   My guess, is this is an ODM laptop, devoid of most markings.   
   With ODM, each model can be ordered from a different company.   
   The circuit board in one of the HyBooks is made by "Eii".   
   I don't think "renowned" is quite the name I would use.   
   The word "obscure" comes to mind. They also likely don't   
   do their own fabrication, so the PCB manufacturing plant is unknown.   
   This might be a "design house", and in the Chinese system, there   
   is plenty of matrix manufacturing capability.   
      
      "Established in 2013, Eii Technology is a renowned ODM (Original Design   
   Manufacturer)   
       company located in the vibrant hub of Shenzhen's Qianhai bay. Our primary   
   focus is   
       on the production and marketing of consumer electronics, encompassing   
   notebook PCs,   
       All-in-One (AIO) computers, and tablet PCs. Our dedicated team of 120   
   professionals   
       operates from our Shenzhen headquarters, with 40% of them boasting over a   
       decade of R&D experience.   
      
   The pouch pack inside the laptop, is similarly untraceable.   
      
   It is not made by Hyundai and does not have a Hyundai part number.   
      
   This product is, unfortunately, a PCChips-like product. And really hard to   
   identify.   
      
   Now, one of the Hybook, has white lettering on the bottom of the laptop. The   
   lettering is in the center and up near the hinge end of the bottom of the unit.   
   But because the letters are only silk screened on, if the laptop   
   sits on the users lap, it's easy to wear the lettering off. And   
   that may have been the only laptop identifier, is some white text on the   
   bottom.   
      
   The circuit board has a date on it, this one is the year 2020 for example.   
   But to gain access to it, requires removal of the heat spreader plate. And   
   that means fitting it and putting the thermal paste back later.

   The whole job is not an easy task -- unless the white lettering is   
   still visible on the bottom.   
      
   Sorry,   
       Paul
