Star LabTop 13.3-inch Ultrabook Linux Laptop (English UK Keyboard, Linux Mint 19.3 "Tricia")

I was looking for a laptop to replace my 2011 MBP running Linux Mint. I liked the build design of the MBP but wanted one that comes with Linux or No OS so that I can install Linus straightaway. Star Labtop ticked those boxes for me. The body is aluminium like the MBP and it came with the choice of Ubuntu or Mint. Having a PCIe SSD made it even more worthwhile.On the MBP getting out of standby with Mint installed was always an issue, but not on the Star Laptop.The only downside I think is that it has a MicroSD slot instead of the standard SD. So if you have SD cards lying around that you use for your DSLRs then you might have to use an external card reader or it's time to switch to microSD cards for your devices with a SD adapter.I was expecting the Logo on the back to be lit like the Macbook, but it isn't.

It is light, compact and fast. Programs like web browser and email client start almost immediately. The laptop had a different Linux distribution. But I could install the distribution of my choice without any problem. The support from Star Labs has been good.

This laptop is amazing. Perfect size/processor/memory combo. If you want a light, portable laptop, but don't want to sacrifice performance, this is the laptop. Great customer service as well.
