Russia creates a shockproof laptop for “severe conditions”

13.12.2016 |
A Russian developer T-Platforms plans to utilize a grant of 150 million rubles (around $2.5 million) received from the Ministry of Industry and Trade to create a heavy duty laptop. The device that will be also waterproof and thermal shock-resistant (-50°C +50°C), is targeted at the companies and individuals who work in so-called severe conditions.

The developer intends to use two types of processors, Intel and Baikal-M (designed by Baikal Electronics). By using local components, T-Platforms wants to ensure the highest level of safety for its product and also support the national hardware industry. With preinstalled Linux OS, the new device will also support a more popular Windows 10 – to minimize the trouble for the users if they want to migrate.

The pilot batch of the super-strong laptops with Intel processes is expected to be shipped in about a year. This should satisfy customers for the 3-4 year “transition period” while Baikal-M undergoes some final modifications. According to T-Platforms, it will switch to local components in the second half of 2017.
