Hello.
I am interested in the CLEVO NH70RHQ (sold on PC Specialist under the reference 17.3 "COSMOS VIII).

I want the following conf:

intel core i7
RAM 16Go (2 x 8)
Nvidia GTX 1050
SSD M.2 : 500go Samsung 970 EVO PLUS M.2...

I have 2 questions please:
_Is this model rather silent? Does the fan make noise even when we do office work?
_Is this model known to be very compatible with Linux (Ubuntu)?

Thank you in advance.

This thread is worth a read about Linux on PCS machines: https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/linux-laptop-compatibility.60811/

The Cosmos 17.3" only has one short mention but it did work OK, also worth noting that was 19.04 installed and the 19.10 Ubuntu and versions of have been a lot less incident free, Have no idea about fan noise.

If you go ahead with an order please let is know how you get on with it as it will help others. PCS do not offer Linux support so we rely on information from the various 'nix users on here.
