I think that should be Clevo. I bought a pcspecialist Genesis IV with i5 processor recently and have been satisfied. With 12.10 pretty much everything worked out of the box, and any minor issues I had were easily sorted. The only proviso is that I do not know about the situation if you have a graphics upgrade rather than using the built in Intel graphics (which works fine).
