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

It's a tricky one! Ideally I'd like fully manufactured in the EU, but that seems pretty unrealistic, so I'm looking at options (like slimbook) where they maybe do final assembly and some of the software and support locally, and probably put linux on it.
