It arrived! I ordered it in August, and they shipped it in June, but it did arrive (and after months of radio silence, I got lots of communication from starlabs over the last month prior to it arriving.)
Out of the box, the touch screen wasn't responding. I tinkered, and I'm not sure which bit of tinkering fixed the problem but one of them did.
The touchscreen works very well in wayland. At some point I ended up in xorg. The touchscreen does not work well in xorg.
In wayland gestures are responsive. The on screen keyboard is functional. It's the best linux tablet experience I've had so far. It is *far* from perfect, but it's pretty good!
The screen looks Wonderful. It's a little too glossy for my taste, but it's a 3:2 2880 x 1920 display, and it looks really nice.
I haven't had the thing for long enough to say anything else about it. I don't have a pen to use with it yet.
Another observation, having charged it to capacity twice now and let it discharge fully once:
The battery only charges up to 96% and dies at 2%.
Not the worst possible thing but I would expect a new device to charge to 100% and die at 1%. The former likely more important than the latter.
Hope the battery doesn’t have the same journey that the one on my StarLabs Mk IV did – it dies at around 65% or so after two years.
Oooh, ooh, ooh… look what just arrived! I’ve been waiting almost a year for it and boy was it worth the wait. My new Linux laptop is a… tablet? Yep. The StarLabs StarLite.
Oh and the screen on this thing! 😍
