At the beginning of 2022, Promobit employees officially announced the start of production of a Russian laptop based on the Baikal-M processor, which received the sonorous name Bitblaze Titan BM15 and was supposed to be released in a batch of 1000 copies. A little later, in June of the same year, the manufacturer opened a registration form that allowed pre-ordering of this device, which was scheduled for mass production in the fourth quarter of 2022. True, now it turned out that this year it will no longer be possible to purchase this laptop, since the entire batch of the device is sold out by pre-order.
The information publication IXBT, citing its sources, reports that the commercial director of the Promobit company, Yana Brysh, told media representatives that the demand for a new Russian laptop significantly exceeded supply. Accordingly, the devices have not yet been dismantled at the stage of pre-ordering and the entire batch will be sent to customers, while the gadget will not be available for free sale in the usual sense this year.
“Production has been launched, we order components in other cities and from production partners in Russia, our basis is the development and final assembly of products. From the very first announcement, the demand is huge, it exceeds our capabilities. A series of notebooks is currently in production, but it has already been pre-ordered by the enterprise, so we need to meet the delivery deadlines. On this, so to say, experimental series, we need to debug all processes for further scaling, ”added Yana Brysh.
At the same time, it is worth noting that there is still no information about the appearance of a laptop on free sale – on the official website, when placing a pre-order, it is necessary to indicate the name of the company for which the device is ordered, so that a regular user cannot buy it yet. And given that the corporate sector disassembles the batch even before it was produced, it is most likely not worth waiting for the Bitblaze Titan BM15 to appear on store shelves in the near future. However, in the future, production can be expanded by increasing the number of issued copies.
It is worth recalling that the Bitblaze Titan BM15 is built on the basis of an 8-core Baikal-M processor with integrated graphics, 16 GB of RAM and 256/512 GB of internal memory on a solid state drive. For this version in an aluminum case, the manufacturer asks for 100-120 thousand rubles, while the version in a titanium case costs 200 thousand rubles.
