Clevo 750DM2-G: Win7/Linux support?

Hey all,

I've been searching high and low for a new dev laptop, and after a lot of searching, am thinking of settling on Clevo 750DM2-G - it has a pretty nice available configuration of a desktop processor + 1080 (I do a lot of CUDA programming)

What I was wondering about is about the Linux/Win7 support: I live mostly in Linux, dropping by to Windows for some infrequent gaming. Unfortunately, Clevo does not seem to have any kind of visible support for either Linux or for Win7: their official drivers page simply lists Win10 drivers (and I wouldn't touch Win10, not after it managed to brick my desktop with their Anniversary update)

Does anyone know what kind of experience is available with Win7 (even 8/8.1) or with Linux? (Arch/Ubuntu 16 LTS)? What hardware works, and what doesn't? Any workarounds possible?

Also, as a side note, how good is the quality of 750DM2's keyboard? There seems to be a lot of gripe about Clevo's keyboard quality in general, wondering whether to go ahead with 750DM2 or spend the extra and go with the GT83 with it's mech keyboard..

 

We support Win 7, 8 and 10 and have drivers available. Which Linux distribution are you planning to use? Let me know so I can double check.

 

Thanks for your reply!

I was looking to use Ubuntu 16.04.1 (LTS) or Arch Linux

 

Super! We will verify on Monday and let you know. We already have our Tornado F5 running Ubuntu, now we are testing with Mac O/S, here are specs: http://www.eurocom.com/ec/configure(2,384,0)ec

 

@Eurocom Did this work?

Also, do you ship to India? Any idea of the range of shipping fees/customs?

 

Yes Ubuntu works. We ship to India. Check shipping cost via our website.
