An expert from the TechnoMax YouTube channel tested gaming laptops from two Chinese brands: Machenike and
Host of the TechnoMax YouTube channel in one ofreleases, I found out how little-known Chinese laptop models behave in games. Among them – Thunderobot 911Plus with a 17-inch diagonal, Core i7-12700H processor and RTX 3060 graphics card, as well as Machenike S15 with a 15-inch screen, Core i7 12700H and RTX 3050 Ti.
You can see the main characteristics of these models below.

According to the expert, the most interesting of theseparameters is that the laptops have a new Core i7-12700H processor installed. At the same time, together with the top-end video cards RTX 3060 and RTX 3050 Ti, the devices are inexpensive: Machenike – approximately 90 thousand rubles, Thunderobot – about 110 thousand rubles.
It is important to say about the quality of the displays.Thunderobot, like Machenike, has the most popular matrices today. Thunderobot has a BOE NV173FHM-NX4, and the screen brightness is only 250 cd/m2, refresh rate – 144 Hz, response time – 16 ms. In general, this display is not bad, but it cannot be called the best. Machenike has a BOE NV156FHM-NX4 matrix, display brightness and refresh rate – exactly the same as the competitor (250 cd/m2 and 144 Hz), but the response time is 20 ms.
The SSD capacity in both cases is 512 GB. Its read speed is 3000 MB/s, write speed – 530 Mb/s. That's pretty decent. It is also possible to expand the memory by another 1 TB.
At the same time, the speakers on both Thunderobot and Machenike are terrible. Therefore, when playing, you will need to use headphones.
The battery capacity here is only 40 Wh. Therefore, it is definitely impossible to call these laptops leaders in terms of autonomy.
When it comes to performance, the bestThe results were shown by Thunderobot with an RTX 3060: among games, its best performance was in Days Gone (104 fps, 1080p, high graphics settings), the worst – in Cyberpunk (68 fps, 1080p, high graphics settings). You can see all the measurements below. Overall, the RTX 3060 showed 25% greater performance than the RTX 3050 Ti.

The cooling system works well in both cases. Specialists managed to heat laptop processors to 91 degrees – in the game Cyberpunk 2077. There was no throttling.
When testing the heating of a video card from Machenike withwith a lower TDP value the result was 70 degrees, Thunderobot with a higher TDP value – 76 degrees. The noise level for gaming laptops for these models was average, the presenter added.

Conclusion
Thunderobot 911Plus and Machenike S15 laptopsare very interesting solutions. Even their shortcomings cannot be called critical. If you are looking for a budget gaming laptop and don't care about battery life, webcam, sound or design, then these models can be a good choice.
