Sigh, found the reason für my #Starbook not booting: defect SODIMM RAM module.
Well, at least not #Debian unstable at fault this time. Maybe I can run memtest on the weekend.

I'm looking at Linux laptops, to replace a MBPro2014. The tongfang ultrabook 14" looks well up to it, but there's other options, like a Slimbook, Starbook or Tuxedo Infinitybook Pro. All similar cost approx €1200. I also read Mint is the best desktop experience if you're a Linux newbie. Any thoughts or advice appreciated.

@cichy1173 I have to agree. My interactions with them after I had a few teething issues after getting my #StarBook (due to my inexperience of Linux on desktop) were all very positive. They were friendly and patient and got everything sorted.
The StarBook is a lovely laptop too. It’s my daily driver for my dev work. Love it. :)

Why is choosing equipment from Star Labs more than just buying a physical product? I have found this out in previous days.

After a failed firmware update, Star Labs staff were happy to help me solve the problem. When these methods failed, they offered their own repair. It doesn't sound particularly special yet but the fact of offering a free repair after my failed update was nice. So I sent the laptop back to the UK.

Afterwards, I was left heavily surprised. Firstly, the company was happy to accelerate the repair process and also chose express delivery because they knew I needed the laptop for a college class at the weekend. However, when my package was held up by DHL for customs inspection (and the DHL helpline was not very helpful), I could always call Star Labs. I called them every day for a few days asking for various details and told them about more problems. They showed me how to fill in each statement in right way.

While it was each subsequent email from DHL that stressed me out, I knew I had someone to turn to for help, I had someone to call. It was a huge relief and comfort.

The finale was that the package actually reached me and I was not faced with any additional costs (which is exactly as it should be). The day after receiving the package I still received an email asking if everything was OK.

Star Labs is not just a laptop manufacturer. It's a company run by people for people.

Ordered a for me yesterday. Mightily excited about my first Linux-at-birth machine!
Does anyone in have experience shipping from their UK workshop? I'm hoping the import duty won't be more than the money I would've been forced to pay for a Windows malware on hardware I'd buy domestically.

🇬🇧 A few days ago I started a new little project.

The laptops are great, but it can be difficult to understand the various things associated with them, especially since we don't know where to look for knowledge.
That's why I've built a page to be a some sort of documentation for users.

🇵🇱 Kilka dni temu rozpocząłem nowy, mały projekt.

Laptopy są świetne, ale zrozumienie poszczególnych rzeczy z nimi związanych może być trudne, tym bardziej, że nie wiadomo gdzie szukać wiedzy.
Dlatego zbudowałem stronę, która ma być pewnego rodzaju dokumentacją dla użytkowników.

Does anyone know the #laptops of it.starlabs.systems?

Are you comfortable working with these PCs?

I see that the price is still high compared to other brands.
