Lanix is a Mexican electronics manufacturing company based in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. It is Mexico's largest domestically owned maker of consumer electronics, making computers and smartphones.
History
In 1995, Lanix released its first computer, named PC 286, which was sold in Mexico and was the first personal computer made in large numbers by a domestic firm that saw widespread sales.
Since 2005, the firm has seen sustained growth. It is the largest Mexican-owned electronics manufacturer and has significant domestic market share. The company also has a presence in Latin American markets, and it is a rival of Brazil's Positivo Informatica for the third-largest share of this region's consumer electronics market. All Lanix products and components are assembled in Mexico and Chile. In March 2011, Lanix began offering a system where buyers can custom build their own computer from the bottom up, choosing different types of chipsets, memory systems and other components from Lanix and other firms. At the 2009 Intel Solutions Summit hosted by the eponymous Intel, Lanix won an award in the "mobile" category.
Products
Computers
Lanix produces a full range of desktop and laptop computers. One such model is the Lanix Titan Magnum Extreme, the most powerful production Windows desktop in the world as of 2010.
Smartphones
