fucking chinks

@toaster This has been an issue in China for ages. Old translation software describes the color brown as "Nigger Brown". Remnants of this can be seen on furniture and Chinese mfk'd goods

Are the Xiaomeme laptops overpriced or are the Jumper EZbooks trash?

Why the price difference?

Jumper uses Apollo Lake processors and eMMC storage, the Xiaomeme laptops use Core M processors up to normal i5/i7 and commonly an SSD

so there's a price difference I guess, the Jumper EZBooks price is deceptive in that it somewhat requires an SSD upgrade but I have access to one in person and it's really well-made

solid metal construction, gorgeous 1080p IPS display

with an SSD it sails

as long as you don't game or do anything intensive, it's a shitposting machine

Core M and up can handle gaymes/photoshopping/video editing better

I wouldn't say the Xiaomi ones are overpriced basically, more of a laptop for a different purpose.

Like the Xiaomi Notebook Pro is more meant as a machine for doing professional work and has specs to reflect that

I feel embarrassed for asking before looking at the specs but thanks, that's a solid explanation

I'm gonna start saving up for a chinkbook because my current laptop gargles on tidal waves of semen every time I try to do anything on it

Even though I would mostly just use it for internet browsing and documents

So I think I'll go with the Jumper

I think a ThinkPad is still the way to go personally but for a new laptop made in current year the Jumper is really cool

like the stuff you get for the price you don't get in the shops

I'm going to throw it in a backpack so I'd prefer a thin laptop tbh.

battery life is great too

Plus ThinkPads are hard to come by over here.

Isn't it like 6 hours?

6-8, I got 8 last time

but the new v4 you can unlock the power limits and crank the performance up

shortens the battery

Obviously at the cost of battery

Yeah I figured

p cool though

Doesn't sound too bad though.

Is it worth the sacrifice in battery life though?

Like is it a significant improvement

my dad has the laptop and his is a v3 so I can't test it easily

I think you could upgrade to the V4 bios maybe

That's pretty cool actually

Yeah makes it viable for simple gaming

So in short, once I do buy the Jumper EZbook I should go for the v4 version and upgrade with an SSD as soon as you can.
