    Clevo? I used to have one of those. Was a laptop from 2009. Sadly the fan sensors failed and now it shuts down on boot due to always thinking its overheating. However, it wasn’t sold under Clevos brand name, had Turbo-X (local company where I live) branding and even a “Style note” splash screen.

      Yep, my Clevo from 2014 is still going strong, handles everything including games on Switch emulators as well as I need it to. Never had an issue with it except to replace the fans about a year ago, and self-upgraded the GPU somewhere along the line to the max it could take. Eventually I’ll need to upgrade, and will probably go back to LPC if someone better isn’t available. But for expansive hardware you can’t get much better. All they’re missing is water cooling. You can max out the latest 17” ones with a 4090 and 8TB of SSD.

      edit: Last time I checked, I also noticed that as long as you’re not getting a model with a 4080 or 4090, somehow they manage to run everything off a power adapter that pulls significantly less wattage than their competitors. You could still use it off an RV solar power and inverter setup without much strain to the system.
