  • Laptop bought from Clevo Computer (old link: http://clevo-systems.com/, Clevo Systems). Fast shipping and candies included (Europe). Recommended!

  • Came with Windows 10 preinstalled on NVMe SSD (Samsung EVO 960) although I set No OS on their website.

  • If you had Windows 10 preinstalled, back it up - create a complete backup of your new NVMe SSD. Just in case. I used dd

  • You need Grub/Syslinux boot parameters acpi_osi="!Windows 2015" acpi_osi=Linux in order to access Linux desktop environment as recent Linux OSes tend to freeze on this laptop while loading DE. This rule applies to Live USB/CDs as well.

  • You need a recent Linux kernel (4.14 >) for this laptop

  • After proper configuration, everything works as expected. Recommended for Linux usage if you can deal with Nvidia Optimus

  • If you don't use UEFI (read: you use traditional HDD instead of fast NVMe SSD), you need to disable UEFI boot option in UEFI/BIOS menu. You can re-enable it if you decided to use UEFI boot


UEFI // SSD + HDD configuration, Linux installation
