New KDE Slimbook Released - Plasma and KDE apps preinstalled in a sleek Ryzen 4800H Ultrabook

[Paul Brown]

*The first Ryzen-4000 series Linux Ultrabook*

Today Slimbook and KDE launch the new version of its classic KDE Slimbook. The 
third generation of this popular ultrabook comes in a stylish sleek magnesium 
alloy case that is less than 20 millimeters thick.

But it is not only slender looks that sets it apart. Under the hood beats a 
powerful, bleeding edge AMD Ryzen processor, a solid and stable Linux 
operating system, and KDE's full-featured, lightweight Plasma desktop, 
complete with a wide range of preinstalled, ready-to-use Open Source utilities 
and apps.

All combined make the KDE Slimbook a one-of-a-kind machine, a machine that is 
ready for everything, from work and casual, everyday use, gaming and 
entertainment; passing through design, animation, 3D rendering, and hardcore 
software development.

Inside the svelte body, you will find the AMD Ryzen 7 4800 H processor -- 
another first, as currently no other manufacturer offers Linux laptops with 
Ryzen 4000 series CPUs, with 8 cores and 16 threads, up to 64 GBs of DDR4 RAM 
that runs at 3200 MHz, and three USB ports, a USB-C port, an HDMI socket, a 
RJ45 for wired network connections, as well as support for the new Wifi 6 
standard.

The KDE Slimbook comes in two sizes: the 14-inch screen version weighs only 
1.1 kg, and the 15.6-inch version weighs 1.5 kg. The screens themselves are 
Full HD IPS LED panels and cover 100% the sRGB range, making colors more 
accurate and life-like, something that designers and photographers will 
appreciate.

The KDE Slimbook does not only excel in hardware, though. The modern and solid 
Linux operating system it runs provides all the features, security and privacy 
you need, while KDE's Plasma environment allows you to deploy a full home office 
with all the productivity and communications software you need. You will also 
be able to comfortably browse the web and manage social media, play games, 
watch videos and listen to music. The Ryzen 4000 CPU is also well-equipped to 
let you unleash your creativity, be it with painting apps like Krita, 3D 
design programs like Blender and FreeCAD, or video-editing software like 
Kdenlive.

If you are into software development, you are in luck too: KDE provides all 
the tools you need to code and supports your favorite languages and 
environments. Meanwhile, Slimbook's hardware is ideal for CPU-intensive tasks 
and will substantially shorten your build times.

But all this power does not come at an extra cost. The KDE Slimbook starts at 
approximately € 900, making it more affordable than most similarly-powered 
laptops.

You can find out more and order the KDE Slimbook now from Slimbook's website. 
In doing so, you will also be contributing to KDE, as Slimbook actively 
supports and sponsors KDE and donates part of the proceedings back into the 
Community.
