Seconded. Graphene has spoiled me. Here's to hoping graphene's future collaboration with an OEM results in a small physical keyboard device! Not holding my breath, and will choose graphene over any other feature.

This one says the keyboard is touch sensitive, like the old android blackberries, so you can still do some swipe gestures

Starlabs are good quality Linux laptops, designed in house. Love my starbook

I don't remember where but heard it was Nothing

Seconded. Coreboot and lvfs firmware upgrades and completely repairable with inventory parts.

Can't recommend starlabs enough, fully replaceable everything, coreboot, modern specs, Linux compat, firmware over lvfs

Thanks for the rec, didn't know they had moved on from Clevo designs to their own board design made by Quanta/Compal/Wistrom etc.

Didn't know they were rebadging in the past, they've been using their own hardware designs for at least 6 years.

Bravo! This (and coreboot) are why I own a Starbook from Starlabs.

Worth noting that the starlabs machines are equally repairable as the frameworks as well. But am extremely happy to have multiple options in the niche, will survey again when I upgrade.

I just wish their StarFighter was out already, it has been in a weird state of limbo forever. The FW16 seems easier to beat than the FW13; the 4K screen alone would be so much nicer for 2x scaling.

Yes their releases are slow but in exchange you get extremely good support from a small devoted team. My starbook took a year after preorder but have been so content since it arrived I won't hesitate to preorder again

I wish framework would support coreboot, that would be awesome.

I can only recommend starlabs in that case, took me tons of research before discovering only starlabs has everything: repair ability, firmware, coreboot, compatibility, custom hardware.

yah, the problem is I'm pretty heavily invested in framework and already bought the newest 16" before I realized starlabs wasn't selling rebadged compal suitcase sized laptops anymore, so it'll be 3 years at least.

Yes fair enough I was on the fence between framework and starlabs since they seem to be only custom hardware Linux machines and am lucky I wasn't in a rush and could wait for the starlabs or I would have pulled the trigger on framework. Machines will hopefully only be better when the time comes!

yah, it's a small gripe really, I just really want to try out coreboot, it looks like the future. I wish windows wasn't holding back hardware development everywhere so badly.

My starbook coreboot let's me set charge limit (60%/80%/100%) as well as 3 different charging speed settings, which are incredible for a computer that remains largely docked.

~25 years from conception to maturity, millions and billions of years of brute force development... There is a lot of energy involved in typing this sentence to you. I am not sure LLMs use more.

Yes, but the inference cost of humans is extremely low. We're constantly making decisions and generating thoughts, most subconscious, while using extremely little energy. It's remarkable how energy efficient the human body and mind, and animals in general, are.

Yes it is impressive but the front loading shouldn't be dismissed

But LLMs don’t get a pass on the billions of years of front loading either. I mean, I see what you’re saying, and I get your point for sure, but my point is that we should be able to find a more clever way to accomplish this that builds off our billions of years of front loading. LLMs seem like the lazy way out in a way.

Fantastic tool.

I think they meant once cooked you can eat it for 3 days worth of meals (in other words it is easy to cook a large quantity)
