    Clevo is a Taiwanese based notebook maker that produces notebooks for other manufacturers and also sells notebooks under its own brand name. They actually had a pretty large presence at the CeBIT 2006 show in Hannover. Following are a few pictures of their latest notebooks:

    Glad to see a great showing from Clevo!

    The D900K is huge . . but I really like the M570U with the X1800XT, should be a real powerhouse.

    Looks decent... that 14" widescreen model has a touchpad that makes it look like an Asus :)

    no joke, this was my first time seeing the D900K up close and the word "meaty" came to mind. It's so thick.

    Clevo first of all operates as an ODM and thus you mostly only get rebranded Clevo Notebooks from resellers which assemble these according to the supporting specs of the individual notebook models.

    As an example, Sagers, some Alienware and so on notebooks are mostly all rebranded Clevo ODM notebooks. In germany we have some 20-30 shops which all resell Clevos under their own sticked on labels.

    However, Clevo is not the only taiwan ODM, there are much more asian ODM as OEM producers and there are also some big guys among those. For example Quanta, Compal, Wistron, Uniwill, Mitac, Arima, Aopen, MSI, Asustek, Inventec... and so on all offer ODM notebooks and some of them are also mostly working as big OEM manufactors for the worldwide well known big companies. - All in all, every notebook on the market, no matter if from HP, Lenovo, Fujitsu-Siemens, Toshi, etc. stems from one of the big asian OEM manufactors.

    It's an integrated card like the X200M. I believe Brian posted about it on the front page.

    They're glossy screens right? Glossy's usually struggle to look good in photos when they'res alot of light. Like in a big convention center.

    Funny i thought it was Asus ..especially with the little LEDS on the side. Wonder if the quality is up to par..then it'd be a mini z70v
