I've bought a few Clevos over the years (from PC Koubou), either for
myself or for school. I would say features have been short battery
life and noisy fans. Its been a couple of years since the last - have
they improved? They generally let me plug a live usb stick in and
reboot for testing in the shop. They have always worked properly with
Debian or Ubuntu (but I don't use suspend or hibernate. I'm a log out
and shut down kind of person).
