on the topic of actual chinkshit, i got this today https://www.ebuyer.com/840113-trekstor-surfbook-a13b-laptop-a13b-co-36802
only sort-of chinkshit i guess because it came from a UK store and the brand is German, but this is clearly some chinese odm whitelabel thing. it's pretty decent. n4000 is only dual core, and that does show, but i literally bought this for word processing and basically nothing else, and the keyboard is fine. i was going to get a jumper or a chuwi of some kind eventually, but i saw this was slightly discounted and had a pseudo-UK keyboard (| and \ on function keys) which i liked so i went for it.

+ it's actually cheaper than anything from jumper or chuwi that i've found recently and has a proper UK warranty and stuff, which to me makes up for having a n4000 instead of a n4100

@Adam W did you screen get fucked up like mine in transit?

mine is pretty much fine, though the top left corner has like half the row of pixels obscured by the bezel, which annoys me. i *might* see if i can get a replacement, we'll see how much it bothers me after a day or so

how was yours fucked up?

mine was in perfect condition though i did notice there was basically zero padding in the box, so i'm not surprised if they get damaged sometimes

Anything to get on this cyber monday?

yes, but not chinkshit

@Adam W panel damage in local shipping caused this yellow artefacting

and yes, that is a Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air

Hence why I'm so pissed off rn

o u c h

i'd cry

and it hurts

because this is such a goregous piece of tech

*having a techrax moment*

Like buying a new MacBook, but it's not shit

i've never owned an actually nice and good laptop

though this thing is very thin and light which is new for me

I like how "sleeper" it is

i'm excited for xiaomi to bring their laptops to the UK so I can go try one out

no bullshit logos or anything

yeah lack of any logo is cool

yeah same

so this can get fucking repaired if need be

there is one flagship store in NZ

it has a qt little mi at the bottom

or wiwi

but they don't deal with the laptops just yet

They know they are not a premium brand

i hope when they do bring them to the UK they give them a proper uk keyboard

i need my big boy enter key

The thing I don't like about the keyboard

On a 13 inch it is unlikely you are going to get it

the space key is shifted right by the Fn key

and it feels weird to use for gaming

which btw

WarFrame at 1080p Medium holds at 55-60FPS

Not sure I can say the same for the open world maps of Cetus or Vallis, didn't test that yet for obvious reasons

what's it got, an mx150 right?
