I have an unbranded clevo from 2013. About 2 years ago I accidentally shorted a thing powered on usb, so all power delivery over usb was fried (as in: most thumb drives work. External HDDs don't. The computer still works.

Apart from the keyboard more or less falling apart at this point and that the touchpad is megashit by today's standards I have been a happy user. It has survived a lot more beating than my wife's MacBook which seems to break when you look at it wrong.

This year I demoted it to be a home server with built in power redundancy (and screen and keyboard). I am very satisfied with that purchase.
