The StarFighter laptop lineup is now available, and the pricing shows exactly how quickly premium upgrades can push a high-end machine into workstation territory.
The entry configuration starts at $1,878 and comes with an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H, 32 GB of RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. It pairs that hardware with a 16-inch IPS display running at 2,560 x 1,600 resolution with a fast 165 Hz refresh rate, making it a strong option for people who want a responsive screen for everyday work, creative tasks, and smooth gaming without jumping to 4K pricing.
If you’re aiming for maximum specs, the cost climbs to $2,843 for a model that upgrades to the Intel Core Ultra 9 285H, doubles the memory to 64 GB RAM, and switches to a sharp 120 Hz 4K display. That combination targets users who want extra CPU headroom for heavier multitasking, content creation workloads, and a higher-resolution panel for detailed visuals.
Interestingly, an otherwise similar version powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS is priced even higher at $3,573. For shoppers comparing Intel vs AMD laptops at this tier, the gap makes this particular AMD configuration a premium pick rather than a value alternative.
No matter which display you choose, the StarFighter is rated to hit a solid 625 nits of brightness, which is a meaningful advantage if you work in bright rooms or want better visibility during daytime use. Storage expansion is also a highlight, with room for two M.2 SSDs—useful for creators, gamers, or professionals who want to separate projects, media, and applications across multiple drives.
Beyond core performance, the laptop includes a backlit keyboard, a haptic trackpad, and a 1080p webcam designed with privacy in mind since it can be removed entirely when you don’t want a camera attached. Battery capacity is listed at 80 Wh, with an estimated runtime of up to 18 hours, positioning the StarFighter as a machine that aims to balance desktop-class features with real portability for travel, school, or work on the go.
