> Have they actually made one yet?

Exactly. No real laptops so far; no videos with honest in-depth reviews; no information on the dirability of these machines.

If something is too good to be true, it likely is.

I guess it was for the discerning - but not too discerning - buyer

YouTube has review videos

I am typing this on their latest StarBook. It's a great machine. As for durability, it has an aluminium body and seems sturdily built. I expect it to last a good few years.

would you be able to share a video or blog review of this thing ?

If you are talking about YouTube reviews. Please tell me where you find in-depth honest reviews.

Because every channel I have seen on anything...Is claiming independent reviews, while getting product test samples loaned for 1 or 2 years. Engaging on a direct contact with the marketing departments of the vendors, and working under the certainty that if they ever do a thoughtful and true review with a bad rating, the vendor wont send any more samples.

linus tech tips?

Linus seems a nice guy, but with 20 or more employees, and a channel that needs to review products first, works with embargoes organized by the vendors. As any YouTube business, competes for views. A really bad (honest?) review won't get him more samples. So the incentives are on the wrong place.

There are comments here from people that have them. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34760276

There’s an entire subreddit that has people discussing theirs.

I mean, all their laptops looks like that, and they have a pretty good track record of following through. I'm in the market for a new laptop, and a 4-5 month lead time is a bit too far out. Maybe I'll purchase one when they're actually shipping, but by then I'm sure I'll be happy with whatever frankentop I cobble together.

You can buy the Starbook, and there are reviews on youtube.

There are pics of a protoype in their Twitter feed. Also you can see lots of pics/videos of their previous model laptops: https://twitter.com/starlabsltd/

(Star Labs has been around for years making Linux laptops)
