@purism They look great, apart from feeling pricey - but that's not your fault; damn AI and the squeeze it's putting on memory/storage!
One thing I'm not seeing though is an option for non-US keyboard layouts? Am I just missing that, is it coming later, or is that not going to be an option for this model?
Also, this is probably a long shot, but are you looking into any non-US distribution partners, to help cut down on international shipping and import duty hassles for non-US customers?
Hello! Thanks for your interest and all the great questions!
It's true that AI and its effect on component pricing has vastly inflated product costs; as prices reduce over time, you'll see Purism products reduce in price as well.
Non-US keyboard layouts are on our minds but simply did not make the initial Librem 16 manufacturing run. We'll be investigating options to offer these in the future, however. The same is true for the Librem 14 version 2.
Yes, we are also coordinating logistics and legal requirements with an EU-based Purism branch location. The ultimate goal is just as you described - to reduce shipping/customs costs and RMA delays. Stay tuned!
