Configurations scale up to 128GB of DDR5-5600 memory and 16TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage across two M.2 slots.
The base model includes 16GB of RAM (two 8GB SODIMMs) and a 500GB SSD, with options to expand up to 128GB of memory and 8TB of storage, though higher configurations raise the price.
A key feature is that the laptops ship with Linux distributions such as Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and Manjaro preinstalled, while Windows installation is also available for an additional license.
This gives buyers an immediate path into the best Linux distros without extra setup.
These laptops also include a WiFi 6 card, with WiFi 7 offered as an upgrade, though Slimbook notes it currently works only in a basic capacity on Linux, indicating possible driver limitations.
The starting price of the Slimbook Evo 14 and Evo 15 is €1077 ($1,265).
