We heard your feedback during the launch of the Fedora Slimbook 16 and, along with the folks from Slimbook, bring you the new Fedora Slimbook 14, a smaller, lighter, cheaper with even better battery life, version of the Fedora Slimbook, powered by an Intel CPU and GPU (unfortunetely no AMD version soon).

    Yeah, they could do a better job by having a big button directing people to buy it at the website, but if you go to the “Buy” option in the top bar you’ll find it among all of their other offerings.

    €1100 with the current F39 release discount and €1000 with the extra €100 discount for Fedora contributors

      That’s incredibly overpriced for the spec and what you’re getting. Ouch. Why can’t somebody make a decent laptop that’s actually remotely cost competitive with a bog standard Windows laptop that I can just randomly buy at my local store?

        Why can’t mom and pop store compete with Costco?

        This how you sound.

          This isn’t a jar of honey it’s a mass produced electronic device that’s only made in a select few factories in the world with some custom branding on it. Lenovo has just given them some old stock which they’re trying to flip. Very different scenario to a mom and pop store entirely.

        Umm, check Lenovo, they are our partners at Fedora as well and have decently priced Fedora-preinstalled hardware as well. The thing with smaller companies is that they have smaller reserves and less stock than the tech giants like DELL or Lenovo.

          This is a laptop with a 2 generation old processor and no real GPU being sold for about the same price as a Lenovo laptop with a Ryzen 7 + 4060 GPU in it. I think Lenovo scammed you.
