【Q&A】Q：Why are the prices of some products incorrect?A：Distributors will adjust prices based on inventory, and the global pandemic has caused significant price fluctuations, which is normal.We recommend price ranges that are generally acceptable, for example, I recommend purchasing the R9000P 2021 model within 7500 yuan, and exceeding that is not highly recommended.

Q：Why did you keep some old laptops?A：Because some new products have been released, but not all have been launched, a small portion of old inventory is still worth buying, so they are temporarily retained.

Q：Why are there some new products that have been released, but they are not recommended?A：Most laptops are purchased and tested by the evaluation team at their own expense, so if the manufacturer does not provide a testing machine and the e-commerce platform is generally out of stock, we cannot quickly obtain the computer for testing.We will wait until we can test the real machine before deciding whether to recommend it.

Q：Why are some previously reviewed laptops not recommended?A：It may be because the product’s overall competitiveness is average, and after consideration, we decided not to recommend it for the time being, or it may be because we “don’t understand its beauty,” so it wasn’t recommended.As the saying goes, “Money can’t buy happiness,” if you really like a certain model but we haven’t recommended it, it is advisable to follow your own will to purchase.
