Don't Buy This Laptop Scam On Amazon ( I did )

- Опубликовано: 3 май 2023
- SGIN, jumper, and a slew of other companies have been ranking as top laptops of Amazon. I decided to bite the bullet and see how these 73-75% off products are and how other reviewers are saying it's a steal or value for your money. Below are laptops that I believe are actually worth the price with better upgradability

It's Chinese garbage like many Amazon products lol
I'm glad the box said "laptop". Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to tell if I bought a laptop.

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.
Sponsors is ok. They need to make money.
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.
@@alecbiswell-ayres5084 The storage is a flash card not SSD Is one massive problem on top of that. it's a fake m.2.
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
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.
Yeah they already changed there name
@@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!
@@jacobsladder5262 im guesting the next website to scam the customers are Wish
for £300
They change name ANMESC Laptop😂
these cost $20 to produce
Just happened across your channel. I appreciate your knowledge and willingness to be candid. Looking forward to more content from you. 👍🏾👍🏾
Always
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.
Just received mine today. Glad I saw this review. He’s right slow, cheap product. I’m returning mine tomorrow
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.
@@jjcdrumplay 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.
@@jjcdrumplay you won't find any place you might swap in a faster component, except the SSD
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!
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.)
Does it run good for the sims 4?
@@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 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.
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!
Amazon needs a watchdog for the products they sell, or 3 party sellers. Thanks for your service and style
amazon dont care. there making money off it..
People buying this purely based on the alleged "discount" shouldn't be allowed to undertake computer shopping unsupervised 😂 blows my mind
Good point
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.
@@Alexander0189 The specs are worth 300 bucks. It's a 2021 celeron quad core processor with ddr4 ram and M.2 SSD.
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 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.
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.
@@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.
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.
@@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!
Well i bought it. Its crap.
Great Video!!!!
Thank you very much for your diligence in exposing the evil they do to scam us.
Oh dear. What a mess.
You just saved ppl a bunch of heartache 😢
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.
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.
@@frgleeany chance you may want to tell us the name of this 'decent' company?...pretty Please? 😊
My laptop was £170 down from £1700
(Refurbished ThinkPad X1 yoga, best thing I've ever bought)
This for making this vid! My mom was considering buying a jumper laptop on amazon, and it's hard to find genuine reviews
I love your facial reaction after opening the back case
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.
Thanks for the sub 😁
Just RETURN IT if you don't like it! This is NOT a scam!
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.
@@davidruzzo5806𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬
@@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.
The packing material said everything. I love your no nonsense direct presentation. No blather, just right to the point. Instant subscribe.
I went to the article today. It is now $299.00 (78% off). This is really pitiful for Amazon to allow this item to be sold on their site.
Why? It is perfectly adequate for school college or media consumption
@@reluctentninja because its fake. They probably steal your info on the laptops just like acemagic laptops
@@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
@@reluctentninja My point was you can get better for the same price the laptop is junk for the price.
THNX bro you do a noble job keeping people from being scammed
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
@@adamtajhassam9188 There's always exceptions to the rule. Defective unit % on these no-name brands will always be higher than reputable brands.
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.
So good you exposed this! It is STILL on Amazon as shown. So glad to have learned from your video! Thank you!!
Love that an Amazon ad popped up during this.
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.
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.
lol @traptop. Stealin that and adding: craptop 😁
Trashtop
Awesome video! Very informative and thank you! Keep up the great work and hope to see more of your work!!.
OK, this is the first time I have come across one of your post. I've been working on computers from my first Apple IIe, so I've been around for a little while. LMAO watching you as you go through this system. When you popped it open yep had to laugh with you. the mobo looks like something you would find in a mini media player (also out of china) as I have been looking at a few. 3/4 the way through your presentation I logged on and subscribed to your channel.
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
Just saw the prime day sales on a Jumper laptop and was intrigued by the price and specs. Thanks for saving me the hassle!
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 😢😢
Charismatic and to the point. I will definitely be back for more. Keep up the good work
The look you made when you opened it up! Brilliant! 🤣 Great video as always!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
😅 Just thought about something like that.
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.
So glad I came on here to check for reviews. I was just about to purchase a Jumper. I searched online for reviews, and while I still just didn't feel good about it, that price and the features were definitely swaying me.
Found this channel, love the quality and how you present the products.
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.
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.
@@JoeBob79569 I do everything on my iPhone
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.
That's called MARKETING, FREE ENTERPRISE! It is NOT a scam!
@@davidruzzo5806 Everything is a scam when you have the common sense of a budgie.
@@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.

>That's called MARKETING
So, a scam
Ohh thanks so much fella ! I was about to put this into my amazon wish list. All the other reviews were people reading the the specs or idiots just plugging in and unboxing.

Thank you for the heads-up, it was really useful.
This inexpensive laptop would probably great for watching Amazon Prime or Netflix, managing your e-mail, and preforming word processing. I have an Acer TravelMate Spin B311R-32, a much smaller 11.6 inch laptop; and it runs a bunch of programs if you manage it to control it from overheating. It is quite a screamer. Thank you for the entertaining video! Oh, have you visited Kohl's and checked the sticker prices?
great video to expose this fraud of a laptop. Great comparison as well with the minecraft showing both laptops and the huge difference
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
You saved me. I don’t know anything about PC specs and I was about to order this. I’m subscribing
Thank you, Dayo, you did an excellent job on this video as with all of your posts.
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
Yep. Everything about this video. Editing. Humor. You're a hero. Subbed.
My first video in your channel - I like it, subbed
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.
Bro, this is really helpful. My sister-in-law was gravitating towards this Laptop because of the supposed 75% off discount. Now this video demolished that desire COMPLETELY and she will stay away from Jumper as well.
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.
Thank you! Doing laptop buying research [Black Friday deals].
You're absolutely hilarious. I love your videos!!!😂😂😂
Informative, honest and funny thank you for sharing
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
That TV with aquarium in the background is sick!
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!
Love your TV screen with the fishes, cool
yo the quality of your camera is sick
good video btw
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.
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.
Thanks for this video. Shopping for my kids Christmas and it’s great info on what to avoid!!
I've been looking for an upgrade to my current laptop & have seen a lot of these 'generic' kinds like you've reviewed. Thanks to your video, I've stopped myself from wasting my money on them, but I'm just wondering if the Fsjun ones fall into the same scam category?
Brilliant review. Excellent presenter. Informative and amusing.
This is a common trick on amazon the entire discount trick to make it look like it's a good deal. The laptop is functional and everything but you are paying for ancient hardware for something you should've paid for 5 years ago. Amazon does not do anything about these and does not verify sale discounts either. From the looks of it's a OEM laptop that they bought and are flipping (lack of branding on the laptop)
Thanks dude, I saw the one by Jumper just now and was considering to buy it until I saw your video!
Omg, one of the funniest things I've seen lately (love your sponsor!). It looks like it couldn't even pass the smell test. Monaural sound using two speakers! "Ewww...." is not one of the adjectives usually needed by reviewers. Brilliantly entertaining watch. Just hope no one buys one of these.
Subscribed, thanks!
😂😂😂😂😂 the box alone is a laugh
I tried my hard not to laugh 😂
I bought one works fine very fast, was cheap and cheerful. the usb charges my phone . perhaps i got a good one
Yoooo its a black Friday one this year. You saved me!!! Youre a hero
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.
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.
Thanks for the warning about these laptops.
they made it really EASY to report them
Sell Imac from 1.3M to £250
No one would ever made something for high price for £250 where they selling it way much
1. Both of the Yahoo reviewers were comparing this to an entry level HP that also has a cheap Celeron or maybe even an Atom.
2. I'd rather see someone buy a used business class laptop than to buy this new. I saw how much modulus flex this chassis has, it's unusable in my office for my hands. Cheap Toshiba Satellites from 2007 are much more durable than this.
Hey I had a Toshiba Satellite 😁
Thanks to the sponsor of this video haha. What a terrible product. EVERYONE please don't trust what you read as a review online without more research.
Good on Dayo for calling this product out. 👍
The sponsor appreciates you
And I thought my Acer Aspire 3 was a pos. Love the sponsor as always lol.

I recently saw a Jumper laptop on Amazon for $279. An intel Celeron, with 4 whole whopping GB of RAM and only 128 GB of storage. Windows 11 allocates 64GB. This laptop also came with a 1 year subscription to MS Office, which takes up another 10GB.. leaving you with ab out 50 GB of usable storage. I wouldn't run any PC on less than 8GB of RAM... 16 or more is better. I could just imagine how slow that laptop would run. Even at $279, it was a scam, being marketed to people that have no clue about PCs.. and given that its back to school season, I'd be willing to bet that a lot of grandparents are buying these for kids going to college. I feel sorry for those kids.
Now for this laptop:
1:30 Storage space is listed as ROM on the "Laptop" box. Rom and Storage memory are 2 completely different things.. HUGE red flag.
Soldered on RAM.. another huge red flag.
The reviews are for this laptop are fakes. Bought and sold
Do not buy this piece of junk or the Jumper laptop. They are complete junk
you were amazing and I loved the video. Keep up the great work. My ex balked at me paying $1500 for my Dell laptop but I have had it since 2016, maxed out the RAM, added a Larger SSD and it fly's and I have it on 24/7 with never a problem. Meanwhile she gets a cheap Walmart HP and it dies after a year and a half. So thanks for pointing out what true value means. You truly do get what you pay for.
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.
Perhaps the light being on while the computer is "off" is associated with the computer wirelessly monitoring you (for China) while you think it is off.
I nearly got this so glad I watched your video 😮 subscribed
I enjoyed your way of presentation. Thanks alot you are really a good work. Helping people from scams. I was not expecting this from amazon. I will be careful.
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.
rule 1 dont buy of communist china. buy local made stuff
I expect the reason there's no branding on the laptop or the box is it allows them to sell the same identical unit under a couple dozen different names, making it all that much harder to catch the scam. Of course, we **KNOW** Amazon is getting a kickback from the scammers making the product, it seems it's the only way products show up in any searches on Amazon. I remember looking for a laptop IDE-to-SD adapter, and there was probably listings of the exact same item (down to the picture) listed under 100 different 'brand names' (most of them unpronouncable).
The only way products like this are getting any play on Amazon is that they are part of the fraud itself.
I was actually surprised the MSATA was actually removable; I was expecting them to pull an Apple and weld it to the motherboard along with the memory. I'm guessing the reason the storage is accessible from a panel on the bottom is because they probably pre-image the storage with whatever fraud-brand they're shipping it under, so all they have to do is open a small panel to install the storage for whatever front they're using that week.
BRO i love your videos !!!
