Key takeaways

Lanix belongs to computer science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Lanix to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Lanix from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Lanix Internacional, S.A. de C.V. is a multinational computer and mobile phone manufacturer company based in Hermosillo, Mexico. Lanix primarily markets and sells its products in Mexico and the Latin American export market.

History Lanix was founded in Hermosillo, Mexico in 1990, and released its first computer, the PC 286 the same year. Throughout the 1990s Lanix expanded into the development and production of more sophisticated electronics components such as optical drives, servers, memory drives and flash memory. In 2002 Lanix opened its first factory outside of Mexico in Santiago, Chile to cater to the South American market. By 2006 Lanix had gained a market share of 5% of Mexico's electronics market and began diversifying its product line to include LCD televisions and monitors and in 2007 began manufacturing mobile phones. Currently Lanix offers products in the consumer, professional and government markets throughout Latin America. In 2010 Lanix announced an ambitious plan to gain market share in the Latin American computer market and expanded operations to include every country in Latin America Lanix has production facilities at its original headquarters in Hermosillo, Mexico, and international facilities in Santiago, Chile, and Bogotá, Colombia. At the 2009 Intel Solutions Summit hosted by Intel, Lanix won an award in the "mobile solution" category. In March 2011, Lanix began offering a system where buyers can custom build their own computer, choosing different types of chipsets, memory, and other components. In 2012 Lanix expanded its product portfolio by integrating its first Smartphone, Ilium S100, and positioned itself as one of the bestselling brands in the Mexican market. In 2015 announces the first smartphone with Windows Phone of the company. In June 2017 Lanix image is renewed by updating its logo, launching new high-end smartphones, and updating its webpage.

Products As of 2010, Lanix manufactures desktops, laptops, tablets, servers, netbooks, monitors, optical disc drives, smartphones flash memory and random-access memory. As of 2010, it made one of the most powerful production Windows desktops in the world, the Lanix Titan Magnum Extreme.

Smartphones and tablet computers In 2007, Lanix announced a mobile division specializing in developing smartphones and tablets. In 2010, it showed a smartphone named the Illium running the Android operating system. Lanix smartphones are offered by Telcel, a subsidiary of América Móvil. In 2010, Lanix unveiled a tablet computer named the W10 running Windows 7. An Android version will be available through Telcel. In 2017, Lanix announces its new portfolio of innovative smartphones with competitive features in the current market.

Mexican government contracts Lanix has won several major contracts to provide electronics to government entities in Mexico which has been a key part of the company's success including a contract from the Mexican Secretariat of Public Education to supply 16,000 classrooms across Mexico with computers.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lanix

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lanix claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Lanix before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Lanix ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Lanix

In research: Lanix appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Lanix in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Lanix is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Computer companies of Mexico, Computer hardware companies, Computer systems companies, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lanix outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
