True. But warranty is going to be a big big issue.. Shipping is going to cost a bomb.

Just purchased my budget gaming laptop ASUS TUF FX505DT, AMD Ryzen 5 3550H, Nvidia GTX 1650, 8GB Ram, 256GB SSD and 120Hz 15.6" Screen comes at US$649.99. Total US$719.20 with import fees and duties. This is equivalent to SGD 1,050/- approx. Can't get same specs with this price in SG.

That's a good buy.

I have a Chinese laptop with 4K display powered by Intel's most powerful Atom Soc (an Apollo Lake x7-E3950) that have been in use for 9 months and this thing zips by for all daily tasks. Ships with 8GB soldered memory and two M.2 SSD bays which I am currently using in RAID1. Got it at about US$500.

Keyboard and trackpad is awesome, and the all-metal body is of good build quality. Keyboard is also backlit.

Running on my own Linux From Scratch built over a Debian 10 base.

At this price for the screen, metal chassis and amazing keyboard, I don't care one bit about warranty. If it croaks, I'll just get an identical unit and switch the SSDs over.

Warranty is overrated nowadays.

I don't deny warranty is somewhat overrated. But I feel the fact that the Chinese manufacturers are trying to make electronic devices like they are disposable with the cheap price is quite concerning. As it stands, there are a lot of electronic waste nowadays. Unlike in the past, we try to ensure the device lasts as long as possible, but now because it is so cheap (and cheaply produced), its changed people's mindset.
