![]() ![]() Unlike some of the competition from more established, larger OEMs, there’s no shortage of ports here. They did not read this review before publication, and placed zero restrictions on anything I could write about. ![]() Despite being relatively small, the laptop has ample room for storage – it comes with two M.2 slots, one at PCIe 4x and one at PCIe 2x, for an out-of-factory configurable total of 4TB of storage.įull disclosure: Slimbook sent us the Executive as a loan, and it will be returned to them. It has two RAM slots for a maximum total of 64GB of RAM my review unit was configured with 16GB of RAM, which is more than enough for a modern Linux distribution on such a portable machine. Instead of AMD, the Executive is powered by Intel’s Core i7-1165G7, with 4 cores and 8 threads, paired with Intel’s Iris Xe integrated graphics. I find magnesium more pleasant to touch and hold – it’s not as cold and harsh as aluminium, and it’s lighter too, which makes sense for an ultraportable laptop like this one. Like the KDE Slimbook, it is also made from magnesium, which I find much more pleasant to handle than aluminium. The Slimbook Executive is 14″ ultrabook weighing in at a mere 1kg.

I’ve been using and testing one for the last few months, and I can confidently say the KDE Slimbook was not a fluke. Luckily, Slimbook has an offering in this segment too: the Slimbook Executive. The KDE Slimbook’s 15 inches is just a bit too wide for me to be comfortable, and I’d much rather have something in the area of 13-14 inches. That being said – personally, I prefer smaller laptops. It came with tons of power, unobtrusive fans, a great design, and a fair price tag. I found it to be an excellent laptop, which left little to be desired for anyone in the market for a laptop of that size. Late last year, we reviewed Slimbook’s KDE Slimbook, a special version of the Spanish’ Linux OEM’s 15″ laptop made in collaboration with the KDE project.
