Orange is the new black. Is the distinctive design and lucent orange color enough for the Chimera to stand out in the crowded mobile gaming space? We dig deeper to find that this is more than just a flashy chassis.

My boyfriend's Chimera CX-9 Notebook lasted approx.. 1 year. He's not the kind of gamer that over uses systems. He treats them like they are his world.

And it blew up. When I say it blew up, I mean that flames and smoke billowed out of the charging pin. He took off everything connected to it, and finally grabbed the charging pin. Upon touching it the plastic melted into his thumb and burned through. It also gave him quite a shock. Took it to a local repair guy; and it's toast. Actually toast. Everything in it is black. There's melted plastic and warped transistors on the motherboard.

Tried to get at least some form of decency or help from the iBuyPower team, and they gave us nada, because his one year warranty ended one week before this happened. 0 stars all over.
