Linux hardware vendor StarLabs announced today that its StarBook Horizon Linux-powered laptop is now on sale as a 13-inch Coreboot notebook designed for privacy and as a daily driver.
Featuring a 6061 aluminium chassis with a sand-blasted Pantone 433 finish, StarBook Horizon is powered by an Intel Alder Lake i3-N305 processor with 8 cores, 8 threads, 7W TDP, Intel UHD graphics, and 1.00 GHz clock speed, and features 32 GB 4800MT/s LPDDR5 onboard memory and 2TB Gen3 PCIe M2 2280 SSD storage.
The StarBook Horizon laptop comes with a 13.4-inch LED-backlit display featuring IPS technology, a 2520×1680 resolution at 226 pixels per inch, a 90Hz refresh rate, a 3:2 aspect ratio, 500cd/m² brightness, a 1500:1 contrast ratio, and a pre-installed privacy screen protector.
That processor though, my goodness.
IKR, wow, 32 GB of DDR5 ram (at today’s prices) being run by a gerbil wheel.
$1000 for what amounts to the processing power of a netbook with a 13 inch screen is robbery.
An i3-N305 in a regular laptop form factor for $1100? I’m good.
