Company Spanish Slimbook We were surprised today by the social networks that we closely follow what these Valencians do. It was certainly not something expected, and they have advanced a new range of equipment that will come with GNU / Linux distributions and pre-installed free software. This time they have launched its first desktop range under the name Kymera. The Kymera project includes two tower models that we will talk about now.
With Kymera, Linux users will have a good tower on which to complete their home desktop, for the company and also for gaming as we will see now. That is, a tower to build a powerful and stylish desktop PC that will accompany other accessories and products that you can find in the store Slimbook website. Specifically, you will have two options to choose from: Ventus and Aqua. Both models have been designed and manufactured without forgetting GNU / Linux and the high quality materials as Slimbook people are accustomed to us, such as aluminum, and components from leading brands.
The first of them, Kymera Ventus is the most affordable option, and it is the one we see in the previous image of this article. And if you are wondering what it keeps under the case:

As a great personality from the world of free software once told me, not only contributes providing code, also with other actions and in this case it comes from the hand of Slimbook to expand Linux by providing hardware ...
Off topic ... after dinner? And if I want to use the equipment under the table ... should I buy another one, a "low table"? What if I install it inside the furniture… should I buy a… «inside»?
Sorry for the joke, it is that I find the name 'desktop' to desktop computers curious, I think it is the first time that I hear it, when they are generally called desktop computers, as well as laptops or mobile computers are called notebooks , laptops and their friends.
It's probably a regionalism I'm not used to. Is it a common denomination in some places? It's interesting, I didn't know her.
It is not a regionalism… It is correct. What should not be is that we use English words when we have our own samples.
In Spain, at least, the two terms are common: desktop and desktop.
Exact!
"Sobremesa" is the Spanish translation of "Desktop" ... The funny thing is trying to use English words to seem more "cool" when in Spanish the correct word is "Sobremesa"
Thanks for the clarification.
In Argentina we use the denomination of «desktop» computers, since it is understood that they are used in such furniture, and that therefore the CPU of the PC can go on the desk, or under it on a shelf that said desk can bring dedicated to this.
CPU as a synonym for tower (or cabinet as I think they call it in South America) is archaic and totally wrong.
CPU (Central Processing Unit) = microprocessor ...
I know what microprocessor means, but here in our country it is customary to call the PC tower like that
