Yup. Looking at the other brands in Wal-Mart, those having equivalent i5 CPUs and similar features/components put them around US$500 and higher. This one cost less than the Lenovo 11.6" laptop I got for my kid (dualcore Celeron with HT, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD, 1366x768).

I questioned the quality of the Ryzen 5 Motile-branded laptops. But, so far, the YouTube reviews have been very positive, esp for the price.

I'll probably stick with my old ASUS G46VW (i5-3230m, GTX 660m) because it's designed for gaming. The silent dual cooling fans and efficient venting keep temperatures below 68C at the worst case (playing Fallout 4 or Doom 2016, low settings).

I'm still tempted though.
