Ordered a new laptop!

It's the Starlabs Starbook MkV. I guess they changed the name of their laptop because before it was called the Star Labtop. lol It's a linux based laptop that uses coreboot and has Intel Management Engine disabled. My current laptop is 9 years old so it's due time for a good upgrade!

Well it took even longer than expected but it's HERE!!! Now I have a computer again.
It has an 11th gen i7 CPU, 500GB NVME 4.0 SSD, and 32 GB of ram at 3200mhz. That's a HUGE upgrade from my old laptop with a 2nd gen i3, HDD, and 4 GB of ram. -

Congratulations on your new laptop. I know it's what you're still making use of now giving that it have been 3 years now since you bought it. What's the colour of the laptop? -

Dang! I can't believe it has been a little over two years already. Yes I still use it and it has helped me learn Linux a lot better than I had understood before.
The laptop is black and still plays modern games on medium/low. It'show I play the fangame Sonic P-06. Like I said before, I love that everythingis open source including the bios.
I really like StarLabs and would buy another of their products again. -

It's the thing with tech products, once they're not having any issues, you wouldn't know when it have been years since you purchased and have been using it.
I haven't used any StarLabs products but I will be keeping tabs on their services from now. -

Starlabs seems pretty cool. Have you tried System76? That is a company I have used for a laptop and nice.
