Among the popular manufacturers of computers and equipment, you do not often meet a domestic company. The most popular and proven products are created overseas or in China, and they are in great demand around the world. And we are also accustomed to trusting global brands more than Russian ones. But there are pleasant exceptions - for example, IRBIS, which has been moving quite confidently among other manufacturers for more than ten years. But can it adequately compete with global manufacturers?
The story of the "snow leopard"
It was the name of this representative of the cat family that was borrowed by the creators of the Irbis brand. They started their work in 2002 and showed themselves quite well as manufacturers of TVs, PCs and laptops. The success of this company is that, unlike many other Russian companies manufacturing computer equipment, Irbisuses components from the world's best manufacturers to create its products. Therefore, it is not surprising that the company deserved awards from consumer rights funds.
Today the most popular production segment is tablet computers and smartphones. Due to the focus on the domestic consumer, they have won the recognition of thousands of buyers throughout Russia. Today, their products are quite popular, the range is constantly increasing, as well as the number of buyers.
Tablet "Irbis" - a breakthrough among domestic manufacturers
Despite the fact that many Russian-made tablet computers are treated with caution, the series from this company pleasantly surprised customers with quality and price. In addition, the guarantee for the device inspires confidence - in the homeland they will definitely be able to repair it and find the necessary spare parts for repair. By the way, the price range also played a significant role in the development of this brand. The Irbis TX01 tablet with a rather modest filling under a 7-inch screen costs starting from 2,700 rubles. This small price includes 2 Cortex-A7 cores, a 1.2 GHz processor, not the best 2600 mAh battery, and all this on the system
Android 4.2. Alas, there is no need to talk about extended communication systems such as 3g or at least GPS, and it is unlikely that iron would withstand such configurations.
The most expensive representative of the Irbis family is TW89 (about 15,000 rubles). Here buyers under the screen 8.9 inchesexpect 4 cores, 1.3 GHz processor frequency, 2 GB of RAM, a wonderful 6000 mAh battery, and everything is running Windows 8.1.
Golden mean
One of the most popular tablets in the lineup was the Irbis tx 97 tablet. Customer reviews of it are mostly positive, but the device also has its shortcomings.
Display 9.7 is served by 4 MTK8382 cores, and, as Practice has shown that this is completely enough for Android 4.2 to work. Among other features of the filling is the average capacity of RAM (only 1 GB), but a long-lasting 6000 mAh battery. The communication systems here are wonderful, many users praise the Irbis tablet for its quality. Customers also liked the external design of the device, including the assembly: strong enough, but not heavy. But the decision to hide the SIM and microSD slots under the removable panel did not make users very happy.
Strengths and weaknesses of "Irbis"
Pros: excellent system performance, long-lasting battery, good screen viewing angle, call quality, solid body. Cons: outdated Android OS, weak 2.0 MP camera.
In general, there are more positive ratings than negative ones. But here, when choosing, it is important for yourself to decide for yourself what needs the Irbis tablet is purchased for, reviews and reviews will help you figure it out. It's up to you to decide.
Tablet "Irbis": reviews and recommendations
In general, the device was received well, but many buyers admit that they bought it "out of curiosity". According tousers, TX 97 is ideal for everyday tasks and surfing the Internet. But, alas, part of this merit is an outdated operating system, 4 cores are enough to support its operation.
This "Irbis" tablet does not have a reinforced case, but in general the quality is enough not to worry about the safety of the device during everyday transportation. Naturally, it is better to take care of the cover and the protective film in advance. As the reviews say, the Irbis tablet justifies its expectations. The price / quality ratio is very good, although there is still work to be done. And who knows, maybe in the future "Snow Leopard" will be able to conquer the world market of computer equipment.
