IrisEco

Summary
The irisEco is a entry-level or mid-range all-in-one PC made by iriSoft in 2009. It originally came with Iris OS NEXT pre-installed, because that version of Iris OS also supported the Intel Celeron Tualatin, and then when Iris OS Eco Edition was released, it was pre-installed on 2010 units. The 2010 units were faster because of Iris OS EE's performance tweaks. With Iris OS NEXT or X, it took 1 minute to boot up, with Eco Edition, it took 19 seconds or less. It had a 50 GB hard drive, which is fast with Eco Edition at 7200 RPM. The computer came with enough RAM to run 5 programs at one - ecOffice, ecBrowser (later known as PIXAL Web Browser), Task Manager, Media Player, and Paint. Reviews of the product from 2019 said it "performed better than a HP all-in-one with AMD A4". It's one of iriSoft's flagship all-in-ones that caused a shaky start because of what you will see below. The irisEco includes a FHD 1080p 23" (viewable) display, which can be slightly tilted up or down. It can also be used as a monitor, because it has a HDMI mode button on the back and 1 HDMI port. It included integrated graphics.

History
In 2009, iriSoft revealed the irisEco, named after Iris OS Eco Edition. The original model has a case made of poly-carbonate plastic, a Intel Celeron and a 50 or 160GB hard drive. A upgraded version was released the same year with a Core 2 Duo and 2GB RAM. In January 2011, the 2009 model irisEco was discontinued. The day Intel discontinued the 2009 chips, the 2010 version was discontinued.

In 2011, a new version was released with a Sandy Bridge Core i3. It also came with Windows 7 preinstalled. iriSoft claimed it to be "a all-in-one to play simple games". An Intel Pentium version was also available. The price was then lowered down for the i3 model to just $399 the same year for iriSoft to target it to budget-minded customers, while the Pentium version costed $20 less than the i3 version with the price lowered down. Positive reviews on the 2011 units skyrocketed saying it was a huge improvement from the 2009 model. It was a huge success compared to the 2009 model which iriSoft nicknamed "the stupid".

In 2014, a new version was released with a SSD with higher sizes and a faster memory type named DDR4, and with Windows 8.1 or 7. The new version helped iriSoft capture 30% market share in early 2015.

In 2016, a overhaul to the design was unveiled with the "irisEco" text on the front changed to the iriSoft symbol, a switch designed to cover the camera similar to what HP did and even had a HD webcam. In 2017 it had a AMD processor for the first time, which is a AMD Ryzen 3. It also had a touchscreen for the first time, which is optional.

In 2019, iriSoft tested Iris OS '19 on a black color irisEco with a Core i3 with integrated graphics to see how smooth the OS runs on it.

In May 2020, iriSoft announced if they would change the name of the product to "ecAIO", but it was later cancelled and still referred to "irisEco", so iriSoft made the irisAIO, an irisEco alternative.

Critical reception
When iriSoft released the irisEco, it received a lot of criticism for using a outdated processor, slow on other operating systems, having low disk space for large files, low memory, and even having a low-resolution screen output due to the outdated components, which made people saying the "FHD display" as marketed is a lie. iriSoft responded to this 1 week later and released a version with a Core 2 Duo and 2GB RAM. It was IriSoft's worst product ever until 2011.
