The Star Labs StarFighter Mk II Ultra is a Linux first 16 inch laptop with a magnesium chassis, a pop-out detachable webcam and a 4K 120Hz display. We unbox it, dig into the repairable internals, and check out charging, battery life, gaming and local AI model performance before weighing the quirks against a $3,140 price tag.
