Slimbook has refreshed its Creative laptop with a new configuration combining AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 365 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070, delivering full-power CPU and GPU performance in a 4.18 lb (1.9 kg) chassis. The configuration pairs a high-TGP RTX 5000 series with a relatively lightweight design, a combination that remains uncommon in this segment.
The updated model retains a 15.3-inch form factor but reduces its overall footprint compared to the previous generation while maintaining a metal chassis and a 99Wh battery. Laptops with similar GPU power typically come in noticeably heavier designs, making the reduction in size a key part of this refresh .
The laptop is powered by AMD’s Ryzen AI 9 365, a 10-core, 20-thread processor based on Zen 5 architecture with a 24MB cache, part of AMD’s broader Ryzen AI 400 platform. It includes an integrated NPU rated at 73 TOPS, allowing the laptop to handle local AI workloads alongside traditional CPU-intensive tasks.
This version comes with NVIDIA’s GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card which is based on the Blackwell architecture, featuring 4608 CUDA cores and 8GB of GDDR7 memory, following earlier listings of RTX 5070 laptop GPUs. The GPU operates at up to 115W TGP, with an additional 45W available through Dynamic Boost. Slimbook also lists AI performance reaching around 798 TOPS, reflecting the GPU’s role in accelerating AI-driven workloads .
A hardware MUX switch allows switching between the RTX 5070, the integrated Radeon 880M graphics, or hybrid mode depending on workload.
The display is a 15.3-inch 2560 × 1600 IPS panel with a 180Hz refresh rate, 100% sRGB coverage, and 400 nits brightness. The panel uses an anti-glare finish and a 16:10 aspect ratio suited for both content creation and high refresh workloads .
Memory and storage remain fully configurable. The laptop supports up to 128GB DDR5-5600 across two SO-DIMM slots and up to 8TB of storage through dual PCIe 4.0 M.2 slots.
Thermal design uses dual fans and five copper heat pipes, paired with selectable performance modes. Power profiles range from lower 45W configurations up to sustained levels around 100W depending on the selected mode.
Connectivity includes dual HDMI 2.1 outputs, Mini DisplayPort 2.1a, Thunderbolt 4, USB-C 3.2 Gen2, three USB-A ports, Gigabit Ethernet, and an SD card reader. Wireless connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2, with OS options covering Linux, Windows, or dual-boot configurations.
The laptop uses a 99Wh battery and supports fast charging, reaching around 40% in 30 minutes. It ships with a 240W adapter to support combined CPU and GPU power requirements.
