Well, Zinox is a Nigerian company the makes electronics including laptop and desktop computers.
Now I’m considering buying a new laptop and wanted to try them out (economy has made local products more attractive 
)
But I can’t find reviews or anything of the sort like I would if I searched for HP or DELL.
So please do you know anyone that has used a Zinox laptop, or any Zinox product?
What was it like?
Never used it. Saw it at trade fairs or conferences but never had a chance to test it out.
Oga save yourself the stress, its same Capabilities or lower at almost same cost with HP, Go with the brand you know.
My school had a partnership (I think) with them. They supplied over 200 laptops. Windows 7, Core i7 and 4GB RAM. They were TERRIBLY SLOW, prone to BSODs and froze all the time. When they were not on their period, however, they were fairly ok. Fairly. Their displays were very good, though.
Wow!
That’s just sad.
Thanks for this info. I’m staying away from Zinox.
My laptop is too central to my activities.
I’ve not been chanced to buy a Zinox (yet?), but I doubt they’d be any worse than all the other laptops… afterall, the CPU, memory chips, and motherboard are pretty much the same* commodity parts you’ll find in an Acer, Xiaomi or Voyo
*I could be wrong - in the sense that they use the services of a lower tier OEM - but the discussion sounded as if they (Zinox) actually manufactured anything.
Zinox definitely doesn’t have the same level of resources allocated to quality assurance as you might find with your usual HP, Dell, or Toshiba.
Anybody can go to China to get whitelabelled laptops made. The reason you’d trust a Dell over Zinox is the same as why you’d rather get an Asus motherboard over a nameless one if you’re into building your own PC. Or say Corsair RAM modules over the ones you get on Alibaba.
Long story short, I can build you two desktops while keeping the obvious specs similar, but the performance of both miles apart. What Zinox is doing is counting on the fact that the average Nigerian will not look beyond those “obvious” specs. So its a Core i7, but is it Sandy Bridge from 2011, or something more recent. You know, stuff like that.
Thank you for this.
I guess sometimes, the brand does matter
The computers they used during the last two general elections were Zinox computers.
I used Zinox when i was young, paid a large sum for a shitty spec computer, that’s when I realized you can build your own system yourself. save yourself the stress and avoid zinox. I’d rather have Cancer than buy from Zinox.
I used a zinox netbook in 2010, and it was awesome…i loved it until i gave it out to my younger ones and they killed it within two months…
probing deeper, i found out it was originally manufactured by compal…same oem for toshiba and hp sometime ago
Mr Vader …some Zen, pls.
Be careful what you wish for.
Conservatively, Zinox group imports over 40% of all new laptops in Nigeria. Yes, most of your HP, Dell, etc are coming from them.
They are the parent company of some of the biggest names in the sector, Technology Distributions and Task Direct.
Though, that is about buying from Zinox. Zinox as a brand does exactly what @xolubi described above.
