For UK buyers I'd recommend PC Specialist #1, I brought a 14" Lafite laptop from them in January 2019. What attracted me was a warantee that wasn't broken by opening the case or installing your own components. Also when I asked pre-sales support they where very open about the fact it was a rebadged Clevo N130BU, gave me the URL for the service manual and confirmed stock Ubuntu should run out the box. Linux Mint did when I tried it, not had an issue with it since. Now none of this is of much interest to the original poster who I think had a .de address apart for the idea of looking for a local supplier of rebadged Clevo devices. Lots of people do, I think at least some of Juno's stock is Clevo and know System76 used to albeit with modified firmware. #1 https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/ -- Bob Dunlop
