## Social Media Posts

### In English

I'm separating the posts into smaller chunks for Twitter and Mastodon, but for other platforms like Instagram where it makes more sense to have one long post we can merge all of these together.

**Post 1:**

We're grateful for Slimbook choosing Fedora as a distro they want to support with a product launch. It makes Fedora Linux more accessible for people inside and outside of the Linux community to try Fedora.

## Comm Blog Discount Post

Title: Fedora Slimbook Contributor Discount

The team at Slimbook is giving a discount for Red Hat employees and Fedora contributors on the [new Fedora Slimbook](https://fedora.slimbook.es/)! If you're interested, send an email to [e-mail] from or with your @redhat.com or @fedoraproject.org email address. From there Slimbook will coordinate to place your order. More details on the discount can be found [here](https://slimbook.es/en/fedora-members-discount).

For Fedora contributors, you're able to get an email alias that will forward received emails to the email address you're using in your Fedora Account. If you have a Fedora Account, then you probably also have an @fedoraproject.org email alias. See [here](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EmailAliases) for more details on how that works!

Thanks to Slimbook for offering this discount to the people who make Fedora happen!

#### Slimbook & Fedora Updates: Introducing the Fedora Slimbook 14"

It's been about a month since we announced the Fedora Slimbook laptop as the first step in our partnership with Slimbook to see Fedora Linux preinstalled on more devices. The feedback we've received has been great! With that, we wanted to share more news from our hardware parter that we hope is exciting for you.

**Fedora Slimbook 14"**

As awesome as the Fedora Slimbook 16" is, we heard many of you express concerns over the size of the laptop or the Nvidia card, wishing there was a smaller option available. So Slimbook answered the call with the smaller Fedora Slimbook 14" for those who prefer it - still with the great Fedora branding on the back of the lid and on the super key AND Fedora Workstation preinstalled!

Key Features:

- No Nvidia GPU: In some ways it's odd to list this as a feature, but for those who want to make sure the default Fedora experience covers all of the hardware, here you go!
- Intel i7-12700H Processor: Experience top-notch performance for all your computing needs.
- 99Wh Battery: Stay productive and connected on the go with an extended all day long battery life.
- Lightweight 1.25Kg: Carry it effortlessly wherever you go without the extra weight.
- Magnesium Chassis: A sleek and durable construction.
- 2880 x 1800 Resolution: Enjoy vibrant visuals and crisp details on a high-resolution display.
- 99% sRGB Color Accuracy: Perfect for design, media, and content creation.

Same as with the Fedora Slimbook 16", 3% of the revenue from each Fedora Slimbook sale will be donated to the GNOME Foundation.

Hopefully the Fedora Slimbook 14" can give you the right mix of power and portability while showing off your Fedora love! Find more details at https://fedora.slimbook.es/.

**Discounts**

Slimbook is also being generous with the Fedora community by offering two discounts you can apply!

To celebrate the release of Fedora Linux 39, Slimbook is offering a €100 discount on both Fedora Slimbooks! This will be available for a limited time.

Besides that there is also the Fedora contributor discount which gives you an additional €100 off! If you're a contributor to the Fedora Project you can find more info on how to get this discount from [this Community Blog post](https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-slimbook-contributor-discount/).

**Slimbook joins the neighborhood**

As part of our partnership with Slimbook, we want to make troubleshooting these machines something that's easy for Slimbook and easy for the community. To that end, Slimbook will be getting it's own section in Fedora Discussion alongside CentOS and Asahi Linux as a Fedora Neighbor. This forum section will be specifically for troubleshooting and discussing the Fedora Slimbooks as Slimbook maintains [their own forum for the rest of their products](https://slimbook.es/en/forum). Join us in their new section [here](Fedora Slimbook forum section link goes here)!

New Fedora Slimbook, discounts, and a new space to talk about the laptops! Slimbook has been great to work with as we develop this partnership to make Linux more accessible on hardware. We hope that these announcements are exciting for you as Fedora continues to focus on our hardware partner initiative.
