Open-source Firmware. The Star LabTop Mk IV supports either American Megatrends (AMI) Aptio V or coreboot. AMI firmware is closed-source and has many features including Secure Boot, Performance Modes and configurable options, such as changing the keyboard backlight timeout. coreboot is open-source and is very light-weight, which allows for faster boot time and less power consumption. By default, the Intel ME is disabled on both coreboot and AMI.
You can switch between AMI and coreboot firmware at any time by following this guide.
Performance, battery life or both. The Intel® Core™ 10th-generation processors with Intel UHD 620 graphics boasts outstanding performance. Utilising 14-nanometre processor technology, the variable clock speeds and multiple processor cores enable the Star LabTop Mk IV to switch seamlessly between energy efficiency and performance. And with an array of performance modes to chose from, it can be easily configured to prioritise performance or battery life.
