Nvidia graphics, weird. Looks like a Macbook. Also not a huge fan of Gnome, but still good to see them get some support.
It’s not a gaming laptop. It’s marketed as a productivity laptop - now all the rave is ML and DL so you need cuda.
What are ML and DL?
The laptop seems a bit expensive and I don’t know how repaireable and upgradeable it is, but it’s good to have some brand engaged with Linux .
ML = Machine Learning
DL = Deep Learning
Thanks 🙏
That’s a fair point, though I can’t imagine doing any of that kind of work on an ultralight, or whatever this is.
It looks nice, the specs are great, and I want one, but seriously… Nvidia? Why?
Are there any Linux laptops with AMD based dedicated graphics? 🫤
Huh. Now that you mention it, all the linux-focused manufacturers seem to be using Nvidia for dedicated graphics. That is so weird.
Yeah, that’s plain ridiculous.
Yeah, that kinda makes me think this was a rubber-stamp management approval/deal, and not “hardware picked for linux”.
Website says 1800€ (including VAT, I believe).
It is Slimbook Executive 16 with Fedora branding. And that’s good because Executive 16 seems like a great machine.
I’d love to see 14" based version tho.
I’ve been seeing this company pop up lately, so I finally checked out their offerings. Do they just routinely announce new, diverse products, only to be never revisited with a new revision? All their AMD laptops seem to be no newer than 2 generations old. Their Intel mini PC has a 5 generation old CPU. Their AMD mini PC has an option between 3 generations old, or a higher end 2 generations old CPU.
Did they hire a bunch of ex-Googlers, or something? Seeing a lack of dedication to their products pretty much immediately erases any intrigue I had.
