I have a Clevo N131WU and whilst Clevo's are good for the price, the poor battery life and loud fans (without their Windows-only 'Control Centre' software) would prevent me buying one again. It's definitely not a MBP competitor.
Cool, thank you for this feedback. Are you aware of NBFC (https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc)? Not that this is relevant to Clevo beeing no competitor but perhaps you can take control of your fan - afaik it is known to work on linux systems.
I'll check that out thanks. I had heard that a few other fan controllers don't work but NBFC looks promising.
