State Corporation Rostec introduced PC prototypes called ELIK based on domestic processors “Elbrus-1C +“. They are made in the form factor of a monoblock or a separate system unit in three versions – desktop, thin desktop and ultra-compact.

Computers work on the basis of domestic editions of Linux: Elbrus Linux, Alt, Astra Linux and Neutrino. As the application software, the packages “MyOffice” and LibreOffice are used.
