- jay_kyburz 7y agoI bought a Clevo rebadge called a Metabox here in Australia and have all kinds of problems with it. Keys that stick down, headphone jack busted, one of the USB not working, a few other things. I never sent it back on warranty because I would have to buy a new machine to work on while it was away anyhow. I'll just put up with the problems until the next upgrade cycle. It sits on my desk now with an external keyboard, external USB hub, and external DAC for the headphones to work.
- pgeorgi 7y agoI haven't worked with Clevo, but apparently they provide quite some flexibility. A vendor can use their own choice of keyboard, extra buttons, ports placements, hinges, ... I guess Clevo would even be up to designing a new PCB around a different CPU by a different vendor, but "use this type of keyboard" will be much cheaper to commission than "swap out the CPU vendor". So I'd expect keyboard issues to be more up to Metabox choosing the cheapest option for that part, rather than a systemic Clevo failure.
- lonelappde 7y agoIsn't sager more like an alternative to system76, also a rebadged clevo?
