[QUOTE="Rezep, post: 2505133, member: 76766"] Long story short, A friend of mine recently went to SP road to a store and went in with the intention of buying an asus tuf f15 (i5 11th gen and rtx 3050) for around 57k ish. Seller however recommended him to take the Vivobook Pro 15 OLED for 58K instead. At first I thought there was hardly any difference between this vivobook pro 15 and the asus tuf he was looking at, the intel outperforms the ryzen by a small margin but the ryzen is also more power efficient albeit it's not really that significant. However I assumed that the display was the same as the tuf f15, that being it was some basic "IPS-LIKE" type display. Turns out it was the OLED display itself. Along with 16 gigs of ram and 512 gb ssd. The very same model is going for 72k online atm. I've checked the very basic settings with my buddy but forgot to install cpu-z and check it properly. But otherwise on surface level, it really seems like a good deal to me. Friend asked me to help him "configure" it, for the most part I just scrolled through the settings as windows 11 and office were all already activated lol. Is there anything suspicious about this and anything else that I should look into? Bill box serial invoice everything matches. Store is Karthik Laptops btw so it isn't some no name one on SP road.
