Amazon has gotten real rough lately. I just helped my parents pick out new laptops, went to "the acer store" on Amazon and picked out an inspire laptop for them. They both came and wouldnt charge so needed to be sent to Acer. Acer sent them back, with a letter saying that there were mon Acer parts installed and they would not put them back in. After calling Acer to find out how this was possible I learned, they do not sell on Amazon. This is just how Amazon lists sellers that sell Acer products...as " the acer store". Anyway i got one of them working fine and aside from the now obvious fact that it was not original it is a great laptop. The other had to be sent back as it had a ton of issues. Seems to me like someone just salavaged a bunch of doa laptops and mixed and matched parts then sold them on Amazon as brand new. Also Amazon seemed completely unphased at how counterintuitive it is to buy from "the acer store" when nothing is coming from Acer.

As a gateway enjoyer that introduced me to laptop gamingâŚleave them alone man theyâre trying lol I bought the gateway creator laptop that came with a GTX2060 and let me tell you almost 3 years later and Iâve played every new major game without a problem. Iâm currently playing MK1 on my laptop and my runs of cyberpunk and BG3 have been awesome.

I think Gateway is now used by Acer for branding budget laptops in Walmart, which would explain the Walmart inventory sticker. If their earlier laptops are an indication theyâre ODM laptops so expect some similar designs elsewhere. A year or 2 ago they had a creator laptop with a RTX 2060 and that was a decent device (albeit an ODM design so very similar to other devices)

The gateway Laptop is using a tablet motherboard. However, many of those cheap Laptops are using tablet motherboards pinched from business tablets hence why they came with Windows PRO installed and had modified CPU firmware to make the hole thing function properly if at all. That Ryzen is basically a recycled Intel CPU ....As the saying goes in China "If there's a way to cheat, you cheat".

You actually missed a huge part here for a vid titled "shady" and saying it's about "can you trust"... you didn't even once check the laptops for their bloatware and especially if they have malware pre-installed.
That's actually the big issue with no-name electronics, they extremely often come pre-loaded with malware, just check out similar videos on Android set top boxes, etc.

It should be illegal for companies to reward you if you leave a good review. Contractors in my area love to ârequest a 5 star reviewâ which is unbelievably tacky.
