I ordered this Librem 14v1-01 on July 2nd, 2021, which arrived on August 9th, 2021. Since then, a second M.2 NVMe bracket was installed during the warranty period, and recently during June 2024, a new CMOS battery, 3-cell battery, and bottom M2 screws were installed out-of-warranty.
Storage (M.2 SSD): 4TB Samsung 970 EVO Plus (2x2TB)
Power Adapter Plug: US
Wireless: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200(NGW)
Firmware: PureBoot Release 29/RC5
Operating System: N/A
Included accessories are the privacy screen, the Qualcomm Atheros AR9462 (QCNFA222) Wi-Fi/Bluetooth modem, and the Librem Key. Wireless module, firmware and/or operating system can be accommodated to the buyer’s needs before shipment. EC firmware version is 1.13/RC1 (up-to-date). Not shown in the photos are two spare bottom M2 screws.
Asking price is $999 USD/$1,299 CAD or best offer. Payment methods accepted are cash (via mail), store credit, Monero, and/or Interac eTransfer (Canada only). Local pick-up within British Columbia’s Lower Mainland and shipping worldwide from Canada.
Monero as an acceptable payment method is delayed until July, as the Trezor Safe 5 pre-order will ship then. Interac e-Transfer is now added as an acceptable payment method for Canadians.
The mainboard has been replaced out-of-warranty during December 2024 and the boot firmware has been updated to PureBoot Release 30. The asking price has been permanently reduced to $699 USD/$999 CAD firm for all accepted payment methods.
Store credit is essentially a transferable coupon code from Purism that can be created by exchanging or cancelling a held/preordered item. I do not use PayPal, nor do I permit bank transfers or prepaid gift cards at this point in time.
Frankly is the seller. If the purchaser happens to be holding store credit, unrelated to the hardware being sold by Frankly, then Frankly is indicating that a method of payment that is acceptable to him is to transfer the store credit from the purchaser to the seller.
Sure, that can only be done with Purism’s cooperation, and sure, there’s nothing in it for Purism, and sure, it is make-work for Purism and Purism has enough to do already … but if purchaser and seller agree, I don’t see any specific objection to such a transfer.
The distinction that I am making is that store credit is not being created by this transaction. It would have to be existing store credit that Purism had already created for the purchaser for some other reason.
