Has anyone found a good EU laptop option? Slimbook look like they've got some good products but I'm having trouble finding reviews.

Lenovo. Not European, but the best at the moment.

They're not the best. They're going the Apple way year after year. If you want a good modular/repairable laptop, go with Framework.

To be fair, they're getting better again, for example I was pleasantly surprised that the T14 G5 had two RAM banks, nothing soldered, which was de facto default in most Lenovo laptops for the last years.

The X1 Is a great corporate laptop, but I wouldn't say they're a great choice for end users, especially the Lemmy user subset. But maybe a used ThinkPad sold from a European could be a good choice ;)
