Star Labs StarBook Mk VII
Coreboot firmware and a 625-nit 4K matte panel, but that 4K screen is 60 Hz only and the cheaper N200 tier is too weak for development. UK vendor, EU buyers should check post-Brexit duty.
Compiled from public sources and community data, not hands-on tested. What that means.
Best on ubuntu LTS. Confidence: high
