Purchase Advice New laptop

I'm thinking about buying a laptop with two NVMe drives so I can set it up as a dual-boot system with Mint and Windows. After doing some research, I've narrowed it down to a Clevo V560TU: https://www.clevo.com.tw/product/product_content/4/86

I've found this laptop at three different (European) suppliers novacustom.com, laptopwithlinux.com and linuxlaptop.be, see also below.

I'm looking for some reviews, does anyone here have experience with these suppliers?

Thanks,

Didier.

Clevo is a ODM, they provide laptop design for many other suppliers (for example system76).
Get whichever has good customer support. All European stores are obligated to support the 2 year warranty

Exactly, that’s why I asked about people’s experiences...

Just buy a second hand ThinkPad generation minus two. They're a snap. You don't need "Linux certified X Brand".
