Clevo is apparently German, whereas System76 say they're based in Colorado.

Wonder how the hardware supply chain works?

Aside: For a little over $1200, you can get a "desktop" with ECC RAM. And not have to assemble and test it yourself. Sweet.

Its actually made by a different company also named clevo in in China (TW)

Its a little wierd but they seems to exist only to sell to resellers, although clevo-computer.com seems to order a whole bunch. in my case the "clevo" id is on the sticker on the back (along with a lot of other info). I think System 76 specs the parts the work with linux and orders the machines that way. I have no idea how the supply chain works in this case.
