One note for anyone thinking of buying. Check the reddit threads. I bought their Linux Tablet last year and the delays were horrible. It was delivered 8 months later than they advertised and their comms was crap.

I quite enjoy the tablet - it's a good enough system... Out of date by the time it was delivered; however, nice enough. I wouldn't have bought it at the price point had I known it was going to be so late to deliver.

Hey, Odin here from StarLabs. I joined the team 6 weeks ago and am in charge of communications. You are spot on, most of the team answers inbound tech questions well but doesn't see online timeline queries which leads to poor comms which is why I was hired! Our production times (pre-me) were slow, and to be transparent there is little I can do until a product physically lands on my desk, only then do I get control and can ensure a product is delivered. There are steps we can do to improve this: find additional component suppliers, and possibly get funded as we are still self-funded. If you know ways we could reduce production time I would love for that to happen, it would make my life a lot easier! Best Odin
