will PC Specialist resolve this issue or should i send my laptop back?

It sounds like Windows DPI scaling functioning as intended to me. If an app wasn't running in FHD that's probably down to the app not being compatible with scaling yet, a lot aren't - or because it wasn't meant to. The purpose of display scaling is to make things more readable on a smaller screen, such as web browsing. Scaling in general isn't very good on Windows at the moment (blurry text on some applications etc.) but that's very much a software issue and nothing to do with the hardware. 1920x1080 is usable on a 13.3" screen so if you should be able to turn DPI scaling off if you wish and run at the native resolution.

Tom DWC is correct that's what PCS said it was but they didn't figure it out until they had it laying around in their offices for over a week. What did work in FHD on the 13.3" screen was perfectly readable.

I can confirm this, I had the same issue but recognized it immediately. I first turned the dpi scaling down from 150% to 125%, this solved some of the issues but not all. then I went from 125% to 100% and all issues were gone, all my apps now render at 100% and everything looks very sharp and everything is still very readable for me. The dpi settings should be somewhere in the display settings of windows (not intel drivers).

I've got mine on middle setting in windows 8.1. Seems to be best combination of readable text and minimum blur. This is a windows problem that happens on all laptops with 13" FHD screens.
Another way around it is to change resolution to 900p and reduce scaling to 0.

I'll bump that question.
I also would like to know what's corresponding Clevo model. (If it's Clevo.)

EDIT: I think it's not Clevo.
Is it Topstar U731?

The "official" weight is max 1.6Kg, nonetheless I have quite recently measured one today (and already) and it weighs 1.42kg. I get it may measure more on the off chance that you put a standard hard drive in there instead of a SSD.
