Hello Slimbook Excálibur

Courtesy of MuyLinux, I’ve become aware of the Slimbook Excálibur, a 15-inch laptop with an aluminium body and backlit keyboard.

From the video, it’s a smart-looking piece of equipment.

The machine’s specification is as follows:

  • Intel i5-6200U / i7-6500U CPU
  • Dedicated NVIDIA GeForce 940M 2GB GPU
  • 4GB / 8GB / 16GB DDR 3 RAM
  • 120GB / 250GB / 500GB SSD
  • Optional 500GB / 1TB / 2TB HDD

Slimbook has a selection of up to 11 Linux distributions, including Antergos, Debian, elementary OS, Fedora, KDE Neon, Kubuntu, Linux Mint, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Ubuntu MATE and Xubuntu, which can be pre-installed; or those desperate for their fix of proprietary can also have Windows installed instead if they pay the necessary licence fee.

Excálibur pricing starts at €799.
