    Hey there!

    I just bought Clevo-based laptop with chassis NB60TA on Intel Pentium Gold G5420 and 8Gb ram. It cost 660$
    https://aliexpress.com/item/4000400702740.html

    First question, is it a good deal?

    Second question, where can I find in-depth review of this chassis? What processor can I place in future? What’s the limits?

    Third, I read that this chassis sometime goes with oled panel. Can I upgrade in future?

    Generally people ask before buying... panel swaps can be done but require the connector and physical mounting to be the same. (Eg 30 pin eDP.)

    Ye, understand. Already understood that oled option is for another laptop. Not a problem.

    But CPU’s are 100% switchable and I already saw some examples of upgrading. I’m just looking for a full list of supported processors.
