The KDE Slimbook V, first laptop πŸ’» with Plasma 6, has arrived!

Make the most of KDE's upcoming #Plasma6 desktop thanks to the KDE #Slimbook V's AMD 7840HS CPU, AMD 780M GPU and beautiful 16'' WQXGA (2560 Γ— 1600) screen, all packaged in a stylish sleek aluminium chassis.

Oh COME ON. Where was this when my laptop died a month ago? I had to replace it asap and the previous kde slimbook was already out of stock. I got a great tuxedo, but this one is the same price and much better specs... I have the worst timing. Great news for everyone else though!

@Pantherina @slimbook

Plasma 6 tars were made available to packagers yesterday. So, yes, distro packagers and OEM installers already have the software and are installing it now ready for next Wednesday's official release.

@slimbook @kde Wow. Impressing specs. I can imagine using it as my daily driver. Can you tell if Debian (Plasma) will work on it, too?

@slimbook @kde If only laptops like this were sold more often in the United States. Instead, it's always Windows or Mac, Mac or Windows. I miss the OS/2 days; it may not have been good, but at least some computers sold with a third option.

We need more Linux machines! This coming from a daily Windows user... πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
