Clevo NP50DB	2020-09	Intel graphics plus NVIDIA GeForce: OK	Intel HDA. PulseAudio OK	Yes	Yes	Yes	Suspend-to-RAM: OK. Suspend-to-disk: not tested	Modem N/A. Intel AX201 WLAN works.	Most Fn keys working out of the box : volume, brightness, mute, sleep etc. Touchpad works. Webcam works with uvcvideo.	Good linux machine. Keyboard LEDs work with clevo packages from AUR (patched).
Clevo N130BU	2017-09	Intel HD Graphics 620: OK	PulseAudio OK	Yes	Yes	Yes	Not tested	Not tested	Fn keys not working out of the box : volume, brightness Touchpad works with libinput but awkard default config ("Tapping" disabled)	Highly compatible linux machine but many small annoyances as some functionalities are not working out of the box.

Clevo W150HRM	2011-08-19	Intel 950GMA and Nvidia Optimus (Bumblebee works)	Intel HDA (OK)	Yes	Yes	Not tested	--	--	--	--
Clevo W110ER	2013-04-01	Intel HD Graphics 4000 (i915) and Nvidia GeForce GT 650M with Optimus (nvidia). HDMI out works. Bumblebee (3.1-6 and later) works with primus. bbswitch (bbswitch-dkms-git^AUR from the AUR, Dec 2013) works. The GT 650M powers down despite ACPI saying otherwise in dmesg. nvidia binary driver works only sporadically with the default kernel ("GPU has fallen off the bus" in dmesg since linux 3.10). However, nvidia 331.20 does load and work properly with linux-ck^AUR kernel (linux-ck-ivybridge 3.12.5-1 from Unofficial user repositories/Repo-ck) if boot parameter `rcutree.rcu_idle_gp_delay=2` is given. See .	ALSA (snd_hda_intel) with PulseAudio Integrated microphone works. HDMI audio out works. Analog headphone out works if the "Independent HP" switch in `alsamixer` is set to Off. External microphone jack not tested.	Realtek 8168 (r8169) works.	Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (iwlwifi), unreliable on some 802.11n networks. A workaround is to disable 802.11n with module parameter `11n_disable=1`.	Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235, works after an initial `sudo hciconfig hci0 up` which persists after reboot.	Suspend to disk and RAM works (see note on card reader).	N/A	Web cam works (uvcvideo). All Fn-keys work. Screen brightness control works. Touchpad works with multitouch support. USB 3.0 not tested. Card reader Realtek 5289 works (rtsx_pci). Battery reports percentage of charge, not the time left, which is a BIOS/ACPI limitation.	A highly Linux-friendly machine. Tested only in BIOS mode, not in UEFI.
