I linked to one review earlier, but there's actually a lot of evidence that WHtR is quite good against a number of populations and ages, and certainly for each individual, even if you ignore cutoffs, it will be directionally correct: C

Sadly, when it comes to Linux compatibility on laptops, "flawless" hardware compatibility is still an extremely rare exception (and even pre-installed and Linux certified laptop models like Dell XPS DE, or Lenovo ThinkPads can hav

While the StarFighter is a much more expensive product, I think the argument would be that it's fairly unique, arguably the highest end Ryzen 6000 developer laptop that an end-user can order globally (but not get delivered, sadly) atm.

In September they said the Ryzen versions wouldn't have USB4 support [1] but in November they said it would. If it's important for you it might be best to contact their support to confirm which it is. [1] https://twitte

Well, it might be a better Linux computer when it ships. The StarBook Mk VI ran about 6 months behind schedule (pre-orders are still shipping now: https://support.starlabs.systems/status/f38fed83-e6a1-454c-8... ) though
