American CPU, made in Taiwan, assembled in China, and somehow European tech?
Let me know when itโs a RISC-V laptop made at STMicroelectronics with memory made at GlobalFoundries in Dresden!
The post clearly says European brands.
There is no European-made x86 CPU available.
Sadly GloFo has its headquarters in New York (state) and is owned by a UAE investor. So would you really call that European then?
Besides that it doesn't seem to produce or be capable of producing DDR5 and focuses on logic instead.
Nothing is perfect.
Are these available in the US?
Tuxedo and starlabs both ship to US. First time hearing of slimbook for me.
I genuinely thought that this was a meme about stereotypes around how different countries name products for a second.
Very good list of recommendments, also my choices!
(To be fair, there are more good ones in that thread, but I'm not complaining).
edit: also, there's Novacustom which is Dutch and lets you customise a lot of shit.
Your link didn't work for me. I had to wait several seconds for a redirect that then said "there's nothing here."
Weird, for me it says it's a blahaj zone link and works
this one uses a feddit uk link - does it work?
Yes, thanks, that one works.
Actually had a terrible experience with star labs, not recommended
What happened?
Which of them laptops have a track point and three mouse buttons so it can be actually used on the LAP?
I'd love that, but I'd also happily accept two mouse buttons and a normal touchpad over one giant buttonless panel.
How are they in terms of reparability?
I really like the ethos of framework.... alas, they are from the US. But if you are going to buy any US tech, you can't do better than them.
Yeah, I would switch from my Framework to a Slimbook if they offered upgradability.
They could make parts that work to the Framework spec, that is open source, which would he awesome.
How is the experience importing from the UK these days? I have avoided the UK at all costs since brexit. As I didn't feel like possibly having to deal with customs and delays, etc. Is it better now, including automatic taxes? Or best to still avoid it if there is a reasonable alternative?
Man, I really miss when we had home computers to rival the Americans, like the ZX81.
Anyone knows how's StarBook's support and general quality? The Horizon looks pretty damn good, but is pricy, compared to Tuxedo's Aura 14, and Tuxedo has a super cool support app built-in to their Linux distro.
Linux support? amazing, been running Debian on it no problems, everything working out of the box. Customer support? no idea, I had no need to contact them
