No way we can tell you with what you have given us.

When you boot it, is there a BIOS splash screen that has the vendor name? Perhaps enter BIOS setup and look if it goes by too fast. Even the name of the BIOS could tell you.

If you right-click My Computer, select Properties, does it list the name of the manufacturer?

Are there any manufacturer utilities in the Start menu that would give it away?

Is there no service tag with a serial number on the laptop?

You could try these:

(free version of SIW) Check under Hardware > System for the manufacturer. It will show you the manufacturer of various components as well.

And read the Sticker on it's bottom. This will have the makers Name and the Model Number of the NB.

As there are several possibilities involved here it's not possible to even suggest the maker though the most likely one is Clevo who sell Bare Bones NB's where you buy the Chassis and fit your chosen CPU, RAM, HDD, and Optical Drive.

But companies like MSI also make these so you really need to read the Specification Sticker stuck on the base of the NB.
