Slimbook Refreshes Its Creative Laptop Series with RTX 5070 and Ryzen AI 9
Spanish tech company Slimbook has refreshed its Creative laptop series, pairing an AMD Ryzen AI 9 365 with an NVIDIA RTX 5070 in a noticeably smaller chassis that weighs just 1.9 kg. The display is a 15.3-inch IPS panel at 2560 x 1600, 16:10 aspect ratio, 180 Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB, and 400 nits brightness. The Ryzen AI 9 365 brings a dedicated NPU, while the RTX 5070 runs at up to 115 W TDP with an additional 45 W headroom via Dynamic Boost. A MUX switch lets you toggle between the discrete GPU, integrated Radeon 880M, or hybrid mode depending on what you need. Memory goes up to 128 GB of DDR5-5600 across two user-accessible SO-DIMM slots, and storage tops out at 8 TB via two PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slots.
Connectivity is generous, Thunderbolt 4, two USB-A 3.2 Gen 2 on the right, one more on the left alongside a USB-C 3.2 Gen 2, dual HDMI 2.1 outputs, a Mini DisplayPort 2.1a, gigabit Ethernet, and an SD card reader. Wi-Fi is 6E on Windows or 6 on Linux, with Bluetooth 5.2. The 99.9 Wh battery supports fast charging to 40% in 30 minutes. Slimbook offers the Creative with a choice of Linux, Windows, or both. The base configuration starts at €1,799 with 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) of DDR5 RAM and a 500 GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, with options to scale up memory, storage, and OS from there.
