Looks amazing, it even has Ins key, as if they expect people to actually work on this laptop /s :) . But the price of 4200$ is out of reach for me unfortunately.
What? Hate the Insert key (break my editor button) to the point I often remap it rather that hit by mistake when missing delete. ;-)
Oh, is this actually out now? If so, great, but I took a quick look and didn't spot any third party review yet. For those interested in this laptop, personally I'd still wait for some reviews from some real world people. Some history on this laptop: - The StarFighter 16 was originally announced back in November 2022 with an original delivery timeline of 3-4 months: https://www.reddit.com/r/linuxhardware/comments/yjua…
Also completely reasonable to want reviews. We have sent out a StarFighter for review and I know he is currently testing it before publishing on YouTube, so we are hoping it will be out soon.
There are also some completely independent reviews on Reddit if they are of interest to anyone:

Unfortunately most of it will likely be HBM and datacenter GPUs and therefore useless for consumers.
Datacenter GPUs are still self contained and speak over pcie though, right? So its a form factor and cooling problem, not an insurmountable one.
This page shows an image of a laptop motherboard with socketed memory https://us.starlabs.systems/cdn/shop/products/B5i7PCB-01x200... but it actually has BGA soldered LPDDR5X. I wonder why the price difference between the 8845HS and the 285H is more than the cost of some complete 8845HS based systems. Also a shame one can't opt out of the storage or accessories like (yet another) measly 65W USB C+USB A GaN charger. O…

> You can't delete your account by self-service, you have to email dang, which is probably non-compliance because it adds friction GDPR has nothing to do with friction I beleve. Our lawyer told me that GDPR also applies to paper records, so there is some real-world friction right there. The important part that there is a right - in whatever good/broken process it is enveloped is irrelevant. Moreover does HN host PII…
Some of GDPR's language around consent for data processing (which, I will note, you only need if you don't have a legitimate and expected purpose for storing and processing it!) has implications for friction: many 'cookie popups' are not compliant because they make not giving consent harder than giving consent. But deletion requests are not so strong: if you make people really jump through hoops then you might get in…
So additional validation would surely be subject to friction.
One of the best investments I’ve ever made was to get an 8TB drive for my laptop. Never having to worry about disk space again is so nice. Consider it if you’re in the market for a new laptop.
Does it ever worry you that all 8TB could fail in one place? Do you have redundant drives (like two 4TB or four 2TB drives)? I'd be worried about having all of my storage in one place. I like to back up data to more than one place if it's important, and never have huge on-device storage because if something happens to damage it, I'm assuming it's game over for all on-device storage (rather than only part of it). I'd…

On M1 and M2 currently yes (M3 in progress). Check out the Asahi Linux project.
isn't asahi linux dead?
Their blog is quite active: https://asahilinux.org/blog/
Announcements have been quiet for a while because they have been focusing on upstreaming their kernel changes, but more recently they’ve been adding new features and working on new model support again.
