I bought a gaming laptop from Aliexpress that looked suspiciously like an Alienware laptop.

The control center is provided by Clevo, the company that manufactured the chassis. Thunderobot just puts their own branding on it. You can buy the same model just with slightly different exterior treatments from a variety of sellers all over the world.
As soon as he popped the back panel off, it immediately reminded me of my old Sager gaming laptop that also uses a Clevo chassis.
That's interesting because the software control center very oddly looks like the one I saw for PCSpecialist Laptops, I guess Clevo is an OEM for different Companies making laptops huh
Yeah I have that software on a Sager laptop. It's a good laptop outside of it being really noisy sometimes.
Had it been bought from Clevo, the build quality would have gotten mil standard.
@@georgecy5937 yeah I know for a fact that PCSpecialist uses both clevo and tongfang chassis hence why they have a popular 3080 model that's literally identical to MEDION's.
I considered buying the MEDION seeing the price but after learning that the chassis can reach 55 degrees in spots and it sounds like an aircraft engine I went with a 3070 legion 7 lol. i'll happily lose 10% performance if it means avoiding 1st degree burns everytime I boot up cyberpunk.
I love buying SSD's from SSD. Best SSD in the SSD range of SSD's

Looks and sounds like my 2016 entry level MSI gaming laptop. I too had to open 19 screws to install a SSD and a stick of ram
Can confirm this applies to a 2022 MSI laptop as well. Similar temps too.
@@skupipup Ah, this gives me comfort. In this ever moving world, some things stay the same 😂.
Alienware m15 swapping the fans😢
5:44 The SSD has a branding of Solid State Storage Technology Corporation (SSSTC) which is a subsidiary of Kioxia Corporation. The UK and EU contacts also show Kioxia in there.
so it's pretty decent then?
@@IvanOoze1990 It simply means the SSD comes from a major OEM not an unnamed brand. Being from a particular brand isn't an indicator of quality or performance, in fact any major OEM can produce both S-tier and crap tier drives (as we see from WD Green SSD and Crucial BX500, etc.). I also deal with OEM desktops and laptops fairly often (mostly Dell, occasionally HP) and see they ship with Samsung/WD/Kioxia OEM SSD models as well as some lesser known SSD companies but are still subsidiary of the larger OEMs. Most of the time I would swap them out for an after-market drive with larger capacity and better performance.
@@IvanOoze1990 hey man guess you never use one of their product didn't you? Compare to WD Samsung or micron(even the new Chinese independent R&D brand Zhitai), Toshiba, or new Kioxia, is the worst in any other different levels of product, it's not stable, it's slow compare to same price's product, I had a Toshiba rc500(kioxia rebranded to rc10) read 8.2tb write 1.8tb and guess what, health percentage drops to 81%, speed is really slow, avg. r&w is around 1700m/s and i never saw any other brand's ssd behave like this, even before this, my old Toshiba TR200 won't recognize, my kioxia usb drive won't recognize and i lost all my data, my two Toshiba hdd had drive failure for no reason at all(other WD drive is all good) i promise i will never use any Japanese storage product ever again.
@@Potato-qh2xl Toshiba is probably Chinese-owned at this point lol
@@Potato-qh2xl funny how toshiba is the one with hitachi's hard drive manufacturing setup and hitachi died after being rebranded wd for years. and honesty you've got 1 dead toshiba hdd, I've got a nice pile of 6 dead wds,=.
I'd love to see a performance per dollar comparison of all the laptops and prebuilts that Dawid has tested.

@@mountainclimbr Pretty sure both is more than fine for him...
@@mountainclimbr wrong
its DAWID not david you can see on his intro
@@mountainclimbr 🤡🤡🤡 check the channel name
Well, I remember this brand. We call it 地球人 (human on earth), and I think it has some history with Alienware (which we call it 外星人-alien in Chinese), that is, its mother company used to produce Alienware laptop before Dell purchased the latter.
yeah Clevo (the oem) used to make Alienware laptops before Dell bought over Alienware ..
@@soniccdx That would explain why Clevo laptops can game. They made laptops for UK company Zoostorm.
thanks tommy, strange how fact doesnt create a conversation. uou hsd 2 repies on the best post but some other less deserving posts get liked for a fact that they make money on a contagian of bs
Until 2006, Clevo also produced for Alienware, which was moved to Quanta after Dell's takeover.
Essentially it's the actual manufacturer before some brand slap their logo on it
The SSSTC ssd is actually made by Kioxia (used to be Toshiba), so it's pretty high quality. It even says Kioxia on the label.
Toshiba is a zombie actually
@@gwyn676
No wonder why the commercial for one of their Satellite laptops features zombies.
One of the things i learned living in Asia is that they are generally quite proud of their laptops, and price them accordingly. in the US and Canada, laptops seem to be much more like "well, I guess you can't handle a desktop" where as in Asia, it's sort of a lifestyle choice. So they tend to be very, very overpriced.
Thats a Clevo Chassis they do some pretty wild laptops, their MXM laptops would be an awesome video as they have socketed GPU and CPU pretty much everything is upgradeable running a i7 8700k and an RTX 2070 in mine! would be awesome to see you cover one of those!!!
the downside to that config though is the power consumption depending on which model .. the one i have needs 2 power bricks to charge it ... 😅
Clevo is the biggest laptop company in the world. They make laptops for everybody. There's a good chance you had one or have one now 😁
they were almost an inch closer to name it as "Mandalorian" then thought "nah it would be too blatant" lmao
Literally my first thought! 😆
The pricing sucks, but why is it that even some of the sketchiest gaming laptops are still miles better than comporable desktop gaming pre-builts? Thanks as always for the great content Dawid!
Haha!! It’s weird isn’t it. 😂
Perhaps it’s a case of you get what you pay for and it’s the makers who decide what you should get for a particular price. Dunno, I’m as lost as you are mate.
It honestly depends on the brand you buy from, most parents buy gaming desktops on a whim from vendors like Ibuypower or some other random brand that sells a large bulk of them at bestbuy.
I'm pretty sure that chassis design is an OEM that gets sold to a number of different companies. It looks remarkably similar to both the Gateway and Evoo laptops I purchased over the past six months, just with potentially better moulding, and a metal top-plate. I definitely say it isn't worth the asking price, though. Maybe someone can find a better deal than that, but definitely not worth that price.
My first pc was a gateway pre-built, didn't think they were still around.
Yeah the chassis is provided by a company called Clevo. They sell them and other companies rebrand it.
Gateway and Evoo are Tongfang-based, like Eluktronics. This is apparently Clevo. Tongfang is mainland China, Clevo is Taiwan.
I wouldn't be surprised if they cross paths, however.
@@DsgSleazy Gateway are rebranded Evoo laptops that are only sold at Walmart. They licensed the name from Acer.
6:42 - That's Clevo's standard Control Center. I got a Maibeben Heimai 7 with the same thing. The keyboard is also the same.
judging by the control center software , pretty sure its a oem laptop by clevo ..
Yes , same OEM of gigabyte, xmg, sager, hasee, machinike etc etc.
Here in the Philippines, Thuderobot is an unknown brand when it comes to laptops but you can get the i7 12700h + rtx 3050 ti model for around Php 62,000 around 1450 CAD inclusive of tax, and for a laptop its price is very much competitive for its specs compared to a more known brand
Hey, at least it has all the ventilation possible in an air cooled lap top. It did pretty well as far as I see it. Just grab some Bluetooth headphones and I guess it wouldn't hurt to add a laptop cooler pad as well.
Arrive with pre-installed chinesse back door
Sounds French
England, America does it too. But complain when other countries do spy.
You really think china gives a f about you? They are more concerned about keeping their own people in check
@@CaveyMoth ikr
@@allanm8555 Thing is a bunch of people seem to think that if you live on the western world you'd rather get spied on by the western world than some outsiders. I don't 100% agree with everything the chinese higher-ups do, but the NSA isn't exactly innocent either.
Mum I want an alienware laptop
Mum: We have alienware at home
Alienware at home:
@Kyoshi 1410 dawid never said it was bad, Just a few problems like The build quality is not up to what he paid and speakers also not as good for the price so yeah
I love how he said he got knifed at 8:46 and the guy who knifed him cheated so hard and ran 100mp/h 😂
Dude just teleported behind Dawid and did the deed...lol
Dawid, thank you for not being the other TH-cam channels. You will never hear Steeeeeve or Lienuts drop a hot line like "larping as a jet engine" in their vids, and that's why I appreciate you.
Linus has some pretty great lines at times. Not with the frequency that Dawid does, but I wouldn't have been that surprised to hear him say that.
@@Galiant2010 so far my favorite line is 'trust me bro'
real funny
The only thing Linus drops is computer parts
@@Galiant2010 difference is, someone would have written it for Lienuts.
@@imsmart1656 hey, he drops other electronics too!
This reminds me of an Overpowered 15+ laptop that was Wal-Mart's house brand I bought a few years ago. It was a rebranded TongFang chassis.
Yup. Same chassis for my Gateway Creator and my brothers Evoo gaming laptop. We put them side by side and they're nearly identical
That price actually isn't so far off for buying a gaming laptop that's worse/the same (in terms of specs) for south Africa
The guy with the katana at 8:47 was just teleporting around the map killing people. Certified BFV moment.
I bought an HP omen last Christmas for myself for $1600, it has an i7 11700h and a 3070, runs everything I need it to, but I have to use it with an external keyboard because the default keyboards' 'S' key stopped working shortly after I got it for no reason. No greasy gamer moments, no water spills, nothing. Not happy about that considering the price I paid.
RMA it ! Or does it not have a valid warranty?
@@ron200088 The only warranty I had was the 30 day one which I couldn't do much about because I got it out of town and didn't have one of those stores near where I lived.
And they didn't take it back for repairs?
@@SomeSteven I see. Well, that’s highly unfortunate, especially at that price. Hope it will be an easy and cheap fix, if you decide to service/repair it.
I got it when I was out of town, basically by the time I noticed it was too late lmao
8:50 lol the blatant (Katana using) cheater in bf5 though 😂
this was interesting i was impressed by the rtx 3050m for a 4gb card its great
Xotic PC sells a nearly identical Sager laptop (made by Clevo) for about $300 US cheaper. Ali Express has some OK deals (if you're willing to wait on international shipping). This Thunderobot wasn't one of them.
From the looks of it, the chassis is a barebone Clevo V155PNJQ. The same laptop is sold in my country branded as a DreamMachines 12th Gen RG3050-15EU36. It's specs can be customized, it sells between a minimum of $1221 to a maximum of $1714 USD, without OS (add $190 for Win 11 Pro).
$190 for window 11.. LoL!
@@scality4309 Yep, no matter which version of Win you buy, 10/11/Enterprise, etc or Pro/Home, retailers always sell the OEM version, they are obligated by the law. Of course, most people buy digital keys for way more cheaper from perfectly legal market places on the Internet.
I'm stunned that DreamMachines still exist
Be Quiet came out with an all black label fan!?!?! IT’S A MIRACLE! Might be time to get some 😃
didn't be quiet always had Black fans? wdym bro?
(oh my bad the label, hmm I see, never really took attention to the label)
@@georgecy5937 As far as I have seen the label itself has been orange. I’m not a fan (lol) of their name “be quiet!”, I think it’s corny and doesn’t present well. So, having it all black is as good as I think it’s going to get. I would prefer to not have the label at all, but it’s their brand, so I can’t blame them.
Templarware
I wonder if maybe replacing the the thermal paste would help the temps. I really don't expect them to use the good stuff.
Thank you for reviewing this
I saw it on JingDong and was curious but found little to no reviews abt it
Love ur content dawid keep it up
Just bought two Alienware ......just over 7 grand - absolutely nuts.
lmao u wasted ur money
Hope your happy with them,,that's all that matters.
But you should have got a gaming laptop from Lenovo,like the new 7i.
it's nuts to buy alienware nowdays. very overpriced, badly designed. just meh.
Shitty case full of overpriced, nerfed components
@@Pelliq_E Maybe, but my kids dont think so. So far, they're working very well.
I got a Gigabyte G5-KD with an i5-11400H and an RTX 3060 (105W) for about 900€ in Germany. It performs pretty well, is also very loud and has the same control center, which is just the standard software from the manufacturer „Clevo“. A lot of brands just use Clevo as a supplier and slap their branding on it.
All in all a pretty good deal for the performance you get, I mainly use it for LAN parties or for controller gaming on the TV in the living room. At the time, it was the only reasonable option under 1000€ with an RTX 3060 (105W). All the other cheap gaming laptops were either much more expensive or just had a loser 3050.
So it's a Clevo? I'd recommend getting directly from them as you'll get a much better choice of CPU, GPU, RAM, storage and display customization.
Had one that looks about the same quality. It looks plasticky, but is actually built better than a lot of other laptops I've owned (looking at you Dell), especially at the hinges. Metal carries almost the entirety of the weight, without significant metal to plastic connections and the laptop still works after 5 years of college use.
With ultrathin laptops, ThrottleStop is your best friend. You can drop the power intake and those fans will stay pretty quiet. It will also prevent thermal throttling.
The best feature however, is axed by Intel on all new bioses, namely undervolting. Plundervolt exploit brought that down. Im running an older bios just to be able to undervolt my 7700HQ.
I am not sure, but thunderobot currently might be under haier, at least in some countries. Also, their prebuilds seem well configured but I personally have no experience with them. Would love to see you test some of them
Yeah, this model laptop is way more expensive than the local NZ market. However, that higher model laptop with a RTX 3080 in it on AliExpress is the same or sometimes cheaper than comparable models in NZ
I love the time you must take to come up with the subtle humor and jokes. They make they videos stand above all else for me Dawid, thank you!
Surprised you had to pay so much when it's being sold here in the Philippines for around 900-1000 USD (at least for your config). There's a version of that (same chassis) with a RTX 3060 sold for around 1200-1400 USD as well.
ive found that using gaming laptops on mousepads actually makes the laptop suffoacte a bit and need to spin faster. maybe next laptop review you can try using a smaller mouse pad to put the laptop on a solid surface like your table.
that... looks suspiciously similar to my acer predator helios 300. it's identical inside. even the terrible speakers check. looks cheaper outside though.
anway, if it's anything like my laptop, the way to open it is to put it in your lap or a table in front of you upside down with the vents facing back (so, the right orientation for use, just upside down), grab the vents with your fingers while putting a little pressure on the middle of the shell as if you're lightly bending it. the whole cover will come out gracefully in one piece, no prying needed.
Bestbuy has an MSI one right now with an i5-12450H and a 3050 but only 8gb ram, it's only $750. 144hz 15.6 inch 1080p screen also
6:08 interesting to see that its not like a typical modern laptop cooling solution where the heat pipes and such are all tied together. Here we see they Just barely come into contact. This will aide in cooling quite a bit.
Hi from the UK. I recently bought an Acer Predator Helios 300 with a 12700h, 3070 Ti (150W), 1TB SSD, 144Hz 1440p 17.3" display and 16GB of DDR5 for £1,489. It was open box and included an eBay coupon, but seems like a great deal compared to this! Currently selling from the same retailer's website for £1,899 brand new. Since our currency has recently become worthless, that equates to approximately $2,105 USD for it brand new, or $1,650 USD for the open box one I purchased (with a full warranty).
That was indeed a great deal. In my country, I live in the EU, for such specs you pay above 2100 euro. Probably even if on sale won’t go below 2000 euro, at those specs, at least for the time being.
Don't feel bad the Euro is still tanking far below the usd
I have an acer nitro 5 laptop with the same specs (i7-12700h, rtx3050 ti). But the differences are that it came with 16 gb ddr 5 ram and a 2k 144 hertz screen. And it only costed around $1450 cad
I have an older version of this laptop with an i7-10870h rtx 3060 16gb ram 1tb ssd
I bought it from Banggood in March of 2021 for about 900 $ at that time it was relatively good deal.Though I rarely ever game on it. It's mostly being used for coding and photo/video editing.
Those be quiet commercial sound effects shook my room 😂 Some proper lows in there!
So much opportunity here to have paired this with the rgb laptop cooler from a good few months ago.
In late February 2022, I picked up a MSI - GF65 15.6" 144hz Gaming Laptop - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 - 512GB SSD - Black for only $800 USD at Best Buy. I immediately swapped out the ram for 32gb and threw in an extra 1TB ssd. I've had minimal issues with it besides battery due to always playing it plugged in.
Here in france, prices seem to be all over the place for gaming oriented laptops... A quick amazon search did yield a dell G15 with a 120Hz display and an RTX 3050, for 850€, but with a ryzen 5 5600H (pretty good, I`d say)...
The issue is that for the price it only comes with 8gbram and a 256gb SSD, so ram and storage upgrades would be a must...
The reason why I say that prices are all over the place is that not too long ago I saw other laptops with an RTX 3050 for well over a grand, with some being listed for close to 2x what the dell I mentioned costs...
Similarly, last year I bought an acer nitro 5 with an i5 10400h and gtx 1650ti for 679€ (on sale, I think it was), with every other laptop I found with a similar cpu and the same gpu being atleast 900€-1000€, a 1660ti laptop being in the 1200€ range, and it being basicly impossible to get an RTX for less than about 1500€... I added a 2nd stick of 8gb ram and 1tb samsung ssd to complement the stock 8gb ram/ 512gb ssd (and 1tb hdd I had laying around and added in for mass storage), and ended up with something I`m pretty happy with, for about 820€ all in
we got thunderobot officially sold in malaysia. they were actually way cheaper than similarly spec'd laptop. well at least before the pandemic
I have this _exact_ chassis on my desk right now, it's my work laptop. Those little plastic bits on the back corners where the LCD meets the chassis? They snap off lol. Both my boss and my laptop have had that happen! Mine has a 11000 series i7 and a 2060 in it, as mine is a couple years old. Mine is a "Metabox" -- but they're all just Clevo machines re-branded lol. And yes it is INCREDIBLY loud.
Beware control center with break eventually and any rgb or fan control goes out the window. Had control center 2.0 on a digital storm laptop which was also a clevo laptop and they don’t even update there software.
It's def a Clevo computer. Since the software "Control Center" is an app you download from the Microsoft Store. That's why it's more expensive an OEM-ware because you can UPGRADE most Clevo and Tongfang (competitor) computers with a better CPU and even GPU in some models.
Dawid, can you do a review on the HP Victus prebuilt or Laptop. Keep up the good work!
That laptops keyboard looks identical to the keyboard on my Gigabyte G5-KD gaming laptop along with having the same "control center" software aswell
You do cool stuff all the time and just go for it man! Video suggestion. Off grid lowest wattage eSports gaming PC you can build. I live in the woods and use solar power. Solar solutions are becoming a modern norm and I think you could help a ton of people. Much love. ❤️🐨❤️
Great video, but I much prefer to see real world tests/ benchmarks and what bloatware comes on the OS before looking at the cooling system
Here in the UK from Amazon for £1199.99 can get this:
ASUS TUF A17 FA707RR 17.3" 144Hz Gaming Laptop (AMD Ryzen 7-6800H, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Windows 11).
ASUS website has the 3070 spec as 1460MHz* at 140W (1410MHz Boost Clock+50MHz OC, 115W+25W Dynamic Boost)
This is a Clevo. I have one from another brand and the chassis，fan noise, cpu temps and control center software is identical. Althought mine has a 3060 and is much cheaper here in Malaysia. And yeah, the speakers are bad.
Is it worth changing to the coldest paste you can buy on the CPU ect just to run it at coolest and stop and wear or throttling? You cant trust they put good paste on it and maybe put you own ram in so it can be as good as it can be..
The price on aliexpress is obviously higher when buying offshore, i mean not in China. Its quite tricky that the original price is around 1600 so I am not sure if they include the the shipping in that.
Over all, cause I lived in China and I do know the price for the market. This brand thunderbolt, is not the first tier laptop company, they more like second or the third, means their after sale service is not acceptable. But to the quality, this is the one you want to play less than alienware but you want something simular.
The taxes for High performance PCs and laptops from where I live is pretty high.
So if I could order one of these it would be cool.
Also could you test EFT on laptops since you play it, if you have the time to spare. Because it's a very demanding game.
You should do a comparison across all the rebranded laptops like this. Wootware here in South Africa (which you may know of), has their own Wootbooks
Still better than average price in Saudi.
We still have gen 11 and 10 for that price.
I was able to get my hand on one of the few units (from what I can tell, only a handful) middle Eastern official TUF gaming F15 2022 for 2090 Canadian on sale.
It's built "OK", heats A LOT but seems to perform very well.
Can you review the gigabyte 5 (G5) because it same like Thunderbolt😑. I have one in my hand (G5) . When you open the app where can do control the fan it is look sama as gigabyte. Can you explain why it same. I want to know more.
Actually I recently just got an Alienware x15 r2 and even though it was a dell product it didn’t come pre-loaded with much beyond windows 11 pro and a 1 year subscription from Office 365. I was pleasantly surprised I didn’t have to spend 2 days removing bloatware.
You Have to try a full on Kawai pc build from aliexpress even corsair makes kawai ram and you can find pretty much anything amazing to make an amazing setup.
interesting. coming from SEA, Thunderobot actually has a local online store available. they don't have THIS particular model, what's available is one with a 3060 in it. costs 1100 USD (tax included). pretty fair, IMO.
Good review, I like the combination of information and humor. As for the laptop, considering my one and likely only experience with Alienware laptops I think I'd rather have that one than another Alianware - but I'd much, much, rather have something better than either of those. 😉 (My laptop experience hasn't been horrible but it has been very lackluster considering the price).
I bought my laptop right as the new gen was coming out so dell discounted it and its as powerful as the new stuff just cost less which is nice, ive been using it daily for 1 year now with no issues and will replace it when it drops dead.
G15 5510 I think it is? cant remember the model number actually.
@3:40, i did this with my ThinkPad T530 and was genuinely surprised by the thump and the table shake.
Looks like a copy of the Arorus 5 KB. It has the exact same keyboard and the internals are extremely similar. It also used the same performance software thing too.
I have the Eluktronics Prometheus laptop and its a fantastic laptop, they have great support and are my go to for buying gaming laptops for the the past few ones I have purchased.
I would love to see *Be Quiet* start making laptop fans for a selected gaming laptops which you can upgrade to for a quieter gaming experience.
i wanna ask something why are your videos not 16:9 i get black bars when im in full screan.... i see this a lot on most of the youtubers that i follow non use the full screan at 1080x1920
When you said homework at the start of the video it reminded me of some homework that I had to do before 8pm tonight that made up a decent bit of my grade, and might ultimately cause me to fail the course had I not completed it. Thanks to Dawid, I did my homework. If you guys need to get your homework done, watch Dawid Does Tech Stuff.
Pricing in the Philippines for that same model goes for around 1100USD so I think it makes sense considering that any other 12700h laptops here cost upwards of 16000USD
That dead pixel on the screen was bugging me hard. Surprised you didn't bring it up, unless you somehow did not notice lol
North America, and granted I got it from a reseller, but just bought a new in box Aorus 15P XD with Intel 11800 and rtx 3070, quad channel memory capability with 16 gb ram, and 1 TB of memory with a second PCie slot for $1100.
Was the laptop on the mousepad when you did the gaming tests? It might cause temps to go up compared to the naked desk…
This reminds me a lot of Pre-Dell Alienware when AW used generic Chinese made gaming laptops but with custom logos and text for the branding. They have came a long way since then
That one screw hiding behind the warranty sticker on the bottom brings me wayyyyyyyy back. Had an HP that did this.
Its a Clevo laptop. Same as what "customisable laptop" sites use. Lile PC Specialist in the UK
@Dawid Does Tech Stuff -
The Australia style plug ( 3 flat blades) is suspicious in shape , the real plug has a circular collar ... maybe it´s normal for the Chinese variant , China uses Australia type plugs domestically , bzt with Earth on top instad of bottom
The fan part is that bf5 is considered demanding where i was running it on high 1080p on a Ryzen 7 5700g without a gpu
That solid state drive is actually made by KIOXIA. They make really good quality storage drives usually just for servers though
For 1450 aud or 950 usd in Australia i just picked up an asus tuf dash 15.6 inch
Its got an i5 12450h and rtx 3050
Only drawback was single channel ddr5 16gb but managed to get another stick used pretty good price
I think the 12450h is a good laptop cpu as has good single thread performance but thermally its lot easy to handle so fan noise is good
Has 4p cores and 4 e cores
Good unit 👍
Replaces a dell g15 with a ryzen 5 and rtx 3050 that sounds like a rocket ship 🚀
Honestly, if you look on Newegg for a 12700H and RTX 3050 laptop, the cheapest one is about $1239USD (which is around $1700CAD) which, while cheaper than the featured laptop from Thunder Robot, it's not by much.
In Philippines this laptop is sell around 800 dollars . That's a pretty good deal for the price .The brand is machinike . Not a bad brand at all .they have bigger laptop around 1800 dollars with i9 12 series and 3070 at 150 w .
2:00 That Australian power plug is going to be super useful in Canadia
I have a 3ds (scan branded) laptop that is a clevo pc70dr rebadged. Similar to this but has better heatsink and more pipes with a 3070 in it. The build quality is defo disappointing, however it was £1695 at the time when all others lappys with a 3070 in them were 1k more expensive. Just have to repaste the gpu and keep the fans clean. The kb gets super hot in gaming though. I wouldn't buy another though it is fit for purpose.
There's an "oficial" seller here in Mexico for those laptops and those can be like 1,000 usd cheaper that a renown brand. also the renown brand laptops are almost always old models.
I bought this Barebone from XMG (German OEM) with ryzen 5600 and a rtx 3060 for 900€ including 19% VAT from nbb(Like newegg). Looks nearly the Same from the outside, but a Lot different looking at the cooling. Mine is also a Lot quiter if i don t use the highest Power Mode.
that's because it's a ryzen machine. ryzen is miles better than intel. dumb 12 series intel needs 140w to do what a ryzen 3 does at 65w
I just looked, the i5 version with the 3050 is on sale for under $1,000 and it is made in Russia. Dosent seem like such a bad deal. My GF bought an HP laptop with a 10th gen i5 and a GTX 1660ti for $1,200, but that was right as the great GPU crunch of 2021 was coming to an end. Its not a bad laptop, has a mechanical keyboard, 144hz display and 16gb of RAM. I use it with an external keyboard and monitor when i am gaming at her place. This looks nicer than that, but Im not sure I would trust the manufacturer, im sure trying to get warranty service for that laptop is a nightmare.
Weird price for sure on this model
When i checked the older version with an 11700h it was around 900 dollars
The promotion at the beginning was like a movie staring about fans like if you don't mind, can you make a narrative movie about fans😂😂😂, ( really enjoyed the promo and your video)
how do i display gpu power usage in watts instead of % in afterburner?
