Does anyone know what barebone is that?

Tong Fang. Though they offered some Clevo chassis in the past, they are now selling rebranded Tong Fang pieces mostly

It looks like a great laptop, and I'm considering buying it. Unfortunately I'm concerned about the currently proposed configurations, and not being able to select the CPU and the GPU separately.

We can only select either a 4800H + a 3060, or a 5800H + a 3080. That doesn't make sense from a technical point of view, it's just a sales/marketing decision. What if I wanted a 5800H + a 3060 ? I have no need for a 3080, but I need a 5800H.

The same thing could be said about RAM and SSD. There's no technical reason for forcing users to pick them together (either 16 GB + 512 GB, or 32 GB + 1 TB).

I hope the manufacturer can consider this and give users more freedom to select the configuration that best suits their needs in the near future.

It's a really good laptop considering everything, but that 65 Whr battery is puny for that horsepower it packs and will barely allow it to even be classified as a proper laptop that can be used for even half the day.

before 4800H with RTX2060 cost US$1249.95
price for 2060 was ~300$, and now similar spec laptop with 3060 cost 250$ more. is 3060 6GB worth 550$ ?
for me its overpriced

I'm still in dead love with my Eluktronic RT1x (Intel i7 - RTX 2070 Max-P). They make great machines! I'll be skipping this model but will definitely be checking out their next models.

I know it's Tong Fang, but I can't find what model anywhere :)
