StarBook 7 14" Linux Laptop with Intel Core Ultra 7, 4K, Up to 96GB 5.6GHz RAM

  • How does everyone continue to get the keyboard wrong on these?

    If the left and right arrows are full-size I know it's going to be miserable to use. Probably worse than miserable, because clearly nobody who ever uses the keyboard a serious amount has actually sat down and used it, or the arrow situation would have been fixed _immediately._ Who knows what else is terrible about the keyboard, given that it was pretty obviously not seriously tested?

    (I'm poking a bit of fun here, but this _is_ still a dealbreaker for me. I use those keys plenty, and full-height left/right arrows are indeed _miserable_ to use - it's basically impossible to quickly center your hand on them from home row.)

  • One note for anyone thinking of buying. Check the reddit threads. I bought their Linux Tablet last year and the delays were horrible. It was delivered 8 months later than they advertised and their comms was crap.

    I quite enjoy the tablet - it's a good enough system... Out of date by the time it was delivered; however, nice enough. I wouldn't have bought it at the price point had I known it was going to be so late to deliver.

  • With all these desirable cookie cutter Taiwan derivative computers out on the market it really makes you wonder when we’re going start getting BestBuy/Insignia branded laptops being sold like RadioShack used to do.

  • 5 ghz (across 8 of its 16 cores) cpu, the 5.6 is the ram.

  • What do people use 96GB RAM for? It seems these days I'm happy with cookie-cutter 32 GB and longing for more VRAM that is impossible to get.

    (And why on earth is there a dedicated USB 2.0 port? To trick people into plugging in a USB 3 device and getting terrible performance?)

  • Looks nice. Does anyone know how the keyboard feels compared to ThinkPad?

  • The N200 is a fairly wimpy processor that isn’t really meant for laptops, more low-end desktops and routers, but that explains the low price.

  • The are sold out
