It's here!

Feels cheap but for $205, it's value for money!

Thanks for sharing this deal.

Edit: The default wifi card is 802.11AC. What is the cheapest way to get it to AX? buy an external WIFI USB?
hey guys do you all notice that the metal lid seems to have electric discharge (like vibration) when you touch it when it is connected to power or hdmi cables?

Is the problem with a particular power socket i.e. no such issue when connected to other power sockets in the house?

I tried on other sockets and same issue. In fact, just connecting HDMI cable without laptop power supply also got the electric discharge.

Electric short on the device, I think. If under warranty, should get it checked out.

Most of the time it's your power socket.

If running on Battery only with nothing else connected also have means the wiring inside got problem.
Otherwise somewhere must be 3 pin with Earth connected to Adapter without Ground Pin.

For MacBooks, don't use the "short" plug, but rather the long wire.

The plug (that goes direct to the power brick) is not grounded.

if you search evoo gtx in lazada, there is an intel gaming laptop selling for 788-$25 (year end voucher)=$763 only

813-OMsJbjL.jpg



laptop has rgb keyboard and extra nvme and sata slot.

laptop runs hot while gaming, but so does lenovo legion 5. Can be alleviated by changing advanced power options so the cpu runs at 95%, or add a registry key to limit max frequency, and buy a $10 laptop cooling pad.

the 48Wh battery isnt meant for gaming, only last 1h. but if you dont game while on battery, the gpu can be off in advanced power options so it can have longer battery life

Use External GPU connect with M.2 if you want gaming.
