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

Do you guys know other brands than the ones named in the comments?

I bought a Slimbook recently and I'm very happy with it. I have Evo 14 and the performance is great, I love the keyboard and touchpad (but that's a personal preference), screen is great, DisplayPort USB-C port is great, everything works fine with Linux. Battery life is OK (I changed BIOS settings to stop charging at 60% so I'm getting maybe 1.5h out of it, charging to 100% you should get~3h). The GPU is fine, I'm able to run 7B models on it using ollama. The only issue is that it gets hot (the CPU runs at 60C when you try to do anything) but it's only an issue if you want to keep it on your lap while working.

Vant (https://www.vantpc.es/equipos/portatiles/) is another Spanish company. I have their PC and I'm also happy with it.
