Faced with the American embargo, here is the first laptop 100% Made in Russia

To equip itself with computer equipment, Russia no longer has a choice: it must turn to China, or manufacture its own computers. The firm Bitblaze has unveiled a first model, all the components of which are Russian. It will be aimed at government and business.

Apple, Samsung, Google, IntelDell, Microsoft… The major computer giants have decided to boycott russia after the invasion of Ukraine and, following the example of China with the sanctions against HuaweiRussian industry must fend for itself to create smartphones or some computers. With the difference that China is one of the world leaders in this sector, while Russia has never shone…

Exactly, Gizchina reveals that the Russian company Promobit is preparing to produce a laptop called bitblaze Titan BM15. As the firm is deprived of AMD or Intel chips, the laptop will use a processor “Baikal-M” produced in-house. This chip is based on an octa-core architecture with cores RMA Cortex-A57 that can each reach up to 1.5 GHz. The graphic part adopts the core GPUs Mali-T628 MP8 at a frequency of 750 MHz. It supports dual channel DDR4-2400 or DDR3-1600 memory.

Not for the general public

Looking more closely at the configuration, we discover a 15.6-inch screen capable of displaying images in 1.080p. Under the keyboard, a solid-state drive of 512 GB and 16 GB of random access memory. So it’s more high end. For wireless connectivity, Wireless and Bluetoothas well as sockets USB 3.0, hdmi, USB-C and even RJ-45 that we hardly see anymore. For autonomy, a 6,000 mAh battery will do.

On the finish side, the manufacturer announces two models. The classic in alloy ofaluminum and a more luxurious alloy titanium. Finally, obviously no Windows, nor Chromium OSbut of linux. The manufacturer plans to manufacture 1,000 in the coming months, for the government and Russian companies, with prices between 100,000 and 120,000 rubles, or between 1,500 and 1,900 euros.
