Lapdock Kit restock

Hi, I’d like to purchase the Lapdock Kit and the product page says that it’s “Available on backorder - restocking soon”.

Is there some waiting time estimation? Is it a month or a year or more? :slight_smile: As far as I see on Product Stock Status and Delivery Lead Time – Purism , the Lapdock Kit isn’t even listed there.

I ordered a lapdock kit from Purism several years ago now. It’s been sufficiently long enough that I do not remember when I ordered it, but it was probably in the year 2023.

I’ll make a mental note to try to remember to reply here if it ever actually materializes and ships to me.

Sent from my Librem 5

@JCS ?

Bear in mind that it is a third party that provides the actual lapdock.

Would it be paranoid for me to mention that when I ordered a second lapdock from Nexdock website directly instead of Purism, this direct non-Purism order shipped almost instantly but the ene product was spyware ish and lacked the capability to turn off Wifi, and if you go in the menu and pick wire instead of Wifi then as soon as the phone on the wire goes to sleep the dock re-enables its Wifi to try to be “easy” to use, and also it doesn’t work properly with Librem 5 over wifi without massive headache and it says in English on the screen “connect your Android” or something akin to that

Just saying, I have a hunch Purism might have an awful time getting permission to get more of the original ones made if the primary source company who makes them is busy profiting off of spyware instead

(Basically, anywhere that I go where I want to travel in a mobile way, if I have packing space for the trashy Nexdock what I can do is put my Librem 14 in that packing space instead. And I have a way better time with that, for so many reasons, and then the dock sits and rots back at home somewhere.)

Waiting for years is a pain :frowning: I was lucky to receive my Librem 5 very quickly at the end of 2023, but it seems that’s not the case with some of the other products.

I’m waiting for the Librem 14 v2 (the first one is out of stock) and I wanted to try to use my Librem 5 in full with Lapdock Kit. I’m using GNU Emacs frequently (which is a bit of pain on Librem 5 :slight_smile:) on my computers, so this thing would certainly be of help for me.
