    How is this even a question? If it's legit then of course.
    My internet radar calls bull, though.

    Enduro issue is fixed isn't it? and it appears that it is a software issue now anyway so it will be gradually fixed entirely. I would jump on that deal if you find it hard to get it for cheaper where you are.

    I will happily sell you mine for a similar $300ish more lol. i have a much faster CPU (4Ghz via XTU OC), 2 larger SSDs, 95% Gamut screen, double the ram, better WiFi card. I would happily get rid of mine for about £1300.

    Curious if you understood the clevo would cost 1575dollars (10500SEK). A new one would go around 2100dollars. Anyway I bought it. Hope ill be satisfied :)
