    Maybe this is a stupid question, but does Malibal use the same body/case as other Clevo resellers?

    On their site the equivalent laptops look a lot nicer/cleaner, but its hard for me to tell if that's actually because the case is nicer or if its because they have a much better photographer.

    They use the same barebones from Clevo.

    Thanks. They should give their photographer a raise - the laptops look great compared to other Clevo resellers.

    As Eldaren pointed out, they are the same models used by Sager (Clevo makes all of them- the name you get on it just depends on who you purchase through). The only really unique feature to each retailer is their logo on the back ;)

    And of course, you opt to get the back without a logo if you wanted.

    Unrelated to the physical design, the Clevo models do not use the same Bios/EC that the Sager models do, so it's something to watch out for.
