How much you want to bet that they'll forget about the archeology feature just like all the other promised yet "Future" features and mobs?

At least two things mentioned here might be solved in 5.22 afaik. And of course more improvements may come before 5.22 is released.

Neat game. Does need more work before I'd consider getting it though. It looks quite rough.

I'm willing to sell mine. It's lightly used, but in good condition.

Too bad it doesn't support Wayland now that Xorg is abandoned.

Quoting: DragunovI really miss having physical buttons with the trackpad on laptops. The touch-only pads just annoy me. I always end up using an external USB Mouse. I only want the touchpad to move the mouse. I don't need any fancy gestures.

My favorite was the green Eraserhead mouse on the early Toshiba Laptops, it was similiar to the trackpoint on the Thinkpads, and had two physical buttons for Left-Right Click.

Other than that this Laptop looks Beautiful. If it came with a Ryzen 5 4500u or Ryzen 7 4700u I'd probably buy it.
I wonder if the Speakers and Camera are any good.
I've had my Starlabs MK 4 for about a month. The camera is like any laptop camera... meh, it works...

The speakers are quite good, though they are not as big as they seem in the renderings, as there simply isn't enough room for them to be the full length... they are about an inch long, and the rest of the length as seen in the renderings is just a laser etched dot pattern.

The trackpad in my opinion is one of the best I've experienced since the last physical button trackpad laptop i had in around 2010. I probably would still like to have the physical buttons, but with that said this glass trackpad feels absolutely amazing. It's got a nice firm click when you press down, and the glass surface is extremely smooth and soft to glide across.

To the people complaining about 8GBs of ram not being enough, this is a classic example of Wirths law in action. There is absolutely no reason for 8GBs of ram not being enough for casual use of a computer. Even 4GBs should be enough for light workloads.

Tempting. Even more tempting is getting Space Crew which just came out.
