It depends site where you buyed it. Aliexpress didn’t care about customers. If you want a Bmax Y13, better buy it from Amazon, it’s more expensive but gives guarantee of replacement or refund.

Luckily, it was Amazon, I’m trying to get in touch with the BMAX now via Amazon messaging system.

Sorry for you guys, but it’s a faulty batch of bmax y13  from first half of 2020

 

Are they offering replacements?

Yep, misers pay twice I suppose… although I only bought because I couldn’t find anything similar from a reputable brand. I needed USB-C PD charging, FHD touchscreen, backlit keyboard, fan-less design. Don’t care about horsepower. Shame big brands are not interested in this niche.

I’ve registered only to post my frustration with BMAX Y13. It is a good looking but basically dysfunctional machine that keeps crashing sporadically. For more details, see my review on Amazon where I’m a “verified” buyer.

@Marcus: I’ve tried the Windows 10 image/drivers from BMAX’s site as well as a clean install from the most recent Microsoft Windows 10 ISO with the most recent Intel video/WiFi drivers. Then I tried Debian and Ubuntu. It keeps crashing or freezing  under all of these OSes. I’ve also played with various BIOS setting trying to mitigate that to no avail.

I’ll see if I can exchange it, will post an update here.
