Who would be stupid enough to buy from a no-name brand with no proven track record of support. Never even heard of them.

@Terror Byte Thunderobot isn't a "no-name" brand. It's been around for a while. These laptops are actually sold in physical stores in certain countries.

Horrid blank marking for any peripheral connections. Display partners? People will mark your Aura when it's throwing out 85W...I don't see the standoffs built in...and you've brought charging brickage.

If it does cold plasma cooling that might be nice.
