On the Wish site they are selling brand new 15.6 inch Xiaomi Mi Notebook Pro for $31 AUD

https://www.wish.com/search/laptop#c...58695f32ffb1f2
Specs include:
Model Mi Notebook Pro 15.6 inch
OS Windows 10
Core Quad Core,1.8GHz
CPU Intel Core i7-8550U
Graphics Capacity 2G
Graphics Chipset NVIDIA GeForce MX150
Graphics Type Graphics Card

CPU Series Core i7
Storage
Hard Disk Interface Type PCI-E
Hard Disk Memory 256GB SSD
RAM 16GB
RAM Slot Quantity One
RAM Type DDR4
So what is the catch?
Apparently it is a superseded model
It definitely is shipped with Windows 10 64bit Home Single Language Simplified Chinese Edition.
It may also come with a Chinese keyboard instead of an English key board but the pictures I have seen shows a qwerty keyboard.
Unless you are fluent in Chinese, you will need to install Windows 10 English and possibly purchase a wireless/ bluetooth qwerty keyboard.
Apparently installing the windows 10 English language is neither expensive nor time consuming if you know how.
There is quite a bit of information on the internet about how to go about doing this
Anyway, if you are looking for a new high performance computer for around $50 and are computer savvy this certainly looks interesting.
I am tempted to buy one and just install a linux distro on it
