Introduction
As a manufacturer with nearly two decades of experience in OEM/ODM laptop production, we’ve worked with buyers from over 180 countries. One question comes up in almost every inquiry: “Which model is right for my market?”
This guide breaks down our current key product lineup — 11 models across three screen-size categories — and tells you exactly what each model is designed for, who it sells best to, and what to watch out for when placing your first bulk order.

Part 2: Three Screen-Size Categories — Which One Fits Your Market?
14 Inch: Maximum Portability, Minimum Cost
Models: TK-E140, TK-E140C
The 14-inch form factor is the sweet spot for buyers who prioritize low entry price and portability. These models use entry-level Intel N3350 or AMD A9-9400 processors with TN screens (1366×768), which keeps the BOM cost low while maintaining solid everyday performance.
Best for:
- Education sector procurement (schools, governments)
- Budget retail markets in Africa, Southeast Asia, Latin America
- First-order buyers testing a new SKU
The TK-E140 features dual-band WiFi as standard — a key differentiator at this price point. The TK-E140C uses AMD A9-9400 with DDR3 configuration, which suits buyers in markets where AMD brand recognition drives purchase decisions.
Watch out for: TN panels have narrower viewing angles. If your end users are office workers or students who frequently share screens, consider stepping up to a 15.6″ IPS model.
15.6-Inch Laptop : The Workhorse of the Lineup
Models: TK-E156, TK-E157, TK-E159, TK-E160X, TK-E157D, TK-E160U , TK-E180
This is our most diverse and best-selling category. The 15.6″ form factor dominates B2B procurement globally, and we offer eight distinct configurations to cover every price tier.
Budget Tier — Intel N-Series (N5095 / N95)
TK-E156 & TK-E157 share the same N5095 processor platform but serve different buyers:
- TK-E156: Dual storage design (one M.2 + one SATA SSD slot) makes it attractive for buyers who want upgrade flexibility. 3.5mm charging jack reduces cost.
- TK-E157: Adds 180° hinge opening and touchpad-controlled volume/brightness — features that resonate strongly with education and corporate buyers who want a premium feel at a budget price.
TK-E159 steps up to Intel’s 12th Generation N95, offering noticeably better performance per watt. It also adds:
- Independent power button (reduces accidental shutdowns)
- Full-featured Type-C port
- RJ45 ethernet (critical for enterprise/government IT departments)
- 2MP camera with privacy switch
The privacy camera switch has become a top-requested feature from European and North American enterprise buyers post-2020. If your target market includes corporate IT procurement, always specify this feature.
Mid Tier — Intel 6th Gen Core / AMD Ryzen
TK-E160X (i7-6500U) and TK-E160U (i5-6200U / i3-6100) are built on Intel’s proven 6th generation Core platform — reliable, widely supported, and cost-effective for buyers who need genuine Core branding at a competitive price. Dual RAM slots provide maximum upgrade flexibility for resellers.
TK-E157D (AMD R5-3500U) is our Ryzen-powered option. AMD Ryzen’s integrated Radeon graphics outperform Intel UHD at the same price point — ideal for buyers whose end-users do light creative work, video editing, or gaming.
Key advantage: Full-featured Type-C with PD 65W charging — one cable for data, video output, and power. This is a strong selling point in the European market.
Premium Tier — TK-E180 (Metal Shell, Dual Channel)
The TK-E180 is our flagship 15.6″ model, and for good reason:
- Metal A-shell: Immediately communicates premium quality to end-users
- Dual RAM + Dual SSD slots: True workstation expandability
- Dual-channel memory: Significant real-world performance improvement over single-channel
- NVMe SSD support: Up to 5× faster storage than SATA
- WiFi 6 optional (additional fee per unit)
- 180° flat-open hinge: Popular in education, presentation, and collaborative work scenarios
- RJ45 + Full-featured Type-C: Complete connectivity for enterprise
The TK-E180 supports CPU configurations from i3 to i9. We strongly recommend i5 or i7 for most markets — the i9 config suits buyers targeting high-performance workstation replacement segments.
18.5-Inch: The Desktop Replacement
Model: TK-E185
The TK-E185 is a niche product with a loyal buyer base. At 18.5 inches, it bridges the gap between a large laptop and an all-in-one PC.
Best for:
- Buyers serving home office users who want a large screen without a separate monitor
- Markets where carrying the device is less important than screen real estate
- Buyers who want WiFi 6 as standard (included at no extra cost)
Key specs: Intel N150, 1920×1080 IPS, full-featured Type-C, PD 65W charging, fingerprint + backlit keyboard, 5000mAh battery, plastic shell.
