I ordered one from that shop.  I chose the model with 16GB RAM
and 512GB M.2 SSD.

As I sort of expected the SSD is "fake".  It does have the specified
capacity, but after the first ~64GB which works at 1200MB/s it
becomes very slow.  But does not lose data (yet).

It seems the Chinese continue to defraud SSD buyers just as
before, but it this case it was not a 64GB device with wrap-around
or /dev/null for the remainder of the capacity, as I have seen before.

Of course, what could you expect for the price...?
So it is probably best to order with no SSD (or the smallest one),
toss it, and buy an M.2 SSD locally.
