Question About the laptops of Colorful.

[strazz]

So I was thinking of getting a new gaming laptop and came across the Colorful X15, its an offer I cant not look at as its considerably cheaper BUT can i trust this brand, ive never heard of it and all the reviews on YT are chinese. So if its trusted i might buy it, let me
know if I should go ahead with it or find a slightly worse laptop for the same price but it’s completely trustworthy.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

What is the make and model of your current laptop?

I'd invest in an established brand. Colorful aren't exactly experienced in this front and as such there's a high possibility that you're going to end up being the guinea pig to their mistakes. Lack of BIOS updates being one of them. Drivers you can source from chip/platform maker's support site but BIOS is something someone else won't offer, only the maker of the device. The fact that you might be seeing a price that's unbeatable could be owed to the fact that no one's buying them and the seller needs to clear their inventory.

My current laptop specs are: GTX 1050, 8GB Ram, i5 8th Gen, 1TB HDD and 60hz. Yes ik its ancient, which is why im looking for a new one. Now that i think about it, youre completely correct, I dont think i should buy a laptop that isnt already well reputed. The laptop i was looking at is the HP Victus 15, the i5 12th gen variation with a GTX 1650. It perfectly fits my budget. Although the max my budget goes till is 830$
