    I wouldn't call the HP Victus a gaming laptop. My friend had one and I helped him troubleshoot some issues and it's just, slow…….disk I/O is slow, CPU is meh, it's just average. For close to $2000, it's a rip off. And HP's flagship gaming laptop line (Omen) isn't good either. I had one and it's got poor thermals, which led to throttling. This is a common complaint across a lot of the HP Omen models made in 2023 or 2024, not sure about the later models.

    If you really want good value for money, just get one from Taobao. I got an Asus ROG Strix Scar for about $2900 NZD. This is the total cost which includes shipping, customs tax and all the other BS fees. It runs Intel Ultra 9 275HX, 32GB DDR5, RTX 5070, 240Hz refresh (I believe only available on Chinese variants). The same model sold in NZ would cost at least $4000+. The only difference is the BIOS I think, but you can easily change the language to English and it doesn't matter much. Drivers are all the same for the GPU, etc.

    They also sell Lenovo Legion laptops on Taobao.

      I bought an Alienware Area-51 18 gaming laptop from Fishpond last month for $2,640. There was clearly a pricing error, as the configuration I received normally retails for well over $10,000 and the listing was removed after a few days. To my surprise, they actually honoured the order.

      Specs:

      RTX 5080 16GB
      Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX
      18" WQXGA 300Hz display
      64GB DDR5 RAM
      8TB SSD

        How do you even find a deal like this? So good!

          Wondering the same

        • NovaAlpha on 08/06/2026 - 15:28

          You can use web scrapers to scrape websites and look for pricing errors. Can utilize AI to do analysis and make logical decisions on what's a good buy or not. I'm using my own scraper for Facebook Marketplace deals.

          There are also price alerts related apps that you can use to monitor for certain products.

        Be very wary of this. I saw this same Alienware listing on fishpond and ordered before finding the dimensions and EAN in the product details referred to a far insuperior dell model. I raised this with fishpond who advised theyd refund if i dont get the correct item, before they shortly after cancelled the order. I hope your experience is better than mine.

      How exactly do you shop on Taobao? I find the website extremely hard to navigate, lots of redirections and the Chinese does not help it either.
      Also, how do you pay the duties when importing something like a laptop? Does it get paid all in advance or do you have to get in touch with customs?

        I wrote a guide on this some time ago, probably outdated now:
        https://www.cheapies.nz/node/46471

        I used it recently and the process is easier than before. Basically:

        1. Change the language to English on their website or app (I prefer using their website). When you create a new account for the first time, make sure you select the proper region and language.

        2. When purchasing an item on Taobao, proceed to the checkout page and confirm that the seller supports international shipping. In most cases, you'll be presented with two shipping options:

        • Direct Shipping – The item is shipped directly from the seller (or Taobao's logistics network) to your New Zealand address.
        • Consolidated Shipping – Multiple orders can be sent to a consolidation warehouse in China, where they are combined into a single shipment before being forwarded to your New Zealand address.

        Consolidated shipping is useful where you might have multiple purchases on Taobao from various different sellers and you just want all of them shipped together in one go, hence consolidated shipping.

        If you're only buying a single item and want the simplest option, direct shipping is usually the easiest choice.

        1. When you make the payment, if you were to use your NZ credit card, you'll be charged an additional card processing fee. You'll also have to pay the foreign exchange rate fees as well. Both of those aren't too bad. The best way to pay is to get a Chinese friend to pay directly from their China credit card or China bank account, in which case there won't be any FX fees or card processing fees.

        2. If your item is valued at less than NZ$1,000, there is no additional GST charged by New Zealand Customs. In this case, you simply pay for the item in full at the Taobao checkout page.

        If your item is valued at more than NZ$1,000, GST will need to be paid to New Zealand Customs. However, you generally do not need to contact Customs or complete any paperwork yourself. This is usually handled in one of two ways:

        • GST is included at checkout – The seller or marketplace collects the GST when you place the order, so there is nothing further to pay when the item arrives in New Zealand.
        • GST is not included at checkout – The logistics or courier company handling your shipment will collect the GST from you on behalf of New Zealand Customs before releasing or delivering the parcel.

        1. Who is the logistics company handling your parcel? It's almost certainly Chinz Logistics. They're based in Mangere. From what I've learned, they are the sole company who handles Taobao shipments for NZ. When you choose direct shipping on Taobao, they'll arrange with their own networks of logistics couriers to get your item shipped to NZ, and at some point, your parcel will be passed over to Chinz Logistics. So if you get contacted by them, it'll usually be about collecting GST payment.

        2. Even if there's no GST to be collected, there may be fees collected by the logistics company for handling and storage, etc. Again, this will be done by Chinz Logistics.

        3. If you need to pay anything extra, whether it's GST or any other fees, you will be contacted by either Taobao support (via a message in the Taobao app, or via phone call), or you'll be contacted by Chinz Logistics.

        4. If you've used NZ Youshop for mail redirection before, then you'll know how that works. Similarly, there are other mail redirection services from China to NZ. Chinz Logistics is one of them. This means that when you pay for your item on Taobao, instead of choosing the direct shipping option (which means Taobao handles all of the shipping process for you), you can choose to get it shipped to a mail redirection warehouse managed/owned by Chinz Logistics in China, then you deal directly with Chinz Logistics for the rest of the shipping process, instead of Taobao. This could be a good option, considering that you have a contact locally in NZ, which means better support. They could also be cheaper as well, but I haven't looked into this before.

        5. If you do need to pay GST for items over $1000, you'll most likely be asked to provide a customs code. You only need to apply this once and can re-use it in the future. You can apply for one for free and this usually takes 3~4 business days to complete. You then need to provide this code to the logistics company. Here's the page to apply - https://www.customs.govt.nz/business/import/lodge-your-impor…

        It's pretty straightforward, you don't need to know Chinese to use Taobao. Shipping wise, anything under $1000 is pretty easy. Anything over $1000 is slightly more annoying, but people will contact you to ask for anything that's unpaid and they'll handle the rest for you. Considering how much you save, it's worth it in my opinion.

          I really appreciate your reply! Very good info.

      Do you have any concerns with the warranty buying offshore for such a big ticket item?

      • NovaAlpha on 08/06/2026 - 14:52
        +2

        I don't really care about warranty in general. However, most sellers on Taobao offer a money back guarantee, it just means you need to send the item back to get a refund.

        When it comes to buying anything from overseas, whether it's from Temu, Aliexpress, Amazon, Ebay, Taobao, etc, warranty is always going to be a risk. But based on my experience and luck, I've never once needed it. I buy things regularly, I'm a big spender. Over the past 2 years, I've spent over 30~40K on electronic items alone and I can't recall a time when I needed to claim warranty. I buy used items from FB Marketplace as well, never had problems with them.

        If your goal is to save money, then that's the risk you'll need to accept. Otherwise, just buy local if you want a peace of mind.

        I will say this though, most people who are concerned or even paranoid about warranty should really think about how often an item breaks down. Sure, there may be some cases where items are recalled, or have defects or known issues or whatever. But the amount of people who have those problems are such a small minority. If things are so unreliable, the majority of the world would be claiming warranty left right and center.

      I already chucked an upvote on this — honestly, I’d give it another hundred if I could. PB Tech used to be my go‑to for anything electronic, but I stopped shopping there a couple of years back because their prices are miles above what you can get from overseas sites.

      I know some folks will say you get the warranty and the CGA and all that, but let’s be real - a one‑year warranty is pretty average, and the CGA only gets you so far. I’d rather pay a much sharper price than fork out for that so‑called “premium” service. And to top it off, PB’s after‑sales service has been pretty disappointing in my experience. Just my two cents.

      • NovaAlpha on 08/06/2026 - 21:00

        And that's assuming you can even get the item locally. Some are only available to buy from overseas. The Chinese variants of the Lenovo Legion or Asus ROG have 240hz refresh, whereas most of the ones being sold here don't.

    Being a Chinese, it's so much easier for us to use Taobao, it's certainly cheaper than buying through Aliexpress and the choices are a lot more, I don't like Temu as quality of items are general not good.

    I just received a pair of Adidas Adios Pro 4 from Taobao today, the cost was $250 with shipping and tax included, the good thing is that there are so many colourway to choose from as oppose to Adidias offical website which only puts certain colourway on special.

    • Huntakillaz on 08/06/2026 - 21:13

      Don't you have to have a China number or something? to get access to Taobao?

  • Mintoh on 08/06/2026 - 21:05

    What's cheapies thoughts on the BenQ Monitor? I'm tempted for a 4k 165hz monitor
