Save on purchase

What is CASHBACK and what it is eaten with

Cashback(from the English. cashback) - the ability to return some of the money spent on the purchase. The return is "live" money.

A brief sequence of actions:
1. We register on the selected cashback service.
2. From the cashback service website, go to the store where you plan to make a purchase.
3. Make a purchase.
Cashback is charged after confirmation of receipt of purchase. Terms of withdrawal cashback each service has its own.
If you intend to use more than one cashback service (not at the same time, of course, but in general), then it is not recommended to install browser extensions from any cashback services.
Using cashback and various coupons does not depend on each other and does not exclude each other. You can simultaneously use both cashback and coupons.

Just in case, I remind you that the publication of referral links to cashback services is prohibited in both posts and in the online table.

Important!On AliExpress, cashback is not charged when buying from MALL category sellers, provided that the seller is registered in Russia. In all other cases, including when sending goods from Russia, cashback is charged.

We save on exchange rates

When making purchases on foreign websites, it should be borne in mind that when choosing a price display in rubles on a website, the conversion rate is often not very profitable. In most cases, the purchase can be paid in US dollars even if you have a card in your national currency (the issuing bank performs the conversion in this case). Therefore, before buying, it makes sense to check the price in your national currency, in US dollars, calculate the conversion rate and compare it with the conversion rate of your bank (as a rule, it is indicated on the bank's website).
AliExpress:Horse rate, compare conversion rate with your bank;
Banggood:Often the exchange rate in Russian rubles is quite profitable;
Gearbest:often a horse course, but sometimes it is quite acceptable and even profitable;
Lightinthebox:probably the most exorbitant rate, + 13-15% to the official, payment in dollars with the conversion of your bank is certainly significantly more profitable;
PayPal:horse exchange rate, it is strongly recommended to select bank conversion in settings (Settings =>Payments =>Payment Management =>Set available funding sources =>Conversion options =>Please invoice me in the currency indicated in the seller’s invoice). Accordingly, the seller’s price should be in US dollars.
Yandex money:Horse Course is not recommended.

Bank Loyalty Cards

Accrued 5% of the purchase price on AliExpress. Accruals are made in points that can be spent on purchases on AliExpress. Conversion into "live" money is impossible.

Debit cardTinkoff AliExpress
Accrued 2% of the purchase price on AliExpress. Accruals are made in points that can be spent on purchases on AliExpress. Conversion into "live" money is impossible.

Rules of the loyalty program "AliExpress - Tinkoff Bank"

According to reviews of several members of the forum, these cards are successfully combined with the use of cashback services, despite the fact that some cashback services write that in the case of using such cards, the cashback may not be accrued.
No one gives you any guarantees, you make a decision on your own, realizing that there is some risk not to get a cashback using these bank cards.

Certificates AliExpress

In the current situation, when cashback is not charged for the purchase of certificates, the practical use of certificates may be that if you return the goods or cancel the payment, you will receive a refund in dollars to your certificate balance, from which you can pay for other goods on AliExpress. You do not lose money on the reverse conversion into your national currency.
Example: paid goods worth $ 100, paying with a ruble bank card. Money is written off in rubles at the rate of sale of currency by your bank, for example, at 60 rubles per dollar. When returning money to a card, the bank again converts them from dollars to rubles, but at the purchase rate, let us assume, at 58 rubles per dollar. As a result, it turns out that you paid 6000 rubles, 5800 rubles returned back. 200 rubles lost on double conversion.

Before you buy and use AliExpress certificates, be sure to read the terms and conditions for their use so that there are no unnecessary questions or misunderstandings.

The official text of the rules and conditions for the use of gift certificates

1. These Terms and Conditions and Terms of Use of AliExpress Gift Certificates ("Rules") apply to gift certificates and their balance ("Gift Certificate Balance") provided to registered AliExpress users on the relevant website (www.aliexpress.com) for shopping online. .

By purchasing a certificate, you enter into an agreement with Alibaba.com Singapore E-Commerce Private Limited under these rules.
2. AliExpress gift certificates can be purchased in the following denominations:
a. US $ 10;
b. US $ 20;
c. US $ 50;
d. US $ 100;
e. US $ 150.
3. AliExpress Gift Certificates are valid for three (3) years after purchase.
4. AliExpress gift certificates can only be used for shopping on AliExpress. To pay for a purchase on AliExpress using a gift certificate, you must select "Gift Certificates" as the payment method when placing the order, and the order value will be calculated from your gift certificate balance. If the value of your order exceeds the amount remaining on the balance of your gift certificate, you can choose other payment methods to pay for the missing part of the order value.
5. AliExpress Gift Certificate can not be used to pay for additional services on Alibaba.com or AliExpress, pay for purchases offline or purchases on other sites.
6. AliExpress gift certificates can be summed up with promotions, sales, discounts. With certificates, you can make purchases from different vendors.

Important! The term "gift certificate" in the Russian version of AliExpress is not translated correctly, it is correctly called the AliExpress Pocket. Keep in mind this nuance when mentioning gift certificates in communication with the seller, because when he sees "gift certificate" in your message, he will not understand what is being said.

Nuances when buying a laptop

When buying a laptop Xiaomi Mi Notebook Air buyer may face some points that are quite obvious to one person and can cause difficulties for another. Everything is solved, but it should be borne in mind:
1.When buying a laptop in China, the seller gives a guarantee, but when the warranty case occurs, the laptop must be sent to China, as a rule, at the expense of the buyer. The approximate cost of shipping from Russia to China via EMS is 2850 r.
2.The laptop is released for sale in China, so Windows 10 is Chinese. This is not a serious problem, there are at least two solutions: a) a cardinal way is to buy a license (the Pro version can be bought for $ 4– $ 8 on eBay); b)hereandhere- Two detailed instructions for reinstalling Chinese Windows 10 to any other with the preservation of the license Windows 10 Home.Discussion of activation issues - in the topics on the respective laptops, in this topic - only the purchase and accessories!
3.The charger has a Type A American-Chinese standard plug. It’s not a fact that the seller puts an adapter in the box with the laptop. And if it does, it is unlikely that it will be of high quality. Therefore, I recommend in advance to take care of a quality adapter or surge protector having an appropriate outlet.
4.Lack of full warranty. All issues related to warranty service, will have to be addressed solely with the seller. Sending a defective laptop back to the seller may be at the buyer's expense (such conditions on AliExpress, for example). Official authorized Xiaomi service centers in Russia (there are already more than 100 of them) deal only with smartphones and accessories purchased from official sellers (of course, at double prices).
5.The lack of spare parts for sale. The only thing that at the moment was able to find - the LCD matrix. But without glass. And SSDs are sold freely.

• Customs legislation

  When sending the parcel, the seller may ask what amount to indicate in the declaration. There is no single answer. You should consider the customs legislation of your country and the volume of your purchases. The seller is responsible for the incorrect indication of the price in the declaration, the payment of possible customs duties lies on the buyer.
  For Russia, you can specify the full cost of the laptop in the event that it is the only laptop in the order and there was not (and is not planned for a month) other expensive purchases. If the seller specifies a lower price and at customs it will be revealed, you, as a buyer, will not be in danger, but you will have to come to the territorial department of customs with evidence of the actual purchase price (screenshot of the lot, order, bank statement, etc. .).

• Keyboard Engraving

  Initially, the keyboard only letters of the Latin alphabet. Apply the national alphabet in two ways: buy stickers or engrave the keyboard. The best quality is achieved when engraving using a solid-state green laser.

  Verified firms

  "Verified" - not a synonym for "quality." Here are links to those companies in which the forum users have already done engraving. The fact that one person liked the result does not mean that you will like it too: there is an assumption that in different batches of laptops the paint on the keys is applied in a different layer (and, possibly, different in composition), so even in the same place the result may be different! Well, subjective perception also has a place to be.
  All addresses and phone numbers are listed for information, without any guarantees that in your case the result will be the same, and, of course, without recommendations, contact the specified companies.

For games, there are other laptops that stand on the table all the time or that they carry in the car and there it is no longer important that it weighs 2 kg or 3 kg.

I consider this laptop not for games, but as a universal, most of the time a portable working machine, which can quickly encode video and work without problems in cad programs, and in the evening you can also play mount or blade or tanks;) I do not argue with him There are competitors, but the combination of characteristics of a laptop from xiaomi is a favorite for me. You are not forced to purchase this laptop.

HellGerhard @ 08/01/2016, 6:30 PM

With such cooling ..., normal copper cooling for 2 sources weighs from 1kg

Yeah, and should include a fluid circuit with Peltier elements and freon cooling. Do not carry nonsense, this processor tdp 15W, the video card is the same 15W. A few heat pipes and 2 fans will suffice, especially if you don’t shove KPT-8 as a thermal paste.

HellGerhard @ 08/01/2016, 6:30 PM

This is the worst metal, especially the difference between mi4 with a frame made of steel, and a tin can of any redmi

Have you personally used this laptop?

[LionZXY]

Twinniewas interested in this. First, the autonomy will fly into the abyss (or you have to spend a week sitting and setting up all sorts of scripts). Secondly, there is a big risk that Wi-Fi and Bluetooth do not work out of the box (we will know for sure after the start of sales). There is nothing more to work there. In general, I would not rely on a stable and good work under Linux.

[t34gambit]

Guys, I live in Beijing! Sales have just begun - and I snatched the younger model! I decided to give the girl on the DR ... about all the doorposts and the first experience of operation I will inform you! (before that, we went to one of the MOLS - where the xiaomi opened a store - looked beech ... not bad ... there is no feeling of cheapness ... pleasant enough tactile sensations ...)

Do not delay with the review, wait!

[t34gambit]

{Good} I will write everything from the heart)) I think tomorrow will be delivered - and tomorrow evening I will share my impressions)

[mp87]

I went to the store xiaomi, laptops are not bad. Not as thin as I expected. But well done, the screen opens with one hand.

Not the essence of what it is metal, I, as a buyer, simply will not buy plastic beech,

So,there is a picture in the capwhere the Russian language says "Design integrates a variety of materials". Do you know what this means? that the cover with the screen as well as the cover around the keyboard is made of plastic. And Full Metal body means only that the frame on which all components are screwed is made of magnesium alloy just like in all smartphones.

the older one has a slot for an additional ssd disk. I wonder what size the disc can be inserted into it?
And again, judging by the pictures there is a connector for mSATA drives.

That day I am looking for pictures with an additional connector. Is it possible to just do it yourself without a marvelous service?
Neither want to change the native disk for something more capacious. If this is indeed mSATA (I can not find a link to this confirmation), then Samsung 840 EVO MZ-MTE1T0BW 1TB mSATA will do, if you take the maximum. On 2 TB drives on mSATA I did not find.

Found information about the native connector: PCIe 3.0 x4. So native 256 GB can be replaced with a faster and more capacious 512 GB Samsung 950 Pro PCIe SSD

[z-dmitry]

What is the best way to localize the keyboard?
Are there any invisible stickers?
Or service in Petersburg?

[footbaler]

Who is dismemberment? :-)

not very good arrangement of Latin on the buttons for Russification. because rus letters will be small in comparison with Latin

[VladimirRodionov]

z-dmitry
Yes, there are a lot of services created for the sake of those who carry apple computers from abroad. For 1000 wooden and 5 minutes the laser will burn out the Russian layout, which is also highlighted

[Mikospb]

Are there any real users of these devices? And what is the case of plastic or metal?

Not one seller on Ali, no. Even for expensive. Pre-orders are on do not understand what time. What with the purchase? My working laptop is broken, I want to buy this one - yes, nowhere.

[flyhippo]

Its cooling is normal, the air intake comes from the bottom, and when it blows into the back wall, the percent is soldered, like vidyuha, the samsung mz-vlv2560 drive easily changes.

igeekphone review

Something battery life is not happy. The manufacturer, of course, cleverly unsubscribed "up to 9.5 hours", but still 5.5 hours is sadness. Of course, you cannot completely trust the methodology in the review, but at least 7-8 hours would be desirable.

[Vitee_Ok]

Anydroid @ 08/04/2016, 01:51

Is there a Thunderbolt 3 or just a USB Type-C?

Regular USB 3.1 gen 1

[Hellgerhard]

Flyhippo @ 08/04/2016, 07:59

Its cooling is normal, the air intake comes from below, and blowing into the back wall

Cooling sucks, not only is 1 tube, it also goes sequentially through 2 heaters, the correct location is fans either separate or in the center
