Looks nice. Does anyone know how the keyboard feels compared to ThinkPad?
Hey, Odin here from Starlabs! I tried to push the website live on Friday but we didn't get the product pics in time. Sean (Foudner) pushed the updates live over the weekend, this is why its now visible. I am soon to make a few announcements across our platforms and open orders. (We haven't sold out, we haven't opened orders yet). Our ecom site displays it as "Sold out" but that's not the case, we haven't started orde…

The N200 is a fairly wimpy processor that isn’t really meant for laptops, more low-end desktops and routers, but that explains the low price.
Hey, I'm not the biggest N200 fan (No pun intended).
Some people NEED battery life and want a quiet experience so this is tailored for those people, it also happens to be cheaper. We're talking about a Linux device that is cheap and would be powerful enough for a lot of the non-techies.
We also needed another option as we aren't doing AMD anymore....
A lot of our Linux users typically work in tech-related jobs and move heavy files/code which is who the Ultra Core 7 model is aimed at. I would love the Ultra Core 7 but if I was a light user I'd prefer the N200 which is cheaper.
Hope this helps, we aren't trying to charge super computer prices for an N200, instead just giving the free-market the option.

One note for anyone thinking of buying. Check the reddit threads. I bought their Linux Tablet last year and the delays were horrible. It was delivered 8 months later than they advertised and their comms was crap. I quite enjoy the tablet - it's a good enough system... Out of date by the time it was delivered; however, nice enough. I wouldn't have bought it at the price point had I known it was going to be so late to…
Hey, Odin here from StarLabs. I joined the team 6 weeks ago and am in charge of communications. You are spot on, most of the team answers inbound tech questions well but doesn't see online timeline queries which leads to poor comms which is why I was hired! Our production times (pre-me) were slow, and to be transparent there is little I can do until a product physically lands on my desk, only then do I get control and can ensure a product is delivered. There are steps we can do to improve this: find additional component suppliers, and possibly get funded as we are still self-funded. If you know ways we could reduce production time I would love for that to happen, it would make my life a lot easier!

How does everyone continue to get the keyboard wrong on these? If the left and right arrows are full-size I know it's going to be miserable to use. Probably worse than miserable, because clearly nobody who ever uses the keyboard a serious amount has actually sat down and used it, or the arrow situation would have been fixed _immediately._ Who knows what else is terrible about the keyboard, given that it was pretty ob…
