Irbis TW30 Overview: Windows 10 Transformer Tablet with Intel® Atom ™ Processor
In this review, I will briefly talk about the Irbis TW30 transformer tablet - a 10.1-inch model with a “fastened" keyboard in the kit and the Windows 10 operating system. The model is based on, perhaps, the only current solution for devices of this class - Intel® Atom ™ Processor Z3735F. In general, for 11,990 rubles we get an almost full-fledged PC for solving any problems (except for gaming). However, let's see what Irbis TW30 is in practice.
The box contains a power adapter, a USB-microUSB cable, a warranty card, instructions and, most importantly, a removable keyboard with a cover function.
The latter, in my opinion, is especially important for the Windows tablet, which is likely to be used for work. When unfolded, connecting the keyboard to the Irbis TW30 results in a very stable design. The tablet is installed on the keyboard, and for reliability, there is a stand that extends from the back. Unfortunately, there is no angle adjustment - the developers offer only one option. At the same time, the keyboard turned out to be very convenient, the keys are pressed easily and have a clear course. The layout, of course, is imperfect, but for a compact "laptop" will do.
Most Windows tablet computers look strict - again, do not forget that these devices are not only for entertainment, but (most often) for solving work tasks. Irbis TW30 was no exception to the rules in the field of design - it has a rather simple black case, which has a strict design. The back wall is matte and ribbed, which provides a reliable grip of the device - it does not slip.
The following elements are located on the left side of the case: a USB port, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a MicroHDMI connector, a MicroUSB port and a charger hole. The microSD card slot is located here, but, unlike other connectors, it has a plastic cover.
On top of the case are the volume control keys, as well as a power and lock button. At the bottom, you can find the contacts for connecting the keyboard and clips so that the tablet is clearly fixed on the stand.
Display Irbis TW30 has a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels. The matrix is made using IPS technology, which provides natural color reproduction and wide viewing angles. In particular, when tilting the tablet in space, practically no distortion of the picture is observed.
The main task of such Windows tablets is to work with office documents, surfing the Internet, watching videos and playing simple mobile games. Irbis TW30 copes with all this thanks to the tandem of the reasonably powerful 4-core Intel® Atom ™ Z3735F and the Windows 10 operating system. For the sake of order, we present the data from benchmarks and note that 3D games of Asphalt 8 level from the Windows store go to Irbis TW30 without problems . At the same time, the tablet does not heat up and runs silently - the Atom ™ Z3735F turned out to be “cold” and does not require active cooling, which was the same with Windows tablets of previous years.
Of course, I would like to see 2 GB of RAM in Irbis TW30, but for these tasks, frankly, 1 GB is enough.
As for battery life, the battery with a capacity of 7,000 mAh is enough for about 7 hours of operation with maximum screen brightness in the "Browser + Word" mode.
You can’t say much about it - Windows 10 and Windows.
Is it worth noting a set of materials for students.
In general, it’s quite a worthy option to buy both a tablet and a miniature laptop right away. Irbis TW30 is distinguished by a quick iron, a good screen and a very comfortable keyboard. Yes, cameras with a resolution of 2 megapixels each shoot very so-so, but this is the Achilles heel of almost any tablet computer - and even a very expensive one. Meanwhile, the Irbis TW30 belongs precisely to the budget class: it is estimated at 11,990 rubles.
