Tabzlock

the pen I bought supports tilt. The one starlabs sells does not.

MPP is the protocol and has different versions like how Bluetooth or WiFi do. MPP 2.0 has existed for a while it isn't new.

pins, its also a gravity stand with weak magnets so it doesnt exactly attach super well to the tablet.

im pretty surs that codeweavers crossover still works for microsoft365. atleast I used it with office365 last year without major issue.

uh no, mpp 2.0 is the pen protocol. tilt was supported day 1.

nah it doesn't really get that hot, I use it a bit in bed to watch movies and I haven't found it uncomfortable. Its currently winter here though so the passive may not be as great in summer. Anything that's going to heat it up a lot though your prolly going to be using it at a desk.

right yeah my bad, all the io is on the right this one doesn't have a daughter board. The daughter board is for their other laptop. I did buy their pen but its pretty average it works on other tablets but I replaced it with an mp0p 2.0 pen

any mpp pen should support pressure. mpp 2.0 will have tilt and such. personally I have a lenovo precision 2.

Uh, the refresh rate is 60hz the gamut is listed on the specification section. The ram is soldered as it could not be increased it is 16gb which is the max supported by the n200.

main board, screen, battery, daughter board and all the parts can be swapped, they sell them on their website.

I agree the keyboard marketing sucks and the keyboard itself isn't great either. Granted its nice to have a cheaper option without the keyboard, but in current Linux tablet state you probably still want it.

The specs are pretty decent for a tablet and the price of the device. Can handle most tablet tasks and non graphically intensive. I use it for programming and arts and anything needing more power I offload the compile to my PC.

the wacom pens on wacom tablets are solid but plenty of other pens support force/angle and those do work with the starlite.

Hey, I own one of these. For drawing its pretty solid and most software can run on it. The device support MPP 1.51 and 2.0, they sell a 1.51 pen but its quite expensive for what it is. The digitizer isn't amazing and I have found external wacom screens to be better but considering the price of the starlite is about the same (when I bought it) as an only drawing tab I went with the starlite.

Performance is decent, I was quite surprised how managable the n200 is. Personally I use it as a study device and it handles 40 Firefox tabs and 15-20 windows just fine. Only thing is that gnome does not support triple buffering yet so overview animation is slightly laggy on the 3k screen, however this is less on the 2k version and fixed with the triple buffer PR.

The screen itself comes in either 3k or 2k. The 3k screen was only the first batch and the second+ batch is 2k. Screen is 60hz and I believe 300 nits.

To get buttons mappable on the pen device currently you have to use a custom libwacom entry. I have a PR for that on the github.

The Tablet itself is very solid the main complaint I would have is the keyboard, its quite mushy and bounces as it doesn't have much structure. Its alright but not amazing.

Realistic battery is 4-6hr under usage and 9-13 with light usage and ~2 days in full sleep.

No I think its just cheaper, if it was stronger you normally would have a metal plate or the entire base would be metal. The only time I have seen those fail was actually the hinges themselves and not the attachment points. If the metal plate or base somehow got severely damaged I doubt it would cost much more to repair and its still unlikely to damage anything else.

Yeah this is not a fun one, I have done repairs and now do retail this issue is insanely common. Pretty much all budget laptops have this threaded into cheap plastic and I have had many customers devices hinges fail within 4 months in retail.

From what I can tell you also got quite lucky the hinge snapped on the base and not the screen. I've had a couple customers unlucky enough to have it snap on the screen and shatter the glass and or LCD.

The cases where it doesn't completely destroy the screen or base you can normally use epoxy glue, melting or something similar. But that still is normally a temporary solution it will probably break again. If that can't be done or a more permanent solution is needed, I've found that repairs with a metal plate and bolt seem to last I've also seen some people just use an L shaped metal bracket and not close the laptop again...

Regardless its a really annoying thing, I try to purchase and recommend devices with Metal frames (base and screen). Unfortunately even mid range laptops are now following this trend of plastic screwed hinges.
