Bravo! This (and coreboot) are why I own a Starbook from Starlabs.
Worth noting that the starlabs machines are equally repairable as the frameworks as well. But am extremely happy to have multiple options in the niche, will survey again when I upgrade.
- snapplebobapple 10mo agoI wish framework would support coreboot, that would be awesome.
- backscratches 10mo agoI can only recommend starlabs in that case, took me tons of research before discovering only starlabs has everything: repair ability, firmware, coreboot, compatibility, custom hardware.
- snapplebobapple 10mo agoyah, the problem is I'm pretty heavily invested in framework and already bought the newest 16" before I realized starlabs wasn't selling rebadged compal suitcase sized laptops anymore, so it'll be 3 years at least.
- backscratches 10mo agoYes fair enough I was on the fence between framework and starlabs since they seem to be only custom hardware Linux machines and am lucky I wasn't in a rush and could wait for the starlabs or I would have pulled the trigger on framework. Machines will hopefully only be better when the time comes!
- snapplebobapple 10mo agoyah, it's a small gripe really, I just really want to try out coreboot, it looks like the future. I wish windows wasn't holding back hardware development everywhere so badly.
- backscratches 10mo agoMy starbook coreboot let's me set charge limit (60%/80%/100%) as well as 3 different charging speed settings, which are incredible for a computer that remains largely docked.
- moltopoco 10mo agoI just wish their StarFighter was out already, it has been in a weird state of limbo forever. The FW16 seems easier to beat than the FW13; the 4K screen alone would be so much nicer for 2x scaling.
- backscratches 10mo agoYes their releases are slow but in exchange you get extremely good support from a small devoted team. My starbook took a year after preorder but have been so content since it arrived I won't hesitate to preorder again
