Consumer electronics is broken. We’ve all had the experience of a busted screen, button, or connector that can’t be fixed, battery life degrading without a path for replacement, or being unable to add more storage when full. Individually, this is irritating and requires us to make unnecessary and expensive purchases of new products to get around what should be easy problems to solve. Globally though, it’s much worse. We create over fifty million tons of e-waste each year. That’s 6 kg or 13 lb per person on earth per year, made up of our former devices. We need to improve recyclability, but the biggest impact we can make is generating less waste to begin with by making our products last longer.

Is your laptop in need of replacement, but you can’t find the right laptop? Do the standard laptops not meet your needs or do you prefer to configure your laptop yourself? In each of these cases, building your own laptop is the solution. By configuring your own laptop, you can decide how big the screen will be, what software will be installed and how much memory it will have.

In short, we're just a bunch of geeks. Back in 2016, Star Labs was formed in a pub. We all depended on using Linux, all with different laptops and all with different complaints about them. It always perplexed us that a laptop had never been made specifically for Linux. Whilst many had been 'converted' to run Linux - they seldom offered the experience that macOS and Windows users had. So, after a few pints, we decided to make one.
