What do you get in the first ever Fedora branded laptop by @slimbook?

* 16” 16:10 sRGB 99%
* 3K display 90Hz
* Intel® Core™ i7-12700H 20 threads
* Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 Ti
* Up to 64GB RAM
* Up to 4TB Nvme SSD
* 82WH battery
* 1.5 kg weight

All running and tested on Fedora Workstation, with the Fedora logo on the back of the lid and on the *super key*.

As part of supporting free and open source software, @slimbook will be donating 3% of the revenue of each Fedora Slimbook sale to the @gnome Foundation, because this laptop comes with unmodified Fedora Workstation out of the box!

We’re grateful for @slimbook choosing Fedora as a distro they want to support with a product launch. Our hardware partner initiative is one we're trying to grow this year, and the Fedora Slimbook is a valuable part of that. ❤️

Make sure to check it out! fedora.slimbook.es/

@fedora Oh, that's great news! Any plans to do version with AMD CPU?

@fedora hopefully it'll come in the KDE variant in the future too.

@fedora thats very nice. I would like to buy one here in Brazil. 🙂

@fedora @slimbook it's nice and all but I'm still baffled it doesn't have an AMD CPU and GPU

@fedora @slimbook I don’t think there can be a good Wayland experience due to Nvidia, however it’s brilliant to choose a 3K display as it’s a nice option for integer (2x) scaling.

@fedora @slimbook take out the nvidia and make the display 1080p and i’m sold

@fedora @slimbook
€1800? I can get 1 ½ iPhones for that.
Pass.

@fedora @slimbook @gnome

Wish there is an equivalent for KDE as well to have a choice of where to support

@toran @slimbook @gnome As of now this will just ship Fedora Workstation.

@toran

Hello! This particular model comes with FEDORA, as the name suggests :) fedora.slimbook.es/

But if you are interested in a collaboration with KDE, it exists! And we have been collaborating with them for years. The model is this : kde.slimbook.es/

@fedora @slimbook @gnome Nice!

However I would prefer a Silverblue edition. Hope the atomic version gets the main version soon.

@fedora @slimbook I would love to know how the noise level is and how long the battery lasts.

@fedora @frameworkcomputer This looks like a destined for the dumpster knockoff of your computer. Are you all in Spain, yet? I know your language suppprt is lacking, but you do have the Western European languages, right?

@fedora @slimbook It's so sad to see that notebook manufacturers still prefer intel+Nvidia When AMD is more efficient if it comes to CPUs, and way better supported if it comes to GPUs.

Sad. Was hoping to find a working AMD Laptop with Linux Support.

--EDIT--
I know there are a lot of good systems out there. I'm not 'complaining' about the lack of systems. I'm complaining that there is a Linux distributor which releases a device which can only run with proprietary drivers (which are STILL not able to run Wayland) and CPUs which are known for being (currently) inefficient and tend to get quite warm.
You can do better, Fedora!

@Arsimael @fedora @slimbook The Framework Laptop 16 is EXACTLY what you're looking for.

@fedora @slimbook "3K" doesn't mean anything besides trying to cash in on the also-unhelpful "4K" marketing. I'd recommend sharing the display resolution so people can make an informed decision. :)

@cassidy @fedora @slimbook@linuxrocks.online super smart, no doubt.

@fedora @slimbook who decided it should have a nvidia gpu?

@fedora @slimbook Seriously cool, but Nvidia card. 🙁

I would put this on my list next to the Star Labs System StarFighter if it used the integrated graphics. As is, it’s a no go.

@jollyrogue @fedora @slimbook came to leave essentially the same comment. Very promising, but no.

@fedora @slimbook Not with an ISO keyboard and last gen CPU and GPU.

@fedora It has a nice meta key with no Windows logo 😊

@fedora here's hoping these make it into the laptop refresh pool for associates 🤞

@janvlug Dit zijn mooie laptopjes. Heb er inmiddels twee (althans, één is doorgeschoven naar mijn vrouw), en ze bevallen goed. Veel configuratie-opties en goede prijs/kwaliteitverhouding.
Dus mocht je klaar zijn voor een nieuwe... 😉
