Illegear or Tongfang barebones is great if you are lucky if it didn't has small and random issues here and there.

I love my Onyx GTX1060, but it has encountered faulty keyboard flex cable, swollen battery and sudden-dead GPU within 2.5 years of usage and I don't game heavily much.

Also out of warranty repair cost is super expensive from official, and it's hard to find replacement parts locally too.

Tbh there's too much risk in Illegear laptop by looking at other vendors who also sell Tongfang barebones. I rather choose a well known brand that has big user base and stable qc. Also easier to troubleshoot if you're having problems, especially getting replacement parts.

I'd say buying electronic really depends on your luck.

My Onyx V Ryzen does not have issues. The only one time I sent back for servicing is reformat and re-install command centre (license expired because of wrong version installed).

My other friends using Illegear laptops for many years, 4 of them don't have problems, 1 of them has battery issue.
