Very difficult to say ... you can't argue which one has higher quality as neither company actually "makes" a laptop and they were both likely made on the same production lines using most of the same parts.
The vast majority of laptops on the market are manufactured by a small handful of Taiwan-based Original Design Manufacturers (ODM), although their production bases are located mostly in mainland China.
Major relationships include:
Quanta sells to (among others) HP, Lenovo, Apple,
Acer, Toshiba, Dell, Sony, Fujitsu and NEC
Compal sells to (among others)
Acer, Dell, Toshiba, Lenovo and HP/Compaq
Wistron sells to Dell,
Acer, Lenovo and HP
Inventec sells to Toshiba, HP, Dell and Lenovo
Pegatron sells to
Asus, Toshiba, Apple, Dell and
Acer
Foxconn sells to
Asus, Dell, HP and Apple
Flextronics sells to HP
In this price range, I'd venture to guess that Pegatron made both.
The problem w/ most mass market brands is that they name the 2 o3 components of peak interest and then "cheap-out" on the rest. I prefer to pick each component that goes in, starting with a "barebones" and then specifying each component among the various options.

These are US distributor prices, everyone will be the same ... until you get the guy on the phone. Size of the discount depends on the total cost of the build. I have actually saved money by upgrading as in the case of a $1745 build that went to $1755 with a wireless upgrade . That pushed the cost above $1750 which made me eligible for an extra $50 on the discount.which added an extra $50 to my discount dropping my price with the upgrade to $1705 and put an extra $40 back in my pocket..
Notes on Price:
1. Clevo restricts "advertised prices"... once you call the distributor, they can make any deal they want.
2. You get the Cash Price Online Bank payments (Bill Pay, Sure Pay, etc) , Bank Wire Transfers, Business Checks & Money Orders, personal checks for Wells Fargo bank. You can use personal checks but have to wait for it to clear.

I understand if you sat "I never heard of Clevo " ... but I bet ya never heard of the companies that actually made the Asus and Acer lappies too.
