That, added to a little savings was just enough money to buy a new Clevo N150CU from another supplier.<\/p>\n<p>I generally like Clevo machines and sourced a local supplier: Chillblast in Poole. Chillblast &#8216;Helios&#8217; is in fact a Clevo N150CU. Actually we still have two of its 14&#8243; little brothers too &#8211; the N141ZU &#8211; ones that &#8220;PC Specialist&#8221; didn&#8217;t have a chance to bugger up. They are excellent machines.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwanese-based Clevo is one of the biggest laptop manufacturers you probably <em>never<\/em> heard of. That&#8217;s because very few of its machines actually bear the Clevo badge. Here in the UK, Chillblast, Novatech and so-called &#8220;PCSpecialist&#8221; all sell rebadged Clevos.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201107_205929Z_clevo_N150-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-6984 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201107_205929Z_clevo_N150-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Clevo N150CU with RGB keyboard\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1706\" srcset=\"https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201107_205929Z_clevo_N150-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201107_205929Z_clevo_N150-480x320.jpg 480w, https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201107_205929Z_clevo_N150-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201107_205929Z_clevo_N150-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/garfnet.org.uk\/cms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/IMG_20201107_205929Z_clevo_N150-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have a particular affinity for Clevo because its hardware tends to be GNU\/Linux friendly. In fact almost all the &#8220;Linux Laptops&#8221; you see advertised are rebadged Clevos. Most Clevo suppliers will also supply OS-free. Means that you don&#8217;t have to pay for unwanted Windows licenses. Even if you still use MS Windows, Clevo hardware compatibility is desirable because there are generally very few hardware issues with Windows either &#8211; though what Windows will or will not do is not really my bailiwick.<\/p>\n<h2>How much RAM and hard disk<\/h2>\n<p>Because I don&#8217;t pay for operating system or software licenses, I decided to use my savings to buy a full <strong>32GB<\/strong> RAM &#8211; the maximum this particular machine will take &#8211; 2 x 16GB. Also purchased a 1TB Samsung NVME SSD rather than the standard SSD offered with this machine. I&#8217;m glad I did because it goes like the proverbial clappers<\/p>\n<p>In my experience RAM usage often depends on how you work and how often you reboot. I seldom reboot and my workhorse laptop frequently endures <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Uptime\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">uptimes<\/a> of several weeks or more. Normally I power-off the screen and lock the OS overnight so my desktop is ready for me to resume in the morning. In fact, I have become so lazy during these lockdowns that these day I unlock the machine with my smartphone with <a href=\"https:\/\/f-droid.org\/en\/packages\/org.kde.kdeconnect_tp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KDEConnect<\/a> as I stagger downstairs in the morning, because I can&#8217;t be arsed to type in the password. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>Working with those <em>uptimes<\/em>, a lot of of applications tend to get left open. For example as of right now, I have open: <a href=\"https:\/\/gimp.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GIMP<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/darktable.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Darktable<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/krita.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Krita<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/inkscape.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Inkscape<\/a> and several instances of <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.kde.org\/en\/gwenview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Gwenview<\/a> together with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mozilla.org\/firefox\/new\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Firefox<\/a> c\/w 30+ open tabs, <a href=\"https:\/\/zim-wiki.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Zim<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/utils.kde.org\/projects\/kcalc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kcalc<\/a>, several <a href=\"https:\/\/apps.kde.org\/en\/dolphin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Dolphin<\/a> tabs, a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/apps.kde.org\/en\/krusader\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Krusader<\/a> file manager and a tabbed <a href=\"http:\/\/kuthulu.com\/gcm\/\">terminal\/SSH application<\/a> I use to manage a number of remote servers simultaneously &#8211; not to mention the usual plethora of business-orientated applications. Consequently, whilst 32GB RAM generally offers me plenty of headroom, I still manage to use it all up from time to time. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<h2>Service friendliness<\/h2>\n<p>Clevos are also relatively service-friendly and Clevo manuals are readily available on line. We still have a pair of Novatech-branded Clevos from 2009 that are still going strong. Both running GNU\/Linux of course. Most Clevo suppliers will actually supply them as a &#8220;bare bones&#8221; chassis too, if you ask. Means you can fit your own HD\/SSD, RAM, wireless card etc. if you wish to do so. That&#8217;s what I did with my new N150. I already bought a 1TB NVME cheap from Amazon, upon which I had already installed a fully-loaded and working KDE Neon\/Ubuntu.. So I asked Chillblast to supply without OS or SSD &#8211; which they willingly did.<\/p>\n<p>When the machine arrived, I nipped the back off, clipped in my SSD, reassembled, switched-on and instantly I had a fully working machine. Interestingly, I actually prepared the SSD on an earlier N141. But it worked fine in the N150.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>My N150 is a studio laptop. However, in addition to its photographic work, it also controls a number of GNU\/Linux servers &#8211; our own and those belonging to a number of my customers. It stays on 24\/7 and enjoys long uptimes. Obviously I can&#8217;t comment with regard to how it would perform on MS Windows using proprietary software. But on Unix-like operating systems c\/w their associated open source software, all our Clevos have proven quite excellent.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Is this the best computer for a photographer? Well that depends on the individual photographer, I guess.<\/li>\n<li>Is it good enough for me? Oh yes, you bet it is! But then, as far as I am concerned, when it comes to buying tech,<em> good enough<\/em> is often <em>perfect<\/em>&#8230; \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seems it&#8217;s time to buy another laptop.
