> 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

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.

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.
