I took delivery of a nice lightweight (1.5kg or approx 3 pounds in Imperial measure) Clevo just over a week ago, the TL;DR of the writeup[1] is smooth sailing except that I did have to cook up an xorg.conf file (the newest Kaby Lake grapics features are not fully supported by our X yet) but that was essentially cut and paste from a Gist by Reyk Floeter (referenced in the blogpost). I can certainly recommend that machine. The only snag in daily use is that if you like me also use ThinkPads, you may miss the trackpoint aka clitmouse when going to machines without that device.
