Is anyone familiar with OTVOC laptops?

I've been looking for an inexpensive laptop.
Stumbled on this one at Amazon.

Amazon.com

It checks all the boxes for what I "think" I need so I ordered one.
It was listed as 70% off of the $1299 price so I got it for $389.
489 Amazon reviews that gave it an average of 4.4 out of 5.0.

looks like absolute minimum specs, all 'generic' party graphics/cards/etc.

Never heard of it but looks like it could be okay for web surfing and email etc. Basic laptop stuff.

I gotta wonder what Spyware and other malicious softest software is hidden on it.

It is going to be for basic things.
I was going to leave it at the condo which I don't visit much but I guess I'll bring it back home and run it to make sure it doesn't die based on what @chowderman posted.
I will be running Malwarebytes premium and other anti-virus software on it just to make sure it doesn't have bad things on it.

Got the laptop today. I must say I'm pretty impressed.
Initial setup took about 5-10 minutes.
Added all my apps, devices... took another 20-30 minutes (Connect to wifi, install printer, download and install Duckduckgo, Brave browser, Malwarebytes, CCleaner)
Malwarebytes found nothing malicious.

It's fast. Windows 11 PRO seems much better than Windows 11 Home but I'm a relative newby to both.
