      There are lot’s of reasons not to do so, but the most important one is probably that Slimbook uses barebones from Tongfang. You can configure the barebones to some extend but mostly only screen resolution, cpu, gpu and cooling. The smaller things like USB ports are not as configurable as you might thing.

        It’s still a thousand bucks new laptop that doesn’t compete on connectivity. A USB 4 connection to a dock van turn this into a very capable workstation.

      I also wish it would have a bigger battery. 67 watt hours is pretty low for a 16 inch computer. I never understood why these manufacturers stick with exclusively the lowest specs possible while still delivering a technically acceptable laptop.

        Right? Even MacBook Pros have larger batteries in the 14 inch and 16 inch lineup.

          That’s only up to 11 hours. Ryzen 7000 series can get pretty thirsty when you start doing a lot. My current laptop is rated for 10 hours of battery life, but I usually get about 2-3 on a good day. My Ryzen 5000 series laptop is really good at low loads, but 6 cores will drink through it’s 57 watt hour battery, and that’s with a 14 inch screen and an “U” CPU.

          IMO any laptop that’s 15" or bigger should have at minimum a 90 watt hour battery.
