Slimbook Creative: A 1.9 kg Linux Powerhouse with RTX 5070, Thunderbolt 4, and a Massive 99 Wh Battery

Slimbook is positioning the Creative 15 (2026) as a powerful all-round laptop that can comfortably double as a gaming machine, thanks to its RGB-backlit keyboard and modern graphics options. It’s aimed at users who want strong performance for creative work, fast connectivity for multiple displays and peripherals, and the freedom to choose their preferred operating system.

One of the biggest selling points is flexibility on software. The Slimbook Creative 15 can be ordered with a variety of Linux distributions, making it an appealing choice for Linux-first users who want high-end laptop hardware without compromises. For those who still need Microsoft’s ecosystem, it’s also available with Windows 11. Slimbook even offers a dual-boot setup with both operating systems for an extra charge, which is useful if you want Linux for development or daily work and Windows for specific apps, workflows, or games.

On the hardware side, Slimbook equips the Creative 15 with a large 99 Wh battery and includes a 240 W charger, a combination designed to support higher-performance components while keeping you productive (or gaming) away from an outlet for longer stretches.

Connectivity is another highlight and a strong reason to consider this laptop if you rely on external monitors, fast storage, and wired networking. The port selection includes two HDMI 2.1 ports for high-refresh or high-resolution display output, Thunderbolt 4 with 40 Gbit/s bandwidth for high-speed accessories and docks, and a Mini DisplayPort 2.1a for added monitor flexibility. It also features three USB-A ports for everyday peripherals and Gigabit Ethernet for stable, low-latency wired internet.

Prices and availability are straightforward. The Slimbook Creative 15 (2026) is available now through Slimbook’s online store. A configuration featuring an AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 processor, an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Laptop GPU, 16 GB of RAM, and a 500 GB SSD is priced at €1,699 (about $1,960). Slimbook also offers shipping to the United States for an additional €50 (around $60).
