Maybe we can change the title to Librem 11 v2 Wishlist, I would love to add to an existing discussion here. I know that in the future, ideally they’ll have more options for customizing their hardware, but it won’t be for awhile. There are a lot of things I like about the existing product, including the option of a fingerprint reader, a pen, and a keyboard. I would love to see some changes and improvements though.

In addition to the HKS, I know that the weird back cover for the classic Purism all black would be preferred, rather than the weird current one

Qi2 magnetic wireless charging or some sort of (maybe Bluetooth) dock similar to the Google Pixel Tablet I think is a great form factor.
- Helps get around battery issues by having it always charged to full when not using it
- Can use it as a bedside alarm clock, smart home control hub, a voice assistant (OpenVoice, Neon, etc), kitchen recipe display. I know a lot of normal people who may not replace their phone or laptop with Linux, but may be open to something for a tablet, especially this form factor. People don’t really care that the Google Home or Alexa Show aren’t Android/iOS, they just care that it works and does tasks well
- If pursing the smart home route, ideally if it could be a matter router, rather than just a controller

USB-C keyboard hinge that holds the tablet in place like a laptop (similar to Microsoft Surface Book 3), rather than having to rely on the unfriendly form factor of a kickstand or folio triangle, which isn’t great for travel

Serviceable/removable battery
