M4980 Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Wasn't sure if this was considered general or off-topic but the 51nb site as well as its forum have had their web addresses unreachable for quite a few weeks now - doesn't look like it'll be returning soon either. They had a good amount of resources pertaining to notebooks and tech from Chinese users, so it is a shame to see it gone. I cannot see any news online regarding its closure, nor any messages on their social media pages. However, there is a thread here that explains that the domain has ClientHold status, meaning it is suspended: apparently a six-month suspension at best so perhaps it will return next year. A poster on that thread also claims he may be able to cooperate with Lichuang regarding the matter (perhaps he is referring to modified ThinkPads) 1 Dell Precision 7520: Intel Core i7-7920HQ, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro T1000 4GB, LG LP156QHG (240Hz QHD, 100% sRGB & P3, 400 nits), Intel AX210 WiFi 6E Dell Precision M4800: Intel Core i7-4810MQ, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro M1200 4GB, Intel AX200 WiFi 6 ThinkPad T440p: Intel Core i7-4980HQ i5-4300M, 16GB RAM, Intel Iris Pro 5200 HD 4600, N140HCE-EN1 Rev.c2 (1080p) ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 2: Intel Core i5-4300U, 8GB RAM, Intel HD 4400, QHD ThinkPad X230: Intel Core i5-3320M, 16GB RAM, Intel HD 4000, 16:10 2K display ASRock X570M Pro4: Ryzen 9 3900X, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, NVIDIA GTX 1070 8GB, Corsair Crystal 280X, Xiaomi Mi Curved 34 + Acer Predator Z35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right now, it seems like they are still operating - they shipped out the 10th gen X2100 orders in April. http://www.cnmod.cn/ https://www.facebook.com/lcdfans/ 1 Dell Precision 7520: Intel Core i7-7920HQ, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro T1000 4GB, LG LP156QHG (240Hz QHD, 100% sRGB & P3, 400 nits), Intel AX210 WiFi 6E Dell Precision M4800: Intel Core i7-4810MQ, 32GB RAM, NVIDIA Quadro M1200 4GB, Intel AX200 WiFi 6 ThinkPad T440p: Intel Core i7-4980HQ i5-4300M, 16GB RAM, Intel Iris Pro 5200 HD 4600, N140HCE-EN1 Rev.c2 (1080p) ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 2: Intel Core i5-4300U, 8GB RAM, Intel HD 4400, QHD ThinkPad X230: Intel Core i5-3320M, 16GB RAM, Intel HD 4000, 16:10 2K display ASRock X570M Pro4: Ryzen 9 3900X, 32GB DDR4 3200MHz, NVIDIA GTX 1070 8GB, Corsair Crystal 280X, Xiaomi Mi Curved 34 + Acer Predator Z35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMSMajestic Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 What I've been told (by Jacky) is that the closure will be ~6 MOs until the big event later this year is done. I don't think hosting the site outside of Mainland China helps. Anything that has lots of traffic will catch attention of the big brother. And there is little control over what those from HK and TW might post to get the site blocked by GFW. Not to mention the slow access to oversea sites that consumers of the cheap ISPs will enjoy, along with the DNS poisoning. On the other hands, I'd be happy to host a copy/ CDN of this current site with the new (2nd handed) 16TB drives I purchased 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
