Exactly one month ago, the collaboration between Fedora and Slimbook, a Spain-based computer manufacturer, resulted in the launch of the Fedora Slimbook 16<\/a> laptop, much to the excitement of Linux enthusiasts, especially those fond of Fedora.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, we see its successor in a more compact size, with some technical differences, but at a more affordable price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like the 16\u2033 model, the new Fedora Slimbook is powered by the 14-cores Intel i7-12700H, known for its high performance and energy efficiency. It is a suitable choice for power users who require robust computing capabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the same time, the differences are mainly in the display and the video card. Here\u2019s more detail on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests, unlike its 16-inch predecessor, the Fedora Slimbook 14 has a more compact omni-resolution XWGA 14-inch display offering 2880x1800px.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second big difference is in the GPU used. Fedora Slimbook 14 replaces the discrete NVIDIA RTX 3050Ti GPU used in the 16″ model with Intel Iris Xe for a more standard user experience. Interestingly, this is highlighted as a feature in the Fedora announcement<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

No Nvidia GPU: In some ways it\u2019s odd to list this as a feature, but for those who want to make sure the default Fedora experience covers all of the hardware, here you go!<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Predictably, these modifications have led to a more compact design for the laptop. It now weighs a mere 1.25 Kg and has slimmed down to a thickness of just 15 mm, shaving off 5 mm compared to the 16-inch model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, we now have a more powerful 99WH battery providing day-long usage. These are the technical specifications for Fedora Slimbook 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the thing that makes the difference here is the operating system. As the name suggests, the laptop comes preinstalled with Fedora Workstation<\/a>, rigorously tested, and carefully curated to deliver a high-quality experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, with its sleek design, the Fedora Slimbook 14 laptop is poised to meet the needs of a wide range of users and redefine what Fedora fans can expect from their hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, its smaller screen size does not compromise display quality or performance, making it an ideal choice for those who value efficiency and elegance in equal measure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can refer to the manufacturer\u2019s website<\/a> for more detailed information about the laptop. Fedora Slimbook 14 is available for order and is priced at \u20ac1,299.<\/strong> There is, however, a pleasant surprise. To celebrate Fedora 39 release, customers get \u20ac100 discount.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
