This is basically the Microsoft Surface Pro killer! And the packaging has style like apple! Star labs really should get more attention by bigger tech reviewers because THIS is awesome!
Maybe not a killer yet, but on the right way!!
At least a surface go killer, I'm on a surface go 1 running ubuntu with 4gb ram, 64gb ssd. The starlite would be a huge upgrade.

More like Surface Go killer. To beat Surface Pro, it needs at least Intel Core i5 or AMD Ryzen 5.
I got my surface pro 6 for less than 1/3 the price than this and it has a nicer screen and better processing. Just slapped Arch with the Linux surface kernel on there. However, I'd consider getting one of these as a brand new Linux tablet when I inevitably break mine
Got mine last week! It is awsome. Running Zorin OS 17 (wayland) with waydroid (no Google) all is working well. battery live is about 7 to 8 hour in power saver mode. The onscreen keyboard can be enabled at login without the cover. and the best part is the freedom to run what ever i want no microsoft or google! (had to post this on my old tablet that has google spying on me)
Sounds awesome! Have not tried out ZorinOS yet on it.
I have it and use it also for a week now. This is amazing. For now, using it more like a small laptop, but it’s doing it really great.
With docking station, I’m getting a full desktop-like computer, with a big touch screen. I recommend it for people that like small form factor computer 2 in 1. This will not replace my IPad Pro, but it’ll be my main laptop now, much more transportable than my 16inch workstation laptop.
And if people are wondering, Ubuntu works perfectly with touch screen. So yes, a real Linux tablet (IPad or Surface killer), and FANLESS!!
Do agree, its is a true Linux tablet, great concept! So glad that starlabs did go this way! Hope to see more of this product from them :)!
It could replace both an iPad and a laptop if mobile Linux weren't in the sad state that it is in now. For those not in the know, mobile Linux is aiming to have a mobile UI and desktop one that the OS switches as needed. If mobile hardware using ARM wasn’t designed to take away user freedoms like installing any OS you want, mobile Linux would be much more mature. Thanks for supporting AMD/Intel mobile devices. AMD/Intel CPUs have come a very long way in terms of thermals and energy efficiency, I really wish they were more popular.
It's so amazing to see this thing in action on video. Thanks thanks and thanks!!! Now I want one even more, just the screen brightness is my biggest fear. I don't want it to be too dim...
Yes, for indoor use 300 nits is okey, but would not say nay to 500 nits :)
Thought I heard they had changed the resolution of the screen for a newer batch of tablets, wonder if the brightness is different on those.
@@ironfist7789 think that its the same, 300 nits
i cant wait for mine to arrive
Have you gotten yours yet :)?
@@everlastingos yes. its defenitly underpowered, but still a good device imo
Thanks for the overview!
Thanks for watching!
Does the tablet support pen pressure? Based on your demo @2:50, it seems like it does not.
Can the tablet be placed on your lap?
Can you please make a more in depth review. NO one else has made a review
Will do! Want to use it to do a fair review on it.
👀
I was hoping for more in the writing test. If you're using it as a tablet and drawing on it, does it ignore the side of your hand?
as a software developer i would love this. Is there an on screen keyboard when physical keyboard is not attached? I wonder if Miro would work with the pen. Really looking forward for more in depth review. Thank you!
With Gnome there is a on screen keybord, but i need always swipe up from bottom off teh screen to get it up, it does not come up auto, but works good!
Is possible change te battery? is modular device? thanks great video!
Do you still have the Jingpad? I'd love to purchase it from you.
Thanks for the review! I see that the CPU is fanless. Does this imply that there are no other fans and that the device is silent? I really need it to be quiet. Speaking of which, how hot does it get?
yeah, totally fanless, no sound at all :)with video streaming and browsing, around 40-51 degrees for me.
Is it possible to extend the screen to 2 monitors?
How do you get the MicroSD port cover off? I've tried a paperclip to press in the silver dot to pop it out and it's not coming out.
The same way i do remove my sim card on my phone, yeah did use that sim tool, and could get put in a micro SD.
Can you try Lomiri on Ubuntu 24.04 or Debian 12? 😄
Debain 12 work the best, it is the snappiest one, just needed to upgrade the kernel to 6.5.
@@everlastingos You already tried installing Lomiri?
I just want to know which Linux distro offered for this tablet has the best touch experience. I know Ubuntu LTS works best, but I do want to try out other distros.
best touch experience for me is Gnome! Check out Fedora :)
Did you test it with wayland? Gnome refuse and fallback to X. On KDE, I get major flickering and it's unusable. Even with `i915.enable_psr=0` in kernel boot parameters. Disappointing, I was hoping I could run waydroid to complement it.
For me wayland work good on Fedora 40, did install waydroid and had no problem!
@@everlastingos I tried Fedora 40 and it's working fine. On Arch, it's all broken. No idea what's going on. Sway works fine, phosh works but the touch screen is very buggy. I'm gonna have to dig and see if fedora is applying patches or parameters to their kernel.
Do you have to use a store bought battery for the pen?
Did use the pen from my JingPad, that one charges with USB-C.
How's battery life?
depends on your Distro, but around 4-5 h of youtube streaming
What are the specs?
Intel N200 (fanless)
16 GB RAM
3,5 K display
512 GB SSD
Has anyone tried to install Fedora on it??
x86 or arm?
Running in Intel N200, a fanless x86 cpu :)
