I bought this laptop on sale for 11,990 rubles. It has an excellent matte 14.1 "IPS FullHD screen, 4GB storage and 128GB storage. It weighs only 1.079 kg. Windows 10 Pro is preinstalled. The battery lasts for 5-7 hours of watching movies.
I think many people have a question why this and similar laptops are several times cheaper than laptops of well-known brands. First of all, the point is in the design - there is a cheap plastic case and a small board on which the processor, memory, and flash drive are soldered. Nothing can be added or replaced (unless you can install another SSD drive, more on that below). An inexpensive Intel Celeron N4020 processor (1.1-2.8 GHz) is used here, but it is quite enough for office work, the Internet and watching videos (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1287510.html).
The first thing that surprised me about this laptop is the weight: it turned out to be significantly lighter than indicated in the specifications. On the box, in the instructions and on all sites, the weight is 1.28 kg, but in fact the laptop weighs 1.08 kg - by 200 grams lighter (for the first time I see that the manufacturer indicates the characteristics worse than they actually are business). The power supply unit weighs 114g including the cable.
The size also differs from the indicated one: everywhere it is written 328x213x21 mm, in fact, the size of the laptop is 328x217 mm, the thickness of the plastic is 21 mm, but together with the legs it turns out to be 24 mm.
Here are the characteristics of the laptop:
Processor: Intel Celeron N4020 1.1-2.8 GHz 2 cores cache 4 MB
RAM 4 GB LPDDR4 2400 MHz
Storage: 128GB eMMC
Screen: 14.1 "IPS 1920x1080 matte
Video card: Intel UHD Graphics 600 (integrated into the processor)
Ports: USB 3.0, USB 2.0, MiniHDMI, audio, microSD, SSD M2, power
Sound: 2 speakers, 2 microphones
Webcam: 2 MP
Wireless interfaces Wi-Fi: 802.11b / g / n 2.4 GHz, Bluetooth 4.0
Battery: 30.4 Wh (7.6 V 4000 mAh), 12 V 2 A charger
Size and weight: 328x217x24 mm, 1.08 kg
Operating system: Windows 10 Professional
Warranty: 1 year.
Alas, there are only two USB ports, no LAN port, Wi-Fi only 2.4 GHz.
As with all similar laptops, the power button is exactly the same as all the other buttons on the keyboard. It is in the upper right corner.
Location of connectors.
Below is a hatch for installing an additional M2 2280 SSD-drive.
The laptop has an excellent IPS screen. At any brightness level, the backlight ripple does not exceed 1.5%.
The cooling is passive, so the laptop runs completely silent.
The laptop is preinstalled with Windows 10 Pro 64 bit 20H2 with updates on 07/15/2021.
Installed programs "MyOffice standard home version" (text and spreadsheet editors) and "Yandex", which includes a Yandex browser.
System and programs occupy 25 GB, 93 GB free.
I tested the speed of the drive: read almost 300 MB / s, write 100 MB / s. Quite smart for a super-cheap laptop.
AS SSD Benchmark performed similarly.
An old Cinebench 10 test measured 3814 parrots in single-core mode and 5650 parrots in multi-core mode.
In 2012, our readers and I "measured processors" using this test (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/324778.html). The 3814/5650 result roughly corresponds to the Core i5-3317U 1.70 GHz, which is quite good.
I measured Windows boot time: the desktop appears 22-27 seconds after the power button is pressed.
Checked the battery life. With a comfortable screen brightness of 70%, the laptop worked in the movie mode for 5 hours and 20 minutes, after which the battery charge level reached 5% and the laptop fell asleep. After waking up, the film ran for another 1 hour and 20 minutes, after which the laptop completely shut down. The total playback time turned out to be 6 hours 40 minutes. Full charge time is 4 hours.
The card reader of the laptop is rather slow: the read and write speed of the memory card is only 18 MB / s.
As I said, I bought this laptop on sale for 11,990 rubles. Now in Ozone, where I bought it, it costs 20,300 rubles, in M.Video and Eldorado 19,990 rubles. On Avito, speculators who bought this laptop on Ozone on Black Friday are selling it for 14-16 thousand.
In my opinion, for 12 thousand this is an excellent laptop, but 20 is already expensive for it.
IRBIS NB264 laptop is suitable for office programs, the Internet, remote work, processing photos in JPG format, study, accounting, equipment management.
