    Don't know what Clevo is like in the US... but in the UK they have terrible customer support... Worse than Dell.... (My dad has 2 Clevo laptops, and getting driver updates or replacement parts is a total nightmare.)

    Well in the US you would go through Sager, since most any Clevo sold here is done so by Sager. I haven't had to deal with support but once, and it was something they would likely never care about. I was playing FFXIV at the time, and the volume pad on the laptop itself worked fine, except the software involved popped up a little thing on the screen when you did it. For those who don't know, you cannot alt tab FFXIV if it's full screen, it will crash immediately. Asked them to add an option to turn that off, but I don't think they quite understood it.

    But otherwise, the laptop has been great.
