You have a StarBook? Would you mind saying which one? I was all but decided on a Tuxedo, but then I saw how (seemingly) sexy the Horizon looks, and now I'm a bit on the fence... :D

sorry, I misread, I have StarLabs Lite, not the Horizon. But I am seriously considering upgrading to it

Oooh, that's even more interesting! OK, tell me more, please! :D

How's battery life? They say it's "up to 12 hours", but I'm assuming that's "lowest brightness, no BT, no WiFi", staring at a black wallpaper"?

Which OS did you go with? Debian? And were there any issues with drivers for the touch-screen?

Do you have it with the keyboard/cover? Does it automatically go to sleep when you close it? Same with the power button press - does it go to sleep and then recover without issues?

Battery life is good, not 12 hours, but I would say closer to 8 to 10 depending on usage. Charge time is a bit long since the battery has a lot of capacity.

Everything worked on Debian out of the box, I'm, using GNOME and did not have to configure nor setup anything extra. Sleep works fine and I have setup the power button to that behaviour. Sometimes when the battery is too low (say about 10%), then it won't wake up from sleep even tho that ought to be enough juice to keep the computer running for about an hour still, that might be a BIOS setting I haven't bothered to look into.
