    Tongfang® is a laptop original design manufacturer (ODM) similar to Clevo®. This means their units are often not named Tongfang but are named under several other brands.

    Tongfang laptops are sold by almost all custom or boutique laptop companies, if you see a laptop and you're not sure who manufactured it, then it's probably made by Tongfang, if not then it's the other ODM, Clevo.

    Popularity

    Tongfang has gained popularity around the world with their GK5CN6Z model, which has a GTX 1060, a small form factor build, good cooling, and was well priced. One of their more unique selling points is having mechanical keyboards on their rather low priced units, a feature normally found on much more expensive gaming laptops.
