A Clevo N130BU for about a year.
- Core i7-7500U
- 32GB RAM
- 1TB Samsung NVMe
- QHD+ IPS display, 13.3". QHD is a pita on Linux, I have different xrandr magics for different 2nd screens, I'd happily downgrade this to a normal HD screen just for the convenience, which would also increase the not-so-great battery life (it runs for about 3 hours on batteries).
- No additional GPU (this was a pro to me, because I've never made it work the nVidia Optimus under Linux).
- USB-C, HDMI, USB 2.0, MiniDP, SDCard reader, 4G modem, Ethernet UTP socket. Needing no adapters was a big pro to me.
- Purchase price of this rig was £1290 last year, UK VAT (20% sales tax), shipping included.
Without a hardware failure, this rig will be fine for me for the foreseeable future.
