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).

    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?

        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.
