    Hm... 279 pounds looks expensive to me, but maybe it's just because I know the US pricing. XD

    No Clevo. MSI is a ODM for notebooks. They make it. MSI designed and builds the Wind and the clones. They are using other brands which are known in curtain countries because MSI does not have a wide service network. Servicing notebooks requires a different infrastructure to motherboards and graphics cards.

    The only thing "Advent" on the Advent badged Wind is the badge. It is not built by the usual Advent makers so don't worry about the badge.

    Have a look what CPU-Z reports as the make and model of the Advent badged Wind
