The laptop as specced looks great on paper. I wonder if somebody in the Forum who owns this laptop might give some feedback on its real-life performance.
(To notice: spec-wise, there is no rated panel brightness (Nits) in the PCS website and it is not available from PCS sales reps either, as apparently is not provided by TongFang)
An assessment on any of the following: the panel brightness, the noise level at various loads, the thermal performance, the keyboard/trackpad/ports usability, and the overall reliability of the machine would be very helpful.
I tried to find a video review, but could not find any.
There are some video reviews on youtube on a MAG 15u model from a US company ( Eluktronics) which uses a similar Tongfang barebone. However, the MAG 15u seems to differ in several aspects from the Fusion IV:
a) It provides thermal management software with different profiles in order to match performance vs heat & noise
b) It comes with a Glass Microsoft Precision (PTP) Touchpad.
c) The IPS Panel ( in the reviews) is measured at 94%sRGB Gamut, 329 Nits max brightness & 880:1 contrast ratio, which is pretty good considering the price point.
d) The CPU is an 8th Generation i7-8565u Quad Core.
Any feedback, even a partial review, will be greatly appreciated, thanks for the help!!
