Librem 13/15: What can I upgrade in the future?

  • Keyboard (e.g. if Purism can source a keyboard with a middle nub (ala ThinkPad)

This is sadly trademarked by IBM, who gave the trademark to Lenovo, who sometimes licenses it to other companies.

  • CPU

This is unfortunately soldered into the motherboard, so you’d need to buy a new motherboard.

  • Motherboard (to support 32GB of RAM)

I think this is dependent upon the sourcing of the motherboard. I’m not sure about if that is possible.

  • Touchpad

If I remember correctly you can replace this easily, so as long as you get a touchpad that fits the size requirements and works with whatever OS you’re using, it should be fine.

  • Display

Also possible to replace.

I also made a post here that might help you.
