Looks generic, and has the stereotypical abysmal keyboard and trackpad as any laptop made in the past 10+ years. Put this in a room with a few other laptops and it'd be hard to pick it out from the crowd. The only thing it has going for it are the raw specs, but it's eventually marred by the price for what is a poor typing and trackpad experience.
- backscratches 5mo agoThe hardware is designed in house and is the only trackpad that approaches macbook levels
- guywithahat 5mo agoYeah starlabs uses a lot of glass trackpads in their products and are known for good builds; certainly this will be better than a thinkpad or something. The common complaints for their laptops are usually battery life (I know the horizon battery life was famously abysmal, roughly 3 hours of use), although I'm not sure how long this battery will last.
- ghostpepper 5mo agoThey claim it has a haptic trackpad, so I don't think that's what most manufacturers use.

- fishgoesblub 5mo agoIt is the common buttonless style that is annoying to use compared to something with actual mouse buttons like an older Thinkpad.
- happymellon 5mo agoThat is not haptic feedback touchpads. > A haptic feedback trackpad is a stationary, non-moving touchpad that uses motors (like Apple's Taptic Engine) to simulate the physical sensation of a click.
