth cyan subpixel allows intermediate colors between blue and green to look more natural, while in the RGBY microLED, the yellow subpixel improves the fidelity of warm and complex tones. In practice, these improvements translate into more consistent, natural and detailed images, without depending only on brightness or resolution. Hisense’s proposal for 2026 is presented more as an evolution in qualitative terms than as a revolution. It is a sign that the future of Mini LEDs and Micro LED involves optimizing the way colors are generated, using additional subpixels and controlling light emission with better processors and more refined algorithms.

making cell towers mini data centers for AI

by

A few days ago we heard the news that NVIDIA had invested $1 billion in Nokiataking over 2.9% of the Finnish company. Although the check in itself is striking news, since for many people, Nokia had been lost off the map for many years, the movement makes all the sense in the world: it is the Western response to many of the Chinese technology companies that for years have been investing in the deployment of 6G. And of course, with NVIDIA behind them, telephony base stations can serve much more than just providing coverage to millions of devices: becoming small distributed data centers for AI. The plan behind the investment. NVIDIA and Nokia are not just designing equipment for mobile networks. They are redefining what a cell tower is. The idea is that each base station (the towers and small installations that we see on buildings and streets) become a computing node with the ability to execute operations involving AI technologies in real time. “An AI data center in everyone’s pocket”, according to Justin Hotard, CEO of Nokia. The key here is to bring processing closer to the user in order to eliminate latency, which is usually one of the most frequent problems in AI applications that require real-time processing, such as instant translation, augmented reality or autonomous vehicles. Without latency, everything changes. When we ask an AI to translate a conversation or analyze live images, every millisecond counts. Sending that data to a distant server, processing it, and returning it introduces a significant delay that mars the final experience. The most logical solution is to decentralize: that the AI ​​lives close to the userin the telecommunications infrastructures themselves. In this sense, NVIDIA will contribute chips and specialized software, while Nokia will adapt its 5G and 6G equipment to integrate that computing capacity. As announced, the first commercial tests will begin in 2027 with T-Mobile in the United States. The Nokia effect on the stock market. Nokia shares they shot up 21% after the news broke, reaching highs not seen since 2016. NVIDIA and OpenAI have become King Midas of technology: everything they touch goes up. The investment is also a boost to the strategy of Hotard, who since his arrival in April has accelerated Nokia’s shift towards data centers and AI. The company, which already acquired Infinera for 2.3 billion to strengthen its position in data center networks, it is now positioned as the only Western supplier capable of competing with Huawei in the complete supply of telecommunications infrastructure. EITHERafter space race. While Europe and the United States accelerate their 6G plans, China has been investing aggressively in this technology for years. This alliance between NVIDIA and Nokia is a somewhat late response, but necessary. Jensen Huang, CEO of NVIDIA, explained in his speech in Washington that the goal is “to help the United States bring telecommunications technology back to America.” It is not just about infrastructure, but about strategic control. And whoever dominates this network of brains distributed throughout cities and roads will control the AI ​​applications of the future. And now what. The McKinsey consulting firm esteem that investment in data center infrastructure will exceed $1.7 trillion by 2030, driven by the expansion of AI. Nokia and NVIDIA want their piece of the pie, but they are also betting on a structural change: that mobile networks stop being mere data tubes and become intelligent computing platforms. It remains to be seen if this model works commercially and whether operators are willing to update their infrastructure.

One day, someone thought that a mini with Rolls-Royce interior was a good idea. And what surprised the most were … his carpet

by

The BMW group is particular. For just over 25 years, Bavaria’s firm has been taking other companies under his arms. In 1998, Rolls-Royce became part of it and only three years later, in 2001, Mini did the same. In the mid -50s, the world closely followed the Egyptian nationalization of the Suez Canal. The decision derived, among other things, in a generalized rise in fuels that very hard to the automobile industry. Iconic models were born from that crisis. He Fiat 500 It was one of them. The British answer would arrive with the mini. Both cases shared many similarities: small cars that prioritized the interior space, very practical to move around and with very tight engines to position themselves as affordable and easy to maintain vehicles. Saving the technical conditions of those years, in Mini they managed to carry The engine in front and place it transverselya whole milestone that differentiated him from Fiat 500 himself but also from beetle, the other great supervants of the moment. In both cases, the engine was located in the rear. Almost instantaneously, the mini gained popularity for its extreme lightness and agility. So much so that in 1964 he managed more bizarrest preparations and foster the sports spirit of those light cars that are no longer left. Perhaps that is why it is not so surprised that with Rolls-Royce and Mini under the same umbrella, both companies joined to create a most special piece. Fit a rolls-royce in a four-meter car With the purchase of Mini by BMW, the brand was reborn but did it with very different hallmarks. He collected the retro aesthetics from his ancestors but he was reconverted to offer an urban coolan attractive car in the visual, of premium price but with a very distinctive driving dynamic. The success was immediate with the Company redefinition. The popularity of the first new Mini Cooper was immediate and attracted all eyes. The Cooper S or John Cooper Works versions would arrive. But far from the expected sports options, in 2011 Mini surprised with a most unexpected collaboration. With the Mini Inspired by GoodwoodRolls-Royce tried to fit all the company’s luxury in a car that at that time did not reach four meters .. a kind of miniaturization of the maximum luxury and the most select of the automobile industry that was framed within the Deportivo Mini Cooper S. The car reached the Spanish market with a price at the height of its interiors: 49,500 euros … in 2012. That is, today it would cost almost 65,000 euros if we apply the inflation corresponding to that period. Of course, one of the fortunate thousand who made one of these limited series sold the car last year for 31,000 pounds (35,740 euros) that, adding the corresponding taxes, cost more or less the same as the same as the same as the same as more than a decade. Inside, this particular mini had the classic leather upholstery in ‘Cornsilk Beige’ color typical of British luxury berlins and insertions in walnut wood. The roof was topped in Kashmir The sound system was signed by Harman/Kardon and added less common details in those years in small vehicles such as parking sensors or bi-xenon headlights. Even the browser and automatic change had to be asked as extras, increasing the price of the car by more than 3,000 euros. As a personal anecdote, a few days ago I shared a quick talk with Sergio Ríos (Autobild) and Héctor Ares (usual among our companions of Motorpasion). Both They have been able to drive at some time a rolls-royce And both made reference to a differential detail: the carpets. And is that in the test of Autobild For more than 10 years, its author also stood out from the mini inspired by Goodwood this aspect. In fact, In the article you could read the following: What caught my attention the most when I opened the door for the first time were … the carpets. Yes, you are going to laugh, it is not the element in which I usually look at a car, but those carried by this mini inspired by Goodwood are to take a picture and teach them: they are made of lamb skin, and they are so soft that you want to take off your shoes and drive barefoot. In addition, they are very warm; Of course, they have panic, dust and, of course, the mud Yeah, There were reasons to buy a mini inspired by Goodwood and pay for a four -meter -long car and 184 hp gasoline engine almost the same as for a Porsche Boxster In those years. The first, you had enough money. The second, that you will fall in love with some carpets that were like staying to live in them.

Madrid needs to build a lot to relieve its serious housing crisis. You already have a (mini) plan to achieve it

by

Madrid You need housing. A lot of housing. If the city wants to solve its mismatch between supply and demand and thus stop The climbing Price that he has long suffered needs to strengthen his market. It is not a simple task. Over the last years the capital has Moved file for example to avoid the escape of floors towards the holiday rental or clear land in which Raise new houses. With that backdrop, his City Council has just taken an important step with which he hopes to create hundreds of households in a new urban widening. Objective: to stop one of the Great challenges of the capital. What happened? That Madrid has taken an important step that will allow (partly) to relieve one of its most pressing problems: The lack of housing. A few days ago the City Council advanced in the procedures to clear the situation of an area of 218,000 m2 located east of the capital, together with San Fernando de Henares and Coslada, and in which 700 houses will be built, 50% official protection. What exactly? Advance in the long bureaucratic journey that the project has to complete before the first stone is placed. Last week the Government Board of Madrid approved Submit to the public information process the Sector Plan for the ‘Development of the East-Esanche of San Fernando’. The objective: ultimately, order the land located next to San Fernando de Henares and Coslada to “transform” with green areas, services … and houses. The Governing Board also approved to send the document to the Community of Madrid to activate two other essential bureaucratic gears: the strategic environmental assessment and the territorial impact report. For now, the project already has a favorable report from the General Planning Directorate. Click on the image to go to Tweet. Where will it be built? East of Madrid. To be more precise, near the roads M-45 and M-50 and the Regional M-206, between the towns of San Fernando de Henares and Coslada. Towards the East limits with the Parque Roma-Coronas neighborhood (S. Fernando de Henares), to the Oste with Jarama (Coslada) and to the south beautiful with the hills (Madrid). The Consistory recalls that under the ground the Metro line 7 runs, not far away are the Central Coslada and S. Fernando. The idea is not to build only 700 homes, green areas and other equipment, but “integrate” the new neighborhood into the surroundings, especially with Romoronas Park and Jarama, “giving continuity and harmony to the whole set, also with the metropolitan forest,” Clarify José Luis Martínez-Almeida’s team. The Consistory wants to integrate the improved road into the urban framework, preventing it from acting as a kind of “barrier”. Why is it important? Because among other things the Ensanche of San Fernando plans to create about 700 new homes, half with some degree of public protection and the rest available for the free market. And that is an important news in a city that suffers a deep mismatch between demand and the supply of residences, which translates into a deficit that some voices of the sector They relate precisely with the lack of soil available for construction. The Association of Real Estate Promoters of Madrid (Asprima) Calculate that every year they are necessary 40,000 New households in the community, well above the production of new construction. According to their estimates, over the last years housing deliveries have remained between 7,200 of 2014 and the “peak” of 23,500 last year. In 2023 and 2024 he estimates that 16,000 and 18,600 began respectively, which gives an idea of the stage for the next few years. And what does that suppose? “There is much more demand than supply and that translates into a price increase. In addition, there is an embolized demand for more than 175,000 homes,” warned Real Estate Consultores Forum in a 2024 analysis. In its last year’s report, Asprime already remembered that the INE forecasts pass through that in the coming years (between 2022 and 2037) the population of the Community of Madrid grows almost 13% to exceed the 7.8 million inhabitantswhich will fully affect its real estate market, tensioning it even more. “This growth will cause the community to build housing in the next 14 years for 573,738 new homes, passing the housing park of the 2,636,988 existing in December 2022 until 3,210,726 of December 2037. It means building more than 40,000 homes a year, compared to the 17,000 that are currently built,” collect The promoters report. The collective is part involved, but it is not the only one who has warned of the hole, a problem that extends to other regions of the country and also has pointed out The Bank of Spain. Does it affect something else? Yes. The mismatch between supply and demand, added to other factors such as The pressure that holiday rentals exercise, it is felt on several fronts. For example, in The speed with which the floors find tenant or buyer or The hard conditions who are forced to assume those interested so as not to be expelled from the market. If there is a clear indicator of the imbalance it is nevertheless the price. Idealista calculates that M2 costs € 5,718 In the capital, 23.7% more than a year ago. In the case of rentals the rise was from 11.3%. Images | Quique Olivar (UNSPLASH) and Borja Carabante (X) In Xataka | In Madrid the number of Latinos has shot.

The Wushang Dream was a mini -city

by

There are shopping centers that are traveled. And there are others that are inhabited. In Wuhan, South of the Yangtsé Riverthere is one so big that it costs to locate it In a single idea. Not even the locals manage to agree: some compare it with a theme park, others with a vertical city. Those who already know him, simply call him by name: Wushang Dream was (武商梦时代). Actually, it is not just a matter of size, although the 800,000 square meters it occupies They do not go unnoticed. What makes it a difficult place to cover is its ambition. He doesn’t want you to pass, he wants you to stay. You don’t even need to plan what to do: you can ski, try traditional street food, ride a roller coaster that crosses several floors or take your children to a snow park without leaving the building. Between artificial snow and neon lights: this is how one day is lived in the Wushang Dream was It was not an improvised project. The Wushang Dream was is Fruit of six years of works and many concentrated ambitions. Behind is one of China’s most veteran commercial groups, which invested 12,000 million yuan (about 1.5 billion euros) with a clear idea: lift the largest “pure” shopping center of the worldaccording to its promoters, and turn it into a new cultural, gastronomic and entertainment axis. All that, in the center of Wuhan, just where two of its busiest streets cross. Since opening in 2022, the place has not stopped receiving visitors. According to the group’s own figuresit is one of the busiest spaces in the country and is part of the call “Gold triangle”Commercial of the city. The motto is clear: here it is not only bought. It comes to spend the day, or at least try. Because with its 13 levels, its 600 stores and its snowy park on a roof, it is not difficult to lose the notion of time. It is not necessary to go abroad to find strong emotions. Inside the complex, one can ski on snow slopes or slide by An ice cream. All this happens in differentiated, but well integrated areas: the WS Dreamland amusement park and the WS Snow Miracle space, which maintains a controlled temperature environment all year. The company ensures that the interior remains at about -5 ° C. More than an extravagance, the center seems to look for an alternative form of urban leisure. What are separate weekend plans in other places –ir to the park, pass through a store, dinner out – here it becomes a continuous experience. And if you do not see it, the building is responsible for reminding you: the mechanical stairs connect thematic areas, the posters indicate activities for children and adults, in each plant there are something else. One of the most unique areas of the complex is in the subsoil. It’s called “Chu Feng Han Wei” and it’s not just a food street. It is a complete recreation of Wuhan from the 80swith old posters, appliances from another era, shop windows with recorders, enameled thermos and tube televisions. Some visitors stop in front of their children and explain how things were “when they were little.” Others simply sit down to eat. Several of the premises that have a presence here are historical in the city: from the low -beef of Lao Wancheng to Sikimei vapor soups. Some have adapted their letter to the environment, with exclusive dishes that can only be tested in this commercial version of the past. Halfway between theme park and gastronomic fair, the area has become one of the busiest points in the center. Those who prefer the new to the nostalgic also find their land here. Among the more than 600 stores in the center, several have been presented as “First” in its category. Is, for example, The largest Sony store in the regiona space that not only exposes products, but allows you to try calmly. There is also a large space for Huawei, an urban design bookstore and even a Starbucks with personalized decoration for Wuhan. The result is a type of audience that not only enters by necessity, but out of curiosity. Young people looking for the latest releases, technology fans who compare prices and functionalities in situ, visitors who enter with the idea of “seeing what is” and end up doing sound, image or connectivity tests as if that were an electronics fair. Within the building there is also space for more visible innovations. Patrol do not make it vigilant on foot, but employees who move in equilibrium scooters. Visitor information centralizes interactive screens. And in some areas, logistics management incorporates Artificial Intelligence Models to anticipate needs depending on the time or volume of public. Everything looks for the same: that the center works as a miniature city, with its own rules, schedules and routines. At this point, it is difficult to pigeonhole the Wushang Dream was. Is it a shopping center? Yes, but it is also a theme park, an urban gallery, an architectural experiment and a place where many go without intention to buy anything. There may be its success there: in having turned a space designed for consumption into something more similar to an urban capsule where the day spends, see things or share time.
