I Bought "Definitely Not An Alienware" Laptop From Aliexpress...

[@saturnotaku]

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.

[@HashbrownBandit]

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.

[@GorujoCY2]

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

[@GamerErman2001]

Yeah I have that software on a Sager laptop. It's a good laptop outside of it being really noisy sometimes.

[@debraj-kayal]

Had it been bought from Clevo, the build quality would have gotten mil standard.

[@MsMarco6]

@@GorujoCY2 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.

[@StayMadNobodycares]

so it's pretty decent then?

[@PlyrStar93]

@@StayMadNobodycares 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.

[@Potato-qh2xl]

@@StayMadNobodycares 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.

[@SilverKnight16]

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.

[@DsgSleazy]

My first pc was a gateway pre-built, didn't think they were still around.

[@ToTheGAMES]

Yeah the chassis is provided by a company called Clevo. They sell them and other companies rebrand it.

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.

[@OldManBadly]

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.

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

An RTX 3050 laptop and i5 11500 can be had for $650. An i7 11800H RTX 3080 laptop costs $1,800 so holy crap is that Thunderobot an amazing deal.

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.

Got a gigabyte A7, this looks like another Clevo shell.

Your specific example costs 1169 euros here in the Netherlands. With today's value, that's about the same number in usd. except I know that for the AliExpress laptop I would have to pay import tax, so that would be an awful deal. AliExpress used to be able to sneak phones and other tech into the country without having to pay taxes, so it'd undercut the local market, but there's a new rule since like 3 years ago and it singlehandedly killed aliexpress for everyone. Because customs has like a 15 dollar charge before the %, meaning that all the 3 dollar crap would become like 18 after customs.

So…. Does “clapping cheeks” mean something different where you’re at, or are you just playing on your gaming laptop while you do so? 😂
