Pretty sure Clevo still does. My two notebooks ago Clevo had socketed
RAM, socketed *desktop* CPU, and socketed MXM graphics. I got burned by
that because the Haswell sockets *and* the nVidia MXM sockets were both
killed off with that generation.

If the CPU socket is a modular board then maybe it will work with newer
sockets, though you may find limits with PCI lanes.
