CPU fraud, next round: Chuwi CoreBook Plus with supposed AMD Ryzen 5 7430U also affected

[Mate]

Nvidia has been cheating with every Laptop GPU version, for years. Each Laptop GPU tier is 1 tier below the Desktop GPU tier

Nvidia is not hiding anything. INfo that RTX 4080 mobile is RTX 4070 desktop in disguise is not secret.
For them its simple target market segment
xx50 - budget
xx60 - low end
xx70 - mid end
xx80 - high end
xx90 - super high end

If you got caught on that 'fraud' then you simply didnt read anything. Its not even written with small font. Also enthusiast know that desktop >> laptop performance-wise so yeah..

Its completely different situation than Chuwi.

The effort to hide the alteration is quite extensive. It is not possible Chuwi did this by "accident". The funny part is how Chuwi obviously believed they could get away with it. This reminds me of the inflated capacity of Chinese batteries and usb drives, or GPUs on Aliexpress that are relabelled old stuff but advertised as something recent.

first comments sound like some Chuwi PR to downplay the issue..?

The fact of cheating to sell something different to what is advertised, is not just misleading, it is an offence: a fraud by false representation, intending to make a gain.

Chuwi is now on my blacklist and I d recommend impacted people to request a refund so that it discourages companies to act with dishonest.

100% correct Chuwi is on my blacklist too.
I remember just prodding chatgpt about another chuwi product and it warned me unpromoted that it's included Type C charger only operates at one voltage/current so 'dumb' usb c devices may get fried by it. I thought it was ridiculous (in 2026? Type C? Frying devices?) and thought the AI was hallucinating and then brought an actual forum page complaining that issue. So yeah, if they're skimping on literal CPUs, what else would they skimp on? These are only things that got caught!
