In Slimbook we announce today the launch of the new KDE Slimbook VII, the seventh generation resulted from an ongoing collaboration over eight years uniting specialised hardware and top-tier free software. Something that started as a pioneer initiative to offer an optimised laptop for KDE Plasma, has been converted to a consolidated project that strengthens the role of open-source in the technology market.
Eight years collaborating, seven generations improving Linux
Since the first model, Slimbook and KDE worked together with a precise objective: offer the user a fast, modern, sustainable and 100% ready to enjoy KDE Plasma from the first boot.
This seventh edition reflects this evolution: a more solid design, fluid screen and a big leap in performance since the project started.

The new model arrives with a combination of power, efficiency, and modernity ideal for either advanced users or developers and creators:
