The Linux models are available in either eight or 16-gigabyte configurations, and storage ranges from 512GB to 2TB of SSD space.<\/p>\n<p>Screen options are also excellent, including a touch-enabled 1920\u00d71200 13.4-inch screen as the most balanced option. If you want to blow your budget, then the 3.5K OLED or 4K+ LCD options are worth a look. Although those resolutions aren\u2019t particularly useful at such a small screen size, things should still be noticeably crisper than the base FHD+ option.<\/p>\n<p>The inclusion of two Thunderbolt 4 ports makes it easy to use this laptop with a docked workstation setup, and thanks to its powerful CPU, it\u2019s also an excellent candidate for use with an external GPU\u00a0(a graphics card that connects to a computer using a Thunderbolt connection).<\/p>\n<p>The XPS 13 Plus offers heaps of processing power to compile complex code, while still having enough in reserve so you can browse the web while you wait.

The final pillar of StarLab\u2019s commitment to openness is the inclusion of an \u201copen\u201d warranty.\u00a0 StarLite says the 1-year limited warranty allows you to \u201ctake your computer apart, replace parts, install an upgrade, and use any operating system and even your firmware, all without voiding the warranty.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>While the specs are undoubtedly modest, many Linux distros aren\u2019t power hogs and will run fine on such hardware. If you\u2019re looking for an open-source and budget-friendly laptop that can be used for most daily computer tasks, the StarLite is a very tempting option.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-844174 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/p-badge\/844174\/de962e7964df69d663e6a8d25e1d5b3f.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"ThinkPad X1 corner shot\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" data-credittext=\"Lenovo\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Lenovo<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<div class=\"procon_list\">\n<div>\nPros<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> Excellent materials and build quality<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> Excellent battery life for an x86 laptop<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> Plenty of power for work purposes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nCons<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"maroontext\">\u2717<\/span> The screen is non-touch and relatively low-resolution<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"maroontext\">\u2717<\/span> Speakers are average<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"maroontext\">\u2717<\/span> ThinkPad styling isn&#8217;t for everyone<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>When\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/124664\/lenovo-thinkpad-x1-carbon-gen-10-review-pricey-but-powerful\/\">reviewing<\/a>\u00a0the Thinkpad X1 Carbon Gen 10,\u00a0we were impressed by its premium build quality and specifications. While our review was of the Windows version, even when it comes to Linux, there\u2019s nothing quite like the X1 Carbon in the ultrabook category.<\/p>\n<p>The X1 is available with Linux pre-installed, configured with a 12th-generation Intel i5-1240P, 8GB of LPDDR5, 256GB of SSD storage, and a 14-inch 1920\u00d71200 PIS display.<\/p>\n<p>The screen, in particular, has an impressive 400 nits of brightness and covers 100% of the sRGB color space. This makes it appropriate for a wide range of content creation work. It is, however, a little disappointing that the resolution isn\u2019t higher or touch-enabled.<\/p>\n<p>Battery life in mixed use comes in at over eight hours, but with more spirited use you may need to head for the charger after around 6 hours. The webcam is 1080p (higher than you get for many laptops), and thanks to the premium materials and build, typing and working with the Carbon on the go is confidence-inspiring.\u00a0The speakers are adequate but don\u2019t quite match the best laptop speakers you\u2019ll find in many ultrabooks.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you always have the option of running Windows software on it through dual-booting, making this an extremely versatile machine.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/puri.sm\/products\/librem-14\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-752195 size-full\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/p-badge\/752195\/43c04612e111ae9b92aa326eac32c78a.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Librem 14 on pink background\" width=\"730\" height=\"366\" data-credittext=\"Purism\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Purism<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"greybox_callout\">\n<div class=\"procon_list\">\n<div>\nPros<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> Open source BIOS<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> Minimal closed-source firmware<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"greentext\">\u2713<\/span> Hardware kill switches and other privacy features<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div>\nCons<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span class=\"maroontext\">\u2717<\/span> More expensive than the alternatives<\/li>\n<li><span class=\"maroontext\">\u2717<\/span> 10th gen Intel Core CPU instead of 11th gen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>If you want a powerful computer where <em>everything<\/em> is open source and you have more control over your own hardware, try the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/puri.sm\/products\/librem-14\/\">Purism Librem 14<\/a>.

The Librem 14 comes with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pureos.net\/\">PureOS<\/a>, a security-focused Debian-based Linux distribution developed by Purism.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond open source, Purism is designed to put you in control as a user. The laptop includes physical kill switches that disconnect the included camera, mic, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth when you flip them.

However, note that this is a 10th generation Intel Core CPU for compatibility with the open-source BIOS instead of an 11th generation Intel Core CPU\u2014not a big deal in terms of performance.

This is a hybrid graphics laptop with switchable NVIDIA and Intel graphics, so your laptop can save battery life by automatically using Intel-integrated graphics when you don\u2019t need the GPU horsepower.<\/p>\n<p>The Oryx Pro is available in 15-inch or 17-inch sizes, and you can choose between NVIDIA\u00a0GeForce RTX 3070 Ti, or 3080 Ti graphics, up to 64 GB of RAM, and up to 4TB of storage. The screen has a 1080p resolution with a 144Hz refresh rate. There\u2019s no option for a higher-resolution screen, although that is a nice speedy refresh rate befitting a gaming system. Unfortunately, both GPU options are the 80W Max-Q variants, so there\u2019s little point in opting for the more expensive 3080 Ti GPU, given that both chips <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/BrIPg8KCC5A\">perform virtually identically<\/a> under the same power limits.<\/p>\n<p>System76 only makes Linux laptops, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/system76.com\/laptops\">all of System76\u2019s laptops<\/a> come with <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.system76.com\/post\/623810010985742337\/open-up-benefits-of-open-source-firmware\">open-source firmware<\/a>.

Pop!_OS offers its own desktop environment with auto-tiling windows and keyboard navigation shortcuts, but it also integrates with the hardware.<\/p>\n<p>You can also choose which GPU your laptop uses or configure the OS to automatically use a specific GPU when you launch a specific application in a few clicks. Pop!_OS is encrypted by default, too.<\/p>\n<p>You can install Steam or any other Linux gaming software on Pop!_OS, and System76 even has a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.system76.com\/post\/641571610853326848\/the-system76-guide-to-gaming-on-popos\">guide to gaming on Pop!_OS<\/a> that will walk you through setting up Steam, configuring the open-source <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/lutris.net\/\">Lutris<\/a> software to run emulators and Windows games, and using the\u00a0GameHub software to combine your game libraries from multiple storefronts in one place.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\n setTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s) } (window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n   fbq('init', '335401813750447');\n   fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
