Control where it matters.

Faster parts are only one piece. The value is privacy you can see, firmware you can inspect, and hardware that stays useful longer.

Less lock-in. More control.

Star Labs machines are built around practical ownership: choose your firmware options, install your distro, update through Linux, and talk directly to people who know the hardware.

Install your distro

Ubuntu, Fedora, Debian, Arch, Mint, Qubes and more from their standard ISOs on supported kernels, with no Star Labs driver package.

Firmware you can inspect

coreboot source, configurable firmware options, and monthly update work that stays visible.

Hardware security

Measured boot, TPM 2.0, BIOS Lock, Intel ME control, and hardware-backed disk encryption.

Direct support

UK-based support from people who work with the machines, firmware, recovery media, and parts.

Built by people who work close to the hardware.


Firmware, recovery media, replacement parts, and direct support are kept visible because ownership should not end at checkout.
