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.

[@DJ_Chameli]

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.

[@georgecy5937]

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]

@@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.

[@PlyrStar93]

@@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.

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.

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.

Was the laptop on the mousepad when you did the gaming tests? It might cause temps to go up compared to the naked desk…

Finally, someone recent and reliable reviewed a Thunderobot laptop

[@CyberRobloxNationYT]

The command center looks exactly like something you would see on gigabyte’s laptops like the A5

[@DragoSmash]

to answer your question, Dawid here in Mexico, the Asus G15 you show costs almost twice as much as the Thunderobot from AliExpress gotta love having a trash tier economy

Last year i paid 900 euros for a Ryzen 7 5800h + 3050 non ti. The pricing of this "not an Alienware" laptop is seriously off, even so I have no doubt they bank on fake branding.

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.

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.

Lol at the speed hacker @8:49. Dude was literally caught in 4k!

Watching this video I had flashback of older videos of laptops not opening with one hand and I was thinking, well why would you want it to open with only one hand. And now that I got a laptop last week and It doesn't open using only one hand and I was like Ohhhh, I get it now

[@DarknoorX]

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.

With that logo, it looks almost like something Mandalorians use for gaming.
