About

Star Labs designs and sells premium Linux laptops and mini PCs built from the ground up for Linux users. Their hardware features open coreboot-based firmware, physical privacy controls like webcam covers and wireless kill switches, and repairable components. The company emphasizes long-term ownership with accessible parts, direct UK-based support, and no vendor lock-in.

Problem

Most laptops are designed for proprietary operating systems and lock users into vendor ecosystems, making Linux use, firmware inspection, and hardware repair difficult.

For

Linux users and privacy-conscious individuals who want full control over their hardware

How it works

Star Labs manufactures laptops and mini PCs pre-configured for Linux with coreboot firmware, physical privacy switches, and replaceable parts, sold directly to consumers with ongoing support.
