Maibenben X658 is a flagship laptop

The Chinese brand Maibenben decided to take a serious step as a manufacturer of devices for the IT industry. Despite the needs of buyers from the budget segment, the company has focused on gamers. Whether this is good or bad, time will tell. Or rather, sales. But the novelty Maibenben X658 attracted attention. And there is a reason.

The design of the laptop is very difficult to explain the first time. It's some kind of gadget from the 2000s. When design in the IT world has not even been heard. The appearance of the device is slightly disappointing. But not stuffing. In symbiosis with the price, it is simply pleasing to the eye. And all these shortcomings, in terms of design, simply fade into the background. After all, the Maibenben X658 is a gaming laptop and is planned to be installed on the desktop.

It is rather strange that the choice is made in favor of the AMD platform. This can be a stumbling block for players who prefer Intel-branded products. But this is where all the shortcomings end. Given the cost, all impressions are only positive.

Maibenben X658 laptop - impressions

 

The weak point in the Maibenben X658 laptop is the odd combination between performance and screen. The user will definitely not notice problems in games. If you mean applications running at medium quality settings. But the question arises:

 

  • What is stated 2560 x 1600, 165 Hz. Name at least one modern game that can give performance on the GeForce RTX 3060. There are none. We buy a very cool display, but we will not be able to realize its potential.

Naturally, such questions lead to confusion. What is the point of the manufacturer. Declared a chic display. But the performance of the system simply does not reach the desired level. You can find a way out. For example, a laptop for a blogger. It's good for video editing. But then again, FullHD would have been more enjoyable, or 4K. And here is something in between. The Chinese approached the issue in a very strange way. Especially 165 Hz for a video card of the middle segment.
