Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
So I decided to buy my first Clevo from PWN PCS ( PWN PCS - Custom Built Performance and Gaming Laptops), who is active on these boards. The reason being they seem to be a solid company and know what they are doing and also have stellar reviews from people on here who previously bought from them.
Got the following one:
Clevo W350STQ

Dead Pixel Guarantee - For full systems only: None

Total including shipping was 924 pounds. Decided I'll install Windows 8 on my own.
Placed my order and made payment by bank transfer on January 6th. Scott has been extremely kind and helpful with all the questions I have had so far. Order is still in pre-production phase. Yesterday, I was notified that they had identified a faulty motherboard from Clevo and were waiting to get a new one. Not PWN PCS' fault. Guess I'll be waiting a little longer for my order to arrive (I live in London) but it's worth it obviously (don't want a faulty motherboard that's for sure ha!). So far I've had a great experience with PWN PCS.
I'll come back on here with updates. I can't wait to get my hands on my Clevo!
Has anyone else bought from PWN PCS recently?
