If Purism would sell only motherboard (various standard sizes) + CPU (disabled & neutralized ME) + Pure Boot (Librem Key), would you buy it?

It’s a shame there hasn’t been progress (as far as I’ve heard, anyway) on disabling the PSP.

I think Intel and AMD are converging on the same unsatisfactory state of affairs - a homunculus CPU that you simply can’t disable, and nor can you change the code that runs on it, and likely nor can you audit the code that runs on it.

This is the antithesis of freedom. This is the opposite of what Purism is trying to achieve.

I wouldn’t quite go that far. I am happy to install RAM and/or disk. Beyond that, I want an assembled, complete computer.

@pureismfan

various standard sizes

I think that will run into lack of economies of scale.

Perhaps the next logical step would be … what about that Librem Mini v3 has a standard mobo size?
