With the advent of a new brand on the market, every potential buyer always has the thought that this is another Chinese manufacturer who is eager to conquer the hearts of the people of a multimillion-dollar state. It's hard not to agree with this, but only one unknown brand in its name hints that he is Russian - the IRU. What kind of company is hidden behind this abbreviation, what kind of assortment of goods and services is offered, as well as reviews in the media about the brand, the reader will learn from this article.

Historical reference

In 2002, the Russian company for the production of computer equipment was named IRU. What kind of firm, and what products does it offer on the market?

1. High-performance smartphones based on Android OS. The manufacturer has created a device that can compete with serious brands in terms of functionality, but with low cost in the market.
2. Notebooks and IRU tablets are known to many users in the post-Soviet space. After all, these devices are able to compete with the convenience, design and performance of more expensive products from Apple.
3. IRU computers are better known in educational institutions and enterprises, because the state always supports the domestic manufacturer.
4. Smart watches with built-in GSM-module and its own operating system, which a year after the announcement by the company IRU, tried to recreate in their own way in Apple.

A large share of the domestic market

In the markets of the post-Soviet space, the company IRU is known for its elegant notebooks, the price of which is available to any buyer. And if it were not for the company logo, which is located under the screen, the device could be taken for one of the novelties of the famous American brand. The IRU looks great. Strict style, underlined elegance in everything - the screen, keyboard, corners and bevels on expensive plastic. But not only the appearance attracts the user's attention.

Interesting stuffing all, without exceptions, IRU devices. What kind of firm that did not worry about the performance parts in their devices in the digital age? The manufacturer of IRU notebooks equips its devices with only modern technologies. Virtually all devices are equipped with powerful processors of the latest generation, huge amounts of RAM and SSD-drives to improve system performance. Business systems are presented on the market with integrated video adapters, and game lovers will pick up laptops with a discrete video card.

Do not give rest to two questions

Let the IRU laptop and is the best purchase in the market by the price-quality criterion, but there are a number of questions that you really want to ask the manufacturer. Judging by numerous reviews of owners, a big negative to the cooling system of devices that are built on the basis of the chipset nVidia 6100. The banal overheating leads to the burning of the north bridge and video adapter. Let this and the guarantee case, but this development does not fit into the minds of buyers.

Using expensive and high-quality plastic in the laptop, the manufacturer did not pay attention to the looper holders of the matrix cover. Accidental disclosure of the screen, more than the set opening angle, and the laptop should be carried to the service, where specialists install already normal loops, which will last a very long time.

Large selection of tablets

Pay attention to another device, which is produced under the brand IRU. What is the firm in today's market, which produces computers and mobile devices, bypassing the tablets? The company pleased the company with all its fans, releasing a huge number of devices with a screen size of 7 to 12 inches. All devices with a small diagonal have a metal casing and are equipped with productive components, because their target audience is young.

Tablets with a larger diagonal, starting from 9 inches, are aimed at fans of Internet surfing and fans of multimedia. The filling in them is far from being a game, but it is quite enough for the work of simple applications and games. Any IRU tablet, regardless of the configuration and size, is equipped with a high-quality matrix, which has a large margin of contrast and brightness. Built-in GPS module of Russian production works perfectly in any conditions, thanks to which drivers, travelers and amateurs will like.

Split personality

Judging by the numerous reviews, the IRU tablet is criticized by many users due to the use of different operating systems - Android, DOS, Windows 8 series. This approach discourages many potential buyers. For example, a fan of the Android system, having picked up a device with a powerful processor, a large amount of memory and all the necessary communications, discovers that the tablet is running under the operating system Windows 8.1.

There are also many questions to the powerful quad-core systems that are sold with the DOS operating system. Such an economical option for those who want to save, creates a lot of inconvenience, which begin with the installation of the operating system and ending with warranty service in the service center, where they are required to provide the device in its original form, without OS.

A worthy competitor

It is unlikely that the Russian company was counting on the great popularity that smartphones under the IRU brand won. "What kind of firm?" - reviews in the media in a very short period of time attracted the attention of the public to Russian smartphones . In the first place attracts potential buyers price - it is not comparable to the electronic stuffing that is installed in smartphones. It seems that the seller in the price tag forgot to add one zero, in the end.

All smartphones have very powerful processors and a large amount of RAM. There is full support for all existing wireless interfaces of the new generation. The devices have two GSM-modules, which operate autonomously from each other. In the kit there is a spare battery of increased capacity and a cover for the device.

Conquering the server hardware market

Many IRU brands are associated with servers. And if earlier the company preferred to give preference to the HP brand when buying rack servers, now IRU servers are free to compete with well-known brands in the market, both in performance and fault tolerance. This fact confirms the conclusions of many tenders held in the territories of the post-Soviet space.

The assortment of the manufacturer can not be called a big one, but the devices are enough to ensure the work of not only medium-sized businesses, but also large enterprises, with large volumes of databases and backup systems. The company IRU offers a form factor server 1U and 4U.

Miracle devices

It is noteworthy that the company IRU reviews of a positive nature and has on electronics, which is not advertised by the manufacturer and is often absent from the stores of computer equipment. First of all, we are talking about mini-PCs. The device is officially called "Prefix Smart TV" and looks like a big flash drive. However, the functionality of the mini-PC differs little from the smartphones under the IRU brand, except that there is no display. A powerful processor, a large amount of memory and all kinds of wireless technologies. The device must be connected to a monitor or a TV using the HDMI connector.

The prefix works under the Android operating system and is controlled using the miniature remote that comes with the kit. Judging by the numerous feedback from users, the presence of a built-in USB connector in the device allows you to connect a wireless keyboard and mouse. Control is also possible from any smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, of course you need to install the appropriate application on both devices.

Finally

As can be seen from the review, the Russian electronics company has occupied all the existing niches in the market of computer, mobile and portable devices. Using the pricing policy, the IRU brand is not going to surrender its positions, this is evidenced by the constant appearance of new products, both on the market and at all kinds of exhibitions and conferences.

Not far off is the day when the company will be able to afford the luxury of recalling defective products from stores, for example, all laptops on nVidia 6100 chips. It's very good that IRU provides a full warranty on all its products with the possibility of replacement, but many Users, judging by their feedback, I would like to initially buy a finished product without factory rejection.
