Same, I think this guy is the real deal👍 Sharing his knowledge with this review, alerting people who are considering buying any laptop and making it known. Be aware Amazon is a platform where there are all kinds of people with different interests selling their merchandise.We must be inform ourselves before checking out. Stay safe.
Thank you. My employer almost bought fifteen of these under the "Maxsignage" brand. Absolute nonsense advertising and lots of fake reviews. Another Celeron chip that's not even supported for windows eleven. Just the name along got my hackles up.
Yes. Please put amazon and these scammers on blast. Here’s what happens: If they have get a thousand people to buy a 350$ laptop, they’ll turn a profit. Even when you factor in the product cost and a few returns. When enough people complain, the company will change their name and start the cycle all over again.
@@jacobsladder5262 They are forced to change their name because people have DEFAMED them and given them a bad rep for legally marketing a product that is legitimate!
@@reluctentninja You make no sense, the laptop is junk, so I have a feeling that you already own one of these not so wonderful laptops telling your self you got a good deal isnt going to change the fact that the laptop is junk,.
@GodFartherOG actually I don't I'm a samsung person but the laptop in question is indeed good enough for basic schoolwork browsing etc. Not everyone is a power user
One word, Hero. I was trying to convince a friend not to buy one like this. You helped in showing them the shocking reality of this product and ones like this under new names that pop up on Amazon.
Honestly refurb is the way to go. This thing is 100$ more expensive than a surface pro 4 12.3 with widows 11 and the keyboard. Superior build quality with top specs. Refurb is always the best value
Some of them new name laptops are good though. I always check the customer reviews along with their picture proof, before I make a buying decision. Some of the well known brands at times rip you off with the overpricing with so little hard drive space and features missing. Yes I agree there are some scamming laptops out there, but its the new name laptops is where you get your money's worth. Something that is $300 that could get you 16GB of Ram, 1080p resolutions, 512 or more in SSD space with a super fast processor is a damn good deal.
That is what is so good about Amazon....don't like it? sent it back....no questions asked. Thanks for the review. I have a Dell Laptop that is 13 years old fully upgraded and stil works the best than the new laptops out there. I will keep it till October 2025 when Windows 10 expires. Keep up the good work
You can return it and they will even send you the mail sticker for returns. I bought an SSD 2TB and when I got it, it said 17TB and that was very disconcerting to me and I didn't even get it out of its package and wrapped it up and returned it in the envelope it came in. A 17TB SSD does not cost $50 plus and so I knew it was a scam and unloaded it right away.
The Intel Celeron N5095 is actually a fairly new CPU, it entered the market in Q1 of 2021. I don‘t think it‘s the main problem with this laptop. It probably has dozens of other things that cause problems (the lack of a working fan etc.)
just bc a CPU is pretty new doesn't mean its not underpowered. Those older celerons are def underpowered. Once you load up just a few programs both RAM (always low in budget laptops) and CPU start to bottleneck performance.
It's a cheap laptop that serves most people's needs. Why spend money on a $1200 dollar laptop that's more then you need and will probably last just as long as the $300 dollar laptop.
@@michaelbrown7142 I'm not saying it doesn't serve people's needs, I'm saying that this laptop was NEVER worth the original cost based on its specs, anyone who paid that was literally getting robbed 😂. If you know anything about laptops this laptop would never be 1000+. Even at the discounted price it's still fairly pricey for what it is. You missed my point, I'm definitely not saying you have to spend 1000+ on a laptop. You can easily find a good one much cheaper, just not a falsely discounted like this one! :)
@@Alexander0189 I hate that "Retail value" or original value basically manipulation tactic. Infomercials and shopping centers like QVC does it constantly. Same with outlet stores where I live. You look up products for the supposed retail or original price and they are far superior and they just made up some massive number to give the impression your getting a way better deal than you actually are if you are getting a deal at all to begin with. It works on millions of people too sadly.
I had a family friend who bought one of those for their son for christmas. I told them they got totally ripped off and they should return it and they never did. The machine was terrible. Was running win 11 but the hardware couldn't meet requirements when reformatting. Also their website didn't even have drivers for installing to get it run. Had to spend hours looking up pci/ven codes in device manager and going to shady sites to find a driver that worked.
@@animatewithdermot Technically your Zbook probably can but you have to use a modified installer of W11 that removed the hardware checks to allow it to install. I have a machine with an i7 6700k that's still usable for everyday use but won't take W11 because of the minimum requirements (TPM 2.0 ) but I could install W11 using modified installation media but won't because W10 just works and is still supported. I planned on eventually migrated to linux anyways I think once W10 hits EoL if Microsoft wants to keep becoming more draconian with every new iteration of their OS.
@@oOignignoktOo1 Yeah, I've found some excellent channels that show how to make custom installs - will def. have to consider doing that, thankfully not for a couple of years!
You should use the same resolution and settings on both computers to make the comparison valid. The SGIN was obviously running at higher resolution, we can see it.
I really wished i saw this video sooner. Amazon got me as a person that doesn't know all that much about computers, with that 75% off deal. The laptops screen stopped working completely a month after i couldn't return it anymore so its just literal trash. Im dealing with some guy in their warranty department that is having me troubleshoot but i really just want a refund for this crap.
That's what you get for not doing research first. There are plenty of low cost laptops with Intel i7 CPUs. THey haven't produced new Celeron chips since 2011, stopping at that model "Sandy Bridge" and have not updated them like the i3,i5,i7s. If you wanted a budget laptop, find one with an i3 processor but you're better off with the mid range i5. This is why research is important.
@@davidruzzo5806 No, that's the hazard of not researching. If you're going to be spending several hundred to a couple thousand dollars, you bet your ass I'm researching.
As someone who bought the Jumper Ezbook S5, yeah, it was an absolute scam. After six months of absolute torture, I ended up getting a refurbished Lenovo Ideapad 5 for the same price, and I was blown away by the sheer quality of it. Thank you for making this notice!
@eternal_lightRBX My laptop's configuration was a Ryzen 7 5700U with 8 gigabytes of ram. It runs low-end games near perfectly, though it struggles with the ultra demanding games, but that's mostly because of integrated graphics. For my use case, it runs pretty decently, especially when you're using it with the charger. I can run Hoi4 on low graphics setting rather decently(to my standards.)
@@zazabami6789 Depends on the specific make of the laptop you get. I suggest you do your research. As for mine, since I can run Sky: Children of the Light, on maximum settings without much issue, I can imagine my own laptop being capable of handling the SIMS 4 pretty nicely.
Great consumer protection video. Glad you made this. I recently purchased a low end Dell laptop and I'm really happy with the purchase. It's no supercomputer but does everything I need it to at a budget price.
Laptop is def a scam, but the connection issue was most likely related to windows updates, it's common for windows machines to start downloading a lot of crap when you configure them without access to the Ethernet in the first place. Then once they get access windows starts doing a lot stuff you know the usual download some Microsoft malware ect. But processor aside and the shady ad for being discounted from 1.5k down to 350 bucks it's actually not that bad spec for the money. It's not ethical to do it, but it works and going as far as calling those people scammers is not entirely true, otherwise, the entire world would consider RUclipsrs scammers, as you guys constantly do undisclosed ads and push crap on your audience.
I've had a few people ask me for advice buying laptops, and sometimes they see the "was $2,000. Now $300" or similar and almost buy them thinking it must be a great deal; but usually the first price is just what the MSRP WAS when the computer first released, and they're usually from like 10+ years ago (or they knocked off a laptop from that time and copied it's specs and original price), so now they aren't even worth $200. So many shady things sellers on amazon do to trick people into garbage purchases.
'If it's too good to be true, it probably is'. A healthy level of scepticism never does anyone any harm. Renovated computers can be a very good deal for the consumer, but you need to exercise care when buying. I use a company that renovates desktops, laptops and tablets as a sideline to their normal work, which is selling and servicing computers on a large scale to business, governmental and educational organisations. When their customers upgrade, they take back older kit and renovate it to a high standard. I've found them very trustworthy, with no quibble gaurantees.
I mean, if you know where and what to look for, 2-3 year old Dell Latitudes and some Lenovo Thinkpads have great value. But they're usually limited runs of returns, unsold old stock, or used enterprise laptops after a company got new ones.
I've worked in retail and I can honestly say that most discounts/discounted prices you see are the actual price. Its a marketing scam that a lot of companies used to try and get people to buy their products. If you really want actual discounts, warehouse sales/shops that sell old products usually tend to give you good prices for quality stuff. Don't believe these huge hyper discounts on most online retails/apps, they are definitely too good to be true
I'm betting an AI wrote the article you referenced. I got sick of articles trying to sell old MacBook Airs from 2014 on Apple News that blocked the channels.
Sounds like bots wrote all the good reviews. Even the good reviews criticize it for being a bad product. Seems like the company bribed people to change the one-star rating to five-star without changing the content of the review or rewriting the review.
Oof, just bought this laptop cause I needed a new work one and thought it was just the january sales usual craziness... fortunately getting a refund, ordered an Acer Aspire now.
Phew! Thanks Dayo. Was literally just going to buy this ‘heavily’ discounted laptop from Amazons UK site but not after seeing your excellent review. Will now wait till Black Friday for better deals.
NImo is fire for laptops, just depends in what setup you get. This clown is comparing his cheap ass 300 Nimo with a N100 processor...... to his MacBook. Wtf.
Thank you for putting this out there. Very important to raise awareness of these Traptop Computers and to stop as many people as possible from buying them.
I got scammed, too. My laptop had an update and has been spinning for one week. I contacted China, and they told me I have a 2 year warranty , but they refused to respond to me when I asked what company the warranty is with and how will I get it repaired. I am out almost $400.00.
Thanks I was suspicious why this would be $1300 retail but discounted 72% and not seeing anything special about it. They are selling by another name now called Waicin
they always go by different names, Jumper, Flashree, DERE, and at times these "companies" hire influencers to market their products by sending good models and then sells defect cheap ones
I bought a jumper laptop and it’s shite wont last long on battery and has a SSD SLOT IN BACK THATS TINY THE VIDEO IS TERRIBLE I PAID TWO HUNDRED SO THAT WHY ITS SHIT ILL NEED TO TAKE IT OFF MY WI-FI JUST ASWELL I DONT DO BANKING ON LNE THANKS DAYO
Your channel popped up in my suggested videos stream. "Oh, great, another tech RUclipsr I don't want to watch," was the first thing that crossed my mind. Then I decided to give the video a watch and loved it. Great presentation and reactions. You've earned yourself a new subscriber, and I look forward to checking out your channel!
I'm not even buying a laptop. I just happened to scroll on RUclips and caught this video. It is hilarious! Thank you for the review. Hopefully, more people will see it and avoid a disaster by purchasing this "laptop." Keep them coming, please!
Barely a scam , but SO WHAT If its chinese made if it works fine and verified in some genuine way - i wouldnt be scared of it . Heck ive had good luck w some knock off brands that outlived things that are labeled Samsung.
@@adamtajhassam9188because if something goes wrong with it your SOL for the same price you can get a brand name something a lot better especially if you buy refurbished
I fully support your sponsor.. Good review and Amazon should be ashamed that anyone sells this junk for $350. Three months ago I bought an HP laptop off FB Marketplace that is a I3 11th Gen for $150 and it performs much better than the dog in this video. I enjoyed your video enough that I've subscribed.
I gotta tell you guys I bought a 2015 Microsoft Surface laptop Intel i7 for the princely sum… if you’re sitting down for it - for a grand total of $50! 😝 Why anyone would spend $350 for a cheap, no name Chinese Intel Celeron laptop is beyond me.
@@davidruzzo5806 You clearly don’t understand how these scams work. You almost certainly can’t return it. The “company” takes advantage of the Amazon feature to merge product SKU’s into a single listing. They take a listing of a successful product, merge these garbage tier laptops into that listing, so the reviews look good, and then use the listing to only sell this new, awful, often broken or falsified item. Pretend the price is a killer discount (which is a separate crime in and of itself) to drum up the interest, coupled with the glowing reviews (of a completely different machine or product), and then sell as many as possible. As soon as the complaints and return requests start coming in, they take off. Abandon the company, change their name, and skip town with the money, so to speak. Then they set up shop again the next day with a brand new, equally generic and intentionally confusing name (often just a string of letters that makes no sense and can’t be read as an actual word), and do the same all over again. They’re not accountable to Amazon anymore, since they’re quite literally a different legal entity, and can do this as many times as suspicions arise. It’s a whole scam industry, that apparently you were entirely unaware of.
Is the keyboard backlit? I see a 17" that I might take a chance on because it is all I can afford. Some people need products at the prices of these off-brands.
After buying a couple of laptops from Amazon that were advertised as "New! Latest Version!" and turned out to be a couple of years old- but with, in one case, the hard drive swapped out for an SSD, in the other case it wouldn't even boot up properly, I swore off Amazon for laptops. Too many shady dealers on Amazon trying to sell refurbed units as "new." And they don't want to refund your money when you call them on it.
I am so glad you did this. I bought it and immediately cancelled the order after seeing this video. I am just feeling lucky to find this video as soon as I clicked buy now. Amazon really tricks you to buy it with the displayed discount and even by showing that only 2 are left to buy.
@@MrKrabbs252true, not everyone has thousands of dollars to spend on a laptop. However, I have to say... anyone buying this purely based on the sketchy discount is just being ignorant. For $350 your options are limited but there are plenty of devices from reputable or well known brands that you can get through sales. Acer & HP in particular have devices in this price range that would offer an experience much better than this with better warranties.
Bro these are celeron . They are supposed to be low cost processor. I am not sure what are you trying to get for 200 dollars. They are even slower than 7th or 8th generation of Intel. You get what you pay for.
I mean, 12 GB's of RAM and a 512 GB SSD, Windows 11 for a budget price, it seems reasonable and it also seems to do the tasks it needs to do, ie, simple web browsing and email, etc. For the price, this doesn't seem to be a scam at all. Also, you didn't even give it a good internet connection to properly test the load times and web page loading in general. I don't see why you think this laptop is a scam, unless you're basing it solely on the unknown brand name SGIN. I personally wouldn't buy this for myself mainly because I would need something more powerful than a Celeron. But, for granny, heck, I'd get it for her. I think your review is misguided. If you could show some actual problem with the laptop, or if it was loaded with malware, then fine, dunk on it all you want. However, just knocking it because it's inexpensive and low quality isn't fair. It's a budget priced laptop, not a Macbook Pro or a flagship Dell or HP.
A $200 chrome book is way better than that thing…. Honestly I think they are making an attempt to repurpose old, & unsold laptops in which of coarse they are making a bad attempt at…
You should run a program that will fetch the true silicon values for the SSD and Memory as they program devices to post false values. BTW, Shenzhen is where most generic devices are made and sold in China
RAM & SSD are prob fine. same said if u have a Kingston SSD made in china, Netac is a known brand since 1999 but mainly known in china while they have a global market but not doing much for it + OEM doesnt help that much, cant speak for the RAM, didnt see it. but rarely see any DDR4+ ram malfunction yet.
I subscribed just for the fact that you told people if they buy this to unsubscribe I shared the same opinions with value statements when it comes to computers. I was actually in a little bit of a heated debate the other day with a plumber who was working at my house who kept telling me that it was acceptable to pay $700 for an I-9 strictly only to game. I absolutely cannot stand people who waste money on hardware.
Great review, Dayo. I love your animated and hands-on presentation. Until you opened it up to show the guts of this computer I was thinking it might be produced by one of the factories that make name brand laptops. They might be prohibited from selling the same computers under their own name -- or under various unpronounceable names like SGIN -- and may even use inferior parts to earn some extra money. But after seeing the actual build and your demonstration I can't imagine these no-name laptops coming from any legitimate factory, let alone one that has a contract with a well-respected brand. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this. One of our lazy tabloid UK trash newspapers is currently advertising it in an article trying to convince people what a great deal it is as it's an affiliate link for them. I knew it looked trashy and too good to be true.
@@davidruzzo5806It is very definitely a scam. You can’t advertise a product at a price it’s never been sold at, and then claim that the current price is a discount. That’s not marketing, that’s quite literally illegal.
For me to even consider buying a laptop with celeron it would have to be under $100. I spent $439 back in 2008 what a waste of money. To top it off it was running windows vista. Never again on both accounts. Unless its a killer deal.
The fact that it has 12GB of Ram and you could put a M.2 stick in there with 2TB is an nice value especially if you downgrade Windows 11 to a way earlier version of Windows 10. Way better adjusting to a Celeron CPU. Mind you that ChromeOS Laptops with less RAM (8GB) and a lot less Storage (128GB) are sold above $500 easy. This is the perfect DIY migration to ChromeOS Laptop with the capability to run Windows 10 if needed. I see all the benefits for a budget laptop.
I got a refurbished laptop straight from Dell. $178 for an 4c/8t 6th gen i5. 8gb of ram, 250gb SSD. $30 for 16Gb of extra ram, 1TB SSD for $40. Absolutely crushes this scam.
Something about these off brand laptops is that the Wi-fi connection is always horrible and the PC lasts for a couple moths before basically breaking down.
Windows 11 won't install on a laptop like that with ought being hacked FYI. It needs TPM 2.0 which that old processor (its BIOS related mainly) does not support. Any BIOS that will run that processor won't have TPM 2
I bought some shoes from the same of part China on Amazon and these shoes are medically dangerous because after wearing for about a week I was going infected rashes from them and luckily I had some other new shoes around which I didn't want to wearing because it was in back storage but the infection rash was that bad where I had no choice. I'm not surprised that Amazon is allowing bad products from China being sold on their site and I can see someone like new computer users or old people with limited knowledge on computers buying this laptop.
Bought it last year from Amazon for 99.00. I work IT and needed to quickly learn Windows 11. 99.00 was kinda worth a class in Windows' new OS before we started deploying across our environment. Never saw this RUclipsr before. Agree 100% This will take forever to load windows mail, change alweb pages and search for files. CANNOT work with graphics. Keys are clicky and track pad does do that double click as demonstrated here. I could afford the 99$$ to learn W11 when I have 3 W10 machines already up and running. Not too eager to upgrade to W11 on my home system. BTW. I also do not sync accounts, connect to my network or bank on this laptop. Rarely use it at all since I have learned W11.
It was a scam. Me and. my son bought two of them thru Amazon and both of them were complete trash. We returned them and got the refund. No speaker and the mouse for the laptops malfunctioning. The merchant called me a scammer before I even finished the first sentence when I called the merchant to get some help.
I got a Cello laptop a few months ago on Amazon for £100. 8GB memory, 128GB SSD, and an N4020 CPU, and it's almost a carbon copy of this, in regards to the shape, colour, port layout, etc. I think it was actually a decent deal because I knew exactly what I wanted and what I was getting. And with a cheap no name Chinese laptop you aren't paying the massive "manufacturer tax" that you pay with Apple, ASUS, Toshiba, etc. Over the years I've wasted money buying cheap used expensive laptops that are slow and have batteries that are on the verge of death, so getting a new laptop with Windows 11 that's light and cheap is great. These laptops definitely have their place, but the sale tactics that SGIN use are totally scummy.
I bought one Sgin last week on EBay 8 gb ram. It’s doing all I want from it for £150. I have a Ryzen9 pc so I didn’t expect miracles from this laptop it is light I haven’t bothered taking the plastic dust covers off I don’t need it for gaming so we’ll see how it goes😅
@@dixiefallas7799 Yea, it's fantastic that the option is there nowadays to buy such a cheap laptop. Back 10-20 years ago you'd be looking at a minimum of £600-1000 for a new one. You do have to know your stuff when buying a laptop though, otherwise it's easy to get scammed, or disappointed.
@@Insectoid_ I bet you'd change your mind pretty quickly if you didn't have any laptop! I have a custom watercooled gaming PC so I rarely have to use the laptop, so there's no point in spending hundreds or thousands on an expensive one. As I said, these laptops definitely have their place, and they're miles better than a 10-15 year old brick of a laptop running Vista with 1GB of ram, a 40GB hard drive that only has 30 minutes of screen time.. If I had no PC, and I only had £100 to spend, I'd absolutely go for one of these instead of buying a used laptop.
Those top reviews for this piece of e-waste surely are bought. Amazon should take action or perhaps they are in such a powerful position that losing a few customers over these scams doesn't matter.
At that price you are better off buying a used ThinkPad I got a 2012 version that runs Windows 11 and Office etc great. It cost me just over £110 UKP. in great condition.
Can't knock them people for selling their trash on Amazon. Who buys non reputable company electronics? You could have gotten a cheap Acer laptop from Walmart for the same price with warranty.
kept seeing this and kept refusing to buy it as the original price was over a thousand pound and they were selling it for £299.00, i nearly did buy it but then thought it was to good to be true, it looks like i was right after seeing this video, so thank you. it seems my tablets would work better than this.
Dude I cleared out my buy list to afford this and was about to hit Buy when a little birdie in my head said "Maybe you'd better try for some 3rd party insight on this first". Im surprised it's here. It's on hold now. This wasn't a deal breaker yet. It's not looking so good. Thanks a bunch.
then the OS is modified because Windows 11 will not work on a Celeron. There are an influx of Chinese companies putting out crap. I would dump the bios and examine with a hex editor. I bet dimes to dollars that the OS is backdoored.
Wow, the slow connection problem is entirely caused by using a hotspot, and not enough ram! Try connecting via ethernet and adding some memory, I bet they will make all the difference
Yes obviously something was wrong with the connection (or network configuration). Even 10 years older laptop will connect faster. As suggested here too, use a proper isolated Guest network for this type of situation.
I also felt super skeptical just looking at the price. I couldn't really rely on the reviews of the product as they were mostly from elderly or facebook moms. So, thank u for this review
I don't know why you are all hung up on running Windows 11 on a Celeron Processor. It may not be a speed demon, but I have three mini-computers with Celeron processors running in my home lab, and Windows 11 runs just fine. I'm not disagreeing that you have a crappy computer, but running a Celeron doesn't disqualify it from being a real computer. And BTW, "5000mAh" does not mean "5000 Million Hours"; it means "5000 milliamp hours". It's the same way all laptop batteries are rated.
Hey, my mother went out and bought somehow, a 2 core cpu i3-7th gen 2.2 ghz, with 1 tb of storage ( HDD of course, for ultra slow boot and work) and 8 gb of 1800 mhz ram for something like 600 bucks, so the laptop you're showing compared to this one might even look decent !! To top it all out this laptop is not even 2 years old....
Just watched your video. You had me on the floor laughing when describing this laptop, especially when trying to use the trackpad while playing Minecraft. Thanks so much for my early morning entertainment. 😂 FYI - I can't believe how all those people would not do their research. I don't understand how anyone would buy or trust a generic laptop from China. Thanks for literally blowing the "back lid" off this laptop! Still laughing!
Faaaak.....I feel for it dude. Walmart has them on flash sale and I for the 17" one. It should be here soon and I'm now really disappointed in my self for not looking into it more 😢😢
The author doesn't know that Celeron N5095 is not a 10 years old processor. Also, the author didn't mention why that build is awful on the inside. The battery capacity was always in mAh, where m stands for mili. Overall lack of knowledge is very noticeable by an experienced technician...
This was more hilarious than expected 😂 got yourself a new subscription here I've only ever heard of SGIN just a few days ago. Pretty much the same specs but a ridiculous 32GB of RAM 😂 well yeah, would be nice... If the other components could make something of the potential. Now i know it's even worse than i expected
I recently purchased this same laptop with the 17” screen, I use it at my workplace for light duties and it works fine. I paid $289 on Amazon and I feel it is totally worth it. RUclips and other websites pull up fast. I am a person that actually bought this laptop (17” screen) and it does everything I expected it to do for the price. Of course it’s not as fast as my 12.9 2TB IPad Pro or any of my other IPads, I use only Apple devices in my personal life, but for my workplace I needed a inexpensive Windows laptop and I’m not willing to spend a lot of money on a Windows laptop as I don’t like Windows devices. Cheers, Davyo
You got what you paid for ........not happy ? Send it back, Amazon takes returns......if it gets too many returns attributed to this supplier it will cut them off.
I cant believe i can buy a 2018 or newer macbook pro for the same price used. This is disgusting. The ppl leaving those reviews are old ppl that have used outdates computers on windows xp for years and years
To put it in context and correct. This appears to have a cpu announced in 3Q 2021. It is four cores with typical DPT of 15 watts. That's decent actually. It's faster than I5-7200U, a very popular CPU announced in 2016, that powered many popular brand name laptops. There is no reason this machine, as the specs appear to be, shouldn't run youtube videos decently and be usable for browsing, office applications etc, unless the chipset is weird, but that is highly unlikely. Your wifi configuration is suspect, perhaps wrong drivers or configuration. Single memory channel is not going to slow it down that much or any other reasonable factor. Gaming though, will hardy be its forté. That said, the 'reviews' are fake, just as the 'discount'. The N series CPU (Celeron) and the laptop is a typical low cost offering for third world consumers. The price is decent by the looks of it, but a second hand Thinkpad is something I would consider instead of a new low power laptop.
Actually, it could be, that's why you should always do clean instal OS from your own usb stick when using that kind of knock off laptop, because preinstalled could have been modified.
Was looking at this because I'm trying to get something to replace my Chromebook, getting into 3d modeling and this is the best option according to Amazon. But honestly with this I just feel like I've hit a wall in terms of finding something that's gonna work for me lol, good video ✨
If you want something cheap and durable, used Thinkpads are often an excellent option. I would find someone who is in the business of refurbishing, and read feedback on the seller. I got one for my Mom years ago, screen was amazing and it's been really durable.
@@Raletia I actually bought a 2nd hand (cash converters) thinkpad about a year ago. it's been flawless. generous hdd too. the only downside was no cd/dvd tray, so, I got an external one powered by usb and it does what I want it to do. it's fast, connects to the internet, has a fingerprint sensor (which is good) for signing in. I also have a couple of microsoft surfaces (bought from the same place) and can use the ms stylus on both devices (despite CC claiming the stylus didn't work - if you're not doing it right, it won't - it works as it should do!) even better - the surface tablet was £99 with the 'faulty' stylus - which, after looking it up online, should cost about £70. so I'm the one laughing! 2nd hand is usually pretty good if you look for known brands.
think if you paid the laptop for $396 than the bank account loses the $1.3M from $396 laptop and never says about the laptop price was changed before you order it
Thank you for saving me for making a big mistake. I don’t know anything about computers but my kids needed one and I was gonna get two because it was five star ratings off of Amazon and you couldn’t beat the price with the 80% discount discount or not it’s a piece of Doodoo.
I bought a laptop from Amazon 3 months ago. I couldn’t use it till I got WiFi. Then I found it doesn’t have Word (the only thing I wanted), at least 2 keys don’t work, and I can’t enter any email address, as the @ doesn’t work. Robbed.
even if these laptop appear at cheaper prices its just because there are less-noticeable defects or the laptop would not last after a few months so kindly avoid these
@@DayoAworunseI just bought this a few hours ago on amazon but was a bit suspicious that there wasn't a manufacturer listed in the listing.

Can you recommend something decent I can grab on black Friday later this month. I'm weary of amazon listings now and would love to get advice on a platform to buy from. My budget is around £500 ish. I would be extremely grateful for your help. Thank you so much 🙏
"Nice laptop". You made a pretty funny product review. Why you buyed it ? Anyway buy something marked as Asus, Acer etc. If you will saving money they have Low-End laptops and High-End laptops. Everyone's choice. Don't stop with reviews. Tahnk you.
This a good $40 dollar laptop to run a lite Linux distro and use it basically as a typewriter connected to a printer. Or social media, Netflix, surfing the web, RUclips, but not with Windows.
how can it be scam if says its a celeron cpu on it and you buy it for more than 50$ and why would anybody running apple turn their noise up at stuff made in china, this a great example of how people have no idea how the hardware they run works, its celeron dude what did you think going to be, you can get a Ryzen laptop for the money spent
Nobody is turning their nose up at things made in China. Most laptops, including apple, are made in China. The scam is the selling price when there are better laptops at the same price without a 70% discount
Scam or not I don’t know, but you look astonishing with the word “celeron” and finally you said that celeron is from 2011!!!!! Celeron is still in production till today, and this laptop processor is from 2022 I think. How the hell you are reviewing a laptop since you don’t have this simple fact ??!!!
Not wishing to defend the laptop but did you make sure windows wasn't downloading, patching and upgrading in the background as you have just unboxed it..

Yes. Please put amazon and these scammers on blast. Here’s what happens: If they have get a thousand people to buy a 350$ laptop, they’ll turn a profit.

One word, Hero. I was trying to convince a friend not to buy one like this. You helped in showing them the shocking reality of this product and ones like this under new names that pop up on Amazon.
Amazon the place for scam products
Honestly refurb is the way to go. This thing is 100$ more expensive than a surface pro 4 12.3 with widows 11 and the keyboard. Superior build quality with top specs. Refurb is always the best value
Some of them new name laptops are good though. I always check the customer reviews along with their picture proof, before I make a buying decision. Some of the well known brands at times rip you off with the overpricing with so little hard drive space and features missing. Yes I agree there are some scamming laptops out there, but its the new name laptops is where you get your money's worth. Something that is $300 that could get you 16GB of Ram, 1080p resolutions, 512 or more in SSD space with a super fast processor is a damn good deal.
I ordered this last night to replace my HP so my son could do online school. So glad I found this video! Damn shame Amazon sales this junk!
I'd resell it or replace the cpu if possible, but not worth the risk either, sorry .The asus ones arent too bad.
@@Catinthehackmatrix I actually sent it back and got the Asus F15 Tuf gaming laptop. Great laptop!
That is what is so good about Amazon....don't like it? sent it back....no questions asked. Thanks for the review. I have a Dell Laptop that is 13 years old fully upgraded and stil works the best than the new laptops out there. I will keep it till October 2025 when Windows 10 expires. Keep up the good work
You can return it and they will even send you the mail sticker for returns. I bought an SSD 2TB and when I got it, it said 17TB and that was very disconcerting to me and I didn't even get it out of its package and wrapped it up and returned it in the envelope it came in. A 17TB SSD does not cost $50 plus and so I knew it was a scam and unloaded it right away.
@@Catinthehackmatrix you won't find any place you might swap in a faster component, except the SSD
The Intel Celeron N5095 is actually a fairly new CPU, it entered the market in Q1 of 2021. I don‘t think it‘s the main problem with this laptop. It probably has dozens of other things that cause problems (the lack of a working fan etc.)
My thoughts exactly. I have a Celeron and it loads web pages almost instantly
just bc a CPU is pretty new doesn't mean its not underpowered. Those older celerons are def underpowered. Once you load up just a few programs both RAM (always low in budget laptops) and CPU start to bottleneck performance.

It's a cheap laptop that serves most people's needs. Why spend money on a $1200 dollar laptop that's more then you need and will probably last just as long as the $300 dollar laptop.

I had a family friend who bought one of those for their son for christmas. I told them they got totally ripped off and they should return it and they never did. The machine was terrible. Was running win 11 but the hardware couldn't meet requirements when reformatting. Also their website didn't even have drivers for installing to get it run. Had to spend hours looking up pci/ven codes in device manager and going to shady sites to find a driver that worked.
Lol imagine trying to even repair that PC wtf is wrong with you.
This POS runs Win11 but my maxxed out HP Zbook17 can't? What a rip!
@@animatewithdermot Technically your Zbook probably can but you have to use a modified installer of W11 that removed the hardware checks to allow it to install. I have a machine with an i7 6700k that's still usable for everyday use but won't take W11 because of the minimum requirements (TPM 2.0 ) but I could install W11 using modified installation media but won't because W10 just works and is still supported. I planned on eventually migrated to linux anyways I think once W10 hits EoL if Microsoft wants to keep becoming more draconian with every new iteration of their OS.

Love that an Amazon ad popped up during this.
You should use the same resolution and settings on both computers to make the comparison valid. The SGIN was obviously running at higher resolution, we can see it.
I really wished i saw this video sooner. Amazon got me as a person that doesn't know all that much about computers, with that 75% off deal. The laptops screen stopped working completely a month after i couldn't return it anymore so its just literal trash. Im dealing with some guy in their warranty department that is having me troubleshoot but i really just want a refund for this crap.
The company paid internet articles and Amazon reviews to sing its praises. It's the SOP of Chinese companies. It's unethical and borderline criminal.
That's sometimes the hazards of MARKETING. Sometimes you get a LEMON!
That's what you get for not doing research first. There are plenty of low cost laptops with Intel i7 CPUs. THey haven't produced new Celeron chips since 2011, stopping at that model "Sandy Bridge" and have not updated them like the i3,i5,i7s. If you wanted a budget laptop, find one with an i3 processor but you're better off with the mid range i5. This is why research is important.

Does Lenovo work well for gaming ??
@@eternal_lightRBXYes depending on what you get tbh
@eternal_lightRBX My laptop's configuration was a Ryzen 7 5700U with 8 gigabytes of ram. It runs low-end games near perfectly, though it struggles with the ultra demanding games, but that's mostly because of integrated graphics.
For my use case, it runs pretty decently, especially when you're using it with the charger.
I can run Hoi4 on low graphics setting rather decently(to my standards.)

@@zazabami6789 Depends on the specific make of the laptop you get. I suggest you do your research.

Great consumer protection video. Glad you made this. I recently purchased a low end Dell laptop and I'm really happy with the purchase. It's no supercomputer but does everything I need it to at a budget price.
Laptop is def a scam, but the connection issue was most likely related to windows updates, it's common for windows machines to start downloading a lot of crap when you configure them without access to the Ethernet in the first place. Then once they get access windows starts doing a lot stuff you know the usual download some Microsoft malware ect. But processor aside and the shady ad for being discounted from 1.5k down to 350 bucks it's actually not that bad spec for the money.
It's not ethical to do it, but it works and going as far as calling those people scammers is not entirely true, otherwise, the entire world would consider RUclipsrs scammers, as you guys constantly do undisclosed ads and push crap on your audience.
RUclipsrs are dumb agents for scammers
You have to keep in mind that all you have to do is advertise a product worth $1 at $20, and now you can sell it at 75% off, and sell it for $5.
yup... amazon is making money eather way...they dont care.
I've had a few people ask me for advice buying laptops, and sometimes they see the "was $2,000. Now $300" or similar and almost buy them thinking it must be a great deal; but usually the first price is just what the MSRP WAS when the computer first released, and they're usually from like 10+ years ago (or they knocked off a laptop from that time and copied it's specs and original price), so now they aren't even worth $200. So many shady things sellers on amazon do to trick people into garbage purchases.
'If it's too good to be true, it probably is'. A healthy level of scepticism never does anyone any harm. Renovated computers can be a very good deal for the consumer, but you need to exercise care when buying. I use a company that renovates desktops, laptops and tablets as a sideline to their normal work, which is selling and servicing computers on a large scale to business, governmental and educational organisations. When their customers upgrade, they take back older kit and renovate it to a high standard. I've found them very trustworthy, with no quibble gaurantees.
I mean, if you know where and what to look for, 2-3 year old Dell Latitudes and some Lenovo Thinkpads have great value.
But they're usually limited runs of returns, unsold old stock, or used enterprise laptops after a company got new ones.

I've worked in retail and I can honestly say that most discounts/discounted prices you see are the actual price. Its a marketing scam that a lot of companies used to try and get people to buy their products. If you really want actual discounts, warehouse sales/shops that sell old products usually tend to give you good prices for quality stuff. Don't believe these huge hyper discounts on most online retails/apps, they are definitely too good to be true
I'm betting an AI wrote the article you referenced. I got sick of articles trying to sell old MacBook Airs from 2014 on Apple News that blocked the channels.
Sounds like bots wrote all the good reviews. Even the good reviews criticize it for being a bad product. Seems like the company bribed people to change the one-star rating to five-star without changing the content of the review or rewriting the review.
Oof, just bought this laptop cause I needed a new work one and thought it was just the january sales usual craziness... fortunately getting a refund, ordered an Acer Aspire now.

@@davidruzzo5806 You clearly don’t understand how these scams work. You almost certainly can’t return it.
The “company” takes advantage of the Amazon feature to merge product SKU’s into a single listing. They take a listing of a successful product, merge these garbage tier laptops into that listing, so the reviews look good, and then use the listing to only sell this new, awful, often broken or falsified item. Pretend the price is a killer discount (which is a separate crime in and of itself) to drum up the interest, coupled with the glowing reviews (of a completely different machine or product), and then sell as many as possible.
As soon as the complaints and return requests start coming in, they take off. Abandon the company, change their name, and skip town with the money, so to speak. Then they set up shop again the next day with a brand new, equally generic and intentionally confusing name (often just a string of letters that makes no sense and can’t be read as an actual word), and do the same all over again. They’re not accountable to Amazon anymore, since they’re quite literally a different legal entity, and can do this as many times as suspicions arise. It’s a whole scam industry, that apparently you were entirely unaware of.
I give you high marks for using a butcher's knife to open the box. Some knife sponsor should step up and help this brother out! Good job on the video.
Is the keyboard backlit? I see a 17" that I might take a chance on because it is all I can afford. Some people need products at the prices of these off-brands.
After buying a couple of laptops from Amazon that were advertised as "New! Latest Version!" and turned out to be a couple of years old- but with, in one case, the hard drive swapped out for an SSD, in the other case it wouldn't even boot up properly, I swore off Amazon for laptops. Too many shady dealers on Amazon trying to sell refurbed units as "new." And they don't want to refund your money when you call them on it.
I am so glad you did this. I bought it and immediately cancelled the order after seeing this video. I am just feeling lucky to find this video as soon as I clicked buy now. Amazon really tricks you to buy it with the displayed discount and even by showing that only 2 are left to buy.
Me too I bought it quick because I saw the discount and then I actually searched up then I cancelled
Lately Amazon seems to be a dumping ground for Chinese junk.
You are buying laptop from an unknown brand? WOW!
@@mihailgeceski4945 Everybody doesn't have $1000+ to spend on a laptop.
@@MrKrabbs252true, not everyone has thousands of dollars to spend on a laptop. However, I have to say... anyone buying this purely based on the sketchy discount is just being ignorant. For $350 your options are limited but there are plenty of devices from reputable or well known brands that you can get through sales. Acer & HP in particular have devices in this price range that would offer an experience much better than this with better warranties.
by the way, the RAM is soldered directly to the MB. That’s why it show up as a row and as chips and not a piece of RAM.
Bro these are celeron . They are supposed to be low cost processor. I am not sure what are you trying to get for 200 dollars. They are even slower than 7th or 8th generation of Intel. You get what you pay for.
I mean, 12 GB's of RAM and a 512 GB SSD, Windows 11 for a budget price, it seems reasonable and it also seems to do the tasks it needs to do, ie, simple web browsing and email, etc. For the price, this doesn't seem to be a scam at all. Also, you didn't even give it a good internet connection to properly test the load times and web page loading in general. I don't see why you think this laptop is a scam, unless you're basing it solely on the unknown brand name SGIN. I personally wouldn't buy this for myself mainly because I would need something more powerful than a Celeron. But, for granny, heck, I'd get it for her. I think your review is misguided. If you could show some actual problem with the laptop, or if it was loaded with malware, then fine, dunk on it all you want. However, just knocking it because it's inexpensive and low quality isn't fair. It's a budget priced laptop, not a Macbook Pro or a flagship Dell or HP.
Hi, i bought an acer aspire 3 A315-34. This unnamed laptop look like the acer.

You should run a program that will fetch the true silicon values for the SSD and Memory as they program devices to post false values. BTW, Shenzhen is where most generic devices are made and sold in China

Including Samsung
RAM & SSD are prob fine. same said if u have a Kingston SSD made in china, Netac is a known brand since 1999 but mainly known in china while they have a global market but not doing much for it + OEM doesnt help that much, cant speak for the RAM, didnt see it. but rarely see any DDR4+ ram malfunction yet.

I absolutely cannot stand people who waste money on hardware.
Just saw the prime day sales on a Jumper laptop and was intrigued by the price and specs. Thanks for saving me the hassle!
Great review, Dayo. I love your animated and hands-on presentation. Until you opened it up to show the guts of this computer I was thinking it might be produced by one of the factories that make name brand laptops. They might be prohibited from selling the same computers under their own name -- or under various unpronounceable names like SGIN -- and may even use inferior parts to earn some extra money. But after seeing the actual build and your demonstration I can't imagine these no-name laptops coming from any legitimate factory, let alone one that has a contract with a well-respected brand. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this. One of our lazy tabloid UK trash newspapers is currently advertising it in an article trying to convince people what a great deal it is as it's an affiliate link for them. I knew it looked trashy and too good to be true.

For me to even consider buying a laptop with celeron it would have to be under $100. I spent $439 back in 2008 what a waste of money. To top it off it was running windows vista. Never again on both accounts. Unless its a killer deal.
Thanks for doing this video there are similar brands that are doing the same thing on Amazon UK they need to stop these sellers selling this junk
probably old stock that has windows 11 that will eventually not work as it won't be a legit licence it probably doesn't even have tpm 2
@stormchaser300 He even states in the video, that he has a battery that was dated two months before.
The fact that it has 12GB of Ram and you could put a M.2 stick in there with 2TB is an nice value especially if you downgrade Windows 11 to a way earlier version of Windows 10. Way better adjusting to a Celeron CPU. Mind you that ChromeOS Laptops with less RAM (8GB) and a lot less Storage (128GB) are sold above $500 easy. This is the perfect DIY migration to ChromeOS Laptop with the capability to run Windows 10 if needed. I see all the benefits for a budget laptop.
I got a refurbished laptop straight from Dell. $178 for an 4c/8t 6th gen i5. 8gb of ram, 250gb SSD. $30 for 16Gb of extra ram, 1TB SSD for $40. Absolutely crushes this scam.
The specs seen in the task manager aren't legit, they're being faked by the bios. No way this thing has 12gb of ram in reality
Sounds like they screwed togethter some of the cheapest bits they could get and dumped a lot of ram in it. Seems like the CPU is the major bottleneck.
Something about these off brand laptops is that the Wi-fi connection is always horrible and the PC lasts for a couple moths before basically breaking down.
Windows 11 won't install on a laptop like that with ought being hacked FYI. It needs TPM 2.0 which that old processor (its BIOS related mainly) does not support. Any BIOS that will run that processor won't have TPM 2

I'm not surprised that Amazon is allowing bad products from China being sold on their site and I can see someone like new computer users or old people with limited knowledge on computers buying this laptop.
If you don’t like it you can always return to Amazon. That’s the great thing about Amazon.
Bought it last year from Amazon for 99.00. I work IT and needed to quickly learn Windows 11. 99.00 was kinda worth a class in Windows' new OS before we started deploying across our environment.
Never saw this RUclipsr before. Agree 100%
This will take forever to load windows mail, change alweb pages and search for files. CANNOT work with graphics. Keys are clicky and track pad does do that double click as demonstrated here. I could afford the 99$$ to learn W11 when I have 3 W10 machines already up and running. Not too eager to upgrade to W11 on my home system. BTW. I also do not sync accounts, connect to my network or bank on this laptop. Rarely use it at all since I have learned W11.
It was a scam. Me and. my son bought two of them thru Amazon and both of them were complete trash. We returned them and got the refund. No speaker and the mouse for the laptops malfunctioning. The merchant called me a scammer before I even finished the first sentence when I called the merchant to get some help.
I got a Cello laptop a few months ago on Amazon for £100. 8GB memory, 128GB SSD, and an N4020 CPU, and it's almost a carbon copy of this, in regards to the shape, colour, port layout, etc.
I think it was actually a decent deal because I knew exactly what I wanted and what I was getting. And with a cheap no name Chinese laptop you aren't paying the massive "manufacturer tax" that you pay with Apple, ASUS, Toshiba, etc.
Over the years I've wasted money buying cheap used expensive laptops that are slow and have batteries that are on the verge of death, so getting a new laptop with Windows 11 that's light and cheap is great.
These laptops definitely have their place, but the sale tactics that SGIN use are totally scummy.
I bought one Sgin last week on EBay 8 gb ram. It’s doing all I want from it for £150. I have a Ryzen9 pc so I didn’t expect miracles from this laptop it is light I haven’t bothered taking the plastic dust covers off I don’t need it for gaming so we’ll see how it goes😅

Back 10-20 years ago you'd be looking at a minimum of £600-1000 for a new one. You do have to know your stuff when buying a laptop though, otherwise it's easy to get scammed, or disappointed.
Dude. I’d cry if I had to use this laptop. I’d rather not have one
@@Insectoid_ I bet you'd change your mind pretty quickly if you didn't have any laptop!
I have a custom watercooled gaming PC so I rarely have to use the laptop, so there's no point in spending hundreds or thousands on an expensive one.
As I said, these laptops definitely have their place, and they're miles better than a 10-15 year old brick of a laptop running Vista with 1GB of ram, a 40GB hard drive that only has 30 minutes of screen time..
If I had no PC, and I only had £100 to spend, I'd absolutely go for one of these instead of buying a used laptop.

Those top reviews for this piece of e-waste surely are bought. Amazon should take action or perhaps they are in such a powerful position that losing a few customers over these scams doesn't matter.
Just happened across your channel. I appreciate your knowledge and willingness to be candid. Looking forward to more content from you. 👍🏾👍🏾
Always
At that price you are better off buying a used ThinkPad I got a 2012 version that runs Windows 11 and Office etc great. It cost me just over £110 UKP. in great condition.
Can't knock them people for selling their trash on Amazon. Who buys non reputable company electronics? You could have gotten a cheap Acer laptop from Walmart for the same price with warranty.
kept seeing this and kept refusing to buy it as the original price was over a thousand pound and they were selling it for £299.00, i nearly did buy it but then thought it was to good to be true, it looks like i was right after seeing this video, so thank you. it seems my tablets would work better than this.
For a thousand pounds you think everything would be made out of gold lol 😂😂🤣🤣😂😂
Dude I cleared out my buy list to afford this and was about to hit Buy when a little birdie in my head said "Maybe you'd better try for some 3rd party insight on this first". Im surprised it's here. It's on hold now. This wasn't a deal breaker yet. It's not looking so good. Thanks a bunch.
buy a used dell latitude instead!
great video to expose this fraud of a laptop. Great comparison as well with the minecraft showing both laptops and the huge difference
Buying a laptop on budget. Get a secondhand laptop maybe? HP laptops with SSD should be okay
then the OS is modified because Windows 11 will not work on a Celeron. There are an influx of Chinese companies putting out crap. I would dump the bios and examine with a hex editor. I bet dimes to dollars that the OS is backdoored.
The look you made when you opened it up! Brilliant! 🤣 Great video as always!
Wow, the slow connection problem is entirely caused by using a hotspot, and not enough ram! Try connecting via ethernet and adding some memory, I bet they will make all the difference
Yes obviously something was wrong with the connection (or network configuration).
Even 10 years older laptop will connect faster.
As suggested here too, use a proper isolated Guest network for this type of situation.
I also felt super skeptical just looking at the price. I couldn't really rely on the reviews of the product as they were mostly from elderly or facebook moms. So, thank u for this review
I don't know why you are all hung up on running Windows 11 on a Celeron Processor. It may not be a speed demon, but I have three mini-computers with Celeron processors running in my home lab, and Windows 11 runs just fine. I'm not disagreeing that you have a crappy computer, but running a Celeron doesn't disqualify it from being a real computer. And BTW, "5000mAh" does not mean "5000 Million Hours"; it means "5000 milliamp hours". It's the same way all laptop batteries are rated.
Hey, my mother went out and bought somehow, a 2 core cpu i3-7th gen 2.2 ghz, with 1 tb of storage ( HDD of course, for ultra slow boot and work) and 8 gb of 1800 mhz ram for something like 600 bucks, so the laptop you're showing compared to this one might even look decent !! To top it all out this laptop is not even 2 years old....
Just watched your video. You had me on the floor laughing when describing this laptop, especially when trying to use the trackpad while playing Minecraft. Thanks so much for my early morning entertainment. 😂
FYI - I can't believe how all those people would not do their research. I don't understand how anyone would buy or trust a generic laptop from China. Thanks for literally blowing the "back lid" off this laptop! Still laughing!
It's not their fault, there're older. This is something non sympathetic people will never understand
Faaaak.....I feel for it dude.
Walmart has them on flash sale and I for the 17" one. It should be here soon and I'm now really disappointed in my self for not looking into it more 😢😢
The author doesn't know that Celeron N5095 is not a 10 years old processor. Also, the author didn't mention why that build is awful on the inside. The battery capacity was always in mAh, where m stands for mili. Overall lack of knowledge is very noticeable by an experienced technician...
My Jumper EZ Book pro from 2017 is still going strong. What's up with Jumper?
This was more hilarious than expected 😂 got yourself a new subscription here
I've only ever heard of SGIN just a few days ago. Pretty much the same specs but a ridiculous 32GB of RAM 😂 well yeah, would be nice... If the other components could make something of the potential. Now i know it's even worse than i expected
I recently purchased this same laptop with the 17” screen, I use it at my workplace for light duties and it works fine.
I paid $289 on Amazon and I feel it is totally worth it.
RUclips and other websites pull up fast.
I am a person that actually bought this laptop (17” screen) and it does everything I expected it to do for the price.
Of course it’s not as fast as my 12.9 2TB IPad Pro or any of my other IPads, I use only Apple devices in my personal life, but for my workplace I needed a inexpensive Windows laptop and I’m not willing to spend a lot of money on a Windows laptop as I don’t like Windows devices.
Cheers, Davyo
Stop the 🧢
Yeah me too its a £300 laptop your not going to get Sony performance what you will do is save £500!!!!
I did the same got one for school.
Pretty sure my old 2010 Dell inspiron blew this garbage away
My AMD a4 laptop solos this laptop too
You got what you paid for ........not happy ? Send it back, Amazon takes returns......if it gets too many returns attributed to this supplier it will cut them off.
Love that amazon packaging. They literally threw brown toilet paper in there
I cant believe i can buy a 2018 or newer macbook pro for the same price used. This is disgusting. The ppl leaving those reviews are old ppl that have used outdates computers on windows xp for years and years
To put it in context and correct. This appears to have a cpu announced in 3Q 2021. It is four cores with typical DPT of 15 watts. That's decent actually. It's faster than I5-7200U, a very popular CPU announced in 2016, that powered many popular brand name laptops. There is no reason this machine, as the specs appear to be, shouldn't run youtube videos decently and be usable for browsing, office applications etc, unless the chipset is weird, but that is highly unlikely. Your wifi configuration is suspect, perhaps wrong drivers or configuration. Single memory channel is not going to slow it down that much or any other reasonable factor. Gaming though, will hardy be its forté.
That said, the 'reviews' are fake, just as the 'discount'. The N series CPU (Celeron) and the laptop is a typical low cost offering for third world consumers.
The price is decent by the looks of it, but a second hand Thinkpad is something I would consider instead of a new low power laptop.
Actually, it could be, that's why you should always do clean instal OS from your own usb stick when using that kind of knock off laptop, because preinstalled could have been modified.
Was looking at this because I'm trying to get something to replace my Chromebook, getting into 3d modeling and this is the best option according to Amazon. But honestly with this I just feel like I've hit a wall in terms of finding something that's gonna work for me lol, good video ✨
If you want something cheap and durable, used Thinkpads are often an excellent option. I would find someone who is in the business of refurbishing, and read feedback on the seller. I got one for my Mom years ago, screen was amazing and it's been really durable.
@@Raletia I actually bought a 2nd hand (cash converters) thinkpad about a year ago. it's been flawless. generous hdd too. the only downside was no cd/dvd tray, so, I got an external one powered by usb and it does what I want it to do. it's fast, connects to the internet, has a fingerprint sensor (which is good) for signing in. I also have a couple of microsoft surfaces (bought from the same place) and can use the ms stylus on both devices (despite CC claiming the stylus didn't work - if you're not doing it right, it won't - it works as it should do!) even better - the surface tablet was £99 with the 'faulty' stylus - which, after looking it up online, should cost about £70. so I'm the one laughing! 2nd hand is usually pretty good if you look for known brands.
So, not a scam, just a $369 laptop. No further expectations.
think if you paid
the laptop for $396 than the bank account loses the $1.3M from $396 laptop and never says about the laptop price was changed before you order it
Thank you for saving me for making a big mistake. I don’t know anything about computers but my kids needed one and I was gonna get two because it was five star ratings off of Amazon and you couldn’t beat the price with the 80% discount discount or not it’s a piece of Doodoo.
I bought a laptop from Amazon 3 months ago. I couldn’t use it till I got WiFi. Then I found it doesn’t have Word (the only thing I wanted), at least 2 keys don’t work, and I can’t enter any email address, as the @ doesn’t work. Robbed.
Are you able to use virtual keyboard?
even if these laptop appear at cheaper prices its just because there are less-noticeable defects or the laptop would not last after a few months
so kindly avoid these
Please keep reviewing junk. 💜
I have to find them 🕵️
No, he'll get demonetized if he reviews someone's junk
@@ArthropodSpidey😂
@@DayoAworunseI just bought this a few hours ago on amazon but was a bit suspicious that there wasn't a manufacturer listed in the listing.
I entered the model number on RUclips and saw your video.
5 seconds later I was able to (Thank God 🙏) cancelled my order.
I bought this for my sons GCSE needs.
I'm so glad to have seen your video.
Can you recommend something decent I can grab on black Friday later this month.
I'm weary of amazon listings now and would love to get advice on a platform to buy from.
My budget is around £500 ish.
I would be extremely grateful for your help.
Thank you so much 🙏
😂😂😂😂😂 the box alone is a laugh
I tried my hard not to laugh 😂
"Nice laptop". You made a pretty funny product review. Why you buyed it ? Anyway buy something marked as Asus, Acer etc. If you will saving money they have Low-End laptops and High-End laptops. Everyone's choice. Don't stop with reviews. Tahnk you.
This a good $40 dollar laptop to run a lite Linux distro and use it basically as a typewriter connected to a printer. Or social media, Netflix, surfing the web, RUclips, but not with Windows.
This was a funny review 😂
Yahoo writers are the MVP
how can it be scam if says its a celeron cpu on it and you buy it for more than 50$ and why would anybody running apple turn their noise up at stuff made in china, this a great example of how people have no idea how the hardware they run works, its celeron dude what did you think going to be, you can get a Ryzen laptop for the money spent
Nobody is turning their nose up at things made in China. Most laptops, including apple, are made in China. The scam is the selling price when there are better laptops at the same price without a 70% discount
This certainly is one of the laptops of all time.
Scam or not I don’t know, but you look astonishing with the word “celeron” and finally you said that celeron is from 2011!!!!!
Celeron is still in production till today, and this laptop processor is from 2022 I think.
How the hell you are reviewing a laptop since you don’t have this simple fact ??!!!
Not wishing to defend the laptop but did you make sure windows wasn't downloading, patching and upgrading in the background as you have just unboxed it..
What an awesome review... I'm definitely going to buy this laptop....
and give it to my worst enemy.
Now that's just evil
