Slimbook & KDE official press release
Slimbook and KDE today announced the KDE Slimbook V, a sleek and versatile laptop for those who appreciate the speed and power of state-of-the-art hardware and the flexibility and security of free open source software.
The KDE Slimbook V is powered by a top-of-the-line AMD 7840HS CPU with 8 cores and 16 simultaneous threads, allowing you to run your entire office, compile your code and provide entertainment when you need to disconnect, both at home and on the road.
The KDE Slimbook V makes the most of its 16-inch, 2560x1600 screen thanks to an amazing AMD 780M GPU. The 780M, one of the most powerful integrated notebook GPUs to date, packs a whopping 12 cores and RDNA 3, making playing the latest and most demanding games and rendering 3D animations a breeze.
On the software side, this machine installs KDE's Plasma 6, the cutting edge of open source desktop environments. Stylish and configurable, you can make Plasma look like Windows, MacOS, or anything else you want, while still enjoying the flexibility, raw power, security, and privacy of a Linux-based software ecosystem.
Lightweight and easy to use, the new Plasma 6 comes with hundreds of applications for productivity, creativity and fun right out of the box. Whether you need to keep up with work or stay in touch via email, instant messaging or social media, Plasma has the software for you.
And when downtime rolls around, enjoy the system that Valve has endorsed as the best platform for gaming and multimedia.
For its launch, the retail price starts at 999€ with the base configuration.
