Needs a little red nub in the center of the keyboard.
The HP DevOne has one. Shame about that washed-out glossy screen (some say it has a built-in privacy filter).

The HP Dev One follows the HP EliteBook's poor design of pairing the pointing stick with 2 mouse buttons instead of 3. Without the middle mouse button, you can't scroll with the pointing stick and you'll need to use the trackpad (or apply some hack to the 2 available buttons), which makes the pointing stick a less effective tool.
Who is this targeting besides the 100 or so hackernews commenters who will actually go through and buy it. Why would I buy this over a lenovo for instance. Okay so privacy nuts who think that removing their webcam and microphone protects from the perceived spyware that is next to them on their desk in the form of an iPhone. I see nothing good about this. Inexperienced company, inexperienced in manufacturing and hardw…
lol…why would anyone buy this? It is more overpriced than an apple m2 machine.
Also, look at how expensive M2 MBPs are. Spec one out to a comparable laptop in the OP and the MBP will be more expensive.

Reference is old enough that we're not sure if you're joking.
ThinkPads are still popular, so I don't see this as a joke. A pointing stick (TrackPoint) is excellent for people who want to use both the keyboard and the mouse while moving their hands as little as possible. Unfortunately, the StarFighter has soldered memory, which is one of the main drawbacks of new ThinkPad models. Star Labs also sells the mid-range StarBook laptop with replaceable memory and the low-end StarLite…
Honestly as a business customer I can’t justify buying this unless there is an option to unbrand it. (Actually if you had a unbranding option we could sticker it with our own company logo and that could be pretty cool) Can you imagine the backlash if there’s some IT issue and someone realises that it’s not a Dell or Lenovo (why didn’t you just buy from big 2?), or how embarrassing it might be to go to a profile busin…
Is your company so hardwired to Dell and Lenovo that they can't understand competitors exist?

To support Linux-friendly hardware? For many people extra $1000 here or there doesn’t matter.
Also it's funny how on landing page it mentions 165Hz display, but in specs it is only available as an option and not for the 4K display. Not that it would even be able to drive it properly.
Looking at the specs, it seems like they are trying to build one of the worst possible Linux experiences possible. It lacks only Nvidia GPU to make it absolute garbage. I have one like that at work. Thinkpad with 4K display, and dedicated Nvidia GPU. It's not supposed to run Linux but I tried it anyway and it was very bad.

From https://us.starlabs.systems/pages/about-us > In 2017, we started using Clevo as a supplier. The result was; the Star Lite Mk I, the Star LabTop Mk II and the Star LabTop Pro Mk I. There were a vast array of options to chose from in these laptops, from wireless to memory to pre-installed distribution. You may be familiar with Clevo as they have a lot of resellers across the world. It was a step in the right direc…
Do they? I was under the impression most small brands simply resell such ODMs as Clevo or TongFang perhaps they add RAM/SSD/such -- but they do not design custom motherboards and chassis.

I just spec'd one out and it was pretty similar to the I9 MBP. Personally, I'd pay that price for a Linux laptop that's on par with a MBP.
Do we really think the build quality of these is even in the same state, much less the same ballpark, as a MBP?
