MAIBENBEN Laptops from Lazada

[USBThumbDrive]

Also the usb c port is thunderbolt, supports 4k 60hz resolution and pd charging

Take note, its not thunderbolt 3. It just supports display out, PD charging & 5gbps Data transfer

Really not worth anymore? I’ve been comparing the prices and seems like they are pricing very competitively.. considering if I wanna pull the trigger on the Nvidia 150M model or not

you are right. couldnt find in hwinfo despite the tb icon beside the usb c port

I found out the panel is a chimei 1376 and notebook reviews says that the panel is 99% srgb

Battery life is about 8.5h of web browsing

I think the price is still very competitive just that you may not get the same pricing as before comparing to early adopters of Maibenben products. My take is this: if you think the product meets your requirements and the price justifies you to leave your cash with them, go for it and don't look back anymore. Sometimes good deals may just fly past without you knowing it. ^^

Its amazing value that you get a 90+% sRGB panel here while we are complaining about getting some crappie LCD panel from Lenovo.

Was an unexpected surprise. My previous laptop a few years ago was Toshiba Chromebook 2 (which had 98.5% sRGB screen), using a n2840 fanless processor (installed windows 10)

Then upgraded to onda xiaoma 31 (gold), which has not as good screen and fanless n3450. Sold it away at price I bought at after 2 years.

Now this maibenben has a good screen, fanless n4100 processor. 3 generations of using atom processor

Maibenben gave me a $15 discount for their $100 increment.

n4100 is faster than third gen core i3/i5 laptops ppl sell for 300 in carousell

Faster than 3rd gen U chips yes, but not the M chips you find in cheapo X230s

100 points difference is insignificant. 7w vs 25w.

i have x230 too

try playing 4k hevc or vp9 videos

Also it is no longer cheap. i bought mine at lazada for $168-$8dbs-$30 sold away ssd =$130
now can only buy for $230. tn monitor is ****, need to spen $70 for ips upgrade. fhd ips not possible unless you buy $40 adapter.

plus cracked brittle plastic case. need to replace battery with chip for $40. it is not cheap in the end. penny wise pound foolish

I pulled the trigger on the XiaoMai 6A with N4100, MX250 With 8GB ram. Total damage about $615 after the coupon which feels a bit Ex.. hope it arrives fast

I bought the same as you but i chose 16GB Ram with 480GB SSD. Arrived in 9days. So far so good.

Do share how it is when you get it then. I agree it is a little expensive for the class of CPU, and I hope they implement a decent cooling solution for the MX250.

ips is lg technology. ads is similar used by non lg companies. if youre lucky you might get a high srgb monitor

n4100 is a weak 7w processor, unlike 15w u series. Need to manage expectation.

windows 10 is really resource heavy with windows updates and defender running all the time. to make it bearable and achieve long battery life you must make driver backup with doubledriver and reinstal windows pro or enterprise. this givws you option to pause windows updates (run manually) and disable windows defender.

Many models OOS

Why not Windows 10 LTSC?

I'm not buying any N4100 laptop with price creeping into the S$600 range

Its worth if it is below 400., assuming no dedicated graphic card.
