Last chance to get 10% off a Librem 13 or 15 puri.sm/posts/black-friday-201 for the and conscious: tamper detection, kill switches & full disk encryption. The Shop accepts &

@purism yes, but when will you actually ship these things?
Most people don't want to wait 6 months to get their hardware, ...and another 5 on top of that until the hardware works well enough to be an actual daily phone.
I'm told the battery life kinda sucks too. $700 USD is kinda steep for that as well.

@kevinj @purism Librem 13 and 15 are laptops and they ship fast (it's not this phone project)

@purism i looked at the 13 and 15. In general they look like solid machines. Watched the youtube unboxing and review, pretty good. The only problem really is that it only has an Intel graphics chipset.
For 3D Mechanical CAD work i typically do using Linux Mint and a windows VM, the GPU is going to be my bottleneck.
Really nice hardware for a netbook though. Of course, if the idea was to make a netbook running Gnome3 probably an ARM CPU would have been cheaper.
