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

Bought a slimbook before covid. 14" in 13" frame. Still use it today because whenever something needs replacing it turns out I can get the parts and do it.

Read the spec sheets so you're certain the usb-c port has power delivery and display port and such. Camera and microphone seemed lower quality. Keyboard was harder than Lenovo but way better than butterfly mac after the latter had any dust. Many manuals are Spanish (which I do not speak). Cooling was improperly executed (but my specific laptop was used for testing so perhaps something wasn't right there) but still gets the job done.

The display is way better than similarly priced competitors. Since I bought this many around me have bought similar laptops (Tuxedo, BTO, Starlabs, ...). Support is very accommodating over email.

I wanted to buy their newer model but I have no reason to so I'm still on what I bought back then.
