THANK YOU A LOT for the review! I was thinking about buying a Slimbook Executive (still undecided between 14” and 16” models) but I am a bit scared because it’s the first Linux laptop I’d buy (previously I was installing Linux myself on major brand hardware) and the amount of well written reviews I found online is not that big as I’m used to with major brands.

Just a couple of questions, if you have time to answer them:

  1. what do you mean with “it gets gaming laptop hot”? Like that you just feel is warmer while charging or that it becomes uncomfortable to type on it / hold it on your lap? (Laptop getting uncomfortably hot is the main downside of the previous MSI laptop I owned, that’s why I’m worrying about it)
  2. did you ever felt you would have need a discrete GPU? Or did the integrated intel one always carried all the tasks you were doing as expected?
