Looks like the Chinese don’t do so well when they can’t steal someone else’s designs.

I hope Tomshardware does a 'What they promised' vs 'What actually showed up' for gear article.
Certain countries (won't say which) are known for not meeting their promised standards.

I felt compelled to comment, because it's the exact CPU (i7-6700HQ) that I am typing this on...

A nice Gigabyte P35V6 notebook that I love for its versatility, dual M.2 and dual SATA, one as a swappable bay and great compatibility: it runs about every OS I've ever thrown at it, including Windows 11 24H2, and is still not trying your patience in terms of speed.

I wouldn't run HPC or media editing on it but anything 2D it does rather well and it still beats every iGPU known to man with that GTX1070m (8GB VRAM, 32GB RAM). It was originally a gamer laptop and it's still showing.

I've actually run it as a Linux KVM server on occasion, mostly because it's so flexible in storage, it comes with a UPS included (battery still only at 3.8% deterioration) and it' pretty low energy consumption.

The only issus I have with it: when you run 4 operating systems on a box, patch days hit harder...
