Has anyone found a good EU laptop option? Slimbook look like they've got some good products but I'm having trouble finding reviews.

Do you guys know other brands than the ones named in the comments?

Tuxedo Computers is worth a look.

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

The laptops seem decent but the desktops are ridiculously overpriced.

[-] Nico_198X@europe.pub 9 points 1 year ago

Tuxedo. Very happy with mine.

Slimbook is Spanish I believe

I bought a Slimbook recently and I'm very happy with it. I have Evo 14 and the performance is great, I love the keyboard and touchpad (but that's a personal preference), screen is great, DisplayPort USB-C port is great, everything works fine with Linux. Battery life is OK (I changed BIOS settings to stop charging at 60% so I'm getting maybe 1.5h out of it, charging to 100% you should get~3h). The GPU is fine, I'm able to run 7B models on it using ollama. The only issue is that it gets hot (the CPU runs at 60C when you try to do anything) but it's only an issue if you want to keep it on your lap while working.

Vant (https://www.vantpc.es/equipos/portatiles/) is another Spanish company. I have their PC and I'm also happy with it.

At work we have computers from Wortmann. They also offer laptops. They come with Windows 11 pre-installed, but I'm certain that you can install an OS of your choice. These devices are distributed through IT Services that usually cater to other businesses, but as far as I can tell from their website they also offer to sell to normal customers. They seem to offer in Germany, France, Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland, United Kindom Poland, Japan and Asia

Used to live near their HQ. Their computers were all over the place 😀

Is there one as well that's Linux-based, and uses as few American/Chinese manufacturers as possible?

~~Frame.work is an option~~Nah, sorry, I thought it was EU (Netherland based) but it turns out it is not. Cool products though.

[-] SrMono@feddit.org 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Sadly/luckily OP searches for European hardware.

Like Framework?

Company: Framework® Computer BV Headquarters Address: Flight Forum 40 Ground Floor, 5657 DB Eindhoven, The Netherlands

Or am I missing something?

[-] Thorry84@feddit.nl 7 points 1 year ago

They are an American company, they just have offices in multiple places. If you change the region on the site, you will see different address.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Framework_Computer

Framework Computer, Inc. is an American laptop computer manufacturer. Headquarters San Francisco, California, United States

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

Yep, I was mislead.

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 3 points 1 year ago

I guess it's an american company after all and that headquarters are for handling EU business only. A bit misleading.

Are you a bot? That sounds like a bot response.

[-] Mihies@programming.dev 5 points 1 year ago

Well, are you a bot? That sounds like a bot question...

[-] Pirate@feddit.org -3 points 1 year ago

The question was what's a good european laptop manufacturer and you immediately reply with a US manufacturer's name so if you're not a bot you're at best a badly programmed NPC.
