A supposed bargain is currently causing considerable discussion: The Chuwi CoreBook X, which is officially advertised with an AMD Ryzen 5 7430U, has an older Ryzen 5 5500U installed. This not only raises the question of performance, but above all the trust in the manufacturer's product specifications.
It doesn’t just have the wrong processor, it’s been modified at the firmware level to reflect in the system a CPU that’s not installed.
So just plain fraud
Completely.
They’ve been doing this for probably as long as they’ve been in business.
Whoa. That’s fucked. I expected the story was more of a “we should have called this one the LaptopBook XI instead of X like the last model, and resellers really fucked up the listing.”
I was extremely wrong.
Reality is it’s more of a “5090 on eBay is really a 5060ti with flashed baloney firmware” job. (I’m an AMD guy don’t @ me)
