Noo is of course 'da man !' even though she is of course female ... ... a suitably confus-ed statement ! ....

But on the subject of ECS/PC chips I ain't confus-ed in the least ... these are stictly for 'other people' , other than myself !

They are as Platypus says a 'bottom end budget manufacturer' ... so it might be ok to stick a cheap replacement part in a machine on the grounds of cost, & I will give ground & say they are 'rapidly improving' in quality terms (but all of the budget market has !) ...

However Hell will have to cool a lot more before I'd be recommending anyone stick their pennies into a lappie made by them, couple that with Noo's insightful comments about poor battery life & I think you have a no-no ... Not a NooNoo, she is of course unique , but a thumbs down from this particular contibutor too ....
