Slimbook Executive, long-term usage report 1
I am very happy with the laptop. Buying a new machine is always a gamble, even more so if you go with Linux as your operating system of choice. But the Executive does a fantastic job. Yes, there were some problems and niggles, mostly on the software side. I hope they will remain in the past, and will not resurface at some point in the future. My productivity is high, the keyboard is excellent (even with the weird power button), the heating can be a little annoying, but it's nothing major, and the battery delivers a mighty punch.
The Plasma desktop is a joy of sleek elegance and extreme yet understated customization, which never gets in your face if you don't want it to, a common (pet) peeve voiced by people who don't really use Plasma as their daily driver. Anyway, all in all, pretty jolly for the first month, the first report. Coincidentally, the results with this machine also give me extra confidence that I can fully and totally ditch Windows in the next year or so, save perhaps an odd, locked-down '10 box used purely for gaming. Well, see you around for more Linux fun!
