    Personally I don’t get the hype with any of these products. Just because they run Linux by default isn’t a strong enough selling point when I can get better specs for cheaper elsewhere and install Linux myself.

      If one can afford to pay the higher price, then Star Labs’ (or System76’ etc) laptops will offer far superior Linux support. Modern hardware from non-‘Linux-first’ vendors have shown causing troubles with ‘deep sleep’. Issues like these can and have been resolved on Star Labs’ (or System76’ etc) devices. Furthermore, they don’t only sell ‘Linux-laptops’, but they also contribute to the upstream of coreboot and other Linux projects. Thus, by buying their laptops, one is actively contributing to that cause.

    At that price, i’d just get a dell…

    Every time it’s the same…

    Why not just make a good enough laptop for a cheap price ?

    Is it just me, or is the sound the keyboard is making really bothersome? It sounds like awful banging. Can’t imagine that being pleasant.
